On Monday night,
President Donald Trump fired acting Attorney General Sally Yates for refusing
to comply with and enforce his legally questionable ban on Muslims from certain
countries and refugees from entering the country. The news of her abrupt dismissal is sending
shockwaves through Washington and causing many political observers and
operatives to question whether or not Trump has created a Constitutional crisis
and comparing his actions to former President Richard Nixon’s infamous
‘Saturday Night Massacre’. Joining me today to talk all about how it has only
taken ten days for the new Republican President to trigger Constitutional
crisis and his very own ‘Monday Night Massacre’ is John Nichols, National Affairs Correspondent for The Nation
Since we last spoke
with Mark Joseph Stern of Slate last week a lot has happened, from
President Trump banning Muslims and refugees from the country to his
announcement that he will let us know whom he plans to nominate for the vacant
seat on The Supreme Court . Mark returns to the show today to talk all about
these issues and so much more.
