Or I'm trying to mask myself because I'm a criminal. And, you know, the camera can't detect who I am. So there's all kinds of... things like that.

So we all have to have shorthand for dealing with people.

It is really problematic because we have, I think, lost that separation of powers. Separation of powers means that there are certain aspects of what the president does regarding the border and protecting our country that are just non-judiciable by judges, now micromanaging. There was no due process to bring criminal aliens into our country.

but they're supposedly individualized due process required on the way out. That is, I think, incorrect. I will put it mildly. And so there's a lot of that. What's the answer to that? I think all lawyers are holding their breath to see what the answer to that is. There's a tension between our three branches of government as to what happens next.

Yes, because that has been a tension going on where Democrats have said they didn't like what the Supreme Court is doing and threatened to pack the court and defund the court and all of that. And then now, all of a sudden, when judges are ruling the way they like, oh, you know, we must respect whatever a federal judge says, well...

You know, nationwide injunctions are an issue that the court could reach that are not. It's a non-sexy issue. It sounds boring. It sounds boring. Incredibly important that not every federal judge at the district court level gets to set a rule for the nation. Nobody elected that person.
