SCOTUS is “not a conservative court, what it is is a captured court" @SenWhitehouse tells @mehdirhasan. "Very often…they actually break conservative judicial principles to get to the outcome that they want, which aligns perfectly w/ the interests of big Republican donor groups.”

If the GOP hadn’t run so many Trumpy candidates, Democrats would've had fewer wins in the midterms, @SenWhitehouse says.
He tells @mehdirhasan, “We need to examine what the baseline would look like for our party had the Republicans chosen less defective candidates.”

Sen. Raphael Warnock’s win in GA's Senate runoff gives Dems a 51-49 Senate majority — and the ability to confirm federal judges at a much faster pace.
But, @mehdirhasan says, let’s not forget how dark money has given the GOP—and their often-unqualified judges—a big head start.

SCOTUS heard oral arguments today in a case on voting rights. At the center of the argument: the once-fringe ‘independent state legislature theory.’
So, what was said and why does it matter? @ProfMMurray joins @mehdirhasan to help parse through it all. Watch on @MSNBConPeacock.

Raphael Warnock’s Senate win in Georgia gives Democrats a clear Senate majority — and it clears the way for Biden to continue appointing federal judges.

.@mehdirhasan pushes @SenWhitehouse on his stance on expanding SCOTUS: "Are you there yet?"
"You will have more flexibility...once people have an accurate and fair understanding of exactly what the hell went wrong over there," he says.
Watch their convo on @MSNBConPeacock.

Tucker Carlson just can’t stop talking about Hunter Biden’s emails. But, @mehdirhasan says, there’s one particular message among them that the Fox host isn’t mentioning: His *own* email to the now-president’s son.

It’s the crisis at the border that Republicans don’t want to talk about: the scandal-ridden Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency.
So, @mehdirhasan asks, why aren’t Democrats hammering the GOP over what *they’re* prepared to do about it come 2023?

The family of Brian Sicknick, the Capitol Police Officer who died on 1/6, wouldn't shake hands w/ GOP leaders at the Congressional Gold Medal ceremony.
@mehdirhasan: “Mitch McConnell, for some reason, thought they'd forget...he’s done nothing...to hold [Trump] accountable.”

Justice Samuel Alito garnered severe backlash online after joking about Black Santa and children in KKK robes during Supreme Court arguments this week.
@ElieNYC’s take: “Alito is basically a 4chan troll that’s been given a lifetime appointment.” WATCH:

It's not hyperbole to say Moore v. Harper is a major threat to democracy, @mjs_DC says.
“There’s no clear reason why…lower courts are not going to stretch this as far as they can to help Republicans,” he adds. “This really is an existential threat to the way we run elections.”

It's the single most important case on American democracy ever, and it's coming before SCOTUS on Wednesday. And it could potentially upend federal elections as we know them.

The biggest case you might not have heard of is coming before SCOTUS this week, and it could decide the fate of American democracy. No, that's not hyperbolic — take @mjs_DC's word for it.
He and @ElieNYC join @mehdirhasan to discuss — be sure to watch on @MSNBConPeacock.

Donald Trump’s response to the 'Twitter Files'? "Suspend the Constitution." Republicans’ response to Trump? Crickets.
@mehdirhasan: “If you cannot bring yourself to not just condemn these remarks from Trump, but disown Trump himself, you … are violating your oath of office.”

A FL county prosecutor is getting his day in court over GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis's authoritarian decision to fire him for being “woke."
“That is who [he] is,” @bjoewolf says. “He’s no friend to democracy, he’s certainly no friend to Florida and … he’s no friend to the country.”

We’ve all heard Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis obsess over one word: "woke." But @mehdirhasan hates to break it to you, Mr. Governor: Based on your own definition, most of the country is "woke," and it's time you got with the program. WATCH:

“If Elon wants transparency, that sounds great,” @karaswisher says — but that means practicing what he preaches.
"You know I love an internal memo like nobody’s business,” she tells @mehdirhasan. “It’s important, if he’s really talking transparency, to see every conversation."

The ‘Twitter Files’ show Elon Musk doesn't understand the First Amendment as it relates to his *private* company.
"He’s the government of Twitter," @karaswisher tells @mehdirhasan. "And so there’s no First Amendment at Twitter — it’s just the Elon amendment."
