[music] [cheering] >>. [inaudible] >> as we watch the action outside with supreme court today attorney generalgarland released a statement following the supreme court's abortion decision . today the supreme court overturned roe versus wade and held the right to abortion is no longer protected by the constitution . the supreme court has eliminated and established right that has been an essential component of women's liberty for half a century, a right that have safeguarded women's ability to participate fully and equally in society and in renouncing this fundamental right which it had repeatedly recognized and reaffirmed the court has upended the doctrine of stare decisis, the key pillar of the rule of law. here's another portion of the supreme court oral argument in dobbs v. jackson where chief justice roberts engages with julie rickelman, the attorney for jackson'swomen health on s

conservative justices samuel alito, clarence thomas, neil gorsuch, brett kavanaugh, and amy coney barrett leaving abortion rights as a question for each state to settle. the impact to girls and women across the united states will be in many cases immediate. at least 13 states have trigger laws on the books meaning those states will ban abortions within the next 30 days. a dozen other states have indicated that they are likely to take the same action, banning abortions in the absence of roe v. wade. this was not unexpected. republicans have been plotting for decades to get justices on the court to overturn the decision, believing abortion to be murder, and today's opinion closely mirrors the draft that was leaked to politico last month. but for supporters of abortion rights, that does not make it any les upsetting. >> i am spitting mad over this. we have six extremist justices on the united states supreme court who have decided that their moral and religious views should be imposed on the rest of america. this is not what america wants. >> the ruling was celebrated by president trump who m

one flag said f-u, samuel alito, gorsuch, roberts. targeting clarence thomas after he suggested the court should reconsider gay marriage and contraception. liberals are questioning the validity of the entire supreme court and calling for action. >> this court has lost legitimacy, they have burned whatever legitimacy they may still have had after their gun decision, after their voting decision, after the union decision, blaring signal to all future nominees that they can now lie to dually elected members of the senate to secure supreme court confirmation and seats on the supreme court. i believe lying under oath is impeachable offense. >> to hell with the supreme court. >> in a a country founded on church and state, we are held hostage by a far right can court. >> the justices didn't lie, they invoked the rule. that aside, emily, this is returned to the states, if left is convinced of political argument instead of taking a blow torch to the police officers take it to the ballot box. >> emily: with everyone missing the entire point of t

. >> justice samuel alito said this issue is going back to states. we know that 26 states will soon, if they haven't already banned abortion. some of those states had these laws on the books before roe. those went back into effect. others has trigger laws. laws that would be triggered to go into effect if roe were to go down. each state, the trigger law goes into effect at a different time. that's why we're seeing confusion nationwide. there's one other fascinate thing going on. just a couple of hours ago, planned parenthood staid it was going to state court in utah because it was going to challenge utah's trigger law by saying that it violated the state's constitution. the reason i keep emphasizes the word state is this is no longer in the federal arena. e everything is happening in the state and that will be a big lawsuit to watch. it's really changing the legal terrain. >> that is fascinating. wh a twist. what let's take a look at that. >> i do not have a position to sh share with you here today whether or not that case was properly decided. >> th

because on friday morning, led by samuel alito, the supreme court overturned roe v.eversing almost 50 years of precedent. ( audience erupts in booing ) so, reproductive rights in america lasted for less time than the young and the restless. jack abbott's evil twin is gonna be so shocked when he comes out of his fifth coma. its draft opinioning was we leased back in. i read it over the weekend, and basically all that has changed since then is the font. the supreme court went from times new roman to very old times roman. so, the thing is, i already did an entire monologue on this exact ruling, a month and a half ago. it's pretty good, you should go check it out. i'm really mad at those guys for all the jokes they thought of back then. they would really have been helpful to have tonight. damn you, slightly younger me now, everybody's talking about overturning roe v. wade, but this decision also overturns planned parenthood v. casey, which was the 1992 case that upheld roe. and the heart of that case is this: people of good conscience can disagree on this profound moral

justice samuel alito in his opinion writing roe was egregiously wrong from the start a draft of the decision leaked to the public weeks ago took away the suspense of the moment, but not the euphoria of victim ri -- victory for supporters or th sting of defeat felt by abortion supporters here's the scene right now of crowds gathered outside the supreme court in protest and celebration. our team ready to cover it all, starting with pete williams >> reporter: outside the court, now ringed with a security fence, opponents of abortion rights cheered >> complete and utte joy that it was finally overturned but the determination, the steely determination that the battle is not over >> we have a voice in our demands. >> we have a voice in our demands. >> reporter: for others, it was what they were dreading ever since the court signaled in december it was likely to overturn roe. >> it feels like a betrayal it feels like my country doesn't love me and appreciate my body as a woman. >> reporter: the court overturned nearly 50 years of abortion precedence in a ruling that was a first never before has the

