I agree with Elie. There is no fixing this court. Expand the court and impeach Thomas. And friggan start voting!!
Yes!! Wake up, Dems - Are you aware yet our democracy is half way down the toilet??!!!!!
And I agree with you GrayBeard
And try Roberts for conspiring with dark $$ actors, & BK, ACB, & NG for perjury.
Fine, but what happens when the next republican gets elected and packs the court again. And impeachs Sotomayor or Jackson?
Expand the Supreme Court by 4 new Justice.. we’re sick and tired of the right wing BS!!
Elie Mystal is my favorite Lawyer on TV. He's so smart!
Race hustler
Thomas Sowell is the man you need to listen to. Mystal? Why not hop on over to Thomas's RUclips page give a listen. Have a open mind to opinions rather than listen to a MSNBC paid hustler.
@@jakebob5101 Based on your characterization.... "NEVER!!"
All that has to happen is these FIVE judges need to be charged with Perjury/ lying to Congress and kicked off the Bench. Then replaced with ACTUAL Judges (that don't LIE).
C,
With judges that only agree with you regardless of the constitution.🤦🏾♂️
Like Kagan, who did the same exact thing in other cases. You libs overlook her rulings and her confirmation testimony.
@@mananimal3644 so -- the Constitution says you can LIE UNDER OATH ..? I must have missed that part.
@@mananimal3644 You don't know anything about the Federalist Society, do you
6. six justices. roberts speaks softer but carries the same fascist water.
I AGREE 100% Elie, take their power, they should all be impeached for lying to get confirmed
The ones who are sell outs
Their confirmation hearings are not made through the judicial process and cannot legally be held against them.
YOU GO ELIE!
wow, did you come up with that all on you're own? Considering where you are I don't think so. Sheep.
@@jeanneratterman that would be the two ladies, I bet the latest one will sell out the Constitution as well.
When a state like Wyoming with a population of only 600,000 gets as much Senate voting power as California with 40 million the power in the US senate is so skewed against a moderate or progressive agenda that it is nearly impossible to move forward on any of these issues. Even without the filibuster 45 % of the population elects 65% of the senate. That 45% is in predominantly red states. The President is not a dictator and we need a legislative body that reflects the majority to put things right. All the proposals being put forward by Mystel are only good as long as the 2 years left in the Biden administration. We need real long term solutions.
Yes, amount of senators per state should depend on population. Something else for congress to reform - add it to the list.
Wyoming has 1 representative, California has 53. According to the Constitution each state is supposed to get 1 rep for every 30K people, so I think we are really on the short end of that stick you are waving around. How do you propose that there be an equal division between red/blue states in congress when it is up to the people which political party they will support?
@@roxannaweaver2155 - talking about Senators - each state has 2, no matter the population
@@C.M.30337 population of legal citizens. Continue to be underhanded California.
@@aaronalegria1239 - very few undocumented immigrants in CA and what has that got to do with the number of Senators in each state. Stay on topic and stop making stuff up.
Elie mystal very transparent when it comes to everyone's rights 🙏
I have to agree with this young lady about those fundraising emails... Cause I've been flooded with those emails as well.. and this could have been resolved decades ago.. I'm not sending not a thin dime to the none of them..
The codification would have been overturned by the SC, just as any future codification of anything else, including abortion, will be. The only solution is to expand the court or remove christo fascist perjurious SCs.
@@dHolbach77 And as a foreigner witnessing this from abroad, I’d have to conclude: good luck with that, in your divided country where minority rules and where 70% of Republican voters still support trump and agree with the idea that he was cheated out of office, and where incidentally (Republican) senators and politicians refuse to honor their subpoenas, especially those who tried to overthrow the government with their criminal dear leader.
And I don’t even mention the filibuster and gerrymandering tactics to remain in power, since even worse is to come in election processes. The coup is still in progress…
Good luck indeed. Scary, even for a foreigner like me, living across the pond.
@@jmb3608 I know, election fraud can have negative effects to a country, state, and local government. I think the people who did vote blue in 2020, are starting to regret it now.
@@dHolbach77 my thoughts and prayers go out to all the blue hair pregnant men out there who's life was effective by the overturning by supreme court. It's not going to stop abortion, the satanic elite still need their child sacrifice.
@@mikegraham2929 If they are, they are crazy.
It was not so much voting blue, as voting a wannabe dictator out of office. If they don't understand that Biden is not responsible for the global economy, it is too bad.
There was no significant voter fraud, no matter what trump and his rabid supporters keep claiming… to this day. Incredible.
