In a special edition of Meet the Press, Chuck Todd examines the public’s perception of the legitimacy of the Supreme Court where justices are designed to be “impartial referees” between the branches of government.

#SupremeCourt #ChuckTodd #MTP
Their robes should be the color of money or prison wear.
Rober Barons.
They should wear hoodies like that freak Fetterman
He is a successful congressman, and your making anonymous comments from your mothers basement. LoLz
@GeneElder.R27″successful congressman”. He’s a walking vegetable just like your potato Joe. 🤣
I saw the post I think those robes are just as black as the Pope’s and I’m not talking about the color
corrupt…..call it what it is…..corrupt
This was great video. The present Supreme Court is a travesty.
GOP judges are like pr0stitutes.
You have to pay them.
DEMOCRATS DON’T FOLLOW THE LAW
It’s 100% broken. Career politicians will ruin this country, they are all out of touch with the average American. They want to throw money at things that make no sense.
The most illegitimate branch of government
How true Chuck Todd. How true.
Black r lazy
They are like high paid escorts, willing to bend over or bend forwards towards anyone willing to pay
Get rid of political parties, or make at least 60 or 65 votes in the senate in order to confirm.
Sharp as a marble
I know I like the way they run things in the communist countries, one-party and one man in charge. Works out well for them doesn’t it. 🙄
Under the leadership of Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr., today’s supreme court has become a modern-day version of the Gong Show!
Hey, I liked the gong show.
In the first 10 yrs of the Supreme Court (circa 1790-1801) the justices did wear colored robes (red or white), Chief Justice Marshal demanded the black robe to signal neutrality-some fashions seem to return. “John Marshall introduced black judicial robes to represent republican simplicity. The choice contrasted with the scarlet and/or ermine (white) robes worn by British judges and by state court judges. In 1801, during the first session of the Marshall Court, the newly appointed Chief Justice wore this plain black robe while his fellow justices wore red. By the next year’s session, all sitting justices followed Marshall’s example.” https://virginiahistory.org/learn/john-marshalls-robe
Illegitimate SCOTUS.
Every ruling is jeopardized
since the bribery.
That’s how it works in lower courts, when compromised.
And green money free from donors lol very sad
No longer as Conservative as possible, it’s as Corrupt as possible.
We the People should be voting for Supreme Court Justices.
Absolutely not. What could do more to destroy the appearance of political influence on their judgements than that?
as long as they don’t turn rainbow we aren’t completely doomed.
politics is everywhere, corruption is everywhere.
this is just normal, they get appointed by certain parties, regardless of everything else, there will be biases.
but as a bi guy,im ashamed to admit it,not because i fesr family or friends, i trust them.
im terrified of being accepted and included in the alphabet soup agenda group, and that nonsense absolutely repulses me.
I’d hate to be associated with these creepy, million gendered morons who love to indoctrinate and groom children and shove their nonsense upon everyone everywhere.
we aren’t special, we’re just people, please stop pampering us, id rather be alone and dead than be close to the lgbt whatever letters.
lgb all the way,keep it natural, no mutilation and delusions, no grooming children and destroying their futures.
You forgot to mention how the press has been calling it a left leaning or right leaning court. Right now the press is going after Thomas and his wife. Doesn’t matter if they are innocent or guilty, they are conservative, that’s all that matters. The court is as much of the rest of the government and the press plus helping that mess
I’d say red or black
There is no “both sides” here, the republicans install extreme conservative activists judges who make ideological and religious decisions, while democrats nominate judicial judges who apply the law and precedent. Chuck is a hack and paid to be a hack, so i guess he is successful at being a hack. Congrats.
Evil blood runs through the fabric of our Supreme American presence.
😿🙀
You are ignorant
This story wouldn’t exist if it were six liberal appointees – move along now, nothing to see here.
True because six liberal appointees wouldn’t be eroding decades of legal precedent for political purposes.
More propaganda
Black may feel inexpressive for today’s need of expression of one’s “color” (goes with ego). Besides, black’s known to be a rigorous, even pompous color, nothing popular… or appealing. Wars & conflicts too have colorful basis. No ego would let our “color” go inexpressed, proving we all have them & struggle mediating in order to express our remaining common sense.
🤪
They’ve been red for a long time before now Chuck
I liked the black robes.
6 corporate socialist extremists sit in the supreme court. Remember socialism is only good if it’s for millionaires and billionaires and corporations
Their robes are green
Almost as if every member of the court is a liar and will say whatever is right for the moment,the court is now political .
