Suit by JB Clothiers: https://jbclothiers.com/btc Transcript 0:00 as if today's Supreme Court ruling wasn't bad enough there was a single section slipped into this immunity decision that will have massive implications for Donald Trump's prosecution in Florida now you'll remember that less than two weeks ago judge Cannon held oral arguments on the motion submitted by Trump to dismiss the Florida classified documents indictment altogether on the grounds that Jack Smith the special counsel was unconstitutionally appointed now let's be clear before today this would have been should have been laughed out of court we have been using special councils in this country since the 1800s the notion that special councils Prosecuting cases is improper is based on quite literally nothing it was invented by the Trump team out of whole cloth which brings me to this part of Justice Clarence Thomas's opinion from today I write separately to highlight another way in which prosecution May violate our constitutional structure in this case the Attorney General purported to appoint a private citizen as special counsel to prosecute a former president on behalf of the United States but I am not sure that any Office of the special Council has has been established by law 1:01 as the Constitution requires in other words if judge Cannon actually grants Trump's absurd motion to dismiss the case on these grounds Thomas has already signaled that if and when it makes its way to the Supreme Court that it would already have a sympathetic Justice in him that is how corrupt judges signal to each other that they're all on board with helping a corrupt criminal defendant in Donald Trump avoid prosecution BR crimes honestly with judges like these who even needs defense attorneys and what's most agreed this issue had nothing to do with the case at hand Donald Trump's attorneys never even brought this issue up in court it wasn't even being litigated this was solely solely because Clarence Thomas saw what was happening in Florida and wanted to send a little signal flare to judge cannon that if she Ops to give Trump the gift of a dismissal in Florida that she'll have at least one vote if not more if and when they appeal inevitably lands in front of the Supreme Court to say this is Clarence Thomas overstepping would be the understatement of the century and that's a point by the 2:00 way that Glenn kersner made in our most recent episode of the legal breakdown you'll remember that that one of the justifications that Donald Trump put forward of bogus on its face justification that he put forward to dismiss the the Florida indictment was this idea that Jack Smith as a special counsel doesn't have a basis to prosecute this case we've used special counsels for well over a hundred years in this country dating back to the 1800s but now Justice Thomas Clarence Thomas has signaled in this Supreme Court ruling that he's actually opposed to that and aligns himself with this uh with this Trump attorney um uh theory that that in fact there is no basis to appoint special councils to prosecute these cases what are the implications going to be down in Florida first of all Brian that had nothing to do with this Supreme Court case right nothing was not an issue involved in this litigation so what you just read was Clarence Thomas 3:01 wearing his corruption his compromise and his conflict on his sleeve announcing to just judge Cannon down in Florida hey I got you why don't you just go ahead and Grant the motion to dismiss because I am of the opinion even though it wasn't part of this litigation that Jack Smith wasn't lawfully appointed you know that in my estimation is the stuff of impeachment of a Supreme Court Justice and mind you Brian he is conflicted he should not have participated in this opinion in any event neither Clarence Thomas nor Justice Alito should have taken part in the immunity case because they are are both conflicted out because you know of their wives conduct and their conduct in support of the insur ction um and the 4:01 federal law not that the Supreme Court Justices seem to care about whether the federal law applies to them but it does and it says a Supreme Court Justice whose impartiality might reasonably be questioned shall disqualify themselves this adds insult to injury to corruption to conflict to outright crime and I think it's the stuff of impeachment well the sad part about that is that obvious obvously impeachment relies on having uh enough members of the House and Senate who are also going to be willing to vote not only for impeachment which requires a simple majority in the house but uh two-thirds of the Senate to be able to actually convict so as of right now this is basically a Fool's errand considering we couldn't even get uh enough Senators to vote for to to convict Donald Trump in the aftermath