Well, first they admitted in court that he was wrongly detained and transported to El Salvador. They confessed it was an administrative error. In public now, they are saying that he was rightfully taken down there and they're making up various stories about him. But he's basically like a disappeared person.

4010.725

I mean, that's what happens in authoritarian societies where you'd get swept off the street and then taken to whereabouts unknown. So look, we have the problem that they still have a couple vote majority in the House and in the Senate. But we're going to do everything in our power to get him back, including sending other members down there to go and try to get in.

4039.734

But it's a lawless situation and we have to see to it that the Supreme Court's 9-0 decision is actually enforced. There's no argument. for what the administration has done here, none whatsoever, which is why you even had Thomas and Alito and the right wing on the court agreeing there's gotta be due process. Otherwise, we are living in an authoritarian police state.

This Is the Fight Democrats Need To Have

4064.554

If anybody can be swept off the street and just transported to a torturer's prison in another country, then all is lost because if they can do it to a non-citizen, they can do it to a citizen because the only way you can prove you're a citizen is if you have a hearing.

It's almost certainly unconstitutional. I mean, there was a form of punishment called banishment that existed in the colonial era where people would be banished from their community and exiled. And I suppose that's what they're talking about doing.

Pod Save America

This Is the Fight Democrats Need To Have

4114.414

The Supreme Court or any rational Supreme Court, I should say, would probably find that this violates the ban on cruel and unusual punishment in the Eighth Amendment. But in any event, it certainly violates due process to send anybody to a foreign prison or a domestic prison, for that matter, without due process, without a hearing. That's what due process means.

Pod Save America

This Is the Fight Democrats Need To Have

4136.812

And these are the two most beautiful words in the English language, because that's what stands between us and us. arbitrary dictatorial power. If anybody were to go down the road of trying to create foreign prisons for American citizens, it would have to be the United States Congress because we are the lawmaking power. So this is another constitutional principle that gets trampled in the process.

Pod Save America

This Is the Fight Democrats Need To Have

4162.95

It's not up to the president to just make up some idea of foreign prisons and start it. The Supreme Court said in the Steele seizure case in 1952, the president derives his powers from only two places. One, the Constitution. There's nothing in the Constitution that gives the president the right to do that. And two, an act of Congress authorizing the president to do it.

Pod Save America

This Is the Fight Democrats Need To Have

4184.246

And that, of course, has not happened either. So it's a violation of the separation of powers, a usurpation of congressional lawmaking power, and almost certainly a brutal violation of due process. and of the Eighth Amendment ban on cruel and unusual punishment.

Pod Save America

This Is the Fight Democrats Need To Have

4236.085

Not very, no. You know, we're living in something like a gangster state right now where people like Eric Prince think that they've got the right to take taxpayer resources to set up offshore prisons and justice systems or injustice systems that have nothing to do with the American rule of law and due process.

4260.438

So I imagine that they look at Guantanamo Bay as some kind of towering example of what they'd like to reproduce all over the world. We have to stop that, obviously, to prevent a slide into complete dictatorship. Look, Donald Trump is a convicted criminal. Could he be sent off to a foreign prison? You know, you're separating people from their families.

Pod Save America

This Is the Fight Democrats Need To Have

4287.152

You're separating people from their lawyers, implicating the right to counsel. And you're engaging in a form of punishment, banishment, which hasn't been seen for centuries, really.

4343.877

Well, that's right. You know, we should be talking about cutting off aid to El Salvador right now. The whole idea. that Bukele doesn't have any power to return an American prisoner who was sent to him under an agreement where he's getting paid $6 million by America is ridiculous. He's our legal agent in this dubious arrangement they've created. Of course he's got the power to return them.

This Is the Fight Democrats Need To Have

4372.874

So he and Trump are just acting like a couple of dictators having fun at the expense of A man's life and his family, and they want to be able to do that all over the place. So I like that idea. And it's a compliment to something that we need to be doing right now, which is engaged, engaging in far more work.

My response is we're going to beat them on all fronts. We're going to beat them on the tariffs, which were economically catastrophic for our country and for the world and utterly destabilizing of world trade and also lawless and unconstitutional outside of the president's powers. We're going to beat them on his massive assaults on the rights of federal workers and the civil service.

