The CASA ruling has been handed down, and rogue judges and unhinged liberals are hardest hit. While it doesn’t address the issue of birthright citizenship per se, it did strike down the national injunction power that district judges have been abusing since the outset of the second Trump presidency. SCOTUSblog set up the issue: Whether the Supreme Court should stay the district courts' nationwide preliminary injunctions on the Trump administration’s Jan. 20 executive order ending birthright citizenship except as to the individual plaintiffs and identified members of the organizational plaintiffs or states. And in a 6-3 ruling, the Court ruled:...

Colorado .. tried to bar President Trump from the 2024 ballot—only to be rebuked unanimously by the Supreme Court—is now under scrutiny for far more than election antics. Colorado has become ground zero for judicial tyranny, a place where whistleblowers are crushed, innocent men are financially destroyed, and courtrooms operate more like cartel headquarters than halls of justice. The case of Tina Peters, the Mesa County clerk-turned-election integrity advocate, is finally drawing attention from the Department of Justice. After years of political persecution, Peters’ case has shifted from the DOJ Civil Division to the Criminal Division, with officials asking if...

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...

Judge James Boasberg, the chief judge of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, has repeatedly been assigned cases to do with President Donald Trump's second term, as Townhall has been covering. Congress has taken notice, and the House last month passed a bill to rein in rogue judges like Boasberg and others. Questions still remain, though, and on Monday, Townhall obtained a letter from Reps. Jim Jordan (R-OH), Darrell Issa (R-CA), and Chip Roy (R-TX) regarding such concerns. The letter was sent to Angela D. Caesar, the Clerk of the Court for the U.S. District Court for...

This week, US District Judge William Orrick issued an injunction barring the Trump Administration from withholding federal aid from sanctuary cities, saying "over the years cities all across the country have become used to receiving huge portions of their funding from the federal government. Using this dependency to attain their cooperation with the enforcement of federal immigration laws is extortion, pure and simple. I cannot allow it to go forward." Tony LoPresti, counsel for Santa Clara County, hailed the Judge's action, calling it "a life-saving affirmation of the cities' rights to continue business-as-usual without undue interference from the federal government."...

Democrats in CO are now pushing bill HB25-1312 which would take “misgendering” & “deadnaming” into account during custody hearings. Colorado father gagged for refusing to let his 13-year old son be sterilized. For that, Colorado courts stripped him of his parental rights - banning him from even talking to his child about gender, medical treatment, or the court case. "I haven't slept well forever... I'm afraid for my child."

The decisions contradict his legal claim that presidents have full authority over who gets to cross the U.S. borders. The judges’ views also contradict Trump’s election mandate to reduce the...

Use Democrat "rules" to challenge these rulings! Could also has the extra benefit of exposing Democrat "Wokeazi" hypocrisy. How 'spose they'd react?

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer just admitted on PBS that Democrats intentionally stacked the courts with 235 “progressive judges” in order to stop President Donald Trump “time after time after time.” Since President Trump triumphantly returned to the White House on January 20, 2025, his administration has faced an all-out legal assault — not from Congress or the will of the American people — but from a weaponized judicial branch hijacked by radical leftists. In just under two months, President Trump has been hit with 132 legal challenges, with only two resolved. And now, Chuck Schumer has admitted it all...

The weaponized judiciary has hit a new low. We’ve seen activist judges pull every trick in the book to block, stall, and sabotage President Trump at every turn. But now, they’re going after something even more dangerous—the President’s authority over national security.In an unprecedented move, a federal judge has blocked President Trump from revoking the security clearance of Perkins Coie.

US District Judge Beryl Howell, an Obama appointee, blocked part of President Trump’s executive order barring employees from DNC law firm Perkins Coie from entering federal buildings. Beryl Howell granted Perkins Coie’s request for a TRO for part of Trump’s executive order and said the president violated the law firm’s due process. “Howell granted the firm’s request for a temporary restraining order for some sections of Trump’s order. The parts being blocked include its limitations on government contracts with clients of the firm and the potential restrictions it puts on the firm’s employees, such as bans on hiring those employees...

"A federal judge Wednesday issued a temporary block to President Donald Trump’s executive order against the law firm Perkins Coie for its election work representing his political opponents. District Judge Beryl Howell, who was appointed by President Barack Obama, said Trump’s order was clearly “retaliatory in nature” against Perkins Coie. .... Perkins Coie was the second law firm targeted by Trump. In a separate but similar order last month, the president also attacked Covington & Burling for representing former Special Counsel Jack Smith, who pursued indictments against Trump over his attempt to overturn the 2020 election and his mishandling of...
