Murder, coup, bribery: Trump team stands by extreme hypotheticals in Supreme Court immunity case

Rachel Maddow recaps the day's arguments before the Supreme Court on "presidential immunity" and the lengths to which justices devoted to Donald Trump and the Republican Party went to accommodate Trump's audacious argument that he should be impervious from prosecution for his role in the January 6 insurrection.

As a non American, observing what is happening to America and it's constitution, especially those who should have no doubt as to what is lawful or not, I see nothing but a disgraceful sham.

Mitch McConnell could have stopped this, and didn’t. His legacy. He must be so proud of what his Grand Old Party has become under his watch.
Reptile that he is. 🐢

[MREWOKONE]

THIS supreme court is an absolute EMBARRASSMENT. SHAMEFUL.

[mgage]

I don’t think that we can trust the Supreme Court anymore

[KnialPiper]

Vote. We can’t count on anyone. We have to vote.

[justinarchiquette]

What's the point of law school, if you make arguments like this in the "supreme" court?

[rrr]

our country has gone completely and totally off the deep end of insanity . its like a sci-fi movie of an alternate earth, where up is down, and right is wrong

[whenwedecay]

The fact that the Supreme Court is entertaining this insanity is incredible

[ricalina]

It‘s mindblowing that this degree of moral corruption gets this amount of „serious“ consideration.

[chrisbabaero]

USA. Your justice system used to be admired and looked up to by the world.
Today it is a joke 😔😔😔

[cheriewolfsen]

How can this Supreme Court EVER be taken seriously again? Shameful!

[dennisbeaver]

Another excellent analysis Rachel! This whole situation is just sickening!

[JD-wwnl]

It’s unbelievable how far and wide this corruption goes. All the way to the very top legal authorities in the country… It’s shameful.

[katecopplestone]

lt's staggering that such a cheap conman could bring America to it's knees. Utter madness!

[MMPuppyDog]

Can the supreme court be held accountable for their dishonesty?

[HawthorneHillNaturePreserve]

I thought the whole point was to have checks and balances on each branch, which seem to be absent

[thatguyjoe]

Wasn't the whole point that the president wasn't a monarch. No truer statement...

[CMusica]

This is scary, Americans be very scared of what you are hearing.

[quemiqv]

50 years ago if somebody would tell us all these crap was going to take place. We would think it was impossibly crazy. Yet today it is for real thanks to one despicable madman.

Rachel, you are so very talented. Your broadcasts are thoughtful and intelligent. Your voice inflections give meaning to the facts you are reporting. History has been reflected through you in your writing. And You will be reflected in history.
