Well, howdy there, Internet people, it's Bell again.

So today, we're going to talk about a question on judges legislating from the bench and Trump.

0:11.9

Well, we have a question today that we definitely need to pay attention to.

0:17.0

Can you at least agree that these activist judges are overstepping their bounds?

0:21.6
