that was the comment by the liberaljustice i the comment by the liberaljustice sonia sotomayor, who gavevative majority, evoked 6—3 voted to ban government to basically undo donald trump's ruling back in 2017. they basically said that he overstepped, the administration exceeded its power with the band, arguing that a firearm with the accessory did not meet a definition of a machine gun underfederal accessory did not meet a definition of a machine gun under federal law. let mejust reach of a machine gun under federal law. let me just reach you whatjustice clarence thomas wrote, he wrote the majority opinion. he says, nothing changes when a semiautomatic is equipped with a bump stock. the firing cycle remains the same, he said. and it's on a social milieu said, today the court puts bump stocks back in civilian hands, she completely refuted this suggestion that if you put put a bump stock on it, it does not turn it into a machine gun —— sonia sotomayor. she says, if i see a bird quack like a duck, i call that a duck. former president donald trump issued a statement after the ruling. he welc

in this case it's sonia sotomayor who is ruled beef against trump. petitioner may renew the application to any other justice and theoretically continue until the majority the court denied the application which means he could keep chugging on the slot machine until the right justice pops up. i am with you that it seems implausible even by the degraded standards of this supreme court. i keep telling myself, that might be true now. all that stands between us and the unthinkable is, are those people in power at the highest enough levels do the right thing or do something craven? >> i think it's a case where the supreme court institutional equities are important to understand. it's also worth noting that the idea that he could ping-pong from justice to justice, that's not how the court tends to do things now. i believe what they usually do is the emergency application would go to justice sonia sotomayor then instead of going to another justice if denied, it would go to the full court as a matter of practice. i think it's fair to say they would almost cert

the court's liberal wing led by justice sonia sotomayor dissented., in the opinion, justice thomas wrote a bump stock does not convert a semi-automatic rifle into a machine gun anymore. more than a shooter with a lightning fast trigger finger does even with a bump stock, a semi-automatic rifle will fire only one shot for every quote function of the trigger now, in this, what is described me as a skating dissent. sonia sotomayor joined her other liberal colleagues writing, quote, the jordi is ruling will have deadly consequences. now, this is not specifically a second, second amendment case, but it did once again put the debate about guns in front of the high court. and as i said earlier, this is one of two gun rights cases that we are watching very closely. this term, this is the last opinion for today, but we do expect to get more opinions next week on some of these big cases which could be another one of these questions about guns. the other question before them is whether somebody a domestic violence restraining order can own a gun. we just sort o

this is something justice sonia sotomayor said leat harvard las month.before but i want to play it again. >> we did go backward in dobbs. i said it on my dissent so i'm not saying something new. we've taken away our right. we've never done that in our history. mind you, there are days that i've come to my office after an announcement of a case and closed my door and cried. there have been those days and they are likely to be more. >> you take what she's saying and what justice kagan has written and it feels like the warnings or calls are coming from inside the house. >> yeah, this is a very upsetting time i twould imagin to be a liberal justice on the supreme court. primarily with dobbs. that was the earthquake of all i think justice ur sotomayor was referring to that when she was talking about closing her door and crying but there are other opinions that overturn precedent, like today's decision that not only liberals aren't going to like but conservatives have to breathe the air and drink the water too and take the medicine and eat the food. i think th

. >> and indeed, i should say with regard to sonia sotomayor, part of her response there was saying that this is going to hamstring the government's efforts to keep machine guns from gunmen like the las vegas shooter. it is a profound ruling we have come across. thank you so much, julia ainsley, for going through that. >>> nearly three months after she revealed her cancer diagnosis, the princess of wales is set to make a much anticipated public appearance. let's go right to nbc's meagan fitzgerald, who's outside buckingham palace for us. this is very good news. what can you tell us about it. >> reporter: good to be with you. this is extraordinary news, just within the last hour here where the princess of wales saying that she will attend the king's official birthday parade, trooping the color tomorrowment she'll be riding in a carriage alongside her three children, and will appear on the balcony, in one of those highly anticipated moments of the celebration. in fact, i want to read a part of a statement she released a letter that she wrote to the world. she says i am making good progress