The Electorial Colleges need to go, the Supreme Court needs to be regulated and be held accountable.
Expand the Court JOE!!!
And if a Republican became president again, how would you feel if they expanded the court for their advantage?
U need to take a history class why that is problematic
thats why ur a puppet...lol
Those judges swore TO GOD and us they wouldn't overturn Roe. Impeach all three. Or expand the supreme court. This is a clear demonstration of imbalance of powers between the three branches of government.
No they didn't.
There’s not going to be any impeachments of Supreme Court justices. Get that childish notion out of your head. And insofar as “imbalance”, you need to do a deep dive on what exactly the Supreme Court does, because this is what it does. Live with it.
They light under all then deep your moved if that was me or you would be in jail I don’t understand why it’s different for them they lied and they said they weren’t gonna do something and then they did it they need to be removed there is time it seems to be impeached for him and his wife have been doing the corrupt have no right to tell the rest of us out here what to do with our lives we should all vote on it because nobody wants this nobody wants Roe overturn very few people
They are lucky that I'm properly medicated and busy!
@Zynathera wrong, they all LIED UNDER OATH and made statements affirming "Roe is precedent upon precedent" and "Roe is the established law of the land" legal "precedent" means you HAVE TO follow it.. these are ACTIVIST JUDGES that have decimated the FIRST AMENDMENT SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE
I love to hear Elie Mystal roar!!
I dont think the democrats will help us either. But it is crucial that the fascists be kept out. Take down the fascists first, the corpratists next.
The dems will just keep rigging their primaries for people like Hillary and Biden. What's the point in voting for a party that will appoint a creep with dementia?
What if the two are connected? Makes the ball game harder.
If the Democrats can get a real majority things will begin to go in the right direction. It’s a 50/50 senate with two rogue Dems. Can’t do it without Senate majority. Vote like you’ve never voted before or we won’t have a vote that counts. It’s being implemented as we are posting now. This is serious and now is not the time to criticize but to take action and talk to people when you out about how important it is to vote. I do it all the time. Especially to young people. Biden’s trying to do his job, now let’s do ours!
Democrats are far from perfect, but the republicans party is just too extreme and hate filled to allow back in office. The in fighting among the left is, I fear, just giving another win for the republicans. Which then means even more rights will be stripped.
Excellent dialogue, excellent presentation from Elle Mystal!!! Great work keep it up!
Indeed. And I’d add - he is ALWAYS excellent and to the point.
Ethics Reforms for the Supreme Court, an act of congress, yes, Okay. That would be a step in the right direction. Preventing the American Republican Fascists and the American, theocratic, “Cristo-Fascists” from eliminating our Bill of Rights is imperative.
sounds kind of hypocritical for a party trying to take away second amendment rights and silencing free speech...
@@altrusianwolfdog2564
What second amendment rights? No Democrat administration has attempted to take away the 2nd Amendment or responsible gun owners guns. They do want better regulations that actually are proven to work in other countries. Also, give me an example where a Republican was actually silenced by Democrats.
Yep! We need to stop christian nationalist christofascists from getting their way and plunging us back into the dark ages with Levitical law! We need to have laws where you cannot make something law based on mere belief, especially not faith based belief, which is not a viable method to derive truth or interact with actual reality! "If you can't show it, then you don't know it" should be sufficient to thwart belief based legislation! You either demonstrate truth to your reasoning for making policy, and prove it factually, or STFU! It's only fair, rational, logical, and rather simple too!
@@kevinskiles2033 don't mistake 'failure' with lack of desire and attempt. Diane Feinstein said many years ago that if she could have gotten 51 votes in the Senate she would have told Mr and Mrs Amwrica turn them all in. The discussion was guns. There is not a single Democrat politician that would NOT change or eliminate the 2nd amendment if it was easy to do, not one. Don't kid yourself. And EVERYBODY knows full well the censor problems of Facebook, Twitter and RUclips, the threats of violence against conservative speakers on college campuses and else where if Colterr, Hannity, Levin, and Limbaugh. Those weren't libertarian students. You don't see it because you refuse to. Pay attention.
@@altrusianwolfdog2564 hypocrisy is a badge of honor to the left. It doesn't shame them.
Elie Mystal, my hero! He is a man similar to AOC as a woman. Both bold, honest, brilliant! I love hearing him speak!! Tell it!
SCOTUS is now the supreme instrument of fascism
yes--the 2nd insurrection-coup-by the SCOTUS. Dictatorial strategy besides stopping Press Freedoms is taking over the courts.
