Susanne Craig, New York Times Investigative Reporter and Rick Stengel, MSNBC Political Analyst join Nicolle Wallace with continued reaction to the nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to Donald Trump's cabinet, what the confirmation process could look like, and what his plans for the HHS could look like.

While Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s public health views are being scrutinized after Donald Trump tapped him to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, the Supreme Court just rejected an appeal he pressed on the subject. On Wednesday, Justice Elena Kagan turned aside a bid from Kennedy and his Children’s Health Defense group to halt investigations of doctors in Washington state over Covid-19 misinformation.

“The Court should speak clearly and decisively to state actors, professional organizations, other non-state actors, and the national media: Public speech does not lose its constitutional protection from government action simply because it is uttered by a healthcare professional, even if it is at odds with medical orthodoxy,” Kennedy and his colleagues wrote in their injunction application to Kagan, who fields emergency requests from the Washington region.
