| 0:00.0 | Our nation is in crisis. It is not a constitutional crisis because the law, the Constitution is whatever the people in charge say it is. |
| 0:11.0 | What we have right now is a legal coup. Some good news, however, early Saturday morning the Supreme Court temporarily blocked Trump's invocation of the Alien |
| 0:22.6 | Enemies Act that he used to justify deporting Venezuelan gang members of that prison in El Salvador. |
| 0:30.1 | Immediately after, Trump's Solicitor General, DeJohn Sauer, filed a 17-page motion asking the |
