Ontario's cash bail law is unconstitutional – and Ford knows it. BUT "they deliberately undermine confidence in #courts, plow under the Charter and #civilliberties, and use real human suffering to manufacture a political grievance." https://www.canadianlawyermag.com/news/opinion/ontarios-cash-bail-law-is-unconstitutional-and-ford-knows-it/394586

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. -

#ToddBlanche’s confirmation hearing to become the 88th attorney general of the United States began with #Senate #Judiciary Committee #ChuckGrassley, #Republican of Iowa, welcoming him & giving opening remarks, followed by the tanking #Democrat on the committee, #DickDurbin of Illinois.
Durbin’s remarks were worth hearing, the rest not so much. Grassley’s were prebuttal & defensive, Blanche’s were all lies.
Sadly Durbin is retiring. He’s very good, but he is advanced in his years.

#SCOTUS Expands Trump’s #ExecutivePower Over #Immigration
The court handed #Trump victories in his push to rescind #deportation & for hundreds of thousands of people & turn away #immigrants at the southern border.

Suspending #HabeasCorpus was one of two radical ideas #StephenMiller had been pushing that alarmed Mr. Scharf. The other was invoking the #InsurrectionAct to deploy the #military to enforce the #law on #US streets as #protests grew against #deportation sweeps.
Scharf wrote confidential memos to Wiles on both topics….

The man who outlined his concerns in the memo, Mr. Scharf, was no resistance figure. A trim, balding, Harvard-trained lawyer who had run for office in Missouri, he had bemoaned John McCain as too moderate for the 2008 Republican nomination, & believed #Trump had been vindictively prosecuted after his 2020 election loss.

Scharf’s memo, in its unassuming way, was a blinking red warning light. The 2nd #Trump White House was deliberating an explosive new claim of #PresidentialPower: the suspension of habeas rights for unauthorized #immigrants.
The suspension of #HabeasCorpus has occurred just a handful of times in US history, & always under the most dire circumstances of #war or #invasion.

Dated April 29, 2025, & stamped “confidential,” the memo was careful & lawyerly but amounted to a warning against end-running the rule of #law. The subject line read: “THE WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS.”
#HabeasCorpus — the centuries-old right to force the government to justify, before a judge, why it has locked a person up — is enshrined in Article I of the #Constitution.

Last spring, Will Scharf, an arch-#conservative lawyer serving as the White House staff secretary, wrote a secret memo to the chief of staff that reflected growing unease in the West Wing about one of the extreme measures being weighed by #StephenMiller, the powerful adviser driving Trump’s #deportation campaign.

Secret memos show that the White House debated last year, to a greater degree than previously known, whether to limit #HabeasCorpus rights for undocumented #immigrants.

The legitimate object of government, is to do for a community of people, whatever they need to have done, but can not do, at all, or can not, so well do, for themselves — in their separate, and individual capacities. In all that the people can individually do as well for themselves, government ought not to interfere.
The desirable things which the individuals of a people can not do, or can not well do, for themselves, fall into two classes: those which have relation to wrongs, and those which have not. Each of these branch off into an infinite variety of subdivisions. The first — that in relation to wrongs — embraces all crimes, misdemeanors, and non-performance of contracts. The other embraces all which, in its nature, and without wrong, requires combined action, as public roads and highways, public schools, charities, pauperism, orphanage, estates of the deceased, and the machinery of government itself.
From this it appears that if all men were just, there still would be some, though not so much, need of government.Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) American lawyer, politician, US President (1861-65)

Congress Is Dropping the Ball with a #CleanExtension of #FISA
not considering a requirement to obtain a #warrant before looking at data on US persons that was indiscriminately & warrantlessly collected. #HouseSpeaker #MikeJohnson confirmed that “the plan is to move a clean extension of FISA … for at least 18 months.”

Hanging over the hearing was the legacy of #SCOTUS’ wave of rulings that have pared back #CampaignFinance restrictions over the years, including the 2010 #CitizensUnited v. FEC decision, which paved the way for unlimited independent expenditures by outside groups known as #superPACs.

Sen #DickDurbin from #Illinois gave a pointed opening statement prior to #PamBondi’s hearing, calling the #DOJ under her leadership a disgrace.
Bondi just straight up lied in her opening statement saying, “we have never defied a court order.”
Outrageous.
I’m old enough to remember the whistleblower who reported #EmilBove literally telling DOJ attorneys that they would need to tell the #judiciary “fuck you”.

2) 10 of 12 judges who spoke to NBC News said the Supreme Court should better explain those #rulings, noting terse #decisions leave #lower #court judges w little guidance for how to proceed. But they also have a new and concerning effect, the judges said, validating Trump administration’s criticisms. A short rebuttal from the Supreme Court, they argue, makes it seem like they did shoddy work and are #biased against Trump. #SCOTUS bending #law for #trump against #judiciary https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/supreme-court/supreme-court-trump-cases-federal-judges-criticize-rcna221775

#SCOTUS also rebukes Judge Hendrix in the Western District of #Texas & the ultra-conservative #FifthCircuit for refusing to act on the #ACLU's emergency request, emphasizing that the facts on the ground showed that planes were set to take off — thus making Judge Hendrix' failure to act an appealable order.

From CNN:
“2 of President Donald Trump’s nominees for snr #Justice Dept positions – including his fmr personal atty [#Sauer] – deflected questions Wed from senators on whether they would adhere to all court orders against the administration.”

“…details vary by context, but poli scientist Elizabeth David-Barrett lays out 3 general mechanisms of #StateCapture. They now sound familiar:shaping the rules of the game thru #law & #policy; #influencing admin decisions by capturing the #budget, appts, govt #contracts & #regulatory decisions;& #disabling checks on #power by #dismantling #accountability structures like the #judiciary, law enforcement & prosecution, & audit institutions like #IGs & #media.”

it's that.If any UK book botherers want to enlighten me, please do.
Thank you for exactly zero legal advice in advance.I will not be relying on it at all. (And frankly am at non-zero chance of forgetting it soon after.)
It is my understanding I'll maintain the same status but lapsed proof.
It is my experience and expectation that I'll become undocumented, and therefore human scum [sic].

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.

…the #CitizensUnited ruling… upended nearly 100 years of #CampaignSpending #restrictions.
The #conservative #legal movement seized the moment w/greater success than any other group, & the consequences have shaped American #jurisprudence & #politics in dramatic ways.
From those early discussions among #Leo, #Thomas & #Crow would spring a billion-dollar force that has helped remake the #judiciary & #overturn longstanding legal #precedents on #abortion, #AffirmativeAction & many other issues.
