Season 2 Episode 231 | 26m 46s

The U.S. military is sworn to serve the Constitution, but that’s getting complicated under the current administration. Now the President is threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act. What difference would that make? Laura’s guests are U.S. House Representative Pramila Jayapal and Marine veteran Janessa Goldbeck, who say it’s time to reject authoritarianism and uphold the Constitution.
