Why did Congress not pass a law that matched the law that was passed in the post in the Reconstruction era?

Right.

That was actually the op-ed by two law professors this week who suggested that Congress should pass something called the Renee Good Civil Rights Act, basically to account for the gaping hole that exists in our judicial system, which makes it very impossible, I should say, in this day and age to sue federal officers for wrongdoing.

I mean, so that would just be an act of Congress.

So simple, so easy, Leah.

Oh, my Lord.

Okay.

I mean, that then gets me to a sort of a big question here, because you've said to a number of answers, you have invoked the highest court in the land, the Supreme Court.

And I think the lowest court in my estimation, but seriously, girl preach.

for a long time it's felt like the courts have been the bulwark against the Trump administration, right?

Especially in the immediate aftermath of inauguration day, right?

They're preventing executive overreach, the hollowing out of federal agencies, but that I think thinking that the courts are always there as a fail safe doesn't really hold up.

I mean, New York, New York times report recently found that, that Trump's the, the appellate judges that he has picked are,

have ruled in his favor 112 times compared to the 13 times they have ruled against him.

So give me your big picture analysis on how the courts are functioning here in terms of where they've slowed or blocked his agenda and where they've ultimately given him a hall pass.

In the after times when he's no longer president and there's a truth and reconciliation committee and we begin to rebuild our democracy.

You'll hear a little bit more from Leah in one quick sec.

But first, on the latest episode of my show, Runaway Country, I interview Michael Moore, the former chief of police for the L.A.

Police Department.

He offers some very interesting and I'm going to say controversial perspective on how law enforcement is looking at the events of last week and understanding what exactly happened to Renee Nicole Good.
