i learned the colorado state supreme court in the united states supreme court have discretion and what cases they taken the state decided to decline so there's only one option left and that would be to appeal to the native state supreme court we were willing to do that but was the court willing to hear a case? that was the question. >> the court was willing to hear your case hotel is the art of the us supreme court hearing your case. >> extremely small that you will be heard. they are petitioned between eight and 10000 cases every year and they will only grant 70 or 80 and those cases normally like to circuit court's night and those that rule differently on two different things that is called a circuit split so they have to justify that they can be one thing in california and another in florida and has to be the same across the board so there are larger cases like that and my case we came from not a circuit or district court it was a stand-alone case. basically coming from the court of appeals we didn't even make it to the state supreme court so the odds were incredibly against us to h

and thought it was over there is only one option left and that is to appeal to the united states supreme court. we were willing to do that but what they hear our case? that was the question. host: they were willing to hear your case and tell us the odds of the us supreme court to hear your case. >> the odds are extremely small you will be heard they are petitioned with between eight and 10000 cases every year the only grant between 70 or 80 and it has to be to circuit if they ruled differently that is the split so they have to justify that the constitution can't be one thing in california and another in california so they are dealing with larger cases like that and in my case they come from the district court or any large thing which was a stand-alone case in coming from a court of appeals but the odds are incredibly against us so they have to go over every aspect and the energy it takes and we got that. >> what did it feel like when you are going to the supreme court? >> the greatest day of my life there is a website you can follow any case that you are looking at which means they had in fron

that's the supreme court of the united states. ia supreme court has ruled that prosecutors don't have pardon power. and third, only a judge can grant immunity. only a judge can sign an order granting imthe munity. this is an unprecedented opinion and it's important for people to know it's not an exoneration, it's a technical technicality. this is an experienced prosecutor. very experienced criminal trial lawyers. very experienced civil trial lawyers and there's no paper trail of this alleged agreement anywhere. >> the attorney for bill cosby said to john deals like this are made all time. >> absolutely false. disscent pointed it out. things are put in writing. also it's important to note and this is in a the dissent, prosecutors don't inject themselves into civil suits. the claim is that cosby relied on the promise that if you testify and you don't assert your fifth amendment rights we won't prosecute you. that's the claim by the majority of the supreme court. well, prosecutors don't inject themselves in civil cases. there was no c

supreme court to succeed the famous john marshall. and for more than 20 years taney had been chief justice of the united states supreme court. s to taney's court that the dred scott case comes. is argued and heard. and on march 6 clinton, 1857, a decision is handed down. it's a clear-cut majority decision, 7-2. and the opinion in this case is written by taney himself. what does he say? he says basically two things. dred scott must stay at slave because he has no standing to sue in federal court. it's a question of jurisdiction. this is a technicality. but it's an important technicality. taney writes the question before sus whether the class of persons described in the plea and abatement compose a portion of this people. and our constituent members of the sovereignty. we think they are not. and that they are not included and were not intended to be included under the words "citizens" in the constitution. and can therefore claim none of the rights and privileges which that instrument provides for and secures to citizens of the united states. so taney's first answer in the dred scott case is a no to dred scott. on the basis that

to move to the proper channels in the appeal process that they always believe that the supreme court or the state supreme court that is, would rule in their behalf. and they were right. so yes, they were worried about the conviction yet they were upset about the convention. but they ultimately believe that if this case, this appeal would move up to the state supreme court that it would rule him, bill cosby space. and so he's not clear to me know what he's saying that he's, he's not guilty. we know that this is more of course, that that is a legal that is a legal thing. this his conviction has been overturned. but that does not mean that he is innocent. remember, a lot of technicalities, how you look at the law between not somebody's in an innocent whether they've been convicted and whether a conviction is overturned. so we have to be really careful about how we phrased that. and this is one assault. but, you know, i remember dozens of women have accused him of sexual assault over a period of many years. do you expect there to be new allegations? there could be, you know, but so many women have al

so what this state supreme court is saying now is that bill cosby should have never been prosecuted in the 1st place because they had an agreement on the table that he would not be prosecuted in exchange for his testimony. so because of that, they're saying that this conviction has to be overturn. what people have to understand is that this decision that came out on wednesday does not say that bill cosby is innocent. it is not say that there wasn't enough evidence by these dozens and dozens of women that came forward and claim that bill coffee, sexually assaulted them. that is something very different. so we have to be very, very careful about how we can find this with the law. speaking of the law, k j. i mean, is this the ends now of this particular case for cosby and how about other legal measures? well remember bill cosby is 83 years old and that this case really surrounds just one woman. andrea constant. yes, we all know there's more than 60 women that have come forward and told her story, but because of the statute, limitations, and other lack of evidence in some of those those ca

court case, 2020 election was the most scrutinized election ever in american history. challenge after challenge brought to local, state and election officials, state and adderall courts, even to the united states supreme court not once, but twice. more than 80 judges, including those appointed by my predecessor, heard the arguments. in every case neither cause nor evidence was found to undermine the national achievement of administering this historic election in the face of such extraordinary challenges. audits, recounts were conducted, in arizona, wisconsin. georgia was recounted three times. it is clear, for those who challenge the results and question the integrity of the elections, no other election has ever been held under such scrutiny and such high standards the big lie is just that, a big lie. [applause] 2020 election, it is not hyperbole to suggest it is the most examined, and the fullest expression of the will and -- the will of the people in the history of this nation. it should be celebrated, an example of america at its best. instead, we continue to see the example of human nature at its worst, something darker and more sinister. in america, if you lose you accept the results, you follow

