Majority

The Trump administration swiftly appealed asking the Supreme Court to weigh in After nearly a month the justices on August twenty-fourth sided with the president.

The court's conservative majority concluded the challenge was premature.

The Majority wrote that the decision was preliminary and indicated they were not weighing in on whether the administration's order will necessarily be lawful once the plans were in place On that score Time Will Tell the justices wrote.

The Court three liberals dissented justice Ketanji brown Jackson wrote that the decision needlessly injects chaos and uncertainty into the upcoming midterm elections The court's order did not address the Postal Service's plans, which was announced after the Trump administration asked the justices to step in but three days before the Supreme Court's ruling.

The legal action then shifted back to the lower courts in a flurry of action.

The GOP has largely focused on the attack, characterizing their Democratic opponents as communists, and Republicans really have a lot of structural forces against them.

The president's party nearly always loses seats in the midterms, particularly with a president this unpopular in the White House, and they really only have a tiny slice of seats to spare in order to hold onto their majority.

majority.Is there anything structural that favors Republicans?

Well, they did come out slightly ahead in the mid-decade redistricting fight-

Mm

Now, let me find out from Frank.

When he was Majority Team Queen and Afenyo was Majority Leader... and they brought the nominee of Herbert Kappa to Parliament, and we did it within three days.

Which process did they use to waive Order 217? Is it not the same process? Is it not the same format? Was there a publication? Wasn't the 14-day publication waived? So when it suits them, then it must be applicable.

When it doesn't suit them, then it must be applied.

So to continue to rehearse that position is a journey to nowhere.

Roxanne Nelson-Dafiamekpo, glad you could join me this evening.

He's the Majority Chief.

We also heard from Frank Anadompre.

Yeah.

So for the piece that we did a couple months back, we were looking at two twin organizations that go by the name of The Bench and Majority Democrats.

They funnel money between one another, share a lot of the same staff and donors, and they're these new players on the scene that made a huge splash, uh, in the Democratic primaries this year.

They've helped, um, boost, uh, Josh Turek to victory in his primary race for the Iowa Senate seat, James Talarico in Texas over Jasmine Crockett, and their handpicked candidate was Mallory McMorrow in the Michigan Senate race, who had to drop out actually before the primary date.

Right.

Then they were called Third Way.

Now, I think they're called Majority Democrats a- and The Bench.

I mean, Luke, is that, like, a fair way to look at it, or am I, or am I being unfair?

Well, of course, I'm a member of the NCRI, which is the longest lasting coalition, Iranian opposition coalition, democratic one that brings together under one umbrella a variety of Iranian opposition groups from the left to the right to the center.

It represents Iranian ethnic and religious minorities, and it has a platform, a ten-point plan, which its president-elect, Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, has articulated, which basically underscores, one, freedom of expression, two, freedom of assembly, an abolition of the death penalty, end of torture, end to Sharia law, Non-nuclear Iran peaceful coexistence with the rest of Iran neighbors and of course autonomy for Iranian national minorities and equal rights for all citizens as well as gender equality And of course the NCRI over the years has garnered tremendous support not only here in Europe about 4,000 parliamentarians from 50 countries but also in the United States where Majorities in the House of Representatives and a sizable number of U.S. senators from both sides of the aisle have over many years have said this is where we should invest in the Iranian organized opposition and basically give it the political recognition that it needs to carry out its noble task of toppling the mullahs of Iran.

So I'm sorry, just to follow up, I'm not so sure I got a clear answer.

So are you in Paris for that, pushing that agenda and working with other opposition leaders? Is that why you're in Paris? I'm curious.
