On this week's episode of 'The Saturday Show with Jonathan Capehart': Pushing legal limits.

On this week's episode of 'The Saturday Show with Jonathan Capehart': The Opposition. From the court of public opinion to the judiciary itself, the pushback against President Trump's war on the rule of law is growing, including at the Supreme Court, which early this morning, blocked the Trump Administration from carrying out more deportations under the Alien Enemies Act, for now.
