Thank you all to joining me at home for joining me this hour. I am not Ari Melver. I am Alex Wagner. This is the beginning of a two hour rock block.

Thick with news. We begin here. It is a moment that you are forgiven if you don't remember it or if you missed it at the time. A lot happened on this day.

But at his speech before the insurrection on January 6th, President Trump had

a lot to say about bias on the Supreme Court.

You know, look, I'm not happy with the Supreme Court.

They love to rule against me.

And the Supreme Court, they rule against me so much.

You know why?

Because the story is, I haven't spoken to any of them, any of them, since virtually they got in. But the story is that they're my puppet, right? That they're puppets and now that the only way they can get

out of that because they hate that it's not good on the social circuit and the only way

they get out is to rule against Trump so let's rule against Trump and they do that.

Now in reality, the current Supreme Court

is one of the most conservative courts in modern history.

They are the court that overturned Roe

and ended affirmative action, all practically speaking

it gave a Citizens United. Conservatives dominate this bench, 6 to 3. But Donald Trump is not completely wrong in his complaint that the court has ruled against him.

This court does have a history of ruling against Trump in his personal capacity.

The court let prosecutors in New York gain access to his financial records.

It declined to hear Trump's bogus 2020 election challenges.

It rejected Trump's attempt to withhold documents from the House January 6th Committee.

It allowed the House Ways and Means Committee to obtain Trump's tax returns,

and it declined Trump's attempt to have the court intervene in the Marilago documents case.
