On CNN's Laura Coates Live, host Laura Coates confronted GOP analyst Scott Jennings regarding President Trump's ongoing criticisms of the judiciary. Coates highlighted fresh Pew Research polling data indicating that 78% of Americans believe the White House should abide by court rulings, a sentiment that grows to 88% when specifically referencing Supreme Court decisions. Jennings attempted to defend Trump's position, arguing that the president professes adherence to judicial decisions while also critiquing district judges for what he perceives as partisan stalling tactics. The exchange underscored a broader debate about the legitimacy and integrity of judicial authority in contemporary politics.
Is that a mistake? JENNINGS: Well, first of all, the president has said he will follow the Supreme Court's decisions. He has always said that about all of these cases.
COATES: Well, Scott, you know, I want to talk about the courts in addition to what we are seeing with the economy because the Pew research survey finding that 78%, Scott, of Americans say the administration has to follow a court's ruling.
