ATTN: This is most important court hearing to watch next week. The GOP does not want this case in federal court because they know a federal judge is not likely to toss out 60,000 lawful votes. Their plan is to have the partisan NC state Supreme Court decide. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Padilla: Will you defend birthright citizenship as the law of the land?
Bondi: I will study birthright citizenship

The morning show hosts doth protest too much, methinks. Joe & Mika know they are in deep shit with their audience and keep trying to dig themselves out: Well, Obama talked to him. Everybody else at the table tries to remind them Trump is not civil. Joe keeps interrupting.