vote that would eliminate the legality of abortion. >> that was associate supreme court justice samuel alito in 2006. appointed by president george w. bush, justice alito is the author of the leaked opinion draft which seeks to overturn the roe v. wade decision. retiring justice stephen breyer was nominated by president clinton in 1994 and confirmed that same year. he too was asked about the roe v. wade case and how he would rule if a similar case came before the high court. >> basically, i think that word liberty, in the 14th amendment, has been recognized by most, almost all modern judges on the supreme court and it's pretty widely accepted that that word, liberty, includes a number of basic, important things that are not does only listed in the first eight amendments to the constitution. into the ninth amendment helps make that very clear. because it says, don't use that fact of the first eight to reason to the conclusion that there are no others. so it'll be surprising to me that there is widespread recognition that that word, liberty, does encompass something on the order of privacy. pe

this is a 5-4 decision written by justice samuel alito. this 5-4 decision does not include the chief justice john roberts. he dissented. he did agree the mississippi law issued here banning abortion at 15 weeks, he did say that could be upheld but did not agree with the majority of this to go so far as overturning roe v. wade. justice alito writing roe was egregiously wrong and talked about how it had deepened divisions in this country rather than officially settling the issue when it was decided back in 1973. but the dissent writing a point here saying that womens rights, their status as free and equal citizens is no longer. so, john, we're seeing the deepening decisions of this changed court, this gnaw consolidated court no over trning roe v. wade. >> white house officials have been resignled to this moment being a reality now for several months. the leaked draft really kind of put that into concrete and also helped escalate behind the scenes efforts to prepare for this moment, whether or not the justice department will get involved, how

obviously this was written by samuel alito, five conservative justices signing off with alito, but thenberts wrote this separately from that. he said, none of this, however, requires that we also take the dramatic step of altogether eliminating the abortion right first recognized in roe. mississippi itself previously argued as much to this court in this litigation would the state petition for our review. aborti abortions before reviability are always unconstitutional. the chief justice said, we are not required to take the step to eliminate the abortion right which of course, is what the conservative justices have gone ahead and done here this morning. an historic morning no matter what issue you stand on. roe versus wade overturned, handing legislation back to the states and the decision making back to the states. we know this will almost immediately have impact on the women in 26 states, 13 of which have what are called trigger laws which automatically kick in and ban abortion rights in those states. carol tobias, the president of the national right to life group with us here this mor

yesterday pro-abortion demonstrators returned to samuel alito's virginia home demanding the court uphold roe v. wade. more protesters blocking roads as part of a shutdown dc demonstration. bill barr slamming democrats defense of the protest at homes saying demonstration in violation of the statute are not legitimate first amendment activity. only one arrest has been made, the man accused of plotting to kill justice brett kavanaugh. republicans are calling out democrats over delayed bill to expand security for the justices. house leader kevin mccarthy fuming at speaker nancy pelosi telling her that delay is jeopardizing lives. listen. >> how many times do they have to be threatened? how many people have to be arrested with a gun outside their home? what would have happened had he not called 9/11? he didn't just have a gun. he had zip ties. somehow you want to leave. this bill could be on the president's desk right now. >> carley: house democratic leadership say they will bring that senate-passed bill to the floor, but have not indicated if it would be modified and sent back to the senate

in the dobbs opinion, samuel alito said histories counter to everything roe said. if dobbs turns out to be true, you can't invent right that is historical, interesting. what this boils down to emily, new york law says you have to find a proper cause for conceal carry. where 43 states say you have to tick off the boxes and prove you are law abiding, six other states say no, go the extra mile and saying you are in high crime jurisdiction that your life is at risk that perhaps you could be the victim of gunfire which we cover on the show each and everyday, the number of children killed at just backyard barbecues in new york, if you are in a crime ridden neighborhood, that is not enough to qualify for your second amendment right, right to conceal carry. a state can't say, you can't protect your children, not anymore on this watch of this supreme court. >> emily: absolutely. one fundamental thing, justice thomas said it is not a second-class right and it has been treated as such and not second class to other bill of rights and found this violated the 14th amendment. the

samuel alito writing in the majority opinion that the constitution makes no reference to abortion andonal provision. the monumental decision now leaves the issue up to the 50 states. the decision handed down more than eight weeks after that unprecedentedly cover draft version of samuel alito's opinion. for those opposed to abortion rights, it was a day of victory and vindication. >> we have been working on this for more than 50 years, working to protect unborn children. in the pro-life movement, we have a lot of support and programs, centers, pregnancy centers that will help women. >> justices stephen breyer, jointed by justice with elena kagan and sonia sotomayor, dissented. president biden addressing the nation, saying it is a sad day for the court and for the country. >> the court has done what it has never done before, expressly taken away a constitutional right that is so fundamental to so many americans >> former president trump taking in credit -- because i delivered everything as promised, including nominating and getting three highly respected constitutionalists confirmed to

