The Clash of Executive and Judicial Power

The recent deportation of Tren de Aragua terrorists back to El Salvador sparked a greater controversy about judicial overreach, judicial activism, and executive power. Join Melissa Mackenzie and Scott McKay on this episode of The Spectacle Podcast as they inquire into the judicial branch with special guest Ron Coleman, a lawyer and host of the Coleman Nation podcast.

Melissa, Scott, and Ron discuss who’s involved in the issue — including federal Judge James Boasberg, who ordered Trump’s administration not to deport anyone on Saturday. Ron offers legal insight into the matter between Boasberg and Trump and joins Melissa in criticizing the politicization of the Supreme Court. Melissa, Ron, and Scott discuss the involvement of Chief Justice John Roberts and debate over his effectiveness during his Supreme Court tenure. They also highlight the importance of legislative action on the part of the Republicans to make lasting change. Tune in to hear their discussion!