ruth, in a recent dissent, there is a striking paragraph from justice sonia sotomayor where she posts every single member of the court's super majority who has endorsed an approach to interpreting the law that is based on the ordinary understanding of terms that congress uses and she concludes on this quote, today, the majority forgets that principal and substitutes its own view of what constitutes a machine gun for congress's. what you make up justice so to mayor's very sharp words to her colleagues and the fact that she may have taken on the role as the principal spoiled to this conservative super majority and the voice of the people? >> i think she, better than anyone, knows what goes on behind the scenes and knows that this court contains justices who are really far right activists who are out to wreck democracy. she knows that to do that, it is not enough to issue rulings that are in line with farright antidemocratic principles. several of these people have been demonstrating with their personal conduct that they do not feel bound by democratic notions of justice, accountability,

that is what supreme court justice sonia sotomayor said about the ruling by her conservative colleagues rejecting a trumpeter a ban on bump stocks. in the 6-3 decision, the conservative justices have single-handedly overturned one of the few measures to help stem gun violence in this country and there are not that many. donald trump's administrationck actually band bump stocks after gunmen used them to open fire at a country music festival in las vegas in 2017, killing nearly 60 people and injuring 500 more in the single deadliest mass shooting in this country's history. the trumpeter a policy made it illegal to possess bump stocks using the same federal laws that prohibitsi machine guns bu justice clarence thomas played with more scandal after news of more undisclosed luxury trips from his billionaire benefactor. somehow, e trtwisted logic in h interpretation that a firearm equipped with a bump stock which allows a semiautomatic rifle to fire with the speed of a fully automatic weapon does not meet the definition of machine gun under federal law. this is what he wrote. >> we hold that

in a scathing dissent, justice sonia sotomayor says the ruling will have deadly consequences for words and just moments ago, the bybi campaign laid the blame directly on the former president saying, and i'm quoting right now from the biden campaign statement, weapons of war have no place in the streets of america. but trump's supreme court justices have decided the gun lobby is more important than the safety of our kids. and our communities. i want to bring in our chief legal affairs correspondent, paula reid, who's watching all of this unfold, update our viewers the significance of this, paulo. will, if this is one of the most significant cases going before the high court, this term also one of the few questions related to gun rights that the justices need to decide. now, this case focuses on bump stocks and for anyone who's not clear on what that is, a bump stock allows a shooter to convert a semi-automatic rifle into weapon that can fire at a rate of hundreds of rounds a minute. and the question is whether those should be classified as machine guns. now the trump administration, the

row, supreme court justice sonia sotomayor. sure. look, if it quacks like a duck, and it seems like a duck. i'm going to call it a duck if there's a gun that has a bump stock and it can shoot the way that video you just showed and that audio can shoot. it is a fully automatic assault weapon, which is already illegal united states to buy for consumers. and so this has already been done. and it's just a shame that this corrupt supreme court with nowhere a fixed that's been completely bought off in the process by the nra, the gun lobby and billionaires and incorporations put out this decision and it's going to result in more people dying. >> congressmen. and clearly there has been a spotlight put on the supreme court for quite some time from the ethics questions you've raised as well. and also the for many the head head-scratching idea of matching reality. and what is present in america and what the law is. they believe mandating them to do but you are not without hurdles even in congress. you're a fellow congressmen. actually you

justice sonia sotomayor said to trump's lawyer, this is ray, you are saying the president can go is send out navy seal team six to assassinate his political rival? the answer was yes that is the argument. crazy. >> let's say trump is granted this immunity. what will the us look like going forward? >> it won't look like the united states. the president can do what he wants. he could assassinate his rivals and stay in power for third, fourth, fifth term and do what he wanted so long as he was not impeached. impeachment requires a two thirds vote in the senate to convict someone under our constitution and given where political parties are today, particularly the republican party, it seems trump can do anything and not be impeached. >> what do you say to the people who say, you are being dramatic. our institutions will hold. trump is a big talker but nothing will change in terms of the way the government functions, the country operates. what do you say to those people. >> i heard that garbage before january 6 and look what happened on january 6. those images not just for us as americans but

. >> melissa, you are a clerk for justice sonia sotomayor.t with the thought of taking all these things into account. when concurring opinions are done and what might be happening out there in the world? peel the layers back for people. why are we still waiting on immunity tomorrow? >> let me say this about the immunity decision. i think it is ■çin a norm is an urgent question for the country that it is very likely that chief justice john roberts wants a unanimous decision. and unanimity on a question like that will take a lot of time. there was a deadline internally in the court for issuing dissents and circulating them. even when you have issued, people have to weigh in. that takes a lot of time. it is not necessarily that they are being strategic but i don't want to dismiss the prospect that they might actually be being strategic. i did not expect for example, that we would get in immunity decision before thursday night's debate and low and behold, i was correct on that front. when we will get the immunity decision, we know will be on mond

