Ep 228 — Gerrymanders For Me But Not For Thee

DOCKET ALERTS:

As Trump rants at "Neil and Amy" for betraying him in the IEEPA tariffs case, the next tariff battle is already taking shape.

Reuters legal reporters analyzed court stats in Minnesota and proved that federal prosecutions cratered during the immigration surge. So much for "cleaning up" crime.

Doofus of the Day: Pete Hegseth, who is vowing to put Senator Mark Kelly in jail … again.

Judge Melissa Dubose referred the head of the Civil Division at the US Attorney's Office for Rhode Island for possible sanctions due to lack of candor. Chief Judge John McConnell appointed a special counsel to review.

Justice Alito extended the stay in the mifepristone case until Thursday.

MAIN SHOW:

The Virginia Supreme Court struck down the Democratic gerrymander on a technicality. Now the state's legislators have filed a longshot emergency application for stay at the Supreme Court.

And FCC Chair Brendan Carr is lying about the equal time rule as an excuse to go after the ladies at The View.
