YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Trump has been enabled by a Supreme Court that seems completely under his spell – and it feels like nothing legal is going to block him. Christian Farias, who writes about law and the courts for Vanity Fair, New York magazine and the New Yorker, joins Jarv and Chris to discuss Trump’s legal recklessness and what it means for America.
