Can one judge overrule Trump? | About That

Last week, the U.S. Supreme Court took up one of President Donald Trump’s most controversial executive orders: ending birthright citizenship. But the case isn't as much about who has a right to citizenship, as it is about whether federal judges should have the power to block this policy -- and others -- using nationwide injunctions. Andrew Chang breaks down the arguments on both sides — and how the outcome could reshape the balance of power between the courts and the presidency.
