Thought leader, writer, lecturer and political activist, Stephen Rohde joins Sharon Kyle and Dick Price of the LA Progressive to discuss the perils we find ourselves facing with the current supremem court. Rohde maintains that throughout his rise to power, Trump has recruited obedient enablers to do his bidding. He says that Trump’s henchmen have compliantly cleared the way for him to lie, steal, and conspire to get whatever he wants.

The three, Stephen, Dick and Sharon discuss whether there is evidence to suggest that Trump has enlisted the six conservative Republican justices on the United States Supreme Court to grant him the freedom to brazenly break the law with absolute impunity. Rohde, who practiced law for almost 50 years and is a former president of the ACLU Foundation of Southern California, says while Trump is rolling out his authoritarian Executive Orders and dangerous new policies, it is important to understand exactly what the Court did and how Trump 2.0 will unfold without one of the traditional guardrails on which our democracy depends – the deterrent threat of criminal prosecution.
