I'd like to hear more about the pendulum swing of democracy and how it stopped nazis from taking over Germany. Oh wait... did that not happen? Then I guess I'd like to know why the Hell you think these fascists who have yet to obey a court order will stop? What's it look like in 2 or 4 years? Bad.

I’d like to know about the Executive Authority position that Trump is taking. Do we need a constitutional amendment to clean up the language regarding Presidential authority?

As Trump is using DOJ and the courts to try to turn around decisions he doesn't agree with (just as he did in his businesses and private life) are there costs with these actions above DOJ's salaries, and if so, are they a significant amount of taxpayer money?

Why are BIG law firms folding without a fight against Trump’s threats? The latest EO against WilmerHale is clearly unconstitutional and easily argued, just like the other targets. Yet big law just acquiesces. What gives?

How can a SCOTUS ruling directed at trump if he refuses to comply be enforced. Other persons who would probably be subject to the ruling as well. So, perhaps trump could not be compelled to modify his behavior or ruling, but his underlings could. Could trump pardon them?

For example, one of my suppliers is raising my prices between 10 and 35% over tariffs. Do I have standing?

Just listened to your SOTU podcast w guests. What I didn’t hear were concerns about Trump getting pushback, and declaring a state of emergency to bulldoze through the “inconvenience”- and the response of his servile DOJ and USSC?

Can you tell us, from a legal standpoint, whether C. Shumer is correct, in that shutting down the govt. over the budget would allow them to take control of the govt entirely and do disastrous things without judicial oversight and redress?

Question from a close friend of the US: How on earth could the judicial processes fail so completely and utterly as in the last 4 years. How can it be that there are no firm guardrails? How can it be that apparently, you just need to ignore, delay to get away with crimes that are of some gravity?
