so it looks as if david neal will not go quietly.he has lost confidence in him, the question is whether david neal will do anything else to undermine confidence in the government. else to undermine confidence in the government-— the man who killed three people in nottingham will have his sentence reviewed by judges after the attorney general said it was unduly lenient. valdo calocane admitted manslaughter and was given a hospital order. the review follows a campaign, led by the families of the three people he killed — 19—year—old students barnaby webber and grace 0'malley—kumar, and 65—year—old ian coates. tom symonds has the story. do not move! stay where you are! he was caught within minutes of the killings, but the legal arguments about valdo calocane's sentence could go on for months. grace 0'malley—kumar, barnaby webber, and ian coates were attacked by a violently ill man who hadn't taken his medication. five psychiatrists agreed his defence of diminished responsibility was justifiable. valdo calocane was sent to ashworth high s

neal, let me start with you. i'm not a lawyer, as we all know. i have dealt with classified documents, however, and these arguments do seem pretty farfetched, it's not exactly how it works. even if trump was allowed to take whatever he wanted, he was charged with illegally retaining those documents, even after they were subpoenaed. how does this help his case? i'm assuming it does not. but break it all down for us. >> yeah, it doesn't. i think the first thing to note

i'd also like to comment on one thing neal said. i think it's really important -- first of all, i totally agree with neal, and with you, ari, this is a complete rejection of trump's arguments. but i also think they were very smart to write it as respectfully as they did. they took trump's arguments very seriously and wrote a very respectful opinion which i think will give it a lot more credibility and authority going forward. >> you're both gesturing at a subtle legal point. since you brought it up and you're our experts, let's get into it. you might say aren't they always respectful and diplomatic? i think what you might be gesturing at, tell me, leslie, is some of the claims -- we played one about the murder of rivals. there are others in here -- this word doesn't appear. i did a reading, didn't control f, technically and literally dictatorial, but they don't say the dictator word. in that sense they're trying to be as formally fair and clean as possible, even though i did read a passage where they talk about the obvious claim of

leading off our discussion tonight is neal katyal, former acting u.s. solicitor general and host of the podcast courtside with neal katyal. he is an msnbc legal analyst. and neal, i want to begin the way all lawyers begin when they get these notices from the supreme court that they're going to hear your case. they have the supreme court identified for the lawyers on both sides the question, and the only question, they want to hear addressed. and i want to give that question to the audience now. the question is whether, and if so to what extent, does a former president enjoy presidential immunity from criminal prosecution for conduct alleged to involve official acts during his tenure in office? how would you address that question? >> well, if i'm jack smith, the prosecutor here, i would say absolutely not, or maybe heck no. and just point to the proud tradition of our constitution, which is at its essence, lawrence, there is one central idea, which is no person is above the law. and what donald trump has done throughout his presidency, before and after,

neal katyal and harvard law professor laurence tribe. they have a lot to say, and i'm going a to get straight to it. >> do it, i will be watching. >> thank you. gh >>> boston the fog of today's supreme court news is the hard fact that donald trump is still scheduled to go to trial in manhattan on march 25th to face criminal charges in his first criminal trial, charges that he tried to effect the results of the 2016 presidential election i by making hush money payments to porn star stormy daniels, who will likely become one of the star witnesses against donald trump in that trial, a witness who even donald trump's followers will have no problem understanding what she describes donald trump did with her alone in a hotel room while his wife was pregnant. and when she describes how donald trump delivered his hush money payments to her. and i think r. that the supreme court did today is helping donald trump get out of the crushing weight of half a billion dollars of civil judgments he is now facing in new york. today, donald trump said cihe i

neal: i'm not opposed to it. the speaker pro tempore: to the bill. mr. neal: yeah. no, i'm not opposed to the legislation, no. i'm not claiming time in opposition. that's the point. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from texas, mr. roy, and the gentleman from missouri, mr. smith, will each control 20 minutes. the chair recognizes the gentleman from missouri. mr. smith: mr. speaker, i ask unanimous consent that all members have five legislative days to revise and extend their remarks and submit extraneous material on the bill under consideration. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. smith: mr. speaker, i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. smith: thank you, mr. speaker. the tax relief for american families and workers act is pro-growth, pro-jobs, pro-american. the legislation locks in $600 billion in pro-growth tax policies by restoring three key provisions from president trump's successful 2017 tax reform that have a proven record of creating millions of jobs, raising workers' wages, and

and for those of us doing the math you're doing and that neal's doinge trying to eke ou some kind of case on the merits before the election, what the court did today was sort of events sort of no concern for the fact it's kind of democracy itself against this shot clock, and they seem to be bothered by neither of toez. >> neal, to dahlia's point if the supreme court doesn't see the shotth clock, the judge doe and the special counsel does. you mention there might be a way to shorten the time frame of 178 days. is there a way to narrow the prep time window once the case is returned to her assuming, of course, that the supreme court does not rule in trump's favor on the immunity claim. >> yes. even before we get to judge chutkan the question is when is the court going to decide the case? and i thinkid dahlia makes suchn important point in saying, look, this is a court that moves quickly. i was a lawyer for bush vs. gore, and that was 36 days start to finish. and 3 i remember we had the supreme court we had four days to brief it. we go from four to 40 days in the supreme court. and i do

