4TR WEB EXTRA: Miller-Meeks addresses provision to weaken courts & potential town hall
Thanks for clicking on this Web Extra. We didn't have time to bring you all of Host Jim Niedelman's conversation with Iowa Congresswoman Mariannette Miller-Meeks on 4 the Record. Here we move away from the changes to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act to a small provision titled Restriction of Funds that's in the Republicans' budget proposal. It has to do with the power of the courts. Another provision is Section 70302 at the end of the immigration section. It essentially says the courts can't use government money to enforce a contempt citation for failing to comply with an injunction or temporary restraining order unless the plaintiffs put up a security bond up front to cover the expense of enforcement. That would basically enable the president and his team to ignore or defy court orders. Host Jim Niedelman brings back Representative Mariannette Miller-Meeks. 'As we learned when we made our trips to the border, people don't come back for their asylum hearing,' Miller-Meeks said. To hear more, click on the video.
