Hamilton and the other Framers envisioned a Supreme Court that was immune to public opinion, the arguments of presidents and senators, and great wealth alike - but today's GOP has a different plan… China agrees with DeSantis and a few other states - library books should not have "unhealthy ideas." What's unhealthy? Whatever the dictator decides. Speaking of China - Comedy firm gets a $2 minion fine for a military joke - Is this giving Desantis any idea of next steps? Phil Ittner - Veteran War Correspondent based in Kyiv, Ukraine. Plus, a bit of humanity hits the war in Ukraine.
