  1. "The Department of Government Efficiency’s cancellation last year of the majority of ffederal #humanities #grants, including to several #Jewish projects, was #unlawful and #unconstitutional, a federal judge ruled Thursday.

    In her 143-page ruling, U.S. District #Judge #ColleenMcMahon called out the agency created by #President #DonaldTrump specifically for its targeting of Jewish projects, including #Holocaust #research.

    “At a time when the specter of #antisemitism has reemerged from the shadows, for our Government to deem a project about #Jewishwomen disfavored because it centered on ‘Jewish cultures’ and ‘female’ voices is deeply troubling,” wrote #McMahon, who was appointed by President #BillClinton in 1998. She was referring specifically to a canceled “project on Jewish #women subjected to slave labor during the Holocaust.”

  6. White House quickly embraced new records-preservation policy his #DOJ deemed a #presidential records #law #unconstitutional, dismissing decades-old requirements in favor of discretionary guidelines. DOJ opinion April 1 declared Presidential Records Act exceeded #Congress powers. All of Executive Office of the President received an email from #WH counsel instructing them to follow a new No records preservation policy = do not secure and archive each/every email, letter, report, meeting, document.

  11. The #Trump admin’s abrupt declaration that the federal #law governing presidential records for the past 48 yrs is #unconstitutional is creating confusion about access to records of past presidencies, including documents that are on the verge of public release.

    The memo from the #DOJ Office of Legal Counsel, which challenges the #PresidentialRecordsAct, is intended to give #Trump the legal leeway to #destroy White House #records from his current term.

  12. The felon POTUS and rest of GOP and MAGA trash conveniently forget that the only country in NATO to ever invoke article 5 was the US! And all members responded and helped in Afghanistan and Iraq. They have NO OBLIGATION to participate in an illegal war started by two war-criminals.

  14. Paul Weiss & 2 other #LawFirms named by the #FTC on Friday — Skadden Arps & Latham & Watkins — reached deals with the White House to void or sidestep such orders, pledging millions of dollars in free #legal work to mutually-supported causes with the #Trump admin.

    The FTC's list also includes WilmerHale & Perkins Coie, which filed successful lawsuits challenging Trump's executive orders last year as #unconstitutional.

  15. The chief federal judge in Minnesota ordered the head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement to appear in court on Friday
    to explain why he should not be held in contempt
    for violating court orders.

    The order by Judge Patrick J. Schiltz
    — which he acknowledged was “an extraordinary step”
    — adds to the administration’s legal fights

    while it also faces public and political pressure over the aggressive tactics of its agents,
    who have shot and killed two U.S. citizens in Minneapolis in three weeks.

    Trump shook up the leadership of the Minnesota enforcement operation on Monday
    by planning to pull its director of on-the-ground enforcement,
    Gregory Bovino, according to two U.S. officials.

    That came after two days of outrage over the killing of Alex Pretti,
    who was shot and killed by federal agents over the weekend.

    Trump said he was sending #Tom #Homan, his border czar,
    to oversee the operations and that Mr. Homan would report directly to him.

    ⭐️The order by Judge Schiltz, issued late Monday,
    summons the ICE acting director
    #Todd #Lyons to appear before him on Friday and explain why he should not be held in contempt for violating court orders arising from the Trump administration’s crackdown.

    “The court’s patience is at an end,” he wrote.

    But the judge did give Mr. Lyons an out:
    👉He said he would cancel the hearing if ICE quickly released an immigrant whom he said had been wrongly detained by agents.

    The crackdown has prompted a flood of legal challenges,
    including from state and local officials
    ⚠️who asked another federal judge on Monday to declare that the surge of some 3,000 immigration agents had effectively become an #unconstitutional #occupation.

    The Trump administration also defended itself on Monday at a hearing over the state’s effort to investigate the death of Mr. Pretti.

    The shooting of Mr. Pretti
    — who was killed while being pinned down by agents, according to videos of the encounter
    — sparked outage across the political spectrum,
    including among some Republicans who have called for the Trump administration to change course.

    Trump met on Monday with #Kristi #Noem, the homeland security secretary, and #Corey #Lewandowski, her top aide, in the Oval Office for more than two hours,
    according to two people briefed on the meeting.

    The president did not suggest in the meeting that Ms. Noem and Mr. Lewandowski were at risk of losing their jobs, those people said.

    But it was another sign of Trump’s concern about the reaction to the killing of Mr. Pretti and the fatal shooting of another Minneapolis resident, Renee Good, by a federal agent on Jan. 7.

  16. "Část Nejvyššího soudu jednala zjevně protiústavně, protože povinnost vyhlásit rozsudek veřejně plyne přímo z ústavy a je bezvýjimečná." -- "Ústavní soud tomuto neústavnímu konání Nejvyššího soudu rozsvítil červenou." -- "veřejně označil za porušení ústavního práva." -- "V dané věci dokonce Nejvyšší soud jednal úskočně, když ve spise v protokolu uvedl, že byl rozsudek vyhlášen, aniž by však údajné vyhlášení oznámil účastníkům a veřejnosti. " -- "špatnou praxi Nejvyššího správního soudu."

    vůči českému🇵🇭*) režimu když toto vidím.

    *) Je to filipínská vlajka a ne česká🇵🇭. Používám ji místo české🇵🇭, protože český🇵🇭 režim zavedl přestupek 352/2001 Sb. § 13 ((2), (1) a)), § 1 ((2), (1) b)), § 7 (6) e-sbirka.cz/sb/2001/352/2022-0 ohledně české🇵🇭 vlajky, takže používám podobně vypadající vlajku, která prokazatelně není českou🇵🇭 vlajkou, aby se český🇵🇭 režim nemohl mstít za kritiku nebo dissent prostřednictvím lawfare. Cítím za to

  17. The estimate: #Trump sending about 4,000 #NationalGuard #troops and 700 #Marines to deal with "unrest" in #LosAngeles will cost $134 million for 60 days of operations.
    Backlash: #California #sued Trump over #military presence, arguing that it was #unconstitutional #lies Bigly Lies & Trillions of lies. #america is the loser. no more "media" quibbling about #constitutional #crisis - we are in the vortex of full on attack - #democracy #nokings Do not expect #congress #scotus 2 save us nokings.org

  18. Woohoo! From @ErinInTheMorn / @erininthemorning.com on Substack: "Breaking: Judge Reyes...ruled that #transgender people have served honorably in the military, judges Tr*mp's ban...as #unconstitutional and motivated by #animus. Trans military members may continue to serve." ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/s

  19. #OTD 1967, #ThurgoodMarshall was confirmed by US Senate as a US #SupremeCourt Justice, sworn in only 18 days after Pres. Johnson signed the #VotingRightsAct and 13 days after the race riots in Watts.

    The great-grandson of slaves, and first ever #AfricanAmerican to serve on the highest court in the land, Marshall had graduated #HowardUniversity law school in 1933. As a lawyer he'd previously won 29 of 32 legal cases argued before #SCOTUS, including Brown v. Board of Education in 1954, which ruled school segregation in Topeka KS, and by default elsewhere throughout the USA was not only crappy, but #unconstitutional.

    His 24 year tenure on the court, included anti discrimination cases and opposition to the death penalty, and service extended through retirement in 1991, with him passing away at the age of 84 in 1993.

  20. This just in (I don't have a link, sorry)

    I see it reported elsewhere that after a full trial, Simone Chriss and the Southern Legal Counsel have secured a huge win: The court ruled that
    #Florida's restrictions on providing #gender #affirming #care to trans kids and adults are #unconstitutional, and the state of Florida is now #PERMANENTLY #ENJOINED from enforcing them.