Jason Stanley. He's a professor at Yale University He's written several books on fascism and he made the statement that one of the most important things for fascism to prosper is to get control of the courts. That is exactly what is happening
I wish Elie had a show. He is so blunt and somehow immune from the both-sides creep that seems to capture almost everyone else.
He's too raw. They'll never give him his own show or if they do, they'll try to dictate what talking points are allowed...
It just seems like our current group of politicians did not take any political science classes. Do they not know we have a system based on checks and balances?
pack the courts the president can do it what more do u want
The Republicans figured out those aren't LAWS...so they just ignore them. Republicans don't play by the "rules" or accepted "norms" and are only marginally affected by "laws". They don't have "standards" or "integrity " and they plow through "guardrails".
Each day they go unchecked is another day they break the law with impunity I don't understand why the congressional jail isn't full of people right now.
The system is dependent on people with morals and ethics occupying the offices -- people who will RESPECT the checks and balances. Right now, the corrupt Republican justices on the Supreme Court have no respect for the court or their roles. They are extremely biased political activists who are making radical rulings that the law and the Constitution do not support.
They don't care
I love Elie! "Nobody gets to elect these nine judicial wizards that get to rule over all of us!" 👏👏👏 I've told my husband that since Dumpy got elected, it's not just him, it's what he gets to do while he's there.
Elie is preaching the gospel politics, now if only we would get it done.
Also, the Supreme Court should have 13 judges to represent all 13 districts. We should do our part to vote in more progressive members of Congress, and President Biden should do his part by appointing more diverse judges like Ketanji Brown-Jackson. July 9, 2022, 8:35pm
@@adampkalb Could not agree more!!! Each judge should be responsible for a district, so a total no brainer to expand the SC.
Bonnie, you people have already screwed up the country. Baby formula? This is still the USA and to have a formula shortage alone shows enough about you. Socialist Democrats in a year and a half did this. I personally think it's on purpose. You never know, could just be plain stupidity?
@@adampkalb Do you have a job, Adam? You should go south and maybe try to stop the real terrorists you un-American socialist are allowing to enter. In a year or two you people will be responsible for all the deaths they are going to cause. Ever think about that?
Biden is asleep at the wheel
Term limits for supreme court justices. 18 years, expiring every second year. Strict qualifications for appointees. No B S during confirmation hearings. Pass it on!
And impeachment if they lie at their confirmation hearings
@@lesliecurran1704 Jailed for perjury.
@@pavetheworldlovely amen, lock up sodomy the ONLY justice that committed perjury.
But, if you can prove Roe was overturned before Thomas said it was settled law, you can lock him up as well. Hey, democrats have no trouble lying, that should help.
We need to be able to vote them in and out.
We need term limits for Congress
Most of us didn't vote for Manchin either. Yet he can thwart the will of the majority for his own personal gain, allegedly.
Vote progressive.
A majority of the people in West Virginia voted for him and that's who he answers to.
@@timothykozlowski2945 Exactly. Manchin answers to his voters not the American people.
Whiner
Progressives belong in the ground
Isn't it sad that our three branches of government was set up specifically so this wouldn't happen, and it happened anyway? Soon they are going to completely obliterate the constitution, the bill of rights, and the declaration of independence, and I mean every single amendment.
Elie Mystal nailed it, as usual…
Yeah, he's wicked cool! (
Totally.
He's always on point
@@Bob-of-Zoid yeah that cotton swab hairdo is fire!😆👌
Ellie thinks that the court gained the power to strike down laws and actions of the other branches
but the court has always had that power since the constitution was written
their appointment is democratic since our representatives appoint the judges ad w elected the representatives
Yep Ellie, you got it!
yes. The 500 pound Q-Tip who said our constitution is trash is a fool of the highest order. I haven't found a single issue he's been right about
@@aldoushuxleysghost They actually praise fools like this, who say's the most absurd and egregious things. Yet, turn around and point at republicans as extreme... It's surreal.
he sure got it all right. Months and months back he got it right. He actually has a brain and analyses facts very well unlike some of the trolls here....
Amazing how he can just rattle off all sorts of simple solutions to a problem
He's wise.
He had notes,too. Watch his eyes...
Amazing only because it's simply not that simple. Every executive action he listed is not at all guaranteed to work. I agree Biden should try some, but they will be met with strong resistance by the courts, GQP, and even some dems.
Constitutional scholars having notes in case they need to cite something obscure or important so they get it right is fine with me. I’m done with folks who govern via gut-feelings instead of ideas, intellect, compassion, empathy & ethics-Elie relies on solid tools for progress.
And amazing how Biden doesn't even try
I agree with the young lady in the beginning!
