The judge says the president didn’t cite an actual invasion and that he violated the Fifth Amendment. A federal judge in Texas became the latest on June 9 to hold that President Donald Trump had misapplied the Alien Enemies Act in attempting to remove from the United States purported members of the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang. In a 56-page opinion, U.S. District Judge David Briones said that Trump violated the Constitution’s guarantee of due process and failed to demonstrate that Tren de Aragua (TdA) was engaged in the type of invasion that allowed presidents to invoke the Act. His...

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A federal judge in California has blocked the Trump administration from enforcing anti-diversity and anti-transgender executive orders in grant funding requirements that LGBTQ+ organizations say are unconstitutional. U.S. District Judge Jon Tigar said Monday that the federal government cannot force recipients to halt programs that promote diversity, equity and inclusion or acknowledge the existence of transgender people in order to receive grant funding. The order will remain in effect while the legal case continues, although government lawyers will likely appeal. The funding provisions “reflect an effort to censor constitutionally protected speech and services promoting DEI and...

Was there a coup? That question, when asked in the context of American politics, invites ridicule from respectable quarters. Yet when the subject turns to foreign regimes, that same question is treated with analytic seriousness. Political scientists pore over cases from Georgia to Ukraine, from Venezuela to Egypt, cataloguing the hallmarks of so-called "color revolutions", soft regime-change efforts executed through legal, media, and civic levers, rather than military ones. Oddly, however, the moment one notices similar tactics deployed on American soil, the conversation ends. That silence deserves scrutiny. For there is a credible case that the 2020 effort to remove...

Have Soros dollars now seeped into the judiciary? Either leftists are working for the Communist Chinese Party (CCP), or they have certainly read their playbooks. The playbooks of the CCP are “The Art of Warfare” and “Unrestricted Warfare”—both of which speak to exploiting the weakness of an enemy and argue that the United States does not consider the wider picture of military strategy, including “legal tools” (lawfare and economic factors) to leverage one’s opponent and circumvent the need for direct military action resulting in the same, if not even greater, destructive force. Three unelected New York federal judges of the...

Activist Judges halt President Trump’s Agenda in garbage cases filed by “deranged” Norm Eisen. The running coup of the Trump Agenda continues. Activists Judges have halted President Trump’s agenda at least 181+ times in just a 4 month span. ”That is a huge number. To give you that in percentage terms, in over 50% of Trump administration agenda has been halted at least temporarily.” The corrupt activist judges couldn’t do what they do without the bogus cases to rule on. Norm Eisen recently bragged like an evil villain about being behind 152 of these efforts to derail and slow down...

As noted by Politico, within the ruling Boasberg goes on to say: …”if the administration doesn’t rectify the issue, the judge said he may require administration officials to testify under oath so that he can identify the specific individuals responsible for violating his order. He would then request that those individuals be prosecuted. The judge signaled he could appoint an outside lawyer to prosecute the contempt case if the Justice Department declines to do so.” (link) I think we all know the very select group of “beach friend” people whom Boasberg would lean toward in appointing someone to prosecute Pam...

his article was updated on May 21 at 2:38 p.m. The Trump administration came to the Supreme Court on Wednesday morning, once again asking the justices to take action on their emergency docket. U.S. Solicitor General D. John Sauer urged the court to temporarily pause an order by a federal judge in Washington, D.C., that would require the Department of Government Efficiency to provide information in a lawsuit filed under the Freedom of Information Act. Sauer told the justices that requiring DOGE as a “presidential advisory body” to respond to the plaintiffs’ requests, a process known as discovery, “clearly violates...

Two weeks ago, Federal District Court Judge Beryl Howell permanently enjoined the Trump Administration from implementing the president’s executive order targeting the Perkins Coie law firm. Trump’s order suspended security clearances for the firm’s lawyers and barred them from federal buildings, prohibited the government from engaging the firm, and directed that it be investigated for violating civil rights laws. The order explained that these restrictions were appropriate because of Perkins Coie’s “dishonest and dangerous activity,” including hiring Fusion GPS to manufacture a false dossier to “steal an election.” As counsel to Hillary Clinton, the firm worked with Fusion GPS to...

