Maggie also critiques the Supreme Court's recent decisions affecting due process rights, warning of the potential implications of martial law under Trump. She emphasizes the court's troubling stance on the Alien Enemies Act, which sidesteps due process for non-citizens, and warns of a broader erosion of democratic freedoms in the U.S.
