Judge contends Nazis got more due process than Trump deportees did

npr.org/2025/03/24/nx-s1-53387

Trump administration received pointed questions from a judge over how it's implementing a rarely used wartime law to deport Venezuelans....

"Nazis got better treatment under the Alien Enemies Act than what has happened here," D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Patricia Millett said during a hearing...on Monday. "And they had hearing boards before they were removed."

Why should I listen to judges? I don’t care what they say. I don’t care what they tell me to do. They’re just mean. I’m immune to everything. The Supreme Court said so Nana Nana Nana Nana. I’m the king of the courts they belong to me. I don’t believe in injunctions.

Judge Kicks DOGE Out of Social Security in Huge Blow to Elon Musk

Musk has been working to gut the Social Security Administration.

"The order, issued by District #Judge Ellen Lipton Hollander, prevents #DOGE from accessing personally identifiable #information, installing “any #software” on #SSA systems or devices, and accessing or disclosing SSA computer #code."

"DOJ moves to boot federal judge from Perkins Coie case"

Next move for the #Trump regime: if a #judge doesn't rule in your favor, use the power of the Federal Government to seek their removal from cases, which petition then justifies appealing anything that comes from such cases.

I suspect #impeachments of #judges who don't do as they're told by the executive branch, using Trump's captive #GOP #Congress, will be next.

"Trump & his team have spent the last week ruthlessly going after Judge James #Boasberg, the one who demanded the administration turn around their illegal flights to #ElSalvador. It wouldn’t be a stretch for #Howell to imagine suffering the same fate. Multiple law enforcement agencies proved this week their willingness to use violent force on behalf of #Trump against law-abiding #Americans; why should a #judge be any different?"

Stand Down, Elon Musk

A court ruling rips the billionaire head of DOGE for his unauthorized actions, but can only go so far to rescue a doomed agency.

"yesterday’s ruling from #Judge Theodore Chuang of the federal district of #Maryland was the first time any judge has directly addressed the illegality of Musk’s appointment as head of #DOGE and then ordered his actions unwound."
