David, yours is the news distillation that I can read completely. It is clean, informative, and I really appreciate the links to more detail, if wanted.
Judge Boasberg is the true American hero of the recent weeks. When we retake the presidency next general election as we surely will, this man should be our next Supreme Court nominee
IF we even have an election. Even if we do, the end result depends on who counts the votes. If MAGA trump cult members are elected to those city or county positions they will ensure that the actual vote doesn't matter, they will claim trumpcult aka MAGA won And who will gainstay them?
Per NPR, the JD & Usha have changed their itinerary. The duo are going on an elaborate Propaganda Tour landing on the United States controlled 'PITUFNIK Space Base' on Friday, 3/28. According to the Orange WH, JD+U, will get a "briefing on War Plans ... er ... Arctic security issues".
I keep asking: why is no one pointing to the Alien Enemies Act §23 (as codified). That REQUIRES due process in use of the Act. It REQUIRES a court order. The only difference between this and the usual immigration court order is that the order comes from an Article III judge. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/50/23
Trump hasn't just invoked the Act. He has BROKEN its laws. The interesting thing on the immunity side is whether the Extremes will consider it a Core Act to actually ignore the required involvement of the courts.
This is completely separate from the "is Tren an invading foreign "nation or government."
I have no idea whether the government in WWII ignored this as well as to actual aliens (as opposed to US Japanese American citizens and whether the Korematsu court somehow found this section inoperable. But hasn't Korematsu now been overturned?
Also note that the Act requires the US Marshalls to do the apprehending of those subject to the Act. I suppose it can delegate to ICE, but I'd like to see that delegation. Also, NEITHER are part of the military, so trump's Commander in Chief status doesn't really let him skip this requirement. Or did he use the military?
As to David Geier. I can't wait till some agency hires someone to do an investigation into whether evolution is an established theory.
Yes Susan Lineman, the WWII case U.S.A. vs Fred Koretmatsu has been overturned back in 2010 by the Presiding Judge in Dept 16 I think, after a diligent, pro bono, legal project on behalf of Fred Korematsu, his Family & all of us.
Truly depressing catalogue of only ONE day in the life of this shite administration, and its unrelenting plundering of constitutional law, and of our common, civic environment.
Wonder if Jeff Goldberg will NOW get the FBI-at-my-door treatment...or, get disappeared to Gitmo on suspicion of Espionage Act violations.
"Principals refers to a person [Hegseth +4] in a leading position (like a head of school) or the main amount of money, while "principle" refers to a fundamental rule, idea or belief".
Until and let's be honest unless a lot of people do not pass go and go straight go to jail, not only will nothing change, it'll get worse. These judges have to decide if they will continue to be comity weenies or support the Constitution.
EXCELLENT piece.

I can't see that Boasberg has done anything but flap his gums. He needs to throw all these scofflaws in jail or he has accomplished nothing.
“The accidental addition of The Atlantic executive editor Jeffrey Goldberg to the group chat was just the cherry on top of the shit sundae.”
You’re channeling Jim Lahey and I love it.
Every morning I wait for the "other shoe to drop" but they keep dropping. Shoe by shoe, we are losing our country & our democracy.
A whole armoire full of shoes and boots and roller skates.
I'm dreaming of a crowd of thousands of Greenlanders on the tarmac when Usha and JD arrive and they are definitely not in a welcoming mood.

No, the Editor of The Atlantic was not invited.
Well, my dream was fun while it lasted...
Greenlanders are not
happy with the Friday
arrival of VP & wife. They
feel VP is just added
pressure. They may
demonstrate outside the
base. Time will tell.😁
No worries, more fun very possible as cartoonist, ANN TELARES, has joined The Contrarian.
I alerted her to the Pit-uf-nik Space Base Friday Tour.

California has a Fred Korematsu 🔆 Day

Meanwhile screenshots of SIGNAL Clown Show are being posted, The Guardian & The Atlantic yesterday. Please Principal Clowns only.
Send Trump's deflection to the Forensic Psychiatrist Hall of Shame.
Blame it on a Staffer.
That's "principles", doncha know?
My Pixel 8 has rudimentary AI:
"Principals refers to a person [Hegseth +4] in a leading position (like a head of school) or the main amount of money, while "principle" refers to a fundamental rule, idea or belief".
This group of principals has no principles.
I was referring to the actual misspelling of "principals" in the Signal Yemen bombing thread, where of course those gathered were the "principles".
OK : ---)
Noted racist Brent Bozell, the perfect person to deal with a post-apartheid South Africa in the throes of a mini-uprising by disgruntled Afrikaners.
