This Nation’s Historical Tradition of …
Trump v. Wilcox on application for stay was granted. It was a 6-3 opinion. The usual suspects were on the wrong side of history, again. Justice Kagan wrote the dissent. For 90 years, Humphrey’s Executor v. United States, 295 U. S. 602 (1935), has stood as a precedent of this Court. And not just any…

Universal Injunction and Justice Sotomayor
Justice Sotomayor used to be the least talented Justice on the Supreme Court. Ketanji Brown Jackson said, “Hold my beer!” and took that title. During the oral arguments, Sotomayor asked: So, when a new president orders that because there’s so much gun violence going on in the country and he comes in and he says,…

A.A.R.P v Trump, 605 U.S. ___(2025) No. 24A1007
I wasn’t expecting this opinion this quickly. The Supreme Court heard oral arguments on the 15th, they issued their opinion on the 16th. It is only 24 pages long. This case has many concurrent issues running through it. It is important to focus on what the opinion actually does, how it does it, and what…

Court Games
Judge Boasberg is a rogue judge. He has found himself as the judge of many cases dealing with Trump. For some reason, the magic lottery machine picks his name at “random” when the case involves Trump. While it is true that you should never attribute to malice that which can adequately be explained by stupidity,…

United States, Et al. v. shilling, Commander, Et Al. 24A1030
There is a battle of procedure that takes place in our courts. That is getting to a final result. If the Supreme Court were to rule in favor of Trump in December 2028, it would not matter that he won. We would have lost. That would be four years of waiting for a final result.…

United States v. Dugan, 2:25-mj-00397, (E.D. Wis. Apr 24, 2025)
All references can be found at United States v. Dugan. In looking for a good image to use of the Judge, I found an article written in the third person by Hannah Dugan about how wonderful she is and all the good she has done, and that she will not answer any other questions. She…

“Facilitate” is not “Effectuate”
I’m saddened when I read the blog of somebody I respect, I’m looking at you Divemedic, gets it wrong because it is everywhere. The inferior district court judge has claimed (lied) that the Supreme Court agreed with him and that the Government had to “Facilitate the return of Abrego-Garcia”. The Supreme Court did not say…

A.A.R.P. v Trump, the follow up
In sum, literally in the middle of the night, the Court issued unprecedented and legally questionable relief without giving the lower courts a chance to rule, without hearing from the opposing party, within eight hours of receiving the application, with dubious factual support for its order, and without providing any explanation for its order. I…

A.A.R.P. v Donald J. Trump
Big news early Saturday morning, the Supreme Court “ordered Trump administration not to deport Venezuelans under Alien Enemies Act for now” — NPC News. Or did they? There is before the Court an application on behalf of a putative class of detainees seeking an injunction against their removal under the Alien Enemies Act. The matter…

J.G.G. v. TRUMP, 1:25-cv-00766, (D.D.C. Apr 16, 2025) ECF No. 81
The NPCs will have their marching orders by now. Yesterday it was “Trump is ignoring a 9-0 Supreme Court ruling that he return Garcia”, today it will be “Trump held in contempt of court.” Since I’m writing this yesterday, we’ll see how good I am at predicting the NPCs. We need to start on March…
