0:00.0	Let's just get to the heart of the matter. It's the suspension of habeas corpus. It's the destruction of the Constitution that the Trump regime is after. I think that maybe they thought that they were going to just bulldoze over the Constitution and all of the federal courts were going to embrace them,
0:23.0	Michael Popak, the way the MAGA Republicans in the House bent the knee. But now as you're
0:29.2	having federal judge after federal judge, whether it's a Trump appointed federal judge,
0:35.3	a Reagan appointed federal judge, George Reagan appointed federal judge,
0:37.7	George W. Bush appointed, and yes, Obama, Biden, and Clinton.
0:41.7	But right now there is this federal judge wall
0:47.4	when it comes to the issue of Trump violating due process.
0:52.3	We've got some lousy federal court decisions on some other areas. We've got some good
0:57.0	federal court decisions on some other areas. But when it comes to Donald Trump's view that he

1:34.3	episode, right? Stephen Miller Trump's top advisor who's not a lawyer. I want to repeat that again,
1:41.1	not a lawyer. The same way Jim Jordan, MagGA Republican Congress member who leads the Judiciary Committee,
1:47.7	he at least went to law school, not a licensed lawyer, didn't pass the bar exam,
1:52.1	but you have these non-lawyers who are basically saying we don't need to follow the Constitution.
1:58.7	And Stephen Miller, we know, is the guy who's been telling Donald Trump
2:03.0	falsely that the Supreme Court ruled nine to zero, that Trump won the case involving Abrago Garcia,
2:10.1	that he doesn't have to facilitate the return. Stephen Miller's probably the most influential person