For Democracy, EVERY YEAR IS AN ON YEAR. Democracy requires Active Participation. Serving in school boards to keep education viable and awareness of civic responsibilities, all levels of city, county, state positions, federal offices…. Even as volunteers for libraries, crosswalk guards at schools, ….. many hands make light the work, find an itch that sings your heart! Thank You 😊
liberals are so annoying with their vote harder. Even an annoying failure like hillary Clinton got 6 million more votes?
The system is setup to favor republicans rip and kick an whine all you want
liberals are so freaking annoying with the bs I swear
Hear, hear! There is no "off-year", Joe... you need to make people aware of that - because voters on the Right do know that already! They kept voting every year for over 50 years despite not getting Roe overturned, yet they kept on voting for Republicans up and down the ballot, especially locally, and now they finally got what they wanted.
Agree 100% Democracy takes work. Everything comes with a cost. Voting and staying active in participation is the least we can do as citizens.
This is what happens when Congress doesn't draft & pass any laws that establish protection of these rights we lose. We rely too much on judicial interpretation of the law, believing court precedent is somehow permanent & unchangeable but the whole history of the Supreme Court paints a different picture.
It wouldn't matter, the federal arm can't introduce a law the SCOTUS has determined is unconstitutional.
We foolishly think they won't just grab the rug out from under our feet suddenly. It's plain that they enjoy exercising their power and we've got to make a path forward a way to grab that overwhelming power back from them. These are not people who really value democracy or most importantly, separation of Church and State. I can look at the Founding Father's with a more jaded eye than I have in the past, knowing Jefferson kept a slave mistress in the basement and the Father's didn't intend freedom for anyone other than white men, but for me they were redeemed by that one ideal they clung to adamantly: separation of church and state. I think it was a rare idea among nations, derived from their experiences of nations drenched in blood from religious strife and our history of welcoming religious refugees like Pilgrim's and Quakers. They were openly suspicious of Christianity as state religion and made eye-opening statements totally opposite from today's evangelist believers like: "America is in no sense a Christian country' (John Adams, Treaty of Tripoli). I think that one idea is the shining light on the hill of the Founding Father's and I wish it had been articulated it more precisely because fascists always move to their default position; "the free exercise of my religion". I wish the First Amendment said, rather, in some form - freedom of religion and freedom FROM religion
I'm a Buddhist and the destruction of this one great idea frankly gives me shivers. My ancestor was Jesse de Forest, a Huguenot who escaped the Spanish Inquisition in France and helped to found New Amsterdam. I guess it's in my blood, also William Wallace I'm descended from.
As I told them in response to their latest donation grab, "Don't ask me for any more money until you finally accomplish something with the millions that have already been donated to you for years and years. You people do NOTHING."
The Supreme Court does not take money
You go Molly!
@@Frenite Stop playing dumb, you know she's talking about Corporate Dems.
Exactly right. Corrupt and immoral are the six in the majority. And being a moral person is the first qualification for any judge. So they are summarily UNQUALIFIED.
Being that they're Constitutionalist and that's what they vote on.

Elie Mystal, is the BOMB, he says things like it is with no apologies! He should call Biden and tell him all he said in this video... LOL... So well said!!
Biden is not interested. As he said to his wealthy donors, his agenda is that nothing will fundamentally change.
The Dem Establishment's plan is to ride the Fascist pony all the way down; pretending that there is no pony and eating brunch. Their agenda is "Bidness As Usual" and "Head Back To Normal". They're like those three monkeys, "Hear No Evil, See No Evil, Speak No Evil" AKA deaf, blind and dumb.
Our institutions have been corrupted and crippled. They will not save us.
We The People must save ourselves and each other.
but the sisssy can't handle it when someone else says something different with no apologies...ahahahhahahaha
This video was excellent! Elie is brilliant in having seen this coming and about how work should have already been going on to prevent this. He even provided some suggested solutions to the issue. Katie was very good as well, real passion and good questions.
That was so real and nobody can deny that.
always so glad to hear Mr. Mystal's interpretations....

I just discovered him recently. He is so smart and so passionate. He is not at all afraid to call people out for doing something wrong or not doing something strong enough. And I just got to the point where he mentioned Biden getting permission from presidents Manchin and Sinema. So biting and so true.

Bless your racist heart.
Amen. Elie (and others like him that seem to know what they're talking about) needs to either run for an office position and or the current administration needs to hire this guy. Either create a position for him or consult him, etc.
