The Ghost Who Keeps Signing by Lawson Akhigbe
The Land Use Act of 1978 vested radical title to land in the state governor. Customary authorities were meant to operate within that framework, not around it. Yet when the formal system becomes a source of frustration rather than facilitation, human ingenuity finds other routes. Enter the late Oba. His name carries historical weight. The palace, however, maintains no functional modern archive capable of systematic verification. Oral history is the dominant method, and most of the original participants are no longer available for cross-examination. The result is a paper trail that is difficult to audit and easy to exploit.https://lawakhigbe.com/2026/08/29/the-ghost-who-keeps-signing-by-lawson-akhigbe/

By late Thursday, the admin informed the court that it wouldn’t proceed with changes at the #KennedyCenter before Oct 8 to allow Judge Cooper more time to consider the case.
…Cooper ruled in May that Trump’s name was added to the building illegally, ordering it to be removed.
#Trump & his allies, however, have refused to let that be the final word.

Mayers responded that the timeline was in accordance with a vote earlier this month by the #Trump aligned board. As he returned to his arguments that renovations at the #KennedyCenter require energy & talent, Cooper interjected again.
“That’s all fine & good,” the judge said. “What does that have to do with what #Congress intended in these statutes? That’s really what’s before me.”

Just seconds after the Trump admin’s lawyer, Brantley Mayers, began making his case at a nearly 2-hour hearing, US District Court Judge Christopher Cooper interrupted to ask why the center needed to begin inscribing Trump’s name on the institution’s facade as soon as Sept 8.
“What’s magic about that date?” Cooper asked….

Uncounted in Life, Unrecorded in Death: Nigeria’s Costly Dignity Deficit By Lawson Akhigbe
here is an old, bitter administrative joke in Nigeria that you are only formally counted twice: never when you arrive, and certainly not when you leave. In between, your existence is largely an unverified rumor negotiated between your creator, your luck, and whatever age declaration affidavit you paid a court clerk two thousand Naira to stamp. -
IS Responds to Military Pressure in Nigeria
Despite Nigeria's assessment, the emerging consensus was that Lakurawa was not a unified entity but rather an umbrella term, and that attacks attributed to the group were likely perpetrated by a mix of Islamic State Sahel Province (ISSP). JNIM, bandits. and potentially a separate new group operating under the label without claiming responsibility.https://lawakhigbe.com/2026/07/25/is-responds-to-military-pressure-in-nigeria/

The proposal takes aim at the actions of #bar associations & similar professional organizations, not government entities, that investigate alleged #unethical conduct by #lawyers & consider actions such as #disbarment, which involves revoking a #license to practice #law [cuz, yeah, sane humans believe Rudolph Giuliani should still have legal authority /s].

#Republican #House #Judiciary Committee members are going to focus on things like #CassidyHutchinson & the #subpoenas for #Congress members’ phone logs, because if they let #JackSmith get into the actual #evidence he gathered against #Trump, it will be damning.

US Dist Judge Georgia Alexakis heard testimony 2 eks ago about what happened after the Oct 4 incident in Brighton Park, which led to a standoff between protesters and federal agents who deployed #PepperSpray balls & #TearGas into the crowd.
Solicitor General John Sauer has also pointed to it while arguing #SCOTUS should let #Trump deploy #NationalGuard troops to #Chicago [these Trump attys🙄].

Other new #immigration “fees”:
- $250 bond for ALL nonimmigrant #visa applicants
- $550 for “parole” work permits
- $1,500 fee for applying to adjust status to get a #GreenCard before a judge.
The bill would also dramatically increase immigration #enforcement #funding.
$45B for #ICE #detention, assuming $4.5B/year, that would be nearly a 250% annual increase to the current $3.4 detention budget.

The prohibitive fees continue:
2 "fees" are actually penalties:
- $5,000 "fee" for being ordered deported for missing a court hearing.
- $5,000 "fee" for being an inadmissible *alien* apprehended between ports of entry.
This new fee is grotesque:
- $500 for any Special Immigrant Juvenile [#SIJ] Status application — these are abused, abandoned or neglected kids, ya think they have $500?