Where Things Stand "When the truth comes out, do not ask me how I knew. Ask yourself why you didn't." — "The Researcher" on X [Link at his site] Click photo of Norm Eisen to play video. “Fighting fascism,” for the American Jacobins who lead the Democratic Party, means opposing any attempt to flush the corruption out of the entrenched bureaucracy, just as their pet phrase “our democracy” actually refers to the matrix of grift and despotic activism that drives their political operating system. That is exactly how and why the USAID was so crucial to spread captured taxpayer spoils...

A federal judge on Tuesday ordered the Trump Administration to rehire Voice of America (VOA) and other affiliate news services staff. President Trump placed employees and contractors for government-funded Voice of America on leave last month. US District Judge Royce Lamberth, a Reagan appointee, said Voice of America is funded by Congress and Trump’s cuts to the agency are “a direct affront to the power of the legislative branch.”

After you finish this blog, you’ll be asking the million-dollar question: Why is Chief Justice John Roberts hanging out with the Deep State’s #1 color revolution architect? Turns out the left’s favorite “Republican” has some very interesting buddies. According to Norm Eisen—the man who practically wrote the Deep State’s playbook on color revolutions, all things anti-Trump, and lawfare in the US—he and Chief Justice John Roberts are not only good pals, but they even spent a week together in the Czech Republic. According to Norm, the two BFFs were there working on “American rule of law” issues. Hmm… Norm was...

News broke over the last couple of days that one of Chief Justice John Roberts’s good buddies is Norm Eisen, one of the chief instigators of the plot to destroy Donald Trump through Deep State manipulation and lawfare. Under a long-standing federal rule of judicial conduct banning even the “appearance of impropriety,” Justice Roberts’s close relationship with Eisen means he should step down. We all know who John Roberts is. He’s the squish who leapfrogged from having been an appellate court judge for only two years to suddenly being Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Since then, he embedded Obamacare...

Is the Supreme Court Compromised by Deep State Cronyism? In a bombshell revelation that’s sending shockwaves through conservative circles, it turns out Chief Justice John Roberts has been rubbing elbows with none other than Norm Eisen—the radical leftist operative who’s spent years orchestrating lawfare campaigns against President Donald Trump and his allies. According to a report from Revolver News, Roberts didn’t just bump into Eisen at a D.C. cocktail party. No, these two are apparently such “good pals” that Roberts jetted off to the Czech Republic for a week-long sleepover at Eisen’s lavish 150-room palace. It’s straight from the mouth...

The Vigilant Fox 🦊✓ @VigilantFox NEW: DataRepublican exposes how an NGO claiming to promote “democracy” received $17 million—and “the only thing they did with $17 million was make a terrible muppet show.” “That’s (explicit word)!” The NGO, co-founded by Norm Eisen, calls itself the “States United Democracy Center,” and all they could manage with that $17 million was about 200 views per episode of their knockoff muppet show. @DataRepublican explains: “They got money, and they did something with that. It was just awful. Jim Henson would roll in his grave. And it was weird because all the videos have less...

Norm Eisen's ongoing lawsuits against Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) are drawing scrutiny—and not just because of the high-profile figures involved. It turns out, Eisen’s own family ties are raising serious questions about conflict of interest. His daughter, Tamar Eisen, worked as a Program Officer for the National Democratic Institute (NDI)—a non-profit organization that has been on the receiving end of millions in USAID funding. It doesn’t stop there. The NDI has been the recipient of substantial USAID grants, including a hefty $32.3 million for the “Electoral Empowerment of CSO Project.” Now, just as Norm Eisen’s lawsuits against...