and also imagine for a moment what the reaction would be if the justice that you clerked for, sonia sotomayorhe other side. >> i thought lauren did a great job getting this footage. it was alarming but certainly not surprising. anyone who has been reading justice alito's writings would not be surprised by some of the things he has said. what was surprised is he felt so free to be clear about his desire to return the country to a state of christian nationalism, if you will, and his sense that his moral view of the universe is the one that should hold sway, and your question is certainly a rhetorical one, a provocative one to some degree, but we know if justice sotomayor was saying things like this in a recorded conversation, there would be calls for her impeachment from the bench, and those calls would likely be from both sides of the aisle. that's what's missing today. we have plenty of democrats saying this is alarming and wrong, but no republicans with the courage to stand up and say this puts the court in a really terrible light. >> right, and barb, it feels like alito is unconstrained at

conservatives on the supreme court say they cannot be banned, leading to a scathing dissent fromjustice sonia sotomayor. >>> but we begin tonight by wishing everyone a happy flag day, which commemorates the day in 1777 when the continental congress approved the stars and stripes as the symbol for an emerging if imperfect nation. and as there has been some confusion recently the american legion wanted to clarify that the flag should never be displayed with the union down except as a symbol of dire distress in instance of extreme danger to life or property. in other words, never upside down. if someone wouldn't mind sharing that info with the alitos, we'd greatly appreciate it. just be careful. martha-anne can come in a little karen hot. the display we saw from some congressional republicans and donald trump cannot be described as anything less than a signal of dire distress. trump has long admired the world's most authoritarian leaders and the forced sycophancy they demand from their people. we've heard it time and again from trump like his adulation for kim jong-un over his citizens of north korea. >>

justice sonia sotomayor notes that these kind of enhancements, basically taking this rifle and making it far deadlier, not really for self- defense purposes, as i mentioned in the lead. self-defense means one or two people are coming at you or you live in a rural area and police are far away. that's more like war. she said they put this enhancement of bump stocks back in civilian rather than law- enforcement hands to do so they cast aside the court's definition of machine gun and seize upon what is inconsistent with the meaning of the text unsupported by context or purpose. am i being too harsh in noting the gap between the suppose it parsing textualism of clarence thomas on this 1934 law while he just ignores the other rules. be at the u.s. flag code for alito or ethics rules for himself? >> no. i don't think you're being too harsh. i think the reality is that this court now serves donald trump in his political interests, not the constitution. the textualism of clarence thomas was largely a front. the front to get himself on the court it was a front for other justices and people in t

justice sonia sotomayor are issued a dripping dissent, writing in part today the court puts bump stocks back in civilian hands. to do so it casts aside congresses definition of machine gun. when i see a bird that walks like a duck, swims like a duck and quacks like a duck, i call that bird a duck. a bump stock equipped semi automatic rifle fires automatically more than one shot without manual reloading by a single function of the trigger. because i, like congress, call that a machine gun, i respectfully dissent. donald trump's campaign issued a statement reminding voters that he supports the second amendment and is endorsed by the nra. court, the court has spoken and their decision should be respected. that doesn't sound like a guy who is very upset with how the supreme court ruled. instead the biden harris campaign blamed trumps justices in a statement that makes clear they no longer see the conservative majority on the supreme court as anything other than an arm of donald trump's republican party and his maga agenda. weapons of war have no place on the streets of america, but trumps j

two weeks ago, justice sonia sotomayor described what it is like to be a member of the court's minoritya conservative agenda into law. >> we did go backwards in dobbs. i'm not saying something new. we've taken away a right. we've never done that in our history. mind you, there are days that i have come to my office after an announcement of a case, and closed my door and cried. there have been those days, and there are likely to be more. >> there have been those days and there are likely to be more. did you catch that? after citing the dobbs decision, justice sotomayor implied that there might be more decisions like it coming down the pike. maybe that is the decision in the mifepristone case or maybe emergency room abortion access. both of those cases, by the way, as well as dobbs, can be traced back to one organization, the alliance defending freedom. it is a christian legal advocacy group that is been around since the early 90s and has played a central role in the trump era push to empower a conservative christian agenda. in the fall of rome, which was a new book published today, autho

