The Judiciary Pushback Against Trump’s Agenda

Donald Trump trembles his cabinet, while his immigration program faces a repression of the courts. Panelists on Washington week with the Atlantic joined to discuss.

A federal judge committed to Trump in Texas described the use by the administration of the “illegal” extraterrestrial enemies law – and was among other judges from across the country who ruled against the president.

“The decisive fact of the first three months of this second term of Trump is that so many institutions opposed to it if to succeed in the first mandate have been absent or retired,” said Michael Scherer, a Atlantic Editor, said last night. “The only exception to this is the legal process.” Although the judges “work at a different rate from that of politicians or decrees,” he added, “you have seen in recent weeks a truly dramatic decision of the judiciary to intervene.”

Joining the guest moderator and the correspondent of the White House to HOUR NEW PBSLaura Barrón-López, to discuss it and even more: Leigh Ann Caldwell, the chief correspondent of Washington to Puck; Michael Scherer, editor The Atlantic; Ali Vitali, the host of Too early on MSNBC; Alexander Ward, national security journalist at The Wall Street Journal.