Really need to hold the feet of the Supreme Court to the fire. Remove the liars (those that broke their oath) from their seats.
who would replace him tho. He's serving his purpose. Agree better gov't reps are needed
I think that the SCOTUS needs to be expanded. 13 is a good number. We also need a bit more diversity.
Elie's consistently been the most brilliant on this issue. And- weirdly, democrats are just blowing off the advice.
That’s because most of the establishment democrats are perfectly fine taking money from the same groups as republicans to do nothing as well and they have no issue basically fundraising or galvanizing people to vote for them because the conservatives are just completely demonic. But democrats will continue to sit around with their thumb up their bums saying we just need more money, more representation in congress so just keep voting for us. There’s prolly less then a handful of actual representatives in congress who actually put their constituents needs over their own political aims or enriching themselves. They had the opportunity before all of this and the scotus to actually codify roe, but they didn’t do it, they have the oppurtunity to carve out or end the fillibuster, a fillibuster republicans don’t require to actually achieve their aims and is basically just an obstruction tool for them to have permanent veto powers, and they could have taken this election the people gave them which was said was the most important election in a long time and done something with it, put more justices in the court, passed significant legislation but they’ve done nothing while hiding behind sinema and manchin and just saying yeah nothing we can do here sorry.
That's one of the big problems with Brand D. They keep thinking that things will just get better. Wishful thinking.

SC justices serving for life was supposed to be a check on power by keeping them out of the election process.
The problem is that when the Constitution was first written in the late 1700’s, life expectancy was in the 40’s and 50’s. Today it’s decades longer.
the constitution was written by slave and land owning men who wanted a Greek/Roman style empire, and should not be considered a sacred unalterable document. To paraphrase Jefferson, revolution needs to happen every few decades!
Didn’t seem to be a problem when there was a more liberal court (i.e. when the court heard Roe v. Wade). Now all of a sudden, term limits on the bench are a problem.

@@Frenite
Your opinion in favor of forced pregnancy and birth is moot based on one simple fact, maternal mortality rate is expected to go up in excess of 21% now that abortion has been banned. This is one of many points that you & other pro-control advocates seem to neglect mentioning often due to lack of knowledge &/or those who do not care either way. For those who are unaware of this & other significant facts who have been mislead to feel their pro-control stance advocates for saving lives, in reality they're advocacy is going to inevitably lead to a much greater loss of life.
@@Froggy77100 You do realize all these abortion bans have exceptions if the life of the mother is in danger?
"If you don't know, now ya know." I love Elie Mystal.
The GOP has blocked the efforts on all levels for the policies. It is difficult to get anything through congress due to the GOP blocking and a few of the party. If the Court had not changed the ruling, things would not be in this situation.
I'm sorry, but don't make excuses for the Dems "repeatedly not doing the job/s" we put them into office to do. The Repubs are not to blame for everything Dems don't get done when we put them in office. The Dems lack of effort, backbone and fight are their real problem. Many of them are, just like Biden is being...to agreeable, condescending and politically correct to put up a really aggressive enough fight against the Repubs. Birds of a feather maybe???

Yeah,who will check? We don't need anymore creepy crooked liberal wokies poking their noses where they don't belong.
There IS. Don't challenge a law, and they can't hear it.

"SCOTUS SHOULD HAVE TERM LIMITS."
They’re not politicians, they’re judges and part of an independent branch of government.
@Janice Blount Where there's a red will, there's a way! We the people collectively can make them do that. But, will we?!
He’s right. We are the majority of voters. We just need to get out and vote and then hold them accountable
Got news for you, the majority of voters are not far left progressives ( spoken from a former Democrat, now independent voter. )
We the people have "gotten out and voted" and put Dems in power many times over the years...and yet very little changes/ed. So that's clearly a rally cry that is just another red herring of sorts. Am I the only one who STRONGLY SUSPECTS that for many years the Dems and the Repubs are really the right and left wing of the same bird...used to distract and keep we the people thinking that there is really a difference in the parties in power in any significant or meaningful way?

I am here for it.
Yup! I don't want Biden for another term. He's a corporate Dem who's doing a lot of damage that's not getting much coverage from mainstream media. Why is DeJoy still running the Post Office? Why did Biden nominate a Bush era privatization advocate to the SS Advisory Board? His name is Andrew Biggs. He's a Dubya Bush guy.
Mr mystal responded to one of my tweets one time and schooled me. I will follow that man all the way. Gettem sir. You have support!!!
Elie always brings it. When he talks, I listen.
His book "Allow Me To Retort" is excellent, and very readable. Humorous too!
1:10 Biden's laugh at her question was repugnant.
