  • Jim Coogan--Is That Legal?
    Jul 11 2025

    Trump sues federal judges because he disagrees with their rulings. Ben riffs. Jim Coogan explains the difference between appealing a judge’s ruling you disagree with and suing the judge for making that ruling. One is constitutional. The other is not.

Jim is founding partner of Coogan Gallagher.
