  1. HuffPost: Senior Trump Official Using Government Account To Smear Sitting Federal Judges. “James Percival, general counsel for the Department of Homeland Security, posted a series of messages on social media last week dubbed ‘Worst of the Worst, District Judge Edition.’ … Percival names four U.S. district judges, identifies the Democratic presidents who appointed them and condemns their […]

    'I see everyday #politicians repeat like parrots #economic propositions they don't even start to understand, defending a model that a central #bank admitted was wrong over twelve years ago. ... The #Greens propose actual structural change and get labelled "communist" by people who have never read a balance sheet or a #Lenin text. The heterodox approach #predicted #2008, predicted the #housing #crisis, and predicted the current private #debt trap. The orthodox models predicted none of it ...'

    'The orthodox model was declared wrong by the Bank of #England in 2014. Their paper “#Money Creation in the Modern Economy” stated plainly: #banks do not lend out deposited #reserves in a multiplier chain. Banks create #deposits when they make #loans ...'

    (NZ's Social Credit Party got a Court to agree five decades earlier.)

    'The consequences are not theoretical or academic. When you worship the wrong model, you can’t do anything else than design the wrong #policy. You pretend not to see the #monopoly extracting over 6 billions from a #mortgage market they control 87% of. You don’t see that raising rates shift #income from #borrowers to banks and does not touch the supply of housing stock. You end up believing the #household metaphor is literal — that the Crown pockets are empty — when #NZ’s #Crown debt is 44% of #GDP...'

    (The OECD average is about twice that.)

    '... #Galileo was almost burned at stake for simply asking the #Inquisition #judges to look in the telescope. Same old, same old.'
    '.....
    'Gentlemen, it is clear cut #class #warfare, and the #vested interests are so encrusted in #society that they are winning. Remember that their main weakness is in numbers, they are damaging and literally #robbing the majority of us, of the New Zealand society and brainwashing many trees to think that voting for the axe is the #prudent, #family sensible thing to do. The only chance you have is when numbers talk. The #election is coming...'

  3. Two boot-licking #Trump-appointed #judges put forth the legal theory that their own branch of #government has no right checking the man who gave them their undeserved #judicial careers. Once upon a time judges would recuse themselves when faced with a conflict of interest, in Trump's #America double-dealing is the name of the game.

  4. So #Trump & #PamBondi are trying to sanction #Boasberg for sharing his expert opinion, one of the primary functions of a federal judge.

    Trump has called for Boasberg’s impeachment since March when he first ruled against the #deportations, & has continued to slander any judge who dares to rule against him…. The targeting of Boasberg is unfortunately par for the course now, as #judges will have to consider either capitulating to Trump or risking their safety, reputation, & livelihood.

  5. #PamBondi Takes Revenge on Judge #Trump Absolutely Hates

    The #DOJ is targeting Judge #Boasberg.

    Trump’s Justice Department is moving to retaliate against one of the federal #judges who stood up to Trump’s extrajudicial [illegal] #deportations.

  6. Anti-abortion attorneys ascend federal government ranks with Christian right legal training

    The conservative Christian law firm Alliance Defending Freedom’s expansive ties include  federal judges and most recently Speaker of the House

    The nonprofit law firm that helped Mississippi solicitor general Scott Stewart argue and win the #Dobbs case
    — the Alliance Defending Freedom
    — has worked for three decades to change laws to fit an explicitly #conservative #Christian worldview when it comes to reproductive and family issues,
    💥with a focus on ending legal abortion and limiting trans rights. 💥
    #ADF’s systematic strategy to effect generational changes, according to its website,
    includes 🔹targeted litigation and legal training. 🔹
    Constitutional legal experts who study the religious right say the anti-abortion movement’s best chance of keeping unpopular abortion bans on the books is through its growing 🔸network of conservative attorneys and judges 🔸cultivated by ADF and allied Christian law firms and law schools.
    ADF has employed and trained thousands of like-minded conservative Christian attorneys,
    some of whom have climbed the highest rungs of power,
    including new U.S. Speaker of the House #Mike #Johnson (R-Louisiana) and several federal appellate #judges, state house #representatives, a former #attorney #general, and a conservative New York Times #opinion #columnist.

    Some of ADF’s trainees have gone on to #clerk for #Alito and fellow conservative Justice Amy #Coney #Barrett, according to a recent New Yorker report.
    “They know that their ideology is unpopular, and in many cases, anti-equality or even downright unconstitutional,”
    constitutional attorney Andrew L. Seidel told States Newsroom, about ADF.
    (He is the vice president of strategic communications for the progressive group Americans United for the Separation of Church and State and has written books about the religious right movement. )
    🔥“They are trying to build up these networks to capture the courts, to capture the legal professions.
    👉Because they can’t win otherwise.”
