Ep 124 — So Much For SCOTUS's Brilliant Plan To Head Off That Judicial Crisis

If Chief Justice Roberts thought he was going to protect the judiciary by throwing trial judges under the bus, he was spectacularly mistaken. The case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia is hurtling toward contempt proceedings, with the government in open defiance of the court's order to un-kidnap him. And meanwhile, Attorney General Pam Bondi is running the Justice Department like an arm of the Trump campaign. And for subscribers: Trump steals lunch from poor kids in Maine because the state's governor is nice to trans kids in accordance with Maine law. The state is suing, in a test case for the administration's plan to use tax dollars as a cudgel to force social policy without having to pass laws.