i said it yesterday, justice sonia sotomayor wrote the majority opinion in a case that protects the nrat rights were violated by the new york department of financial services. so i think judges can be fair in these things, and i think as much as president biden may be anti-second amendment, may not be anti-second amendment, or even hunter, people are afforded the protections of the law, but i agree with the judge, i think they're going to find an agreement before the weekend. >> shannon: you think it is in part they don't not want the lap to come out? >> jesse: they're not going to present evidence in the laptop at trial that ties joe biden to anything. and i disagree. i think this is going to trial appeared >> judge jeanine: from your lips to god's ears. >> jesse: going to trial because they tried to cut a deal six months ago and it blew up in their face and now the justice department was embarrassed. and they had come in order to regain some level of credibility, i don't think they can all of a sudden try to patch together a deal at the last second, in the face of this trial, in the f

justice sonia sotomayor disagreed, writing, quote, sleep is a biological necessity, not a crime for some people sleeping outside is their only option to new day for california, california congressman kevin kiley praised the ruling. he says he's seen the impacts of homelessness in his own state. you have families that have almost encampments walking their kids to school. kylie hopes this decision gives cities the tools to turn that around, protect public health guard against crime and maybe most importantly, to get homeless the help that they need. but los angeles mayor karen bass criticized the ruling writing, quote. >> it must not be used as an excuse for cities across the country to attempt to arrest their way out of this problem. >> in washington, i'm maddie beer-temple. >> san francisco has, of course, struggled for decades to solve its homeless crisis while some groups believe the supreme court's decision will help the city's others disagree. kron four's theresa looks at how the decision may play out in the city. nearly 3,000 people currently live on the streets san francisco. accor

recently justice sonia sotomayor shared this morning about the road ahead. >> there are days that i havece after an announcement of a case and closed my door and cried. there have been those days, and there are likely to be more and there are moments, and yes, even i feel desperation. >> joining me now, ian mel heiser, author of "the agenda, how a republican supreme court is reshaping." >> firsters traverses the united states. this is his claim of presidential immunity. >> i trump is already won this case. what the court is probably going to do is say president sometimes have immunity and send the case back down to a lower court to figure out if trump does in this case but none of that matters. the issue is are we going to have a trial before the election and they have already run out the clock so much that i think the answer will be no. >> okay, fisher versus the nine states, this is weather january 6 participants including trump can be charged with obstruction of an official proceeding. >> i was very surprised at how the oral argument went. there have been like 16 judges would've heard

in a blistering dissent, justice sonia sotomayor hit back at her conservative colleague logic writingswims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, i call that bird a.. joining me now is the nevada democratic attorney general. it's great to see you again and thank you for coming back on the show. nevadans saw firsthand more than anyone else in this country in a matter of minutes the damage that bump stocks can and do inflict now that you have had a day to process the supreme court decision, walk me through what you think, what you concluded about the decision of what it means for this country going forward? >> thank you again for having me on. and as you were talking about in our conversation, i can never shake my head wondering about what we experienced. i went to bed early on september 30 and woke up october 1st to what seemed like hundreds of direct messages or text messages checking on our city. i did not know what had happened. found that very soon what happened. i was so happy and proud that our city and state came together, and our country came together to surround us with love and

. >> in her dissent, justice sonia sotomayor said the majority's artificially narrow definition hamstringsnment's efforts to keep machine guns from gunmen like the las vegas shooter. the decision leaves any potential ban on bump stocks up to congress. and on capitol hill, there's mixed opinions on how to proceed. >> it's a strong statement and still continue to protect second amendment rights. so i'm glad the court did it. so the supreme court is crippling our ability to combat the epidemic of gun violence. >> in a statement, president biden criticized the supreme court for striking down what he called an important gun safety regulation and called on congress to pass a bump stock ban. in washington, rich edson ktvu fox two news, a federal judge has ordered conspiracy theorist alex jones to liquidate his personal assets to help pay the families of the sandy hook shooting. >> the decision could also influence the future of jones infowars social media platform. jones owns one and a half dollars billion for making false claims that the mass shooting at sandy hook elementary school in connectic

the three liberal justices, sonia sotomayor, elena kagan, and ketanji brown jackson, all sided with theinistration and indicated they would overturn the idaho law. and justice jackson said the court should not have waited. the court should have decided this now. she wrote an opinion to show how strongly she felt. she took the unusual step of reading it from the bench this morning. she wrote in part, this court had a chance to bring clarity and certainty to a tragic situation and we have squandered it. as long as we refused to declare what the law requires, pregnant patients in idaho, texas, and elsewhere will be paying the price. as for the osler -- as for the other justices, justice barrett said it should go back but did not tip or hand on the larger question. justices roberts and cavanaugh did not write at all. geoff: the court also blocked an epa regulation meant to protect states downwind from polluting neighbors. tell us about that ruling. john: this is a plan the epa calls good neighbors. they wanted to work with the states to limit air pollution that drifts across state lines. it

