using this mississippi case to overturn roe v. wade, how could that happen? what could the supreme court end up doing here? the ban in mississippi is after 15 weeks of pregnancy. and we know that in roe v. wade, they said it was unconstitutional to ban an abortion in the first trimester, which is somewhere around 22 to 24 weeks. so there may be some sliver where they could somehow distinguish roe v. wade there, but it doesn't seem like it. it seems like you would either have to strike down the mississippi law, or they would have to say, roe v. wade is overturned. if that happens, there are many states ready to go to trigger laws that are already on the books to make abortion illegal in their states. >> mississippi governor tate reeves was asked about this case during an appearance on "meet the press" yesterday. he talked about how he felt that roe v. wade was wrongly decided. take a listen. >> i believe in a simple reading of the united states constitution that when roe was decided in 1973, there is no fundamental right in our united states constitution to an

in other words, mississippi's 15-week abortion law is not on the radical fringe when it comes to abortion. it is squarely in the mainstream for western democracies, and it is, in fact, more permissive than the abortion laws of a majority of european countries. and yet the abortion lobby would have us believe that mississippi's pushing some kind of extreme abortion legislation. mr. president, let's talk about unborn babies at 15 weeks. 15-week-old unborn children have fully developed hearts that have already beat more than 15 million times. they yawn. they make facial expressions. they suck their thumbs. they respond to taste and touch. and, mr. president, scientific evidence suggests that they can feel pain. pro-abortion activists may not like to hear it, but scientific evidence shows that the neural connections necessary to transmit pain are fully in place by around 20 weeks, and that babies may actually begin to experience pain as early as 12 weeks. so when we're talking about a 15-week-old unborn baby, we're talking about a baby who may very well already be able to experience pain and

he is the colonel of the 18th mississippi. a doctor, he has a wife and eight kids of his own in mississippi. and i think coming to leesburg and meeting the harrisons that also have eight kids, i'm sure they have a lot in common. in fact the colonel makes a special friendship with a niece of the harrisonharrisons. she 19 or 20 years old and she is also staying there. they had a close fip and they were close to what you would think of as siblings. they had a familial affection for each other. so he not only feels patriotism for the confederacy, but i think he is also thinking about the harris sons and the other white people in leesburg when he is there on the hike outside of the river, really. and on the morning of october 21st, i'm not going to replay the battle, i'm not a civil war or military historian, what i can tell you is that the end result of the battle are pretty clear, and as they are going across the field, they're being guided by a marylander. who was later given credit as a virginian. and that is mr. elijah white.

so the mississippi law clearly violates that. at the same time it is a law that is more liberal than most european democracies. is actually about more where the american people are on this issue, provides opportunities for if there is a serious risk to life of the mother, etc. so it will be interesting. the problem underlying roe isn't the pollz. the problem is it's not a constitutional holding. constitution says nothing about abortion and in that case when the court brought that into the constitution and said we are going to read this right in what they did is brought to politics of constitutional sphere along with it. this is a chance for the court to get out of it and let's let states decide how to deal with this issue. >> julie: we have two states here. we also have texas trying to get it back to six weeks. that i believe is going to be a much harder case to argue. the supreme court is set to hear arguments on december 1 in a case here in mississippi which again has raised the stakes by explicitly asking the court, which has

mississippi is asking the high court to uphold the state's ban on most abortions after the 15 week of pregnancy. the state enacted a law in 2020 18, but it was blocked after a federal court challenge the supreme court has never allowed states to ban abortion before the point when a fetus can survive outside the. roughly 24 weeks. well, starting today, only us citizens and residents will be able to fly to the u.s. from 8 nations in south africa. the travel restrictions come in response to the concerns over this newly discovered variant. as they are. we're joined this morning by anna wiernicki from washington, dc with the latest. good morning, anna. >> good morning. well, the white house says that president biden has been monitoring this new strain very closely and talking with top us health officials who say they are considering all precautions, but a lot is still unknown. >> president joe biden returned to the white house on sunday to meet in person with members of his covid-19 response team and chief medical advisor doctor anthony fauci about the new covid-19 on the kron variant. we

in mississippi, there is the white line. in north carolina, the red shirt. the ku klux klan reasons why does the south for about eight years. and alongside that we're all the parallel militias i just named. an early disguise of the brigade was the ranks of volunteer fire companies. violent tear fire companies joined in great numbers. in great numbers, confederate veterans, join volunteer fire companies, which became overstaffed and armed and we're like a kind of -- for the white supremacist movement. >> constant lecorgne fire company was called hook and ladder, which was made up of his former companies seed the 14th regiment of louisiana infantry. constant lecorgne took the extreme step and join this armed resistance. he became a guerrilla fighter who wanted to return the south to white rule and became a foot soldier in the campaign. first major explosion in new orleans of parlor occurred in july 1866 and evidence that constant lecorgne was there at the mechanics institute meeting hall during a convention to agitate for the black vote. home hook and ladder w

