We had a five year anniversary of the attack on the Capitol last week.
What has it been like for you kind of looking back on your own coverage of these cases and where we ended up?
I think that's exactly right.
I mean, we have seen so many examples over and over again of the Trump administration and President Trump himself really pushing the bounds of what he can do and basically saying, you know, see you in court if you can make it happen.
Speaking of independent agency heads, obviously huge news broke over the weekend, which folks, especially folks listening to Marketplace, have heard by now about the Department of Justice opening a criminal investigation into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell.
What is your take on this case and what it tells us about how Trump is using the justice system?
Because as you said, I mean, we've really seen Republicans in Congress in particular stay very quiet for a lot of these moments where, as you said, Trump is sort of pushing the line or stepping over the line of what's constitutional and legal.
So we're talking about how Trump has been using the Justice Department and other legal avenues to kind of advance his agenda, but plenty of people are also using the justice system to push back against Trump's agenda.
How successful have these efforts been to stop Trump in court?
But even in a lot of these cases where they were losing at the district court level because they were appealing or sometimes even when they got a clear shutdown, they kept going with these policies.
Like, does it matter that they're losing?
All right, we're going to take a quick break, but we will be right back.
We are back with Politico's Kyle Cheney.
And I want to talk a bit more about the Supreme Court.
What has the relationship between the court and the Trump administration been like over the past year?
And since you like the word arc, how has that arc changed?
I have to say those oral arguments for the tariff case were absolutely wild.
