Elie Mystal and MSNBC’s Velshi Discuss SCOTUS Ruling: Imagine Donald Trump Wants to Murder You ...

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
Velshi: “Walk me through why you see this ruling as deeply dangerous, not for people who are birthright citizens, but much more broadly for every American.”

MYSTAL: “Imagine Donald Trump wants to do something illegal to you, Ali Velshi imagine that he wants to murder you. Imagine that he and Stephen Miller released an entire policy explaining about how they can murder Canadian journalists who are working in America because they’re taking the jobs from real American journalists. Right. So he’s going to murder you. So you. Ali Velshi, you go to court. You go to court in the Southern District of New York. And you say, like, I don’t, I don’t I don’t think this murder thing is constitutional. It’s clearly illegal. It’s clearly constitutional. Donald Trump and Pam Bondi and Stephen Miller shouldn’t be able to have a plan to murder me. And the court says, you’re right, Ali Velshi. There’s no way Donald Trump is allowed to murder you. We’re going to have an injunction. We’re going to stay the executive order saying that he’s going to murder Canadian journalists. And so you’re like, great, awesome. And you go home and then Pat Kiernan shows up and he’s like, what about me? I’m also a Canadian. Ashleigh Banfield shows up. I’m also Canadian. What about me? And the courts? Well, I can’t help you because Ali Velshi is the one who sued. So Pat Kiernan, if you don’t want to be murdered, you have to launch your entire own lawsuit in the Southern District of New York again, to make sure that Donald Trump doesn’t murder you. And while the Supreme Court is deciding who the Ali Velshi can’t be murdered injunction applies to, guess what? Donald Trump starts murdering people. That is the upshot of yesterday’s decision. Donald Trump has declared that he is going to do an unconstitutional thing, and various people have been able to secure the courts order that he cannot do the unconstitutional thing to them. And basically, what the Supreme Court has said is that, well, you said something about Jimmy, but you didn’t say anything about consuela. So we’re going to deport consuela. While the Supreme Court figures it out, that is what the court said, and I appreciate that.”