of the Insurrection while that was still Fresh So the idea that you know these Supreme Court Justices who are just enabling him without such overt action as Donald Trump took on January 6th in the 5:01 aftermath of the Insurrection suggest that we're not going to see any uh any successful impeachment or conviction efforts anytime soon so with that let me just I I actually think this brings us to the Silver Lining and yes I have to close one eye and turn my head just so to find that silver lining today but um when you talk about how impeachment has to start in the house this is yet another reason that the only ones who will save us are us right this has to continue Contin to drive us to the polls yes in numbers too big to rig and too real to steal because the remedy for what alss US is us and US voting out you know but voting the house into the hands of the Democrats obviously making sure Donald Trump doesn't get anywhere near the Oval Office so voting for President Biden and then the other Silver Lining because yeah we're heavy on the gloom and doom today because we have to accurately recount what the Supreme Court just did but here's the other 6:00 Silver Lining the case is now going back to judge Tanya chuin and you know what she gets to do she gets to begin holding hearings and yes you know the prosecutors have had their hands tied behind their back so it may not include all the evidence we would love to see but she does get to hold evidentiary hearings so even though it looks like we won't have a trial in the DC case for Donald Trump trying to overturn the results of the 2020 election we will have public hearings and there will be evidence and there will be Witnesses and 6:33 people will at least begin to see or get 6:36 realtime reports coming out of the 6:38 courtroom of just some of Donald Trump's 6:42 crimes back on and around January 6 to 6:45 try to unlawfully retain the power of 6:48 the presidency and let's hope that information continues to resonate with voters and prove Donald Trump's you know his complete disqualification from ever taking the 7:00 Reigns of federal power again and of course to see full episodes of the legal breakdown please make sure to subscribe to this channel but all of this underscores the point that is at the root of this because frankly while we can't control what the Supreme Court does we are not without agency here if we're worried about the prospect of 7:16 Donald Trump getting into office with 7:17 Newfound immunity to commit criminal 7:19 acts then our job is simple show up 7:22 organize donate door knock spread the 7:24 message become pow workers all to ensure 7:26 that he doesn't win that stuff isn't the 7:28 responsibility of any Court of any 7:30 prosecutor or lawyer or politician 7:32 that's on us don't despair I mean this 7:35 is the time to to to to fight back I 7:38 mean you know despair doesn't get you 7:39 anywhere despair doesn't help save 7:41 democracy right we all need to be more 7:44 determined than ever to protect 7:45 democracy and that starts with making sure you are registered to vote your friends and family are registered to vote that you know you haven't been kicked off the ballot by the right-wing uh uh vote suppressors uh and then make sure you vote and you vote for Democrats up and down the ballot from top to 8:01 Absolute bottom make sure you know the issues if there is a ballot initiative in your state make sure you know about them if you're in a state with a pro-choice ballot initiative make sure you vote for that and everyone needs to speak out you know this is not the time 8:15 to bury your head in the sand this is 8:17 the time to speak out loudly in your 8:19 town square take to Facebook Twitter uh 8:22 uh Instagram uh YouTube uh go to your 8:25 friends your family stand on the street 8:27 corner if you have to and tell them that 8:29 we need to fight for our democracy so if 8:32 you're feeling despairing today find 8:34 that one family member for example of 8:36 yours who doesn't vote and make them 8:37 your responsibility make your pitch if 8:40 they're not moved by the danger posed by 8:41 Trump and his project 2025 agenda then 8:44 point to what's happening at the Supreme 8:45 Court if it's not the court then point 8:47 to Republicans across the country 8:48 stripping away abortion rights 8:50 contraception rights IVF stripping away LGBT rights and putting same-sex marriage on the shopping block there is no shortage of dangerous policies that were risk of having thrust upon us but 9:00 do not give up don't throw your hands up that's what they want do not reward the far-right court and Donald Trump for undermining our democracy get in this fight and do your part I'm not asking everyone to do everything but I am asking everyone to do 9:14 [Music] 9:16 something I've got a really exciting 9:18
