CHUCK TODD: come back, Supreme Court damaged reputation official ethical standards? I'll talk two former Supreme Court clerks, Andrew Crespo Jennifer Mascott. CHUCK TODD: Welcome back. tradition Supreme Court justices sharply different legal views dinner party friends, opera companions, words get along. leak Dobbs decision last year, tensions Court broken open. According reporters, including Nina Totenberg, join us later hour, atmosphere behind scenes ugly one source put “the place sounds like imploding.” Justice Samuel Alito recently told partisan defenders Wall Street Journal, leak, quote, “made us targets assassination,” saying “I personally pretty good idea responsible.” Justice Clarence Thomas complained “you begin look shoulder.” Justice Sonia Sotomayor said felt “shellshocked” overturning Roe quote “sense despair” direction court. Tuesday, Chief Justice John Roberts addressed public questions acrimony concerns Court’s ethics accepting award. [START TAPE] CHIEF JUSTICE JOHN ROBERTS: want assure people committed making certain we, court, adhere highest standards conduct. continuing look things give practical effect commitment confident ways consistent status independent branch government constitution’s separation powers. [END TAPE] CHUCK TODD: joining two former Supreme Court Clerks. Jennifer Mascott assistant law professor George Mason University. clerked Justice Kavanaugh D.C. Circuit Justice Thomas Supreme Court, Andrew Crespo professor Harvard Law School. clerked Justices Kagan Breyer. Jennifer Andrew, welcome Meet Press. Let start leak Bush v. Gore Andrew seem create personal divisions Court way leak Dobbs did. What's sense what's going behind scenes? ANDREW CRESPO: know what, Chuck? remember, investigation leak. Right? think investigation – I’m pretty sure 20 page report – told us three pretty important things. First, report seems make clear leak come law clerk court employee. Right? investigation done experienced criminal investigators. reviewed Secretary – former Secretary Homeland Security, looked forensic cell phone records asked every employee law clerk access opinion swear oath, exposing potential prison term penalty perjury – leaker, know was. basically ruled Court employees law clerks. crucially, is, think, second really important thing investigation highlights us. report able rule whether leak came justices people access opinion investigated within the, within leak investigation justices, Court look justices investigation. think shows us really third important thing learned this. leak investigation one example now, string many, we're seeing Supreme Court justices basically view law, subject rules everyone else, whether that's leak investigation, whether accepting potentially millions dollars gifts without disclose it, whether refusing adopt ethics code, refusing even engage Congress question. court tells everyone else cannot do, tells Congress can't regulate guns, tells president can't anything climate change, tells women bodies, says everyone else, “Don't dare try suggest follow rules ourselves.” CHUCK TODD: Jennifer, what's sense leak done trust nine? JENNIFER MASCOTT: Well, tell last year time, talking right leak, standpoint, last year, actually reconfirmed faith Supreme Court institution, think nine justices taken incredible amount attack vitriol outside. We've assassination attempts, quite frankly, Dobbs opinion, handed down, almost precisely leak made. – CHUCK TODD: matter? JENNIFER MASCOTT: Well, think shows justices fidelity principle. let attacks, threats attempt change outcome impact – CHUCK TODD: changed – JENNIFER MASCOTT: – job. CHUCK TODD: – ruling different leak, think would far explosive thing inside institution? JENNIFER MASCOTT: Well, think clearly would depended change was. Obviously, vote change kind would certainly communicated kinds tactics work. think really astounding it’s jjustices facing attacks outside here, know, questioning institution. institution’s strong. They're continuing jobs. week, clip played shows, Chief Justice Roberts Justice Kagan together, Justice Roberts receiving award, talking collegiality institution, despite buffeting outside that’s continuing go on. CHUCK TODD: Let talk ethics, guys brought clerks, sign anything? eth – – bat? What, pledge? anything put writing pledging sort fidelity Court? JENNIFER