five who signed the majority opinion include clarence thomas, samuel alito, brett kavanaugh, neil gorsuch and amy coney barrett. and then dissenting is sonia sotomayor andel anna kagan and john reports did not join the majority. he wrote a concurring opinion that he would not have over turned roe but would have upheld r 15 weekss law bng ol reacting to today as ruling. london breed said, quote, the ramificas on public health and poverty and so many downstream consequences have yet to be seen but right now women are scared about what this means for them, for their daughters and for all of us. >> senator dianne feinstein said today it is a dark day. the conservative majority on the supreme court has declared that women no longer have the right to control their own bodies. and state senator scott wiener of san francisco said that this horrific decision effectively removing people's agency over whether and whether to start or grow a family is a disaster for millions across the country. >> san francisco archbishop released a statement praising the high court's decision. he said in part, quote,

. >> reporter: this was written by justice samuel alito. they said it was wrong and damaging. this work could tell women's rights and their status as equal citizens. 13 states are preparing for trigger laws to take effect . >> the right to light has been vindicated. >> 50 years of policy, forcing women across the nation to rethink reproductive, healthcare options. >>> there are legal and political ramifications to this ruling. there is definitely an impact on women's and families. it is a monumental night. 50 years of a constitutional right being overturned. how common or uncommon is it? >> this is very uncommon. what we are talking about is the decision that stands, and less there is a reason to change it. there was no reason to change this law that has been on the books for about 50 years. first of all, the senate confirmation hearing was a champ for the nominees. specifically for brett kavanaugh and neil m gorsuch . they lied. they were under oath when they said it. they did quite the opposite. history repeats. we had a civil war. the states were divided. with this decision

in his majority opinion, justice samuel alito wrote -- "it is time to heed the constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people's elected representatives." in their dissent, the court's three liberal justices wrote -- "with sorrow -- for this court, but more, for the many millions of american women who have today lost a fundamental constitutional protection -- we dissent." conservative justice clarence thomas sided with the majority but argued in a concurring opinion that other key landmark rulings establishing gay rights and the right to contraception should also be overturned. at a protest friday outside the supreme court, california congresswoman maxine waters denounced the ruling. >> you see this turnout here? you ain't seen nothing yet. women are going to control their bodies no matter how they try and stop us. the hell with the supreme court. women will be in control of their bodies. if they think black women are intimidated or afraid, they have another thought coming. black women will be out in droves. we will be out by the thousands. we will be out by the millions. w

is also a former law clerk to supreme court justice samuel alito. another new book out this week former obama white house communications director, dan pfeiffer. shares his view of conservative media and the 2020 election in his new book battling the big lie how fox facebook and the mega media are destroying america. and harpercollins publishers have a new book out this week. it's called the spy who knew too much. in it, new york times bestselling author howard bloom details the story of a decades-long hunt to find a mole in the cia. and one other book we want to share with you that's coming out this week historian and author. joanna scutz tells the story of the birth of modern feminism through the lens of a secret new york city social club in greenwich village. it's published by seal press the book is entitled hotbed. and this is about books a podcast and program which looks at the business of publishing. well each week three of america's largest newspapers the wall street journal the new york times and the washington post review books. here's a sam

i think if i were samuel alito and i'm not, but i think he would say, i'm just letting the states decideu had yesterday. and that's what i believe alito would say. >> moreover, i understand that the polling on roe v. wade is what it is. the polling on actual sort of limit -- unfettered restrictions in the first 15 weeks versus second term and versus third term are much closer to the p pro-life or the anti-roe position than a lot of people are talk about. moreover, look, i agree emotions are high in all of this, but politically and culturally, get ready for a lot of people to obsess about oklahoma city. because in california and in new york, women have not had this right taken away in practical terms. they're going to have the same access to abortion they had before this decision, so all of the media, all of the rhetoric from democrats is aimed at states, justifiably, at places where abortion rights are going to be restricted or access to abortion is going to be restricted. you're going to see purplish states, these fights play out. virginia already has said glenn youngkin has said he's g