Establishment Dems (the old guard) are OKAY with this decision! I think the voting block of the party that is "blue no matter who" needs to either come to terms with that, or rebuke them full stop. We have a whole bunch of 70+ year old politicians in that party who think the country is still the same as it was 40 years ago, when they started kicking everything down the line.
I think "the old guard" may have let this happen to motivate people to vote for them. But.... vote for them to do what? Democrats need to treat Manchin & Sinema like the GOP treated Madison Cawthorne. The minute he stepped out of line, all kinds of things started coming out about him.
@@jamedraa8472 Out of line by leaking about cocaine fulled Republican orgies. That is some serious stuff. Of course outright lying and overt fascism is okay with them.

We need to elect more Democrats so we can pass Bills to improve lives!
Voting is like driving.
D to go forward.
R to go backwards.
VOTE!
In some states, like Ohio, where I live, due to gerrymandering it is impossible to vote in democrats.
@@willow6049 We Democrats need to enlighten our fellow citizens of the true differences of the parties. How the Democrats work to help the people and communities while Republicans work for corporate profits.
And when the religious aspect is brought up, . . .
Isaiah 1:17
"Learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow's cause."
You can't correct oppression if you're not woke enough to see it.
Matthew 6:24
“No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.
That’s what they did to me too as soon as it happened they were texting me about money. That women was right they should have done something about it along time ago if they did let it happen on purpose so they could use it to campaign with and get our vote which you know maybe that’s not true but sure seems like it and I don’t know why they didn’t fix it a long time ago
They should have, also voting rights.
But if they would've codified Roe they wouldn't be able to fund raise off the threat!
The perception of dithering inaction, a politicised Supreme Court, and a seemingly hopeless inability by Democrats to produce effective messaging is why it is very likely that they will lose in the coming midterm elections. Even stuff like the DOJ taking so long to move is seen as bumbling and ineffective even though it likely isn't.
Strong leadership evokes a primal response. Democrats are once again, hopelessly ineffective at countering Republican talking points that portray Biden as weak, global inflation and global high fuel costs as his fault and so on. The very least they could do is utilise the executive power mandated to them by the electorate. Appointing an articulate effective spokes person to relate their achievements, programme and entrenched obstruction from the right could be useful. They are not by any means a perfect administration, but they are better than the alternative looming on the horizon. Voter apathy on the left in this country is a MAJOR issue too. I am a 70 year old EX Republican ( Post Reagan ) now independent. I will likely strategically vote Democrat in the near term simply to counter the fascist extremism of the right. I am not convinced we will collectively achieve that aim.
I have no idea it was on purpose..for whatever their reason was. I think Elie pointed that out pretty clearly. They KNEW...and this did NOT catch them by surprise or unaware. It's all part of our system's gaming from both sides! We are just made to THINK politicians are on opposing sides. Most are not. It's part of their gaming of US...we the people!
The US Supreme Court needs to be expanded to 13 judges. The extras would cancel out the corrupt justices.
People who say this have no concept of history
How about people praying with the judges? Please report on that.
Rolling Stone just reported it.
or attending fundraising events with congress people who recommended them (her) to the scotus!
They did...
THANK YOU ELIE
Four of them are seditionist.
If everyone knows I might be pregnant, where's MY privacy?
You have privacy, but that right only goes so far and doesn’t cover the right to an abortion
We can't do much without power! VOTE BLUE 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
My family and friends convinced me to go red.
No, why would I vote for such an awful party
add 4 more judges to the bench now
Can't do it without the Senate.
The power has always been with the people but the people are easily manipulated.
Got that right.
Elie is one of the rare if not only commentator who dares to tell it like it is.
Katie Phang completely missed it; Mr. Mystal wasn't complaining, he was accurately pointing out that the current administration was and continues to drag its heels on this issue. As you'd expect of a critical thinker, his remarks were intended to illuminate the bigger issue of whether or not there's real motivation and desire by this administration to meaningfully respond.
Gee Jerry, an attempt at logic without acknowledging the disaster that the current administration is. Not only has Corrupt Joe been a puppet for the far left, he’s been a feckless c*nt in defending anything you liberals want. Corrupt Joe has been great at failing his base that voted him in and he’s failed the country as a whole in nearly every policy he’s implemented and every issue he’s faced. He’s been a bilateral disaster, so if you and EraserHead are hoping Joe does something, well hope is all you have.
Biden's response to the question, "are you the man" sounded a bit like Trump, did not raise my confidence one bit.
MSNBC's mission is to push right wing, corporate policies to liberals and make them hate the left.
