Episode notes
DeSantis Enforces Immigration Law
- Ron DeSantis enforces immigration laws by deporting illegal immigrants from Florida using "Alligator Alcatraz."
- This proactive stance infuriates Democrats who oppose strict immigration enforcement.
Limited Presidential Immunity Explained
- The Supreme Court grants absolute immunity only for core presidential duties, but not for peripheral acts, which have "presumptive immunity."
- This means presidents can be investigated if actions fall outside legitimate responsibilities.
