Part 1:We talk with Michael Tomasky, editor, The New Republic.We discuss Trump's work against the Western Alliance (NATO and associated countries). Unfortunately, very few mechanisms exist to check his actions, especially in light of the fealty of the Supreme Court. Polls seem to have no meaning.Part 2:We talk with Erin M. Carr, Asst. Prof. lf Law, Seattle School of Law.We discuss the extensive use of the "shadow docket" of the Supreme Court to make its rulings, favoring Trump. The Court is doing "sane-washing" of his claims, no matter how they conflict with established law and the Constitution.  WNHNFM.ORG  production