Maybe they should start by removing from the bench anyone who lied to get onto the court. *If you or I lied in a job interview and the boss found out, we would've already been fired in a comparable timeline. Why does it not work that way for Supreme Court Justices? Shouldn't Justices be held to a higher standard of morals and ethics since they sit on the Supreme Court?*
Those confirmation hearing statements cannot be held against the justices because they weren’t made through the judicial process. When Supreme Court justices make a decision, they listen to both sides of the argument, read the briefs, and consult with each other. Those vague statements off the top of their heads during the confirmation hearings are not legally binding and shouldn’t be held against them
We need a better candidate than Biden for '24. Let's start the movement now.
A potato could do better.
Be smart. What's the alternative?
@@tracischmidt8593 someone who would actually fight for the issues that Biden claimed for himself... the policies that won him the election. Progressive principles..
The Biden family has 150 red flagged banking transactions!!!!! Throw them all in jail.
@@MaxMisterC Biden has fought the for policies that he claimed he would tackle but republicans always block everything as usual
Ya just can't argue with Elie. He's awesome 😉 Very intelligent, well read and passionate about what he stands for and LOL he took over that segment! Brilliant! 🤣
PS. Can someone please send this video to Biden. He needs to do everything Elie said! NOW
break the law? When did Congress authorize paying for vacations?
When/if Roe is codified, it should include a sentence saying: "This legislation is not subject to judicial review." Think that's unconstitutional? Chief Justice Roberts has said otherwise (not talking about this issue, mind you, but he's said it.)
Yeah, that's very unconstitutional
That will never happen.
It is the Supreme Court that has given itself the right to review legislation in Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. 137 (1803), just as it has tried to manufacture a doctrine of Original Intent. Neither of these exist in the constitution nor do they exist in common law or the common practices of the day. It should be noted that in other constitutional democracies (such as Canada) their Supreme Court does NOT have a right to constitutional review of legislation.
unconstitutional? consider that scotus has announced that it will hear the repub assertion that state supreme courts cannot review state legislative decisions regarding, in this case, election law.
_Privacy rights_ is actually good framing, because this goes way beyond abortion. This needs to be said over and over again until it sticks.
Daily reminder the pray with people who has cases in front of them
Thank Goodness for Elie, who always brings 💯FACTS, and not afraid to Speak the Truth👏🏾👏🏾
Ellie is an incredibly elegant speaker! You can’t BS him! 👍🇺🇸👍
Yeah,
But to bad he is absolutely ignorant about the American Constitution.👎🏿🤦🏾♂️
@@mananimal3644 You’re a fool
He is also a racist.
@@mananimal3644 You should read it sometime. And its evolution since 1789.
Elie's right!!
Ellie Mystal 2024! I’m in!
I'm with you. We need strength, courage & someone who cares about their constituents more than their donors.
A clown 🤡
I can listen to Eli for hours. He’s right,all of us, clearly knew this day is coming after the death of Justice Ruth!
tRump intalled a judge into the supreme Court that did not even know the five freedoms of the first amendment. What does that tell you?
@@robertweir4735 exactly my friend.
Thank you, Elie Mystal and Katie Phang for a good report.
So this guy hates the veto power the supreme court has but thinks the executive branch should just act like a dictator and give out orders?
This guy has scary ideologies...
I'd argue that privacy rights are exactly the rights that need to be reinforced. That, and abortion as a woman's health care protected under HIPAA.
And HIPAA is not in the constitution
@@Frenite I didn't say it was, but it's a practice currently adhered to and it's important.
@@iamkathyjones It is, but that doesn’t supersede the constitution
I love Eli Mystal! He is brilliant and speaks truth to power. I wish that HE was on the Supreme Court!
Yes Elie, but in order to have done anything in the past 19 months to codify Roe, it has to go through Congress to become law of the land. With obstructionist Senators, in a 50/50 + 1(the VP) divided Senate, that was never going to happen, not with the filibuster in place. It would have taken at least 10 Republicans and all 50 Dems voting to keep Roe in place. So Biden is right, the only way to fix this is VOTE, VOTE, VOTE blue in 2022, only vote once though.
This is exactly what I heard today on NPR. There was a I don't know his name but he's a New York reporter covering for the last 14 years the supreme Court and he made this point that they know that nothing can get done in Congress. The obstruction in our government is breaking down the checks and balances that were supposed to be intact to prevent this sort of thing.
