What are the biggest legal challenges facing Trump's second term?
Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at noon east. Hey, everyone. I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show and happy Friday. Yay, we made it. Later today, Mike Solana is back with me in studio. I'm really looking forward to that. I really liked him the last time. But we begin today with our legal eagles, our top legal team on Lawfare 2.0. The biggest obstacles to Trump's second term agenda have not come from Congress or the media. They have come from the courts, judges slapping down injunction after injunction after injunction. These are nationwide injunctions that stop the Trump agenda in its tracks. They have blocked Trump's executive order ending birthright citizenship. That one. That that can be forgiven. That's a big one.
OK, but they have been out of control on virtually every one of his executive orders. They've paused the ban on trans individuals in the military, saying, I guess they're the commander in chief now. Trump's not. They have halted his deportations of Venezuelan gang members under the Alien Enemies Act. Those cases have raised fascinating legal and political questions. And there are so many others that they have said they've tried to stop him on his DEI agenda, on his on his gender agenda, on cleaning up our federal employee ranks and firing dead weight. I mean, you name it, they've stopped it. And this appears to be how we're going to be living for the next four years. The only question is whether the Supreme Court is going to start doing its job and sending a message to the lower courts that no one elected them to do anything. Literally nobody elected federal district court judges. And they're not the president. And they have a role. Absolutely. They have a role in when there's overreach. But in certain lanes, they actually don't.
Courts are not allowed to decide, quote, political questions. Political questions from the dawn of time have been left to the other branches because those political branches are directly answerable to us. So if they screw up a political question, we will fire their asses. But we cannot fire federal district court judges. They have lifetime tenure. And so that's just part of why it's been so controversial what they've been doing to stop Trump. I mean, the whole Trump second presidency in its crib. Joining me now to debate, Dave Ehrenberg, former state attorney general, state attorney, I should say, for Palm Beach County, Florida, and now managing partner of Dave Ehrenberg Law, as well as a frequent contributor to the Legal AF YouTube channel. And Mike Davis, founder and president of the Article 3 Project. He lives his life saying Legal AF. That's his core motto. You can see Dave on MSNBC.

OK, I'm so happy to see you. So we've got to kick it off with the trend to Aragua deportations. And yesterday there was this hearing on in the court of Judge Boasberg, which is in the D.C. federal district court. And he's trying to decide whether the Trump administration committed contempt of court because a month ago after Trump put. three plane loads of suspected Venezuelan gang members on planes, at least one plane of which had already been ordered to be removed by a federal district judge, and said, get out of here. You're going to El Salvador. The ACLU ran into court, said, Judge Boasberg, Judge Boasberg, please stop it. It's unconstitutional. And he said... You know what? It might be.
