| 0:00.0 | A major loss for Donald Trump at the Supreme Court is good news for democracy, but the |
| 0:11.2 | bulwark that the judiciary is presenting in the face of Donald Trump's threats has been |
| 0:15.0 | happening since the beginning of this administration, and it continues even in the face of increasingly |
| 0:19.6 | threatening rhetoric against judges by the Trump |
| 0:22.4 | administration. Take one of the most prominent examples, the D.C. District Court Judge James |
| 0:26.9 | Bosberg, who last week issued a directive ordering the Trump administration to facilitate the |
