  1. #ShennaBellows says Trump's call for federal #elections takeover is blatantly #unconstitutional

    "Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows said Tuesday that President Donald Trump's call for a federal takeover of elections is blatantly unconstitutional, but a threat that should be taken seriously given moves his administration has already made.

    "Bellows, a Democrat who is also running for governor, says the president's comments on a right-wing podcast about commandeering elections in 15 unnamed states fit a troubling pattern. That includes an effort by the Department of Justice to obtain states' private voter data, which Bellows' office is fighting alongside Oregon in federal court.

    "Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon also pushed back after receiving a letter from Attorney General Pam Bondi suggesting the immigration surge there would end if officials complied with the DOJ, a request he described as 'apparent ransom.'

    "Bellows said those moves, along with the FBI's recent raid of election offices in #FultonCounty #Georgia, suggest Trump is trying to preempt voter backlash to his policies in coming #elections.

    " 'The president fears big losses in the 2026 and 2028 and is trying to set the stage for federal interference in our elections,' she said.

    "Under the #Constitution, states govern American elections. But Trump has frequently made unsubstantiated claims that Democrats exploit the decentralized system to rig outcomes."

  2. #SanFrancisco federal judge sez #DJT can't cutoff #FederalFunding to #SF (and 35 other #SanctuaryCities including #Boston, #Chicago etc ) ...

    Judge Orrick ruled that #Drumpf #ExecutiveOrders were “unconstitutionally vague and violate due process” not to mention #Coercive #Unconstitutional and in violation of the #Constitution’s mandated "separation of powers" as well as the #SpendingClause plus Fifth and Tenth Amendments.

    How long til' #GOP robed calendar pinups #Alito, #BrettKavanaugh, Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, John Roberts and Amy Coney Barrett all just say he can do whatever he wants?