joining me now, neal katyal, former acting solicitor general of the united states and under president obama and dahlia lithwick, senior editor at slate, covering the courts. thank you both for being here tonight. i just first want to start with your reaction to the court's decision here. and your level of optimism about this trial actually happening before the election. >> i have a lot of institutional respect, alex, for the supreme court out there this morning. with my team arguing a different case and yet i find myself greatly concerned by this decision by the supreme court to hear the case and wait until april iron dome gravely concerned for the rule of law. don trump has a bogus legal argument here. the supreme court is spending precious months trying to hear it. the courts known for a lot of things and certainly efficiency is not one of them and i think the best that can be said is that without schedule is everyone a little unhappy, too fast for donald trump but too slow for jack smith, it creates far too much uncertainty about the preservation of the rule of law in the outcome.

so neal, that's basically plan a. plan b you just alluded to, which he basically, jack smith says, full steam ahead, green light to coup trial. then he says if you must review this, if you feel somehow the doj is wrong, that there's some reason you've got to get into it, case of first impression, things we heard from attorney general holder about that recently on the show, and i apologize to the viewers, it's so new, we don't have it yet for the screen. but he says, if the court believes that trump must have this review at this time, i'm reading from the middle of page 3 to both of u yo, the government then, the doj asks to treat this petition as a writ of certiorari, and then a fast schedule would permit the court to quote issue its opinion and judgment, resolving the immunity issue this term, and rejects the immunity claim, a timely fair trial can begin with minimal additional delay. that's part of what you were referring to. break that down, and then andrew. >> what we're likely to hear from the republicans who are

neal katyal. i left a wrinkle in what this filing actually is. the trump team has not actually requested the supreme court to take over the case right now. they're just asking them to force the circuit court of appeals below them to have another hearing on it. take us through that, and how we would then also end up in the supreme court, even if that did happen. >> yeah. so the story begins with last week, when criminal defendant donald trump lost a three to our decision in the court of appeals which basically called his claim of absolute immunity crazy. they said, oh, -- put the president above the law even for murder, and that could not possibly be the constitution of the united states. so trump now, where it says -- basically seeking to things. one is he ultimately wants the supreme court to hear is absolute immunity case, and second, in the interim, while they're deciding whether to hear it and when they get briefing, and so on about, it he wanted -- the trial stopped in the interim. he wants t

the motion as you and neal have discussed our frivolous.doesn't mean that it won't give the excuse for judge cannon to continue to delay the case, which he so far has grabbed onto every single one of those. with respect to the supreme court, they are not directly related. you know, again, i can't imagine that trump's lawyers are thinking, no downside if the court sees that there is a second claim for immunity, and a very different context, then after he is president. you think you wouldn't be able to make that claim. but that means this will be litigated in a different circuit, the case before them is in the d.c. circuit. they have another case. there could be some justices who are going to grab on to that as a reason to take a case. that is something that if you are donald trump's lawyers probably was in the back of their mind. i'm not sure it'll succeed, but they get no downside for them to make this argument. >> it's all a little maddening. neil, we are rolling around through all the cases. -- i think it is fair to say has been unusually

friend of the show and supreme court scholar neal katyal suspects we will know whether the court willty case within the next 72 hours. joining me is msnbc legal analyst neal katyal, professor of law at georgetown university and former acting solicitor general. i don't go what you're rooting for, i'm not going to guess, but what i'm ruling is the supreme court is going to say we're going to stay out of it because i read the 57-page ruling by the circuit court. looked good to me. >> the supreme court gets about 10,000 requests a year to hear cases. and it hears about 60, and it only hears cases in which granting the case and hearing it is going to make a difference to the parties, and here, i don't think there's any way, shape, or form in which hearing this case is going to change the bottom line results that donald trump doesn't have absolute immunity. i mean, it's true the supreme court has never squarely said a former president has absolute immunity from criminal acts. but that's because no president has ever acted so preposterously as to advance such a notion. it's so obvious, and y

i agree completely with neal that i don't think there will be five votes for that.e shocking -- i mean, unfortunately, i think it will happen, but i don't think there should be any votes for it. it's really fundamentally at odds with what this country stands for. but all of that, this whole legal debate is something that, nicole, you quite rightly are saying, put that all aside, even if they do that and they announce this, you know, trumpets blaring about how the presidency is not above the law and they issue sweeping wonderful language that we all read and think, this feels great, this is the supreme court standing for the rule of law, they might be standing for it in principle and undermining it in fact, because if it results in a trial that could not start before, let's say, september, that is something that is going to lead to, even if it did start them, you're not going to have a result before the general election, in all likelihood. if -- >> we're going to fix andrew weismann's feed there. and so does merrick garland -- let's go with judge luttig's timing, jul

