To me, that tells you this was all about personal, not legal or policy. But in the meantime, Pablo, we're losing money for kids' lunches, for programs that pay farmers to grow food to go to food banks. to support low-income kids in our schools. At one point, they cut off something called the Sea Grant Program.

24 across the country, it supports local fishing communities and programs along the coastline. We were the only ones that were cut off. You don't want a system where one person can reach out and... take this kind of action. So it was a tell, as I say, when he said, we are the law, because I think that's what he thinks.

Well, there are really three guardrails, Pablo. The first is the Congress. And frankly, we're falling down on the job miserably. I keep talking to my Republican colleagues and say, you know, what's it going to take? And maybe this sending this guy to El Salvador and not making the slightest effort to get him back and essentially defying an order of not only the lower court, but the U.S.

Supreme Court. Pretty rare to get nine to nothing in the U.S. Supreme Court, by the way, these days. And so the Congress needs to step up. We could, for example, pull back the tariff power.

In other words, the Congress does have a role to play here if they'll play it. So far, they're not doing so. Myself and the Democratic side don't have the votes. There's a majority in the Senate and in the House that gives them the power of what happens in the Congress. The second line of defense, as you say, is the courts. And so far, the courts have been doing a pretty good job.