MASCOTT: Well, nobody's asking anybody pledge fidelity, think, institution. think law clerks, like government employees across board, trying hired. want people integrity serve institution principle law Constitution. like federal officials, clerks, obviously, supposed take oath uphold Constitution try serve jjustices apply principles law. CHUCK TODD: look – anything personal financial situation – ANDREW CRESPO: background check? CHUCK TODD: Yeah, least background check – ANDREW CRESPO: No, like back there, was, know, 10 years ago now. remember sign anything. remember early year chief justice – clerk chief justice – chief justice would get law clerks, 30 plus us, room. ethics talk. almost entirely “Don't talk outside building happens building.” well Dobbs, really impressed law clerks – CHUCK TODD: violating right now? ANDREW CRESPO: No, think so. think chief made clear wants – know something impressed upon law clerks. supposed talk outside Court opinions work Court. like a, recall, signing, much impressed law clerks supposed disclose happens inside building then, ever. CHUCK TODD: – Jennifer, remember political debates? JENNIFER MASCOTT: Political debates within – ? Chuck Todd – within institution. legal debates, constitutional debates, good old fashioned political debates? JENNIFER MASCOTT: honest, really much. mean, feel, feel like striking amount collegiality. actually, look recent terms, last 10 terms court, think, least 40 meritsbased decisions issued unanimously. lot times outside, talk handful decisions seem be, quote unquote, “political” “controversial,” Court got really challenging issues coming it. lot times they're issues necessarily topic dinnertime conversation. really love opportunity able meet clerks across spectrum still keep many today practice law professor. CHUCK TODD: Let move issue what's deemed “shadow docket,” maybe guys explain this. Let put statistic here. sort administration – when, Department Justice behalf executive branch looking emergency relief. the, eight – four terms Bush Obama, eight times Supreme Court asked emergency relief. one term Donald Trump, 41 times. appears longer emergency relief. political disputes. never know rationale is. gotten overused, Andrew? ANDREW CRESPO: think we're seeing greater sort frequency folks turning judiciary, one biggest challenges parties pick judges lower courts, right? file lawsuit Texas, pick location going file lawsuit, one judge who's going hear case. know political party appointed judge, know political valence judge. see parties rushing judiciary, getting pick lower court judges, it’s accelerant forces everything faster Supreme Court. it’s making Supreme Court, conservative court, basically sitting driver's seat issues get shot Court using shadow docket act faster issues. CHUCK TODD: Jennifer, one complaints know rationale behind it. – look, debate whether ruled on, then, even get rationale. change that? JENNIFER MASCOTT: Well, think Andrew's point, true Court responding cases find them. often lower courts outside parties bringing cases Court’s emergency docket. One, mean, obviously unique circumstance Trump administration pandemic caused lot state orders necessarily happening rapidly years previous that, increased use orders docket. think Court attentive people wanting understand reasoning. cases actually resulted written decisions, perhaps lengthy merits ones. fact, even oral arguments issued rapidly, sometimes cases courts wanted rule issues big importance. think Court trying issue reasoning American public, quite frankly, ways, one transparent institutions sense that, least merits cases, we're getting dozens dozens pages – CHUCK TODD: reporter – JENNIFER MASOCTT: – lengthy reasoning justices. CHUCK TODD: – looking transparency, transparent institution. understand within legal community argument there. Jennifer Mascott, Andrew Crespo, thank here. Appreciate it. JENNIFER MASCOTT: Thank us. CHUCK TODD: next, public sees Court partisan. Court actually behaving way? Data Download next. CHUCK TODD: Welcome back, Data Download time. discuss Supreme Court’s evolution, particularly standing among public deteriorated, perceive partisan, we’re provide reality check exactly driving shift. There’s one simple way describe this, that’s simply number appointments. Since LBJ, Republican presidents office 32 years