RUSH TRANSCRIPT COLEMAN JR ░░░░░░░░ I want to ask ░░░░░░░░ look into the future ░░░░░░░░ is in front of ░░░░░░░░ Supreme Court There is ░░░░░░░░ conversation that has been ░░░░░░░░ a very long time ░░░░░░░░ improprieties with respect to ░░░░░░░░ relationship that Justice Clarence ░░░░░░░░ has had with the ░░░░░░░░ Party with donors in ░░░░░░░░ Republican Party As well ░░░░░░░░ his wife Ginni Thomas ░░░░░░░░ some of the connections ░░░░░░░░ has had as well ░░░░░░░░ to me about how ░░░░░░░░ conversation plays out regarding ░░░░░░░░ Thomas and whether he ░░░░░░░░ seek to either recuse ░░░░░░░░ or can he be ░░░░░░░░ to roll impartially if ░░░░░░░░ Trump is in front ░░░░░░░░ the court Goldberg I ░░░░░░░░ the answers to both ░░░░░░░░ those questions are no ░░░░░░░░ he should recuse himself ░░░░░░░░ just as obviously he ░░░░░░░░ not going to I ░░░░░░░░ assume that he would ░░░░░░░░ maximum deference to Donald ░░░░░░░░ The only thing that ░░░░░░░░ that assumption is that ░░░░░░░░ you mentioned before when ░░░░░░░░ was this other case ░░░░░░░░ whether he needed to ░░░░░░░░ to a state subpoena ░░░░░░░░ president the Supreme Court ░░░░░░░░ unanimous in saying yes ░░░░░░░░ perhaps there are limits ░░░░░░░░ to Clarence Thomas s ░░░░░░░░ And I certainly think ░░░░░░░░ I cannot imagine that ░░░░░░░░ Roberts who is so ░░░░░░░░ of the reputation of ░░░░░░░░ court which has been ░░░░░░░░ battered that he would ░░░░░░░░ to give a certain ░░░░░░░░ blanche for Donald Trump ░░░░░░░░ commit as many crimes ░░░░░░░░ he wants if he ░░░░░░░░ to win this election ░░░░░░░░ the question to me ░░░░░░░░ it s not really ░░░░░░░░ how they re going ░░░░░░░░ rule on the merits ░░░░░░░░ the case Because the ░░░░░░░░ case is absurd it ░░░░░░░░ a ridiculous argument The ░░░░░░░░ is whether they will ░░░░░░░░ to hear it in ░░░░░░░░ extremely unusual and expedited ░░░░░░░░ so that we can ░░░░░░░░ the March trial date ░░░░░░░░ sort of know before ░░░░░░░░ November election whether or ░░░░░░░░ Donald Trump is a ░░░░░░░░ felon.”