This Is the Fight Democrats Need To Have

4496.379

And we're going to beat them in court and in the court of public opinion on their assaults on the due process rights of people in America, whether they're citizens or non-citizens. In other words, we can't ration justice here. And this is why we need all hands on deck and everybody needs to be fighting at every turn, every battle. And, you know, a victory for one is a victory for all.

I mean, it's totally scandalous situation with the assault on free speech. It is like the Alien and Sedition Act period of the late 1790s, where the attack on immigrants became an attack on people considered political enemies of the government dissidents. And I'm very cheered by the tremendous support that she is getting and that all of these students are getting across the board here.

In fact, there are a lot of Jewish student groups who are coming out very strongly and speaking up for her and Mahmoud Khalil and others who are the subject of outrageous criticism. government harassment and retaliation simply because of their speech. They wrote an op-ed, they appeared at a rally.

This Is the Fight Democrats Need To Have

4617.186

And what's fascinating is unlike the hundreds of violent insurrectionists, Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, extremists who Donald Trump pardoned, people who violently assaulted police officers, none of these people engaged in any violence at all. Right. All they had done was to write an op-ed or to speak in a way that is officially disapproved by our new authoritarians in America.

This Is the Fight Democrats Need To Have

4645.138

So it's very important as a matter of civil liberties for everybody to speak up for them. And especially I've been moved over the last few days to see the Jewish groups coming out and saying, don't try to deport these people and destroy their lives and uproot them in the name of fighting anti-Semitism.

This Is the Fight Democrats Need To Have

4762.899

there are people who are being called anti-Semites simply for speaking out for a two-state solution and recognition of human rights on the Palestinian side and the Israeli side and the necessity for mutual security. I mean, that's just scandalous.

I think about what Jefferson said in that beautiful letter he wrote in 1798 to his friend John Taylor, who was expressing his consternation about what was going on in the country during that time. And Jefferson said, "...a little patience in the reign of witches shall pass over, their spells dissolve, and the people recovering their true sight restore their government to its true principles."

Everybody's got to summon up all of their institutional resources and personal courage to fight back as much as you can. And I'm very proud of Harvard, I got to say. And I'm speaking as a graduate of the college and the law school. And I spent a lot of my years in school fighting against Harvard because they refused to divest their money from Apartheid South Africa.

This Is the Fight Democrats Need To Have

4890.787

And they were just totally on the wrong side there. And I called them out. And I was ashamed that Harvard did not do the right thing and follow what Nelson Mandela and Bishop Tutu and the people struggling for freedom there were asking for. But I've got to say in this situation, I'm beaming with pride about Harvard standing up.

Look, Donald Trump spent a lot of time in real estate in New York City, a lot of time in casinos in Atlantic City. He knows what a mob shakedown is. This is a mob shakedown against the universities. It's a mob shakedown against the law firms, against lawyers. And he's seeing how far he can push it.

Pod Save America

This Is the Fight Democrats Need To Have

4929.616

And it's undoubtedly a terrifying thing for, you know, even big law firms to go through, even big universities to go through. But now is the moment when you get to prove why you're a lawyer. Now you get to prove why you're a college president or a university administrator. You can stand up for academic freedom. You can stand up for the Constitution. And these judges are proving why they're judges.

This Is the Fight Democrats Need To Have

4955.058

There are 78 preliminary injunctions. and temporary restraining orders right now against the lawlessness and the chaos unleashed by Donald Trump. And they're threatening judges. And you go online, you see all kinds of violent threats against judges. Justice Amy Coney Barrett's sister got a bomb threat.

This Is the Fight Democrats Need To Have

4972.737

There are other people on the Supreme Court and other judges who've received death threats that are taking place. And I've got colleagues who have wanted posters up outside of their offices in the Cannon House office building. These judges are wanted and they want to impeach them just for standing in Donald Trump's way.

4990.313

They never tell you, by the way, substantively what's wrong with a particular opinion.

This Is the Fight Democrats Need To Have

4994.497

Like what's wrong with the four opinions rendered against Donald Trump's attempt to nullify birthright citizenship in America? One from an Obama judge, one from a Biden judge, one from a Reagan judge, and one from a Bush judge. And the Reagan judge said, this is the easiest case I've decided in four decades on the bench. This is blatantly unconstitutional.

5014.502

The first sentence of the 14th Amendment reads, all persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the United States. Like, what don't you understand about that? You don't even have to be a lawyer. You just have to know how to read to get that. And these judges are just like over the top angry about what's going on.

