President Trump directed US Attorney General Pam Bond to pursue penalties against law firms and lawyers that lodge “frivolous” litigation against the government.
Trump pointed to civil procedure rules barring lawyers from lodging legal filings to “harass” or “cause unnecessary delay” and asked Bondi, 59, to recommend additional steps he could take to fight back.
“Far too many attorneys and law firms have long ignored these requirements when litigating against the Federal Government or in pursuing baseless partisan attacks,” Trump said in a presidential memorandum the White House released Saturday.
“I hereby direct the Attorney General to seek sanctions against attorneys and law firms who engage in frivolous, unreasonable, and vexatious litigation against the United States.”
The Trump administration has weathered well over 100 lawsuits since late January.
Last month alone, the courts imposed 15 injunctions against the president’s actions, dramatically outpacing the judicial roadblocks former Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden faced.
This includes injunctions on Trump’s executive order to scrap birthright citizenship, the block on the president’s use of wartime power to deport Venezuelan gangbangers and more.
Trump’s legal team has petitioned the US Supreme Court to intervene and potentially pare back the lower courts’ ability to slap injunctions against his actions while litigation plays out.

Remove their paper to be a legal entity in the US, which would be the equivalent of removing their testicles!

There’s this.......as part of its power to create lower federal courts, Congress possesses the power to eliminate the jurisdiction of the lower courts. Congress sometimes exercises this power by “stripping” federal courts of jurisdiction .......as one example, to hear certain classes of cases.

Paper Terrorists. Anyone remember that expression?
I think it would be fun to make a movie based off the comedy “Clue”, where the Supremes are all invited to an old mansion on a stormy night, and find themselves cut off from humanity when somebody bumps off the Chief Justice…
The lawfare went hard against the Trump attorneys. Turnabout is fair play.
The Lawfare is un-stoppable, with the current USSC/Roberts, right now. It will be coming down to Trump/Bondi implementing "ignore the Courts", to attack the corruption. Unfortunately, the RINO's are in the Lawfare support group.
You are correct, time to repeal the 17th Amendment. It will take time after the 17th Amendment is repealed for the federal Judiciary to reflect the taxpayer. With the 17th amendment in place the Senate is nothing more than a 6-year-long house seat with anointed ones from the uniparty funded by K Street. It explains why the current federal judiciary is skewed

“time to repeal the 17th Amendment.”
Republicans officially control the Senate.
The now Republican Senate can create and pass bill to help Trump.

Since proving “frivolous” is near-impossible, in a Civil Rights Action, this Rule makes the LOSING Plaintiff immune from the payment of Defendant’s Attorney Fees. Since NGO’s use taxpayer money, via channeling through various Contractors and Consultants, they can bring Claims at no cost to THEM, but the Defendant is paying their own way, and is not allowed to recover their costs. No penalty whatsoever to the Plaintiff, AND they make tons of $$$$ via taxpayers.
It’s cute that Trump wants Barbie to do something.
I am sure they are a pure as their white robes er ah, nevermind😎
Time to expand DOGE, imagine their financials and internet activity would make a nice TV crime series.
“President Trump directed US Attorney General Pam Bond”
I knew she had some good lines, given her looks. So she’s married to 007, perhaps we should call her “007.5” ?
Trump should ask Johnson and Thune to allow him to address Congress and ask for specific statutory reforms.
Team Trump needs better legal tools and the ‘rat lawyers need to lose some tools.
Congress...... doesn’t matter and is actually powerless.
The Senate requires 60 votes that will never happen so long as the City States hold on to their Senate power
If you’re found inadmissible, you’ll be denied a visa or an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA), refused entry to, or removed from Canada.
You could be found inadmissible for a number of reasons, such as:

The problem with stripping courts of jurisdiction is that such a bill would face a Senate filibuster, requiring 60 votes for cloture — a very difficult threshold to meet.
The nuclear option could bypass that, but doing so would set a precedent that effectively destroys the filibuster for both parties.
