	Description:		Former President Barack Obama was back on the campaign trail, over the weekend, stumping for Democratic candidates in both Illinois and California -- while also taking a few veiled, and not-so-veiled, shots at the current office-holder. Speaking, Friday, at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, President Obama talked quite candidly about the current administration to supporters, almost bewildered when uttering, "We're sure as heck supposed to stand up, clearly and unequivocally, to Nazi sympathizers." The President continued, "How hard can that be? Saying Nazis are bad." On Saturday, in Anaheim, California, however, the former President struck a slightly more earnest and subdued tone -- calling on rally-goers to be weary of candidates and figures who promote and exploit the "politics of fear," instead of hope. Both stump speeches drew widespread acclaim from Democrats and Republicans, alike. Also making headlines, this morning, President Donald Trump is reportedly calling on Attorney General Jeff Sessions to investigate who exactly penned the anonymous op-ed published in the New York Times, last week, citing a national security threat. President Trump also floated the charge of treason as punishment for the piece's publication. And, later in the episode, we'll take a closer look at another contentious exchange between Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA) and Supreme Court Nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh. In this particular spat, Judge Kavanaugh repeatedly refused to answer Senator Harris' question regarding the President's, or Congress', power to bar a specific race from entering the country, based upon a Supreme Court case dating back to 1889. Kavanaugh cited "pending litigation" as justification for a lack of comment. It's Monday, September 10, 2018. Welcome to Morning Joe.
