It’s time for term limits for the justices on the Supreme Court!

I wish the full segment was posted here. Rachel is masterful at concatenating reporting.

I was disappointed that the connective tissues of these issues was never identified and discussed. Fundamentally, Roe was about a right to privacy, that a medical decision is a private decision between a woman and her doctor. The right to marry who you choose to love is also a private decision. The decision to use birth control and to enjoy consensual relations within the privacy of your own bedroom, those decisions are also about privacy. Ripping apart the right to privacy has far reaching impacts. Now Gov Abbott makes your most private decisions.

I don't believe that the press is hard Enough on him. You are right, that's what they should have come out with and instead of the nonsense that they did. Shame on the press for not pursuing this.

My daughter took out college loans. They turned out to be predatory and she is still paying after many years, with years to go. She was young and was taken advantage of. Now she is paying for it. These lenders were criminal in their actions.

One topic I have never seen addressed when talking about abortion is, what happens to the unwanted babies? Just think. Country after country have over grown orphanages and children's homes resulting with kids raising kids starving on the streets. Our government for far too long has not gotten a handle on homelessness . If anything its growing. Women who can't abort, can't take care of these babies and there will be no government help available. No food, no housing no medical care. Especially if repugs keep control. These babies/children will be the new homeless population. A large number of this population will be sick or dying and they will be thrown onto the streets just like what they did to our vets. As Americans, can you live with that. That's the reality folks and it will get far worse if we don't vote out anyone who is against women's rights/children's rights. VOTE BLUE!

Birds of a feather etc.
All these words of wisdom from our elders apply.

It’s shocking how much Crime he gets away with!

[kennethwise]

This should be considered contempt of court, and have Qrump should be in jail, or prison!

[karengarrison]

You nailed it Rachel! I was feeling the same confusion and disappointment about the headlines and reporting on that speech

[mynameisworld]

They LIED to the judge in court. Pretty sure that's illegal.

[LuckyBoyNelson]

Well said Rachel 👏 The reporting on Trump almost always parses his insane words into something resembling a normal statement. It's wrong, dangerous, and infuriates me beyond words

[searchandsave]

It never ceases to amaze how dishonest and crooked Trump is and how good people continually fall for his manipulations. How is it possible the courts fell his claim of lack of access to a bond?
I blame the courts and our justice system for enabling people like him.

[mellowyellowmom]

Why did the court lower the amount Trump needed anyway? He should be in jail like any other American would be! It’s unbelievable, honestly. He’s not above the law!

[bobheide]

Rachel, please tell CNN to stop showing trumps face so much. It's sickening. thanks.

[Ossi-]

How is this even legal: Charging 90% interest rates to businesses?

[gillainey]

When are people going to clue in that his business ventures are not to make money but to take it out of the pockets of anyone stupid enough to repeatedly invest in these ventures.

[RobertJohnson-gkgj]

Lv ya Rachel, we all had missed you in your time away. Please keep up your great work to save our country & democracy!and keeping us in the light of truth! There is no one that can take MSNBC you were my first favorite that got me watching, but I love all of you! You get my Ed Marrow award

[LWfanboy]

If only Alito had been able to get a prom date. We wouldn't be where we are now.

[patmcgovern]

Wait....trump told the court that he was rich and had at least $500 million in the bank. Was he lying to the court?