actor bill cosby was released from prison in pennsylvania after the state supreme court overturned hisual assault conviction. he arrived home in suburban philadelphia hours later having served nearly three years of a three to 10-year sentence. we will take a closer look later. there is word tonight that former defense secretary donald rumsfeld who championed the wars in iq and afghanistan has died. his family says he passed away tuesday in taos, new mexico. nick schifrin reports on his life and legacy. nick: a navy veteran and republican congressman, donald rumsfeld was america's youngest defense secretary in the cold war. he was also its oldest defense secretary and oversaw the wars post 9/11. on the morning of september 11, he was a stretcher bearer burying wounded from the pentagon. >> the fact is in this battle against terrorism, there is no silver bullet. nick: he was an architect of the afghanistan and iraq wars and propagated the argument that saddam hussein harbored weapons of mass destruction. >> what do you make of the statement madey the iraqi government yesterday that iraq

supreme court did not comment on that. so this is not an opinion about cosby's guilt or not guilt in this case, right? this is the statepreme court in pennsylvania. what about the u s supreme court? do you think prosecutors will appeal this to the u. s supreme court? you know, they made you that that's something that i'm sure they're going to explore. but my opinion will be that the supreme court will not take this case. they might, but i don't think so. this case will stand. cosby will live out his life unless other charges are brought in freedom. remember it is not a comment on whether he did this or not. it's a comment on what the prosecutor did in this case and how the prosecution used what they said. they wouldn't use. let me ask you about how we even got to this point. i'm curious about your take on the old d a. i mean lisa bloom today. lisa bloom being the attorney for three of bill cosby's accusers said that this is a slap in the face to all the victims out there and she emphasized, just as you said cosby is not innocent, right? she she still says that he did it. it's just an old prosecutor made this deal and m

supreme court decision. it is mildly positive in the sense there's a remedy. i think it is critical that we make a distinction between voter suppression and suspension. the ability of a stateody to come along and vote -- the legislature vote to who is declared the winner i find to be somewhat astounding. the supreme court did not rule that way today, to the best of my knowledge. but i'll have much more to say about that because i plan on speaking on voting rights. thank you all very much. >> we have been watching along with some of our favorite reporters and friends msnbc political analyst david plouffe, a former campaign manager for president obama. yamiche alcindor is back as well. david, this seemed like the part of the job that this president was most prepared to do and yet it still seemed like a very sad and difficult day where he tapped into his faith, into the reality there's nothing he can do other than offer comfort and the comfort of the nation. >> no question, nicolle. i think it was comforting, though, i'm sure for the entire country to watch president biden on two fronts. one, the professionalism about what needed to happen, the cooperation, even with ron desa

making supreme court court appointments more political and democratic, but it's if you want people to have a say about which presidents are selecting supreme court justices. and it's up to states. if one court justice retires, or gets killed, it might be more political in the sense that we're having public confirmation of whether we want the president to appoint a supreme court justice. but that's another way of letting the people decide, letting the people have a conversation the next day into who they really want choosing supreme court justices. >> and i think these vacancies are already part of the presidential election. it is widely regarded as one of the reasons that donald trump won in 2016. he ran on the supreme court. but i will also say as we look at the broader conversation, as to where we are on the progressive movement, joe biden won voters who said the supreme court was important issue to them and deciding their votes. so this whole conversation, and this grassroots mobilization and movement around the courts, is already moving in a progressive direction which is why i think that as you know you say we have two years or a year and change at this point, but the tim

supreme court. currently only six states have an apa justice sitting on their state supreme court.hat accounts for this disparity? the apa legal community faces barriers including lack of role models and recognition. stereotyping even for ostensibly positive traits such as hard work and diligence has often disadvantaged apa attorneys who may be passed over for high-profile assignments because of misguided perceptions that they are too passive to be effective in a litigation or courtroom setting. within the apa legal community, there are identifiable gaps in the judicial pipeline. for example, apa law students are well represented in top-tier law schools, but they do not obtain judicial clerkships in comparable numbers. apa lawyers are underrepresented in law firm partner ranks. they are underrepresented in public sector leadership. traditional pathways to the bench, including clerkship and law firm partnerships often involve highly subjective criteria such as likability, leadership potential, and other amorphous factors as to whom judges, professors, and partners regard as their pr

ginsburg died while still sitting on the court at a time when republicans controlled the united states senate. that is how we got president trump's third supremeee on the supreme court. in worst-case an area, if justice breyer should step down after the senate is retaken by the republicans, nobody believes that president biden will be allowed by the republicans to put his own nominee on the court. justice breyer has given no hints that he is going. from the outside, we can objectively observe that he has authored a few of the courts bigger decisions in the past few weeks. maybe that sort of a last hero, we don't know. history says if he's gonna go and make that announcement, it will be soon. ten of the past 11 justices to retire from the court either announced their retirement or times the retirement for the end of the term. again, the end of the term is tomorrow. big day tomorrow. potentially gigantic news day tomorrow. watch this. i discovered some very interesting documents on ancestry. this is the uh registration card for the draft for world war two. and this is his signature which blew me away. being able to... make my grandfather real...

this today was a unanimous supreme court ruling from the state supreme court of missouri, and this is a big deal. last year, in 2020, and missouri, in a state where former president trump just rocked in the general election, he beat biden by 15 points. nevertheless, in 2020, missouri voters also voted, by a large margin, to get health insurance to hundreds of thousands of people in missouri who currently don't have it. and republican politicians in missouri were loudly and uniformly opposed to this ballot initiative, and missouri is, for sure, a red state with republican leaders dominating every level of state government. but a big healthy majority of missouri residents voted for this constitutional amendment that they put in the ballot last year that will get more people in the state health insurance. it will get them health insurance to medicaid. and it is a consequential life changing thing for so many people on an individual level and individual misery families, this will be 275,000 people who live in missouri right now who don't have health insurance. who are going to be able to
