Why would Secretary Mayorkas want to do away with the Judiciary? Why would he want to subvert laws written by this body, the Congress?

I think if we want to blame somebody else for your leadership mistakes at that time, I think that's a false narrative.

We continue to pay the price around the world with the perceived weakness of America.