gotten 16 Supreme Court justices. Democratic presidents office 22 years gotten five justices. actuary tables   Jimmy Carter, served four years, got zero appointments. George H. W. Bush served four years, got two. Donald Trump, four years, got three. So, see happens. let’s look views, polling views, whether Court liberal conservative. Going back start century, see here, fluctuated liberal conservative, narrowly. know, Bush years War Terror, seen conservative. Obama years, Obama Care ruling, sex marriage, seen liberal. look  skyrocketed now. Fortytwo percent currently think conservative and, fact, makes number unique  it’s  there’s third punch ask here: Court liberal, conservative, right  right led throughout entire century, last couple years. Now, let’s move issue whether they’re right  public right? Court shifted views right? Well, National Academy Sciences sort compared key Supreme Court rulings public opinion different decades. 2010, versus Democrats wanted rulings Republicans want rulings, Court basically came middle. 2020, essentially thing. Court shifted dramatically 2021, Ruth Bader Ginsburg dying, Amy Coney Barrett making Brett Kavanaugh center. happened? perception Court conservative, rulings actually right average would two parties, right even Republicans thought Court would rule. So, perception case, it’s conservative, may play reality. come back, Supreme Court case decide would win White House. We’re going look back moment divided Court ended disputed election. CHUCK TODD: Welcome back, public crisis confidence Supreme Court didn’t start overturning Roe v. Wade. 2000, Court ended Florida vote recount election George W. Bush Al Gore, clearing way certify Bush's win. controversial fivefour ruling hurt Court's legitimacy among Democrats divided already fiercely polarized nation. five days decision, House Democratic Leader, Dick Gephardt, appeared program refused call George W. Bush legitimate next president. [BEGIN TAPE] TIM RUSSERT: Supreme Court decision, based law politics? REP. DICK GEPHARDT: Well, accept decision. criticized decision. think right decision. wish could've counted votes. Court made decision. TIM RUSSERT: George W. Bush legitimate 43rd president United States? REP. DICK GEPHARDT: George W. Bush next president United States. TIM RUSSERT: But, whoa, whoa. legitimate?  REP. DICK GEPHARDT:  respect presidency. respect law. work try solve people's problems. That's task front us now. TIM RUSSERT: can't leading Democrat say legitimate president United States? REP. DICK GEPHARDT: president United States. [END TAPE] CHUCK TODD: come back, Court fix itself? special panel Court reporters next. CHUCK TODD: Welcome back, panel here. NBC News senior legal correspondent Laura Jarrett, Nina Totenberg, NPR legal affairs correspondent author Dinners Ruth. Joan Biskupic, CNN senior Supreme Court analyst author Nine Black Robes Dahlia Lithwick, Slate senior legal correspondent author Lady Justice. Nina Totenberg, let start you. court crisis? NINA TOTENBERG: Well, bad dysfunctional situation, think. I've covered court long, long time, think I've ever seen court odds. best example fairly minor, greater scheme things, decision couple weeks ago. five opinions. opinion Court. three opinions on, one side two opinions dissent. CHUCK TODD: tell you? NINA TOTENBERG: tells like trust other. china's broken they're getting along. can't get along, can't reach sort consensus things. CHUCK TODD: Laura, look like you? LAURA JARRETT: Well, interesting that's what's going internally. what's going externally another sort crisis sort devising public legitimacy, idea whether institution public trust and, feel decisions made evenhandedly. recently ethics issues emerged, that, many ways, new, different level heightened attention now, think, good thing. there's meaningful check treated like federal judges. CHUCK TODD: Joan, want pull something book. JOAN BISKUPIC: Sure. CHUCK TODD: I'm sure happy that. JOAN BISKUPIC: Yes, thank you. CHUCK TODD: John Roberts. “Some Chief Justice John Roberts' colleagues suspicious maneuverings cases, saw exalted sense authority Chief justice. exerted strong hand internal operations court building and, various public communications, separated eight associate justices.” highlight quote because, go Nina said go Laura said, look chief justice. – leads, followers? JOAN