0:00.0	It was a busy week in the courts.
0:03.5	It was a busy week in Congress where the Magger Republicans in the House of Representatives tried to push through and did push through in the House so far, that disastrous budget bill where they snuck in a provision trying to divest federal courts of the right to issue contempt rulings. They didn't say against who,
0:24.0	which also makes it extra unconstitutional as well, but they seem to have one person in mind,
0:29.7	Donald Trump. Why? Because he keeps on losing and losing and losing. And in various cases

1:37.1	Holman, the borders are, people like Marco Rubio and others. They do not have the same immunity
1:42.2	that Donald Trump was given. You know, so you had
1:45.9	Christy Knoem this week, Michael Popak. You may have seen it. She was making posts like suck it. She
1:52.1	wrote suck it after different things that were happening in the courts. I mean, it's just so
1:56.9	humiliating to see the cabinet level position. Someone say suck it, but I'm not sure why