People were told to come out and vote in 2016. The bernie babies stayed home. This is what you get.
Good Old Uncle Thomas morphs into Simon Legree pretty much every time.
Nothing like some casual racism to make people like you
America is a joke.
Another example of Republicans causing problems for the rest of us!
The Federalist Society, the Judicial Crisis Network and 10 or so other shadow organizations are all billionaire funded to serve their interests. Do you think they care about whether we think they are legitimate or not.
The supreme court is a joke now as corrupt as corrupt can be.
Now that we know they take bribes and are corrupt what are we going to do to reform it?
They need to be removed they have brought nothing but Disrespect to our Court System. And our County. No judge should have a life time job.
Such a turdish club.
Thomas has knee pads on under his robe.
The judicial system is owned by the corporations just like they were once owned by the mafia
Theyve always been red and blue. Lets stop being naive. How do you think Roe was overturned?
TOO MUCH CORRUPTION in the courts. GET RID OF THOMAS and others that hid behind their robe.
The Federalist Society and Leonard Leo are a threat to our Democracy.
🦆💨
The Federalist Society will eventually turn us in to the handmaidens tale.
Not both parties just one party. And we all know who the bad actors are.
He’s so afraid to say it. He’s so scared of Republicans
Lol
The inferior court should be ignored until they gey they’re sheet together.
Chuck Todd is a leftist hack. “Journalist” doesn’t even apply to him or nbc.
and this story did exactly what it was expected to do, divide us yet further
They seem to be more Red than Blue! Turn America Blue in 24!
you can’t see the court move to the left, and you can only allow the court staying right!!! you can see where the nonsense goes…
Stop both siding the issue. One party nominates corrupt people and the other party is the democrats. Corporate media supports Republicans favoring corporations over people, full stop. That’s the only reason they aren’t more truthful on the issues. Don’t forget that.
Judging from the comments it looks like the lefties are a little butthurt that the Supreme Court has following the Constitution. Don’t worry, when the marxists are finished you won’t recognize America anymore that should make you all happy. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Who cares they killing each other
Black people don’t get a education wa u mean they lazy n want repuation money 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🎉 facts💯
They should be prison orange. Most corrupt Supreme Court in history. Can’t be trusted to render an unbiased opinion.
The American public is losing faith and belief in the legitimacy of a rotten corrupt Supreme Court that has compromised justices rendering biased opinions. Thomas has accepted bribes for 20 years, and Sotomayor didn’t recuse herself from a case involving her book publisher that paid her millions. There’s no mechanism in place to hold them accountable for corruption. Why not??
Biden and the liberals tried to force everyone in America who worked for a comp with more than 100 employees to get forcibly vaccinated or lose their jobs. The conservative Supreme Court shot that down.
The Supreme Court has ALWAYS been political. Where have you been?
Everyone has political views. But the extremism by the six extremist Republican appointees is unprecedented. They overturned HALF A CENTURY of FREEDOM, privacy and choice for American citizens. No previous court ever did that. And having five illegitimate extremist Republican appointees, who were appointed by “presidents” who initially or totally lost the popular vote means these politicians in robes have no standing.
Most Americans couldn’t answer basic constitutional or ethical questions and put together a meaningful response
so who cares what they think
and why should they each have a vote
?
History will view Mitch McConnell as the man who broke the Senate.
Yes cause we can trust Chuck Todd for honest and objective journalism. They’ve turned NBC, Fox, MSNBC, and CNN into absolute jokes. No one believes you anymore
Roe was judicial activism. Nothing in the text, history or writings of the founders mentions or even implies that abortion is a right. Our constitution gives the legislature power to legislate, not administrative agencies.
@tony84 you do not have a constitutional right to an abortion. If you want that right, you go to the legislative branch, not the judiciary.
@Tyler Nixon You have the constitutional right as a free American citizen to choose what to do with your own body. Does the constitution tell you what you can or cannot do with your own body? Also, for those of us who believe in the Lord, which I do, the Lord says in the Bible the He is the ultimate Judge. Doesn’t a free individual have the right to discuss and pray to the Lord, in privacy and make a decision without government interference?
No one in America has the right to tell another American citizen, another human being what they can or cannot do with their own body! That is extremism, even communism! It’s UN-AMERICAN!
@tony84 The constitution makes no mention of it. So no.
