Discussion on Democracy and Executive Orders with Representative Negus

Published | Video Starts at 05:42

Whether Congress can step up and reassert itself as a co equal branch of government, whether the judiciary will continue to be impartial and independent and survive the attacks that the Trump administration is lodging against it. I mean, just yesterday, I was on the floor of the House here in Washington debating a bill that Republicans have put forward to try to restrict the ability of district judges to issue injunctions nationwide. Right. And they had no complaints about this, of course, when President Biden was in office. But now that you have judges who are ruling that President Trump's actions are unconstitutional, they are eager to change the rules completely. (05:42–05:53)
