donald trump, this is governor roy cooper, donald trump is responsible for north carolina's abortion ban, that restricts women's freedom to make their own health care decisions. since donald trump stands between a woman and her doctor, north carolinians will stand between donald trump and the white house this november. i mean, that is some strong messaging. is it enough to be able to say that reproductive rights are on the ballot in november, when you have donald trump waffling on whether or not he supports the national ban? >> we know that the abortion issue is bedeviling republicans. we have seen a trail of republican losses since the overturning of roe v wade. i don't think by itself, it is enough. i think it has to be done in complement with the economic accomplishment story. and also, frankly, the threat to american democracy that the maga republican project led by donald trump represents. but, that trifecta, the economic progress, the dangers of the freedoms that are going to be overturned and have been overturned on abortion, reproductive rights, and the threat to democracy. t

i think about this in terms of trump acting as president trump on the one hand and as candidate trump on the other. that would then go back down to the lower court, presumably to make a ruling, i suppose, they could also decide to send it back to the court of appeals and trump's lawyer suggested it should go back to the district judge. you know, the silver lining is for her to make that decision. she could decide she needs to hold an evidentiary hearing and put on a miniature trial in essence before she made that determination. it would be cumbersome, it would be subject to additional layers of appeal, most likely. it would, as you mentioned, engender a lot of delay. but there is a slightly rosy prospect of actually having a hearing even though there would not be a jury verdict, hearing where the government evidence would become public. >> i wanted to ask about something that tonja brown jackson said to the end of the hearing today, putting aside that she was asked during, why can't we just answer the question as presented, she also said that article two, which is what the lawyer for