More prohibitive #immigration“fees” — these are just for trying to defend your status in #court:
- $100 fee for ANY continuance (except in "exceptional” circumstances)
- $1,050 fee for ANY waiver application
- $900 fee for all appeals except bond (currently $100)
- $1,500 fee for non-Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR) cancellation (currently $100)

Crazy
At the end of the #House #Judiciary reconciliation bill, there are 2 major restrictions on the judiciary & #litigation:
First, as noted above, it bans judges from enforcing #contempt unless there was an FRCP 65(c) bond (rare in #CivilRights suits). Obviously aimed to stop Judges like #Boasberg & #Xinis, among others.
Second, they would bar money damages in settlements. [see pic]

It also declares—not coincidentally as #Trump is facing dozens of #TROs & injunctions:
"No #court of the United States may use appropriated funds to enforce a #contempt citation for failure to comply with an #injunction or #TemporaryRestrainingOrder”

The #JimJordan led #House #Judiciary Cmt has now released their reconciliation bill.
In addition to #immigration measures, it transfers ALL #FTC #antitrust actions to the US #AttorneyGeneral [currently #PamBondi], among other antitrust provisions.

#Durbin …has also forged close relationships w/some #Republicans, including Sen #ChuckGrassley of Iowa, who has been chairman of the #Judiciary Cmte in periods when Durbin was the top #Democrat.
The two pushed a #criminal #justice overhaul that overcame Republican resistance to be signed into #law by #Trump during his first term, leading to the early release of thousands of prisoners who had their sentences recalculated.
-
…A longtime force on the #Judiciary Cmte, Mr. #Durbin became its chair in 2021, resisting calls from progressives that he make room for a younger member given his leadership role & other #legislative responsibilities.
He subsequently oversaw the confirmation of 235 federal #judges during the Biden admin—including one #SCOTUS justice—surpassing by one the number of judges confirmed by #Republicans during an aggressive push in #Trump’s first term.
-
Interesting take from Evan Bernick:
Nobody should think that Judge #Xinis is ensuring that #KilmarAbregoGarcía stays in #ElSalvador for 2 weeks.
Xinis is banking on the government not wanting to spend 2 weeks in #discovery.
Either they just make the call & get him back, or they spend 2 weeks creating a public record of their own fuck ups & end up getting sanctioned.
I also seriously doubt any of #Trump’s ofcls want to give sworn #depositions.

Although fears of a #politicized #US #judiciary date back to the fights between the Federalists & the Jeffersonian Republicans in the very early days of the republic—& although they have reemerged at just about every important moment of #social or #political #change—Americans in the modern era have generally assumed that #judges appointed to the highest courts will act in #GoodFaith.

First He Went After #AnitaHill. Now He’s Coming for #ClarenceThomas. As a young #conservative, #DavidBrock smeared Hill, who accused the #SupremeCourt #justice of #sexualharassment. Now, in a new book, Brock is denouncing Thomas and the court’s rightward tilt — and contending with his own complicated past. #MAGA #LeoLeonard #corruption Constitution #SCOTUS #federalistsociety #GOP #judiciary #courts #legalresearch #politics https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/16/books/review/david-brock-stench-clarence-thomas-anita-hill-media-matters.html

The #UnitedStates #SupremeCourt’s acute #hostility toward #GunSafety #laws faced more criticism from w/in the #judiciary on Wed when the #Pennsylvania Supreme Court sharply criticized recent precedents expanding the right to bear arms. In a 4–1 ruling, the PA #court upheld local #restrictions on #ShootingRanges—& urged #SCOTUS to reconsider its embrace of a #radical, dangerous interpretation of the #SecondAmendment.

The #AssaultWeaponsBan expired in 2004. After the mass killing at #SandyHook Elementary School in 2012, in which 20 first-graders & 6 adults were gunned down, #Feinstein spearheaded an unsuccessful effort to renew the #law.
#Biden, who recruited her to serve on the #Senate #Judiciary Cmte, called her “a pioneering American. …There’s no better example of her skillful legislating & sheer force of will than when she turned passion into purpose, & led the fight to ban assault weapons.” -
The proceedings pitted #AnitaHill, a fmr colleague of #ClarenceThomas’s who also was #Black, against an all-#male, all-#White Senate #Judiciary Cmte that, in the view of many #women, did not engage respectfully with Hill’s allegations that Thomas had #SexuallyHarassed her.
“Every woman that watched that changed,” #Feinstein told the New York Times in 2018. “I think change happened at that moment.”
-
By the city’s succession laws, #Feinstein was elevated to mayor, an office she held for 9yrs before losing a bid for California governor in 1990. 2 yrs later, she won election to the #Senate, where she rose to become chairwoman of the #Intelligence Cmte & the top #Democrat on the #Judiciary Cmte. During >3 decades in office, she delivered muscular support as well as withering criticism of the #CIA, helped mold the #FederalBench, & championed an #AssaultWeaponsBan….