justice samuel alito really hewed very closely to that draft opinion that we saw last month. he said that roe is egregiously wrong. he said the right is not in the constitution, and he said that this issue belongs to the states, and he made a point to say that women had political power and they could go to the states and work in the political arena on the issue. here's what he wrote on behalf of the conservatives. "roe was edrgregiously wrong fr the start. its reasoning was exceptionally weak and the decision has had damaging consequences." and far from bringing about a national settlement of the abortion issue, roe and case have inflamed debate and deepens division. he tried to wall off this opinion today from other cases that had similar legal reasoning, cases like for gay marriage and the right to contraception. for alito, he said, abortion is different, because it has to do with ending a potential life. so, an enormous victory for opponents of abortion and, of course, a big loss for supporters of abortion rights. interestingly, the dissenters here, the three of them, they

we begin with justice samuel alito the author of the new leaked draft opinion which seeks to overturn the row case his we begin with justice samuel alito the author of the new late draft opinion which seeks to overturn the roe case. his nomination hearing was held in january, 2006. >> you conceded the fact that we have re

samuel alito stuck closely to the draft opinion we saw last month. he said that roe was egregiously wrong. he said that there's no place for it in the constitution, and he said that this issue belongs back to the states. he pointedly noted that women have political power. that's where this issue should move. intere interestingly enough, he also tried to wall off this opinion from other cases that have similar legal reasoning. for instance, cases having to do with gay marriage and the right to contraception. he said in this majority opinion that roe is different because it had to do with the taking of potential life. it was a huge, huge victory for opponents of abortion, and of course a big loss for supporters. what's interesting here is we saw that the three liberal justices wrote the dissent together. usually it's just one author, all three of them wrote it together, and they really wanted to pinpoint what this would mean for poor women going forward. here's what they said. they said some women, especially women of means will find ways around the st

so the majority opinion by justice samuel alito goes out of its way to say none of those precedents ontraception, sexual intimacy are at issue because the case is about abortion, and abortion is different. but if you read the reasoning of the alito majority opinion, it says the way to figure out if a right is actually protected by the liberty guaranteed by the constitution is to look at whether that right has been protected historically, what do history and tradition tell us? and in this case, alito said the history tells us abortion hasn't been subject to protection and for that reason we should overturn it because it was wrong. take that to things like contraception and same-sex marriage, history won't provide a lot of support for legal protections for note rights. those are recent developments so the method seems to spell i think real danger for those previous cases the court has decided, and that's just the inference you can draw from the majority opinion, the thomas concurrence you mentioned is explicit. it says in no uncertain terms the court should overrule cases guaranteeing a

the most important decisions by the court in modern times the justices in a 6 - 3 ruling with samuel alitoriting the opinion, amy coney barrett and john chief justice john roberts, gorsuch, upheld a mississippi law that the abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy. the law had been ruled unconstitutional by lower courts but justice alito in an opinion for court which now has a very solid conservative majority wrote we in this opinion where we began, abortion presents a found world question. the constitution does not prevent each state from regulating or prohibiting abortion. roe and casey, the other important case the upheld roe v. wade arrogated that authority. we now overrule those and it turned authority to the people and their elected representatives. the decision was greeted with jubilation by pro-life groups who argued for almost 50 years that roe was bad law and badly decided. >> this is a dream come true for me. this is a big win for us and south texas but also for our country. we have to start respecting life. we have to start valuing life. >> everybody needs to understand matter how

help him pull off a literal coup, his three justices, kavanaugh, for such, and barrett joined samuel alito, and insurrection hubby clarence thomas. chief justice roberts pointedly told them you are on your own with this whole striking down roe thing. but since he has into power anymore, the 18th-century crew made those right-wing investments to single-issue voting pay off, big time. py making 50 years of abortion rights for american women, poof, disappear. mike pence, the guy the maga insurrectionists wanted to hang, posted that american abortion is now on the ash heap of history ask that republicans' next big act should be to jam through a national pan. and let's just be clear. what alito, thomas, and the trump gang did today. their originalism is social security as sketchy as it is revelatory. since the 18th century abortion uz legal for women in physical oar mental distress up to quickening, meaning actual moving in the womb. what these justices handed down today was purely about politics. they struck down abortion righ simply pause they could. it is they wanted. it is why they lied in

after 15 weeks, just the samuel alito wrote the deciding opinion released by the supreme court today, eliminating federal protections for abortion, arguing quote the 14th amendment clearly does not protect the right to an abortion until the latter part of the 20th century. there was no support in american law for constitutional right to obtain an abortion. end quote president biden, another democratic leaders say this should serve as a call to their supporters to vote against republicans in the upcoming midterm midterm elections. right now, polls show democrats could lose their majority in both the house and senate. we spoke with a political analyst about whether this morning supreme court decision could change that. history tells us that people vote in midterm elections based on their own personal circumstances at the moment, how do they feel they're doing specifically economically? do they like the direction of the country? and do they like the person who's in the white house? these are all factors that would disfavor democrats at the moment . but whenever abortion rights are on the
