Good grief -- they are trying to make it so they can ignore court rulings with even more impunity, and are burying this within a 1000+ page bill. Time to raise holy hell with our Senators, since that's where this monstrosity goes next.

Trump will likely go ballistic that this 60 Minutes episode even aired, but we all need to see it. His stance on many issues has been along the lines of “I can interpret the Constitution however I want to, and I can deploy the DOJ to punish anyone who disagrees with me.”
