throughout its history, the vast majority of justices have intended -- attended a handful of the top law schools in the country. today's decision is not based in very -- fairness and is not about merit and it is not about creating a racially just society or upholding equal protection. this decision is another blatant attempt by those with power and privilege to do whatever they can to hold onto that power and privilege. we cannot allow them to deny our children the same opportunities and pathways to leadership positions and a our society that their children have enjoyed, positions that will give our people a bigger say in the future direction of our country and our democracy. we are here to tell those with power and privilege that you have to share. we will not allow you to rollback decades of progress one by hard work and perseverance. access to education is one the greatest drivers of success not just or individuals but for families and communities. we know that investing in more pathways and opportunities leads to two -- true liberty and justice. racial diversity and higher educat

and also help our fighters, well, thank you in any way by the way, viktor chumak, lawyer major general of justiceformer chief military prosecutor of ukraine, was also in touch with us regarding the topic of drones, drones are cool, we always need a lot of them, and that is why we cannot wait only for some foreign deliveries to help partners in procurement from other countries, actually the minister of digital transformation of ukraine, mykhailo fedorov, announced that the production of ukrainian drones has already grown and in which categories has increased by more than 100 times, if you compare the situation with last year, let me remind you that it was drones that made a breakthrough at the front on the battlefield this was repeatedly told on our airwaves by our guest military personnel who work directly with these drones, so please join the compilations about drones about macs because they save lives and to things, tonight, our joy, these were naval drones, most likely they tore up, destroyed, damaged the crimean bridge, and that's good, too. now we have a short break . next, we'll talk about

viktor chumak is a lawyer in the main , e.e., a major general of justice of the reserve, the former chief military prosecutor of ukraine in the 19-20th years, unfortunately, now we have to pass the baton, we have to pass the baton, but i will go ahead a little and say that the african union calls for the immediate restoration of the ukrainian grain agreement about more news of important things iryna koval will tell you in a moment thank you oksana i will tell you in just a moment what aid has come to ukraine from germany there will be information about the explosion in odesa and also about what nasa will soon show us, wait in ukraine at 15:00 for your attention, a news release on the espresso tv channel in the studio, iryna koval welcomes all viewers, cheetahs, drones and all revenues germany handed over another package of military aid to ukraine in particular received six cheetah anti-aircraft self-propelled artillery installations and ammunition for them , reconnaissance drones, as well as 10 tracked all-terrain vehicles shells and about the situation at the front, the armed forces of u

the court has done in the name of the major questions dock rin, and of course, has done that 6-3, the same alignment in all three of these cases. the majority of six justicesservatives are claiming there's something new out there called the major questions doctrine which means that kperkive authorities like the president may not have the discretion to exercise any kind of authority when there is a so-called major question at stake. the problem here is what's a major question? only those six justices seem to know, at least so far, somewhat a major question, such that it would preclude the president from acting without a clear congressional mandate. this case, according to the court, is leaving it to congress to give that clear mandate, though congress didn't pass legislation, that the president thought he was acting consistently with. that's not enough for this mu majority supreme court. we have to figure out what's a major question. it's not clear at all to lawyers what that is, but once that's clear, then the court is saying only congress may provide direction on these questions. >> the door wide open for future litigation in really all of these cases. pr

a majority of of the justices on the supreme court agreed with nancy pelosi when she said that the presidentoes not have the power to do that. if you want to do it, you've got to do it in congress. >> joey: and that's what's so seemingly nefarious about it. they do this, make this promise almost in the sense that they know they can't fulfill it and it's almost a win win for them. >> steve: look good, look, we're trying. >> joey: they can look good in the meantime but if the supreme court and republicans attack it or stop them from doing it, now they have a campaign angle. so it's like they win either way and only americans lose. >> rachel: yeah, you know, when these decisions came out last week, i saw a tweet from our good friend will cain who said just wait. look for coordinated attacks on the supreme court. and that's what we've been getting. listen to this. >> this far-right extremist inbalanced supreme court which seems to make history for all the wrong reasons. if they were a caucus in congress, they would be the bootstraper forced birth don't say gay caucus. >> i support expanding the

