A Farewell to the Judiciary + A Conversation With Nick Akerman
Manage episode 472544435 series 3524803
Today on Mea Culpa, I welcome back Nick Akerman, former federal prosecutor, Assistant Special Watergate Prosecutor, and the Assistant United States Attorney in the SDNY, where he specialized in white-collar crime. We break down Trump’s escalating attacks on the judiciary, including his push to impeach Judge James Boasberg and Chief Justice Roberts’ rare public rebuke. Nick explains how Trump’s efforts to undermine judicial independence mirror authoritarian regimes and what legal safeguards remain to check his power. We also discuss Trump’s violations of court orders in deportation cases, the dangers of his expanded executive authority, and the legal battles ahead as he attempts to reshape the government in his image.
