YouTube Description
as posted by the channelHarry talks to Marty Lederman, the former Deputy Assistant Attorney General who authored an amicus brief with a legal discovery that has shaken the Administration’s attempt to deploy the National Guard to Chicago and other Democrat-led cities. Marty and Harry explain the critical oversight in the administration’s reasoning, and they think through what a bruising legal defeat would mean for the effort to put boots on the ground in American cities. It’s a possible game changer in a case Harry has called a “moment of truth for the High Court.”
