As the wagons circle in
the White House administration to protect Trump from being impeached, a deeper
look at Attorney General William Barr’s drive to defend Trump reveals how
religion drives him. Author, Katherine Stewart, and president emeritus of the American Constitution Society, Caroline Fredrickson, wrote the New
York Times op-ed “Bill Barr Thinks America Is Going to Hell: And he’s on a mission to use the ‘authority’ of the executive branch to stop it.” They join me on the
show today to talk about how Barr is putting his form of “religious liberty”
above the law.
Since we last spoke
with John Nichols of The Nation a lot has
happened from the assassination of Gen. Qassim Suleimani, escalating tensions
between the US and the Middle East, and Julian Castro dropping out of the presidential
race. John returns to the show today to talk all about these issues and
whole lot more, John is The Nation’s national-affairs
correspondent, a contributing writer for The Progressive and In
These Times and the associate editor of The Capital Times,
the daily newspaper in Madison, Wisconsin.
