states supreme court after making clarence thomas an offer he can't refuse, to retire for the court for plush retirement in the lap of luxury financed by billionaires. judge cannon issued an order at 6:27 p.m. about possible jury instructions and a cased charging donald trump with violations of the espionage act for his illegal possession of classified documents and other government documents owned by the united states government. in that order, george cannon reveals that she is considering a possible jury instruction that would require the jury to find donald trump not guilty because that jury instruction would say, quote, a president has sole authority under the presidential records act, to categorize records as personal or presidential during his or her presidency. an outgoing president's decision to exclude what he/she considers to be personal records from presidential records transmitted to the national archives and records administration constitutes a presidents categorization of those records is personal under

judge cannon knows that her future as a trump appointee to the united states supreme court depends on how she handles this case and what voters do on election day. so far she has been handling this case in every way she possibly could to please donald trump. if donald trump wins the presidency again, he would truly approach clarence thomas with an offer he could not refuse. leave the supreme court so donald trump can replace him with a younger conservative like judge cannon. clarence thomas gets a beautiful brand-new custom-built to his specifications, motorhome. the most expensive one in the world. complete with goldplated trump style faucets. as much private travel as clarence thomas could possibly want on donald trump's private planes and other corporate private planes and massive amounts of money for republican beginners who will put clarence thomas on their boards. that offer, almost as specific as that, was floating right there in the air. in the room between donald trump and judge cannon. right there were anyone with an understanding of donald trump could see it. very much incl

he was president of the united states and after he was president of the united states. the trump brief begins with this lie. a denial of criminal immunity would incapacitate every future president with de facto blackmail and extortion while in office, and condemn him to years of post-office trauma at the hands of the political opponents. the trump brief does not explain why that has never happened in the entire 235-year history of the american presidency. when no one in the presidency or in the american criminal justice system ever believed that a former president could not be prosecuted for crimes. everyone in the criminal justice system and in the country believed that richard nixon could be prosecuted for crimes, that he committed while he was president. and president gerald ford who took office after they resigned is absolutely certain that the justice department would definitely prosecute richard nixon for crimes committed while nixon was president, which is why president ford pardoned richard nixon in 1974. in the eight presidents from nixon to trump, every one of

it is the supreme court of the united states. all they have had to do was affirm the decision of the colorado court, saying there is ample evidence here in a trial which was fully fair and applied constitutionally appropriate standards, ample evidence to disqualify this oath breaking insurrectionist. in other words, they could've gone in either of two directions and there's only one possible region reason for going in the direction they did. that was that they were doing a favor to both breaking insurrectionists, in particular, one donald de trump. that is not the way a court should behave! yes, 100 years now, that is still going to be a lesson in how court should not decide cases. it will be a lesson in how a court by a 5 to 4 decision can fundamentally destroy the constitution's deliberate protection against office holding by oath breaking insurrectionists. >> i can only imagine harvard law school students eyes widening 100 years from now and you have years from now when they read this case. professor laurence tribe, thank you

law school was not invented until 28 years after the united states supreme court opened for business. lawyers became lawyers the same way like smith speaking laxness -- blacksmiths became blacksmiths. you train as an assistant and eventually could go into business yourself. abraham lincoln who never even went to elementary school was entirely self educated. he read law books and got some training in the law office in illinois and eventually became a very good lawyer. the last supreme court justice who did not go to law school was jimmy burns. he went from being a south carolina senator to the supreme court. in 1941 he was, of course, confirmed unanimously without even having a judiciary committee confirmation hearing as was the custom in those days. in fact, he was confirmed by the senate on the same day that the senate received his nomination from the president. he was the last of the no law school supreme court justices. since then, harvard and yale law school graduates have come to dominate the supreme court and the rest of the federal judiciary. now federal judges are supposed to

i think there is no chance the united states supreme court will side with trump on absolute immunity. but the court by having such a delayed schedule gave donald trump what he wants which is a very realistic possibility. he can delay the case past the election. that is basically what cannon has done here, too. kicking the can down the road. lawrence, she had a full day hearing about these two legal issues, thoroughly absurd. the only thing donald trump's arguments merit is an eye roll and a swift denial and not this kind of belabored one day hearing in the like. and every time she has these hearings, it delays the day of reckoning for donald trump which is all he wants because if he can stretch this past the election, he can order the justice department to drop this prosecution. >> and given the history of the espionage act and the use of it in criminal cases, has this ever been raised before that it is too vague to use in prosecution? >> every single criminal defendant who has ever been prosecuted all brings the same motion that it is unconstitutional, it is too vague. it can't be ap

this case didn't belong in the united states supreme court. it was a dead loser every day of every week. it was just because of some rather extreme rulings by some judges that forced this case to go up to the supreme court. and as ms. ellsworth said, retracted studies. this was not the way federal judges ordinarily behave. and so it was dismaying and i think the most important worry about a case like this is that if it did go forward, then it is, if it is mifepristone today, it could be who knows what drug tomorrow. that is not a way to run the government or a society. >> we didn't cherry pick those quotes that we showed you at the beginning of the segment. there did seem to be broad skepticism across the political spectrum from a number of the justices about both the merits of the case and the process. by which it was brought to the supreme court. and the standing. >> that is exactly right. i have seen more than 500 cases there at the court. normally, it is difficult to tell what the justices are going to do. sometimes it is pretty easy. obvi