@Tyler Nixon Do you believe in the Lord? Do you believe that the Lord is the ultimate Judge? If you do have those beliefs, as I do, then you allow woman the freedom and privacy to make their decision. Those who want to take freedom, privacy, and choice away from the woman of America, or ANY American citizen DO NOT believe in the Lord.
This SUPREME COURT JUSTICES THAT WE HAVE NOW 6 OUT OF 9,ARE IDIOTS..LOOK AT little clarence thomas ,john roberts, gorsuch, kavanagh, alito and a few more .AIN’T NOTHING BUT LIARS ,IDIOTS, CROOKS THERE ARE TWO IN PARTICULAR THAT SHOULD HAVE NOT EVER BEEN ELECTED JUSTICES..THEY ARE LIKE TRUMP GRAB THEM BY THERE ,,,,,,,,AND NOW THE IDIOTS THINKS THAT THEY CAN DO IT…..
Good old “both sides” Chuck Todd, still terrible at his job. Why is he still there?
Bush stole that election, shame on republicans!
vote them all out!
💯We have five ILLEGITIMATE “justices” on the Supreme “court” appointed by “presidents” who initially or totally lost the popular vote. Roberts, Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett are ALL ILLEGITIMATE. They do not have the will, honor, standing, or backing of the American people.
Job 9
They cover the faces of judges to make their own laws, the earth is ruled by the wicked but only for a times time…
2 Thessalonians 2
Because they have no love for the truth Father God gives them over to debased mindsets and therefore is the reason that the ways of wickedness deceives those who are perishing, they perish because they refused to love truth which is saved for the saved who love truth…

Republicans try to destroy our government every day.
Said the voice of a very uninformed person … Democratic Communism is intent on destruction of our country ..
I know some people will disagree with what I’m about to say, but that’s okay, part of the problem in our country is not just our elected officials but it’s also our fellow Americans who elect them because they to line up with this ideology that hurts their fellow Americans. Until there are ideologies or an ideology; (aka, Mutual thought processes,) that make it possible for us to have a mutual respect for one another as humans and US citizens together in this endeavor, we will always be divided as a nation.
Good point. But in 2023 and 2024 extremism will once and for all be defeated. We are not an extremist nation.
The Federalist Society is the shadow Government
And thus ended America
The new GGOP (genetic grand old party).
If there are 13 districts, then there should be 13 Judges.
Chuck Todd because democrats don’t get what they want you think our system is broken! Chuck Todd your the worse political analyst who has lost their way in politics! Democrats are nothing but a huge problem and Chuck Todd your a part of the problem not the solution! Chuck Todd your not very good at hiding your bias!
Chuck Todd the Problem!
Bork was dirty!
The Tone of your voice Chuck Todd is your enemy! You sound like you know better but you don’t because Bork was before your time! Chuck Todd you have not lived long enough to know true politics American Style! So Chuck just shut up!
Chuck Todd your Christian believers prayed without ceasing for the SCOTUS to be conservative judges and Chuck Todd president Trump had nothing to do with judges being elected to the supreme courts okay Chuck Todd your WRONG AGAIN!
TODD ….THE VOICE OF THE COMMUNIST DEMOCRATIC PARTY …!SHOULD BE THE FIRST TO BE SUED FOR ABSOLUTE LIES AND MISINFORMATION …
THIS MAN IS THE PICTURE DECIET AND LIES..
Todd should be in a prison for lies !!!!
Dirty bench
Want cheese with that whine, Chuckie? You and I know that the Democrats wanted desperately to stack the court with liberal judges so they could legislate from the bench. But Hillary was your girl. Own it. Embrace it. Get over it.
The sc are everything wrong with American law. Thank goodness for Merrick Garland ❤
Substitute so you won’t cover Biden corruption
2:31 Not so stunning when you consider that no Democrat president nominated anyone while the senate was in Republican control for over 120 years after. 🙄
That’s sad how supreme Court is broken they need to be replaced Justice maddest in the United States of America they took a oath to protect that’s sad
NO. Don’t equate both sides. The robes are Red and Black.. ONE SIDE ISNT PLAYING BY THE RULES YOU PURPOSEFUL IDIOTS.
Not even a nod towards the grifters; Thomas, Gorsuch, and Roberts? Poor reporting.
They always been partisan more people know now
Red, the color of blood, and the blood shed that follows it.
So…. Let’s make it all red
It’s been like that for a long time
we should make trump chief justice, he will make the supreme court great again
the dishonesty in packing the court with partisan “justices”
is despicable or maybe anti-American?
