#KennedyCenter Board Decides to Inscribe #Trump Name on Building
The vote to add “Restored and Renovated by President Donald J. Trump” is an aggressive test of a judge’s order to remove his name [& false since he’s done neither yet]

The salvo against #LisaCook is the 2nd time just this week that #Trump has restarted an effort to take actions that #SCOTUS blocked earlier this year. Trump earlier this week also issued another order attempting to limit #BirthrightCitizenship after the high court ruled against his previous effort to limit who is automatically considered a #US citizen.

Government by Vibes: Governor Okpebholo’s London Roadshow and the Cost of Governing Without Institutions by Lawson Akhigbe
His administration, he argued, is practical rather than bureaucratic. It is interested in action, not process. The legacy programmes of his predecessor, Godwin Obaseki, have largely been dismantled. EdoBEST has gone. The Security Control Centre has gone. EdoGIS is going. Consultants have gone. Due process, one gathered, has become something to be viewed with suspicion rather than embraced as the machinery through which modern government functions. -

The justices ruled in the case of former #FTC member #RebeccaSlaughter, whom #Trump fired WITHOUT cause despite a provision of #federal #law that requires a reason. The logic of the decision extends to other agencies, including the National Labor Relations Board, the Merit Systems Protection Board and the Consumer Product Safety Commission, where Trump also has fired board members.

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.

He had helped develop the #Trump team’s legal arguments behind the successful effort to get the Mar-a-Lago #ClassifiedDocuments indictment thrown out, as well as the arguments behind the presidential #immunity case that prevailed at #SCOTUS. He had embraced the most contentious elements of Trump’s agenda, but was quickly coming up against the limit of what the #Constitution, in his reading, could be made to bear.

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.

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.
