Hours before the Supreme Court is expected to make a landmark ruling on whether Donald Trump — or any president or ex-president — is free to break the law, a former Department of Justice official warned that the conservative wing of the court has become "mad with power."

Reacting to the court ruling on Friday that would gut the Chevron U.S.A. versus Natural Resources Defense Council standard that has been used for 40 years, Shan Wu claimed that Republican-appointed justices are taking part in a "revolution" aimed at upending decades of settled law.

CBS News host Margaret Brennan rebuked Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) for suggesting that the media was to blame for former President Donald Trump's false statements at a recent debate with President Joe Biden.

"Fewer voters thought the former president was truthful compared with President Biden," Brennan explained on Sunday. "Mr. Trump falsely claimed states are passing legislation to execute babies. I think you know that killing people is illegal in every state.

Former Joe Biden White House press secretary and current MSNBC host Jen Psaki cautioned her viewers that a brokered Democratic convention being proposed by some liberal commentators after Biden's terrible debate performance is easier to talk about than it is to pull off.

While Psaki didn't say it was impossible, she did state that it could end in disaster in multiple ways that some advocates seem to be unaware of.

"I'm not going to sit here and tell you what to think, but those of you out there who have hopes of Joe Biden stepping aside for a with a brokered convention, you should know all the factors there," she lectured. "First of all, it would have a seismic impact on the Democratic party if the president stayed neutral and didn't endorse his own vice president."

"It would mean also a couple of thousand party insiders would be empowered to make a choice on the nominee, not the millions of Democratic primary voters who already cast their ballots," she continued. "And it could mean positioning a talented, and there are many Democrats who are talented out there, but a largely untested candidate with potentially low name identification into the national spotlight as one person responsible for defeating Trump just over two months from an election."

"You may still prefer that option, but you should know the candidate spit out of that process and may not be your choice either," she added. "It will all be very messy and potentially very divisive. It still feels very unlikely. right now, Jill Biden is standing by the president — the most important person in his life. Barack Obama is standing by him."

"We can discuss and debate all day long whether that is the right thing, there are reasonable and thoughtful arguments on both sides of that question, and we will discuss them over the course of the show and over the next few weeks," she promised.

Fox News host Maria Bartiromo suggested Sunday that former President Barack Obama is running an operation to replace President Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee.

During a discussion with RNC co-chair Lara Trump, Bartiromo wondered how Democrats would remove Biden from the ticket.

Republican National Committee co-chair Lara Trump insisted that Donald Trump was "leading" the nation even though he is "not officially" president.

While speaking to Fox News host Maria Bartiromo on Sunday, Lara Trump said her father-in-law was "feeling great" about his last debate with President Joe Biden.

Former Judge J. Michael Luttig caught MSNBC's Ali Velshi by surprise on Sunday morning by stating he thinks Judge Tanya Chutkan would have no problem starting Donald Trump’s trial related to the Jan. 6 insurrection just days before voters go to the polls in November.

Appearing to talk about the Supreme Court's impending ruling on Donald Trump's bid for absolute immunity expected Monday morning, the conservative judge who served on the 4th Circuit United States Court of Appeals after being appointed by President George H. W. Bush, Luttig suggested the former president won't get his wish and that the trial in Chutkan's courtroom will proceed after clearing a few hurdles.

As Luttig told the MSNBC host, while there are political considerations involved in starting a trial that could run through the election, there is no legal reason stopping special counsel Jack Smith from asking for the trial to start as soon as possible -- politics be damned.

"The politics of the moment will all but demand that Jack Smith forgo trial before the election, and until after the election," Luttig told the MSNBC host before adding, "But I would urge Jack Smith, in the strongest possible terms today not to yield to that cynical partisan politics, and to bring this case on for trial even in September or October," at which point Velshi blurted, "Wow,' as Luttig continued, "In the name of, and for the sake of American democracy, the Constitution and rule of law."

"Judge, is there any chance if Jack Smith hears this and takes your guidance on this that Tanya Chutkan will allow it to happen?" Velshi pressed.

"Yes, there is every chance in the world that Judge Chutkan would allow that to happen, Ali," the retired judge replied.

NBC News host Kristen Welker called out Gov. Doug Burgum (R-ND), a Donald Trump surrogate, for issuing more executive orders than President Joe Biden and calling Jan. 6 a "smooth transition" of power.

During an interview on Sunday, Welker noted that the former president made caveats while saying he would accept the results of the 2024 election at a recent debate.

ABC News host Jonathan Karl clashed with political strategist and convicted criminal Steve Bannon about violence from Republicans.

During an interview that aired Sunday on ABC's This Week program, Bannon dismissed death threats received by Dr. Anthony Fauci after he called to put the doctor's head "on a pike."

Following a debate performance from President Joe Biden that failed to solidify his ability to defeat ex-President Donald Trump in November, several newspapers and Democratic leaders have called on the president to end his re-election bid — but one conservative is shutting those calls down.

Anti-Trump Lincoln Project adviser and former Republican consultant Stuart Stevens, in a Sunday op-ed published by the New York Times, argues, "For all the talk of Mr. Biden’s off night, what is lost is that Mr. Trump missed a great opportunity to reset his candidacy and greatly strengthen his position."

Fox News host Shannon Bream predicted that President Joe Biden would likely have a "huge win" if there were a second debate with former President Donald Trump.

Bream spoke to the hosts of Fox & Friends on Sunday about Biden's poor debate performance.

As the auditioning to be Donald Trump's running mate reaches a fever pitch before the Republican National Convention kicks into gear in mid-July, billionaire donors are increasingly being used as "pawns" by the leading contenders for the second slot to catch the former president's eye.

According to a report from the New York Times, one of the keys to becoming the GOP VP nominee is the ability to bring more cash to the general election campaign and hopefuls are flaunting their big-money contacts as a reason to be the chosen one.