Pod Save America

This Is the Fight Democrats Need To Have

5034.033

And yet they turn around and say there's something wrong with the judges. They're saying, well, we got to impeach them, I think. I mean, everybody in the administration, J.D. Vance, all of them. Trump tweeted about impeaching them. They say, this is a record number of court decisions against a president, a record number of injunctions against a president.

Pod Save America

This Is the Fight Democrats Need To Have

5053.603

Well, I think it's a hopelessly vague and abstract term. So when people say, are we in a constitutional crisis? I say we are experiencing an unprecedented impact. sweeping and comprehensive attack on the Constitution by the presidential administration.

Pod Save America

This Is the Fight Democrats Need To Have

5100.467

And so we have to defend every element of the Constitution, due process, equal protection, freedom of speech, the separation of powers, congressional powers, judicial independence, and so on. So, I mean, I suppose it's in the eye of the beholder. If it feels like a crisis to you, it's a crisis. But the point is, it's under attack, and we've got to defend it.

Well, I believe that Heather Mazier got, I think it was a 54 to 46 in the first district of Maryland. So we're closing in on the target. There are a lot of people from my district in Montgomery County, in the DC area, in the Baltimore area, moving to the Eastern Shore in retirement. And there's an incredible new Eastern Shore indivisible group that I met with

So we don't give up on any congressional district or any state legislative district. We won that great state Senate race in Pennsylvania that nobody expected us to win the Wisconsin race. And even in Florida, we were disappointed that we didn't win those two House seats. But we went up 15 or 16 points, which then builds for the future. So no good act is wasted in this process.

Well, let's just say that because we're experiencing an authoritarian, attempted authoritarian takeover of American society, the job has changed, right? There were people on all sides who thought the job is you stay in touch with your constituents and you go and you push a red button or a green button and that's your job. That's not our job anymore. We are organizers.

5272.592

We are organizers and we've got to be leaders of a nationwide popular movement to arrest the dissent into fascism in America.

And, you know, if you if you listen to their intellectual guru, Curtis Yarvin, he did an interview with The New York Times about a month ago where he said the American people have got to get over their fear of the word dictatorship. He said, the corporations are just dictatorships of the CEO.

5311.737

And just like we have CEOs dictatorships in the private sector, we need to have a dictator for the government. And by the way, that dictator does not serve the people.

It's not enough just to go and cast our votes and to write a monthly newsletter. We've got to be involved seven days a week in the struggle to defend constitutional democracy in America. And when I say that. I believe constitutional democracy is not just a structure of laws and constitutional principles and practices.

Pod Save America

This Is the Fight Democrats Need To Have

5351.139

It is that, but it's more than that because constitutional democracy is always an unfolding and unfinished project. And if we're not moving forward, like Tocqueville warned in democracy in America, we're going to be lapsing back into some other autocratic or monarchical aristocratic form of government. We got to be moving forward. So, um, You know, you got to hand it to Donald Trump.

This Is the Fight Democrats Need To Have

5373.424

At least he's talking about Greenland and Canada and Panama. He's not talking about anything democratic. He's talking about taking them over like a dictator.

We need a constitutional amendment guaranteeing everybody a right to vote.

5395.033

We need to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. We can't be in a constant quicksand struggle against voter suppression tactics. And they're trying it again. for 2026 and 2028, and the SAVE Act, which would conceivably disenfranchise millions of American women, because you've got to show, when you go to the polls now, your birth certificate, your driver's license, or a passport.

5420.339

And if they don't match your birth certificate, then you've got to show your marriage certificate. And 80% of American women changed their last name.

So we've got to deal with that. So I just believe...

I'm kind of with John Dewey, who said that the only solution to the ills of democracy is more democracy. And what we're suffering from today is not democracy, but it's all of these attacks on it and all of these obstacles to it. But we do need to be not just legislative representatives today.

And the first challenge to that was 30 years later in 1898 in the Wong Kim Sum case. And the Supreme Court again emphatically said everybody born here is a citizen of the United States.

And here they, I think, are hoping to deliver a mini-victory to Donald Trump by saying they're going to wipe out nationwide injunctions by federal district courts, which would be a completely absurd and inefficient thing to do.

It just doesn't make any sense.