that's where the mississippi law will come. are you hearing from barrett, from kavanaugh, or any others, that you take as a signal on that other issue? >> i didn't hear anything today that signals what the court's going to do. as you note one month from today the supreme court is going to hear arguments in dobbs versus jackson women's health organization which is challenge to mississippi 15-week abortion ban, the first time the supreme court is considering a ban before viability. the state of mississippi has asked the supreme court to overrule roe, to overrule casey and allow states to ban abortion outright. so the right to abortion is at stake in that case it's going to be heard one month from now. i didn't hear anything today that really signals how the court is going to rule in that case. >> what about with kavanaugh --ly give you final point obviously and congratulations on today being your first day before the supreme court, that's something to remember, when kavanaugh was talking about, he was saying, but, we may change t

and alabama and mississippi. and then on my father side with the enslaved people from georgia into texas and from my mother's family from mississippi and alabama and then traced back to the 18 twenties in texas. so slavery is at the root of our familymi story. but i want to try to tell that story in a way that explains some of the racial problems of voter suppression. and then people go back to east texas and is very much alike with influence and the plantation society is very similar. but to tell a particular story i thought i could do that in a personal way to tell the history of texas through my family story. >> is this something that has been a project you have been interested in for a long time? d how did that come about? and when it went virtual there was no reason for cambridge here in new york. and then to stay here in new york in isolation it was part of it and i have done a piece for the new yorker going up to juneteenth and i also have done a review of my book about texas for the new york review. and t

so the 18th mississippi is moving forward. colonel burt is on his horse at the back of the regiment and elijah white remarks that colonel burt is moving forward and he did not know that ahead, the field was clear, but there was a patch of wood and the ground dropped off. and where that wooded patch was and ground dropped, was just enough cover for the 15th massachusetts to be laying in wait. and he came within 100 yards when they sprang up and fired. throughout the rest of elijah white's civil war career, he said that was the deadliest volley he had ever seen. immediately, we're not talking about decimating the 18th mississippi. 1 out of 10. decimate. it was 1 out of 3 or 1 out of every 2 soldiers who was taken out by this volley from the 15th mass. they were just shredded. and one of those bullets hit him and shattered the bone and staying lodged inside his body. this is horrific. this is very bad news. and what does burt do, elijah white said he turned to me and said as quote in a regular, everyday conversation and said, you

mississippi's 15-week abortion ban. in the state of mississippi has asked supreme court to overrule roe and to overrule casey and to allow them to ban abortion outright. the right to abortion is at stake. we haven't heard how the state is going to rule in that case. >> when kavanaugh was talking about, he was saying, we may change the law in the future. what would that mean in terms of everything that has been done while we were waiting in this period before we changed the law. what would that expose people to? >> on one level, you can say, that's an exfacto argument. a point from someone that is a legal scholar. what was that about? >> i think he was honing in on one of the worst provisions of this law, that it's retroactive. if they are relying on injunction and the injunction gets overruled or the law changes, they can face retroactive ability. and it's one of the many, many pernicious things about this law, where texas has created special rules, solely to be able to turn the courts into a weapon, to nullify constitu

that's what mississippi challenges by banning abortion. at 15 weeks, that will be argued on december 1st. the new york gun case, which the judge also granted as i described it is a challenge to the second amendment as it's been understand ever since the heller decision, which, itself, was a brands new understanding of the second amendment back in 2008 that there's an individual right to keep a gun at home for self-defense. the new york case involves conceal carry and what limitations the state put on the right to walk around with a concealed gun. so these are two -- that case was argued earlier this month. it looks like strict new york law is not going to survive. >> yeah. certainly, linda, you've charted in your book how politics have really shaped the particularly in the wake of justice ginsburg's death last year, is a call for the democrats to add justices to the supreme court. do you think there's any scenario where that could happen, and what do you see as someone who's studied the court for so long, the pros and cons of packing the c

jackson women's health organization, mississippi case. that is on december 1 for oral arguments. could you talk about the difference in that case versus this one? >> so in the mississippi case, the court is confronted with the direct question about whether roe v. wade and planned parenthood versus casey remains law of the land. it is a challenge to a ban on abortion at 15 weeks of pregnancy. under the currentaw, abortions e available up until viability are 23, -- eight weeks. it is impornt for us to keep our eye on the ball. we could get a win in the texas case a lose the whole ball of lack in this one because once a supreme court as we expect opens the door to a whole range of ban on abortion before viability, they can do so -- i think as many as 20 states will begin to ban abortions. and the women in those states will suffer irreparable harm. juan: if that were to happen, what do you see then as the strategy forhose who supported women's right to choose? >> thank you for asking that because i think the most important thing is we have to keep -- we have to make sure we don't kee