and, justice sonia sotomayor disclosed $56,000 in book royalties. conduct last year, although critics say there is no way to enforce it. >> gabe gutierrez, thank you for that. let's bring in kimberly atkins, political analyst, boston globe columnist, and cohost of the sisters-in-law podcast. welcome, it's good to see you. what is your reaction to this new clarence thomas revelation? do you think the details of his financial disclosures, as a surprise? >> i don't think they come as a surprise at all, particularly, in one of the cases. the trip had been reported on, and suddenly, he discovers six years later that it was an oversight that was committed, and now that is being disclosed at this time, but it still does not explain the heart of the issue, which is that harlan crow is a deep pocketed person with conservative interests, who has pushed those interests in washington, and by taking these lavish vacations with them, being in that proximity, that really casts a shadow over justice thomas and issues about just how objective he can be, just as much

now the liberal justices joined, did a fiery dissent written by justice sonia sotomayor, who wrote quote, when i see a bird that walks like a duck swims like a duck and quacks like a duck i call that bird a duck, a bump-stock-equipped semiautomatic rifle well fires automatically more than one shot without manual reloading by a single function of the trigger because i like congress call that a machine gun. i respectfully dissent around the atf, which put forth this regulation originally released a statement calling on congress to legislate and try to restrict two these bumps docs that way. but of course, it is unrealistic that in an election year, congress would actually be able to pass anything. this sensitive paula reid, cnn, washington would you want me now is dr. joseph suck run chief medical officer with brady, a us gun violence prevention organization, doctor. thank you so much for joining us. firstly, your reaction to this news yeah. >> well, thanks for having me the supreme court decision has put bump stocks, which by the way he enabled the deadliest mass shooting in modern histor

now, justice sonia sotomayor strongly disagreeing writing in her dissen sent, quote when i see a bird walks like a duck, swims like a duck and quacks like a duck, i call that bird a duck. trump saying, quote, send me a bill and i will sign it immediately. joining us now, nbc's yamiche alcindor, and retired atf special agent in charge jim cavanaugh and civil rights attorney and former prosecutor charles coleman. what is the latest reaction we're getting to this ruling? >> well, what we're really hearing from is both sides of the political aisles here. republicans largely saying that they're going to respect or celebrate this decision and democrats saying this is a decision that really needs to be rectified by congress. so with that in mind, let's take a listen to what we've been hearing from capitol hill and the lawmakers there. >> it's a fantastic ruling, not surprising. i would expect it to be done. that's an indication of where we'll be on the pistol brace ban as well. i think it was a foolish mistake under both administrations. >> the supreme court has been on a rampage with respec

financial disclosures for 2026, things, including a book advances for ketanji brown, jackson, sonia sotomayor, and brett kavanaugh and clarence thomas also now disclose a trip and amy coney barrett to and you know, and now thomas disclosed this trip to valley paid for by gop p megadonor, harlan crow. >> so how might these disclosures impact what kind of cases they consider? and i guess if those things are taken into account, why wouldn't the flag issue also be taken into account? >> okay. those books, if they talk about cases, talked about the justices feeling about certain matters which can come before the court that would be a basis to ask for disqualification. i don't have a problem with a justice writing what amounts to be an autobiography or review of case law and what it means that's fine. >> and writing those books, they earn that money and people do listen to what they had to say however million dollars trips to bali those type of things. those are those are a real problematical i mean, justice scalia took a lot of trips, but they weren't that expensive, but he never for declared them

those three appointees in the words of justice sonia sotomayor swing for the fences. for big cases to make big decisions and big changes in american law and life, like overturning roe v. wade, ending affirmative action in college admissions, dramatically expanding gun rights, and more. and there are potential political costs for republicans in many areas because of those rulings. there's no question that donald trump, if he were to be re-elected, would have a chance to do even more. to get one, maybe two more appointments on the supreme court and transform that conservative supermajority swing for the fences into a maga majority on the supreme court. >> david: just help to define that for viewers. bring everybody up to speed. you mentioned a supermajority on the court. in terms of numbers, what does that mean? what does that potentially mean for whoever gets elected to the presidency next? >> reporter: right now, 6-3 conservatives. two of the conservatives are older. clarence thomas and samuel alito. the others are in their 50s, they're going to be there for decades.
