Together, they discuss the ability of judges to stop deportation arrests with their contempt powers, whether a future president and congress will make much needed changes to the SCOTUS, if the SAVE ACT ID requirement constitutes a poll tax, the pardon power of governors, the rights of minors under the law, the dangers of Trump using Mar-A-Lago as his war room, and how the 6th Amendment relates to allegations arising from the Epstein files.
