Trump Targets Judge as Musk Faces Legal Scrutiny | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

In a recent court filing, Justice Department lawyers argue that U.S. District Judge James Boasberg has overstepped by interfering with the president's discretion in handling sensitive diplomatic and national security matters. Boasberg issued an order temporarily preventing the administration from deporting migrants under an 18th-century law that President Trump cited to justify the removals. President Trump has now called for the impeachment of Judge James Boasberg. Supreme Court Justice John Roberts recently made a rare statement pushing back against Trump and his allies for supporting the impeachment of judges whose rulings oppose the administration’s positions. Lastly, a federal judge recently ruled that Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) likely exercised unconstitutional authority in multiple instances while dismantling the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). This decision is significant, as it is the first time a court has suggested that Musk’s level of authority may require Senate confirmation under the Appointments Clause of the Constitution. Thomas Berry, Director of the Cato Institute’s Robert A. Levy Center for Constitutional Studies and Editor-in-Chief of the Cato Supreme Court Review, joins to discuss whether Boasberg possesses the authority to make these decisions and what recourse he might have. He shares what more the courts could do to compel the administration to comply. Lastly, he shares his thoughts on Elon Musk's potential exercise of unconstitutional authority. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
