Scott is joined by Jim Ostrowski of LibertyMovement.org to discuss the ongoing legal campaigns against Donald Trump. The news about Maine broke hours after recording, so Scott and Ostrowski focus on the ruling in Colorado. They also discuss some of the shortcomings of Trump’s first term.

Discussed on the show:

• “How Trump Plans to Wield Power in 2025” (New York Times)
• “Houthis and Saudis Commit to New Ceasefire and Roadmap for Peace” (Antiwar.com)

Jim Ostrowski is an author and constitutional lawyer. He runs LibertyMovement.org, where he teaches libertarians how to better their lives and communities without relying on electoral politics. Follow him on Twitter @JimOstrowski