SUSTAINED MY FRIEND! IT REALLY SADENS ME HOW SOOOO MANY AMERICAN'S WANT TO "BLAME PRESIDENT BIDEN", FOR THE GOP OBSTRUCTION THAT PREVENTS BILLS FROM PASSING....THERE ARE 3 BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT....VOTE...LIKE THE PRESIDENT SAID Y'ALL...LOVE AND PEACE TO ALL GENERATIONS!!!!
Laws should be made by politicians, not by judges. Their job is to interpret those laws. Row v Wade should never have been determined by the Supreme Court, whose members are not elected by the people. In fact it was never the law at all.
Elie is always awesome!
Voting is what got YOU in the office; leverage the power you have for the people you work for!!! LoveLove
Elie Mystal and Jesse Dollemore for President and High Priest of the Supreme Court. Intelligence, passion, action.
Elie speaks Truth To Power!! He’s awesome!!
I love how everyone criticizes the Dems like it's a team in a football game. It's like blaming the government when you don't participate in any way to change it. If noone votes, if you don't like that Dems aren't as conniving as GOP or have a major MAINSTREAM propaganda outlet like FOX, then start your own party. Or vote GOP if you want to be on the "winning team" rather than have a conscience.
I'll be voting Dem, in the name of harm reduction. This is in hopes of at least slowing our headlong plunge off the cliff into Fascism.
However. Our government institutions have been moving along the road to corruption for a looooong time. All three branches of government are now on the brink of complete dissolution. Is it We The People's fault? Yes. And no.
Americans are among the most indoctrinated, self-censoring people on Earth. Our Ruling Class has spent a whole nation's worth of energy, time and wealth to program us and keep us bamboozled. They've been quite successful.
What did Biden promise his sponsors? That there would be NO fundamental change. That's what he ran on, that's what we got. Biden is very much a conservative. Meanwhile, change is happening all around us, but the Dem Party Establishment has zero intention of even acknowledging it, much less responding to it.
In case you haven't been paying attention, The Dem Establishment has been working very hard, in partnership with Repubs BTW, for decades to reduce and privatize the social safety net (the which would lead to its dissolution), bring the Federal Government under corporate and bankster control, squash any progressive legislation while eliminating the FDR wing of the Party, slowly but surely undermining government regulation of corporate greed, rapine, predation on The People and the planet. Did any of this agenda originate with We The People? No. It did not.
Meanwhile, as horrific as the Repubs are, Dem Leadership (aka Centrists) still hollers for "Bipartisanship", with our Dem POTUS calling that vicious, conniving leader of the opposition, his honorable friend. Ain't bipartisanship wunnerful?
Nice way to completely miss the obvious point....no one is saying don't vote for Democrats we are saying ACTUALLY use your power ...people are TIRED of excuses ...oh we can't do this because the parliamentarian said no ...another excuse is Manchin and Sinema but I would argue call them out by NAME use your bully pulpit would that work 100% of the time who knows but it would show that you are FIGHTING and in turn would give more credence of getting a larger majority or filibuster proof Senate ...which by the way Obama had for 2 years ...and could have codified Roe but didn't
The fact is whether you want to admit it or not SCHUMER PELOSI AND YES JOE NEED TO GO
@@johnsonsandra8069 Listen up. I'm not sure what point Dave was missing in your fantasy, but Obama did NOT have a filibuster proof Senate for 2 years. Learn before you talk nonsense.
Elie has been bang on with everything lately!
Actually, we knew BEFORE that selfish old lady died, because everyone was BEGGING her to retire so we could make sure to seat a liberal justice! But NOOOOOOOO...She HAD to be selfish and take it with her.
Hindsight is 20/20, right? Selfish old lady? Are you a child???
Omg 😶 I'm am relived to hear this criticism from MSN!
Elie deserves a free vacation too! Thanks for all the best ideas to wake up Biden.
He doesn't work. Look at him. All he does is eat.
Absolutely,send him to free tour of Dunkin donuts!I'm sure it's his life's dream!lardass!
Anybody else notice Elie's kickass dog descend the stairs? 🥰
The 'federal lands' idea has been debunked by an actual lawyer.
Do your research.
People can still be prosecuted even if they perform them on federal lands.
DO...SOME...RESEARCH.
Leftist pride themselves on ignorance
A legal abortion in one State can't suddenly change jurisdiction and be illegal. California can't prosecute out of state crimes, no jurisdiction on Federal or Indian land because not part of State. But can States make unconstitutional laws and jail you if you disobey? check the Bruin decision
Elie Mystal is also a lawyer, and lawyers disagree all the time. That's why we have trials, Sparky.
Sounds like misinformation.
Concise and brutally honest. I like this guy!
