Summary

Are “rogue” judges trying to stop the Trump agenda, like Republicans claim? This week on the FOX News Rundown, host Dave Anthony asked Jonathan Turley, a Constitutional Law Expert and Fox News Contributor, that question. He discussed the power of federal judges, claims about ‘judicial activism’ in our federal courts, and the GOP’s effort to limit specific rulings and prohibit nationwide injunctions. Turley also examines the Constitutional questions about whether President Trump could serve a third term. We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview. Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with FOX News Contributor and legal analyst Jonathan Turley. You will get even more of his take on so-called ‘judicial activism’ and the possibility of a Trump third term. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
