Rep. Ayanna Pressley calls on Congress to protect abortion rights if the courts won't
Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with the Supreme Court hearing arguments on Wednesday in which they were asked to allow Mississippi to uphold a ban on abortions after 15 weeks. Listening to the oral arguments it became clear that all six conservative justices were either openly or implicitly interested in entertaining Mississippi's request. Rep. Ayanna Pressley joins Joy to discuss. Next, the House select committee investigating Jan. 6 has voted unanimously to refer Jeffrey Clark for criminal contempt of congress charges. Clark is the former Justice Department official who reportedly plotted with Donald Trump in a scheme to invalidate the electoral votes of Georgia and other states. MSNBC legal analyst Glenn Kirschner joins us with his expert analysis. Next, we are just three days away from a possible government shutdown and Republicans are threatening to not just let it happen, but to make it happen, which would furlough hundreds of thousands of federal employees just three weeks before Christmas. Sen. Chris Murphy weighs in. All this and much more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