neal, let me start with you. i'm not a lawyer, as we all know.dealt with classified documents, however, and these arguments do seem pretty farfetched, it's not exactly how it works. even if trump was allowed to take whatever he wanted, he was charged with illegally retaining those documents, even after they were subpoenaed. how does this help his case? i'm assuming it does not. but break it all down for us. >> yeah, it doesn't. i think the first thing to note is just the relationship between this discussion and the when you are just having with sarah matthews. miss matthew said that trump's policies are antithetical to the rule of law and democracy. here he is doing the same thing. he is saying, i'm immune and i will delay all these cases against me. so that i don't have to face the wheels of justice. again, it's about being antithetical to the rule of law and democracy. here, his claim is, you know, a look, i am immune while i'm president, even though that was flatly rejected by the nation's second highest court a couple weeks ago. as you point,

joining us now is neal katyal, no former -- he is the host of podcast courtside with neal katyal, ant's getting close. thursday we are all going to be glued to this argument. what do you make of the trump lawyers final brief that they filed today? >> well lawrence, the brief today is poorly crafted, it's legally unsound, it's filled with rhetoric about substance, which i guess is just to say it's par for the course for donald trump brief. you know, it reads this key provision of our constitution, the 14th amendment section three, it reads not as some canonical provision for the civil war, but really like some parenthetical and the tax code where you're looking for a loophole here, or a loophole there and for that reason i think going into thursday's arguments, trump has the far weaker hand. there's any number of other things that can happen, but for you to read the briefs and ask yourself was the colorado supreme court right? and disqualifying donald trump. today's brief i don't think by donald trump i don't think move to the ball anywhere in his direction. >> neil, the one thing i'v

so i agree with neal that there really is no reason for the delay.member, the legal claim here that donald trump is making is absurd. it is one of those things where the oral arguments, the best argument against him was the judge getting the lawyer for donald trump to actually just say what his argument was, because it was so preposterous. so the idea that this is going to lead to losing the war, because even though this decision ultimately will be against donald trump, the delay is allowing him to essentially win the battle. >> everybody heard the freak out level here, for people who don't freak out. so with the minute we have left here, you've argued a lot of cases, to put it mildly, in front of the supreme court. the justices are hearing oral arguments about the 14th amendment case later this week in colorado. what are you going to be watching for? >> i think there have been phenomenal that are friends of the court briefs that were filed in this case. i don't think the policies were that good, but if you make your way through the court briefs, the

>> neal and i are in violent agreement on this. >> violent agreement.s the question of donald trump's immunity should be an easy one but it's been four weeks since the d.c. appellate court promised to act swiftly, and no news on the claim for any actions he took while serving as president. joining us knew, nbc legal analyst, lisa rubin, part of the argument is that donald trump could kill somebody, and that would be fine so long as he wasn't impeached. order the assassination of a political rival. >> with seal team 5, and. >> seal team 6. jaws dropped in response to that argument, the same way they did four years prior when he said he could shoot someone in the middle of 5th avenue and there wasn't anything anyone could do about it. this should be an easy case in the sense that trump shouldn't be immune from prosecution in this case. how the d.c. circuit gets there on the other hand is a little bit more complicated. judge tanya chutkan and her decision said there's no criminal immunity, full stop. the d.c. circuit has a rule with respect to civil cases

we're trump is not a neal con, which has international implications. so for a person that lives on the other side of the planet. yes, trump was it much less than the 2 able ship? that's how you would describe them, but certainly not a stretch guy was going to break up. now you go, you know, imagine if nato has really been broken up, we wouldn't have the situation that's going on in ukraine today. so uh, ill, going back to bill clinton, the bombing of yugoslavia, benito really needs to be abolished. and the trump, uh, you know, was the anti nato individual. and so that's where john picked it up for australia and send for people. one don't shine and people in africa and the baby's trough was less dangerous. he was right, so he had a stake and that election and hillary clinton was the last one that he thought would be beneficial to the world. john pilcher had a long life and a long and respected career. give us your thoughts on his legacy and on those people in issues that he inspired. well, you know, it's very difficult to sum up i've, i've done a 3 alre

also, neal katyal, former solicitor general, he is host of the podcast courtside with neal cottrell. there are both msnbc legal analyst. that gives me your home court. the supreme court of the united states. to the point that we just heard from justice kavanaugh that there is a federal statute, an insurrectionist could be prosecuted under that, and in the guilty verdict there that the statute actually specifies, can't hold office, doesn't take care of it. >> unfortunately, i heard zero answer from the defenders at the colorado supreme court decision today, lawrence. i really sure wish that professor larry tribe argued this case. because the colorado supreme court was left defenseless in today's proceeding. you know, oral arguments are not always decisive but it can crystallized issues, i've watched more than 500 oral arguments, and the goal is always three things. one answer the justices questions, to, to advance your own major affirmative points. number three, if you are going to lose, engineer a soft landing so you don't lose big. none of those goals were meant today. i am left won
