Trump goes to war with the law

The chief justice of the US Supreme Court has issued a stinging rebuke to Donald Trump's demand to impeach a judge who ruled against his administration's controversial deportation of migrants.

Judge James Boasberg ordered a stop to the transfer of accused gang members to El Salvador. That ruling that was ignored, and Trump branded him a "troublemaker and agitator" who should be removed. In a rare statement, Justice Roberts insisted that impeachment was "not an appropriate response" to the disagreement, and it has led to unease in some Republican circles about the erosion of the authority of the judiciary.

The White House has also been targeting commercial law firms who have worked on cases that have cast Trump in a bad light. How far will the Trump administration push this war on the law? We speak to Gregg Nunziata, Executive Director of the Society for the Rule of Law, and former advisor to Marco Rubio.

Later, Chuck Schumer feels the heat for splitting with the House Democrats and allowing a vote on a Republican spending plan in order to avoid a government shutdown. A small but growing number of Congressmen are now calling for Schumer to step aside as Senate Minority Leader - where does the party go now?