BISKUPIC: Well, written capturing time control. – CHUCK TODD: preBarrett. JOAN BISKUPIC: Yes, preBarrett – CHUCK TODD: Okay. JOAN BISKUPIC: – key vote. could lot maneuvering behind scenes. CHUCK TODD: fulcrum, right? JOAN BISKUPIC: That's exactly right. CHUCK TODD: right there. JOAN BISKUPIC: behavior, frankly, come back haunt justices right, Justice Amy Coney Barrett. need him. need big important cases like Dobbs. might respond him. think we've seen responding issues ethics. problem right twofold. One – one consequential opinions, like Dobbs opinion rolled back Roe v. Wade, also kind formal ethics policy even adopt. team right now. CHUCK TODD: Dahlia, actually talking camera Jennifer Mascott, sort implied, goes – thought clear Justice Alito necessarily follow Justice Roberts' lead anymore. first years, did. – Clarence Thomas almost conservative leader days. that, read? DAHLIA LITHWICK: think block Court Justice Alito Thomas, sometimes Justice Gorsuch, much thing, separate centrist block Roberts Kavanaugh, sometimes Barrett doing. think that, extent call centrist block – CHUCK TODD: going say people listening going, ""That's centrist block?"" DAHLIA LITHWICK: Right. important say. CHUCK TODD: three, three, three, kind is. DAHLIA LITHWICK: “Ish.” important say – CHUCK TODD: Yeah, “ish.” DAHLIA LITHWICK: Joan's point, Justice Kavanaugh median justice Court. There's – nothing tell Court statistic. think interesting least sometimes sense center, votes play. think votes play Justice Alito Justice Thomas's world. CHUCK TODD: let's talk ethics situation. mean, expect, Nina, anything justice – let put headlines. – perception Court – politicized big donor. We've got headlines: “Clarence Thomas failed report wife's income,” “Clarence Thomas's wife Ginni told January 6th Committee discuss election husband” – know married couple discuss election, apparently they're ones – “Judicial activists directed fees Clarence Thomas's wife, urged ‘no mention –.’” What, theory, could Chief Justice Roberts create better ethical picture Court? NINA TOTENBERG: Well, part problem is, Joan said, team him. need lose much. let's say sit say, ""Look, we've got something. Let's lot ethics professors say could – half day. Write code ourselves."" two members say, ""Well, I'm going abide it. know ought that."" Court then. CHUCK TODD: recourse. NINA TOTENBERG: There's recourse. even question majority. recourse. would argue the, kinds potential conflicts interest raised Justice Thomas' friendship Harlan Crow refusal recuse January 6th matters materially different kinds potential conflicts might raised by, know, justices, example, recuse cases involving publishing companies – CHUCK TODD: Sure, right, book deals. NINA TOTENBERG: – – they've written book. different. materially different understandable public. CHUCK TODD: look like going get worse gets better we're going basically like 19thcentury Supreme Court, overtly political. want play something Ron DeSantis said philosophy Supreme Court justices. [START TAPE] GOV. RON DESANTIS: replace Clarence Thomas somebody like Roberts somebody like that, going actually see Court move left. can't that. [END TAPE] CHUCK TODD: want remind viewers, Laura, Justice Roberts said, ""I umpire. call balls strikes."" wants – like viewed partisan. Potentially next president United States saying, ""Oh no. I'm nominating partisans."" LAURA JARRETT: part what's interesting that, he's playing crowd, hear there, says things he's going make Court even right, everybody's applauding. Everybody's enthusiastic Court packing Court way that, think, would, would interesting people think sort apolitical branch. He's playing audience cares deeply this. JOAN BISKUPIC: Well, look 2016. would argue Donald Trump election part Justice Scalia died. CHUCK TODD: he'd alive, know Trump wins. JOAN BISKUPIC: seriously believe that, Chuck. CHUCK TODD: agree. JOAN BISKUPIC: seriously believe that. CHUCK TODD: I'm you. JOAN BISKUPIC: remember, – Donald Trump something unprecedented. May 2016, relisted – released list potential candidates kept adding it, adding it, fulfilled that. CHUCK TODD: Dahlia, last word? DAHLIA LITHWICK: Well, remember election, three octogenarians Court empty seat months months. one side campaigning issue pack Court. Democrats saying like, ""Screen save. Screen save.
