With the recent radicalization of the Supreme Court, isn't it time to think about ways to add more justices? NY Congressman @MondaireJones tells @mehdirhasan, northing short of court reform "is going to preserve fundamental rights permanently."
.@MehdiRHasan calls out the Biden administration for not supporting expanding the Supreme Court.
"Adjusting the number of justices isn't polarizing... what's radical is what this current court has been doing this entire term."
ICYMI: We haven't heard much from Merrick Garland about January 6, despite the 1/6 panel's undeniable evidence. Was he the right pick to lead the DOJ?
@DougJones, who was on Biden’s shortlist for the AG role, joined @mehdirhasan to discuss that and more: youtube.com/watch?v=ACw-kzOY…
A PBS docuseries starring rapper @mona_haydar and her husband Sebastian is exploring Muslim roots across the U.S.
She tells @mehdirhasan what it’s like to defy the stereotypes of being a Muslim woman in America. Watch:
SCOTUS will hear a case that could hand more power over federal elections to state legislatures. If that’s how the court rules, it would "effectively legalize the coup attempt that Donald Trump made,” @mjs_DC says: “We should be very afraid of what the court will do with it.”
After a series of extreme, unpopular and unprecedented Supreme Court rulings, @mehdirhasan asks: “How will history remember this latest judicial roller coaster?”
“Frankly, history will remember this as the beginning of a conservative revolution,” @mjs_DC says:
On the same day history was made with Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s swearing-in, the Supreme Court issued a mixed bag of rulings, including — surprise! — a victory for Biden.
Will that save SCOTUS' crumbling legitimacy? Let’s not get ahead of ourselves, @mehdirhasan warns:
Former Sen. @DougJones says there’s “compelling evidence” from the January 6th committee that Donald Trump committed crimes against the United States. But, he says, “that is not the same as admissible evidence in a court of law.”
It doesn't take a genius to see the undeniable evidence laid out by the 1/6 panel. And while experts say there's enough to charge Trump with a crime, we aren’t hearing much from Merrick Garland yet.
So, @mehdirhasan asks, is it time to ask whether Biden picked the right AG?
TONIGHT: From a history-making new justice to a groundbreaking ruling limiting the EPA’s power to fight climate change, there’s a lot of Supreme Court news to unpack — and @mjs_DC joins @mehdirhasan to make sense of it all.
Tune in tonight for their convo on @msnbconpeacock.
Was Merrick Garland the right pick to lead the DOJ through this era in our democracy? Or would we have been better with someone who sees how damning a case the 1/6 panel has made?
@DougJones, who was on Biden’s shortlist for the AG role, joins Mehdi tonight on @MSNBConPeacock.
What can be done to counter an increasingly extreme SCOTUS? “Democrats can do a lot of things. They can get their butts out and vote,” @DougJones says.
“But that doesn’t change the Supreme Court," @mehdirhasan says.
Catch their full back-and-forth tonight on @msnbconpeacock.
The not-so-subtle insinuation from the right is that Cassidy Hutchinson’s testimony isn’t credible.
The legal reality is a lot more complicated. msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opin…

Republicans have been falsely claiming that Cassidy Hutchinson's explosive testimony was all secondhand hearsay.
So we at the @MehdiHasanShow put together this mash-up video of everything she saw & heard *firsthand.*
Judge for yourself how damning it is:
“Without a doubt,” Ginni Thomas needs to testify in front of the 1/6 committee, @RinainDC says: “She was using her weight as the ‘best friend’ of a Supreme Court justice trying to get her way.” Watch:
If the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade, expanding gun rights, and eroding the separation of church and state seemed like a lot, buckle up. Because this conservative court isn't done issuing anti-democratic rulings just yet, @mehdirhasan says:
