McKay Coppins, Lisa Rubin, and Hans Nichols join Stephanie Ruhle to discuss.

  • People should be voting for the guy who sacrificed his wealth for his country, not the guy who sacrificed his country for his wealth
  • It would be a disaster to have Trump back in the White House !!! 😡😈he is evil personified !!
  • @laurawestenra
    What has happened with the supreme court is beyond sinister. I'm losing sleep over it.
  • @wanderer0617
    There's so much trauma inflicted on our country over the last 8 years 😭
  • I grew up during the cold war and nuclear war hanging over our heads... especially since I grew up on military bases. But I find what is going on now more of a worry than that time period. In the last few years there has been more of a threat to our country from our own politicians and court than from Russia and China combined.

    So tired of having YouTube censor my comments… YouTube is a horrible place to have discussions

    Americans think about what you are about to do. Your choice in November may give you your first king and democracy will disappear your choice

    Not interested in a stupid debate after what the Supreme Court just did. Biden Harris 2024!
  • Now we can have real conversations about the statements, "justice is blind, no one is above the law, the law is objective..." SCOTUS has no concern for the rule of law. We weren't crazy.

    Fun Facts The best-known power of the Supreme Court is judicial review, or the ability of the Court to declare a Legislative or Executive act in violation of the Constitution --- is not found within the text of the Constitution itself. The Court established this doctrine in the case of Marbury v. Madison (1803) The Court just gave themselves the power Yet writing for the Court in Dobbs, Justice Alito described Roe as “egregiously wrong from the start” because the Constitution makes no mention or reference to abortion. The Constitution makes no mention to judicial review either They just make it up to suit their donors needs even if it takes away an Americans rights
  • I haven't seen a more recent soundbite from McConnell yet about his statement against Trump's impeachment in 2021, can we get one of those, please?
  • Shame on those Trump judges. They are supposed to uphold their oath to uphold the law and the constitution for which it stands, not undermine it.
  • @guinsey
    If Donald fails Putin and doesn't win he better stay away from windows and have Eric taste his food.
  • @o0322
    To the fools who are dying to establish a dictatorship,start saving for the time when wanting to flee,like venezuelans.
  • Putin must be watching this on an endless loop, and smiling and laughing too, and perhaps even pointing, he did it.
  • Why are we applying the rule of immunity to only a presidential candidate, and not to/for the current President?!?