nine out of ten decisions had at least one of the court's liberal justices in the majority. in other words, less than one out of every ten were decided by a 6-3 margin with all six republican-appointed justices in the majority, and on some major cases, the court's rulings reassured liberals and disappointed conservatives. the court flatly rejected the idea pushed by allies of president trump that state legislatures have total control over federal elections. it also upheld a key component of the voting rights act, and it rejected a republican-led challenge to president biden's immigration and deportation policies, but in some of the most consequential rulings of the term, especially regarding affirmative action, there is no doubt that the court's solid conservative majority is making its mark, and that's where we begin with abc's devin dwyer at the supreme court. >> reporter: the supreme court term with surprising consensus ended with explosive decisions. striking down president biden's student loan forgiveness plan, creating an exception to anti-discrimination laws for free s

they support programs that increase the diversity of college student bodies and the four justices with that decision, justice roberts and his majority, and the three justices who had concurring opinions, all wrote they understand the importance of a diverse student body. what the majority and the general public thinks is that they don't want to check the box to achieve a student body that is diverse. but the public recognizes it is important for our country. host: jackie pfeffer barrel. keith in denver, democrat line. caller: good morning. since you are a bipartisan policy analyst, who are -- i have a couple of questions. who is the primary beneficiaries of affirmative action so far? we should know this data. host: -- guest: well, the finding of the court was that students of color and especially black students had benefited from affirmative action. it also found that race had been a negative and asian americans were less frequently admitted through the use of the programs at harvard, unc. that is a reason why they found the ways in which these policies were implemented and these schools did not need this scrutiny and were used as a

what do you think of the way justice thomas treated history and the majority of his opinion? what do you think the right answer is for history in the original list of liquidation? guest: i think it is right that justice barrett wrote separately to state that concern. it is something she has written separately at this term many times to emphasize we need to get the timing and methodology right to make sure we have a coherent theory that is consistent and respected. but more concerning lee, justice thomas did something different entirely with originalism in my opinion which is overreliance on historical practice. not just looking at historical practice at any given time period to look at what the words mean but to say that it will only tell if there is a historical catalog. i think the problem with that is historical practice cannot be determinative because sometimes, the government can get it wrong. or the court get it wrong. so you consider something like the slaughterhouse cases where the supreme court gutted -- that clause in a way that almost everyone acknowledges to be wro

of 2024. in a statement, trump said it is a major setback in the department of justice's crusade to deny him alegal process. the date falls right in the middle of election campaign season. trump faces serious charges over the storage of sensitive files at his mar-a-lago home. india has announced a rice export ban that could send high prices soaring even further. it's the indian government's latest attempt to rein in high food prices. india's exports account for 40% of world rice exports. >> the impact of this could be substantial because india's is the world's largest exporter of rice. about 40 percent of global supplies come from here and so this decision will mean that global prices will evidently rise. all of this is happening at a time when the export prices of indian rice have already hit five year highs last week. it could help cool domestic prices ahead of the general elections next year. for the rest of the world this is particularly worrisome at a time when el niÑo hot weather patterns are expected to lead to crop damages and a late start to the rainy season in india has stoked fears

of justices only seven times and could do it again. house democrats are calling on president biden to back major judicial reform for scotus, including anansion, as well as a binding code of ethics for justices. something massachusetts congresswoman, ayanna pressley, says a sorely needed thanks to some of the conservative justices questionable friendships with billionaire, gop megadonor's with business before the court. . >> i'd assume that most people considered the highest court of the land to be one that is operating with the highest of ethical standards and integrity, is nonpartisan, and is advancing the justice consisting with the majority wall of the people. and of course, all three of those are in question. they are moving in a way that is partisan, again, as accomplices and coconspirators and the obstruction of justice, consistent with the agenda of the maga-verse publicans. >> the renewed calls for reform come as the court continues to rip rights away from americans. last june, the court's conservative majority overturn decades of precedents from abortion rights gun control laws to climate change proposals, and this year, the c

most of these other colleges will have to look the on -- look beyond their own states. william: justice roberts in his majorityd diversity on the campus is a commendable goal not at the expense of others, was the implication. how do universities respond to this allegation that was made by asian american students that they were being discriminated against in the at shins -- in the admissions process? jeff: we tend to think of admissions as a meritocracy but it never has been one and probably never will be. the reality is nine out of 10 students who apply to the most selective colleges are denied admission. the students who are accepted are accepted for a variety of reasons. we have athletes, legacies. we need to have a balance among gender at these places, balance among geography. sometimes students are accepted because they are from the right state in many cases, or might be a full pay student or the third baseman for the baseball team. we should not think of the meritocracy of admissions as a pure thing. i think that's what was missing in the supreme court decision. william: lastly, the issue of standardized

