In that case, called Labrador v. Poe, Idaho asked #SCOTUS to let the state enforce a Republican-backed ban on gender-affirming care for #transgender minors after a federal judge blocked it as #unconstitutional.

Asserting that “it is #illegal & #unconstitutional to deport” a #UScitizen, Judge Doughty set a hearing for May 16 to explore his “strong suspicion that the government just deported a U.S. citizen with no meaningful process.”

The Trump WH is sabotaging itself with its unbridled hostility toward the #courts. The SC has been doing its best to defuse the looming clash w the admin.

Form of govt we're living in right now: closest analogue is the Mafia -using #extortion to achieve his objectives.

For Trump, law is nothing but politics -apply his tactics for pol battles in the legal realm: attack -never admit error -stoke griev...