majority opinion that says, hey, here's the relief. the alabama association realtors is asking for. right. here's why we think each the prongs of that relief is satisfied. i disagree with how the majority of however many justices interpreted the statute, the public health service act, which was the the statutory basis for the eviction moratorium. but they did it right right. they provided a rationale. we know why it blocked the eviction moratorium. contrast that with, for example the navy seals vaccine mandate case. right. this was a case where a federal judge here in texas blocked covid vaccine mandate for navy seals. the fifth circuit did, a fifth circuit, right. and and it went to this and the supreme court on froze the district court injunction basically put mandate back into effect without any explanation. and i you know i like that result i think military has the power to require especially seals to be vaccinated but there's a really important legal question lurking in that case about the court's newfound interest in expansive protections of religious liberty apply to the military. in contrast to a 1980s era supreme court decision that says the military gets deference even where religious liberty is conc

of major significance. the dissenting liberal justices argued the first amendment does not protect the act of discrimination, noting this is the first time the high court has granted a business open to the public a constitutional right to refuse to serve members of a protected class, and saying that will, quote, mark gays and lesbians for second class status. after a series of major rulings that in many cases overturned decades of precedent, a number of progressive lawmakers are now calling for a variety of supreme court reforms, though president biden made clear again yesterday he does not support expanding the court, arguing that would only further politicize the process. in washington, alice barr, nbc news. >> okay. thank you, alice. >>> our coverage of the latest monumental ruling by the supreme court continues in our 6:00 p.m. newscast. coming up, how local college students are reacting to the decision and what they're saying may surprise you. ian cull has that story at 6:00. >>> well, it is still unclear exactly how a woman died this morning in san jose, but new tonight police are confirming that it i

of the major decisions are getting a start of this morning. joining me now to continue the important conversation on affirmative action is at leaking mystal. justice correspondent at the nation, host of the new podcast and author of, allow me to retort, a black guys guide to the constitution. elie, to my friend, in response the chief justices majority opinion, you wrote in the nation quote, his opinion attempts to capture the 14th amendment and redeploy to justify a white version of color blindness that just so happens to lock in a status quo that benefits whites. why is the majority's invocation of the 14th amendment equal protection clause such a insults here? >> yeah, because the 14th amendment passed after the civil war, after we fought a whole war to charge in slavery in this country was not passed, and so forestry blues white kids could lucky in the college. that was not the point the 14th amendment. the 14th amendment was passed explicitly to redress racial strife in the past. in fact, the authors of the 14th amendment and legal nerds will note that i am making a originalist argument right now, the authors of the 14th amendment passed the 1

of the court's democrat-nominated justices were in unanimous agreement almost half the time. and that's not all. at least one of the court's so-called liberal justices with as in the majoritymore than 80% of cases. that means that more than 80% of the time at least one liberal justice agreed with the court's conservatives. kind of makes the supreme court seem not very extreme, 80% of the decisions had justices from so-called both sides, conservative and liberal sides. yes, there have been a handful of decisions where all the liberal decisions have disagreed with the decision. there have been plenty of cases in previous years where most or all of the so-called conservative justices have disagreed with the majority opinion and i don't remember democrats having any problems with the legitimacy of those outcomes. mr. president, democrats' utter hysteria in the face of some mainstream supreme court decisions could almost be amusing, but it's not. because democrats' rhetoric and proposed response to a supreme court that issues decisions they disagree with has crossed a line. i completely respect democrats' right to be upset at and disagree with supreme court decisions. i've disa

democrats are openly calling for increasing the number of justices from nine to 13, to dilute the supreme court majority that all of us have worked for for 20-something years. that's destroying the independence of the judiciary. there's not a worse idea on the planet than have politicians change the number of supreme court justices when they don't like the decisions. that's the end of the judiciary as we know it and they're openly talking about doing that. the new republic. i don't get it, i don't read it, but other people do. the democrats need to destroy clarence thomas' reputation. what's going to happen tomorrow is fulfilling these ideas. again, the supreme court needs to get their house in order and i hope they will. but top they're going to try to create -- but tomorrow they're going to try to create a law, senator durbin and his colleagues, that was through congressional statute determine the recusal of a supreme court justice. they're going to create a complaint commission that would allow complaints against the court to be adjudicated by a lower court's judges. in other words, they're going to
