Illegality for all It’s a weekly series about how the Trump administration is trying to weaponize the judicial system and those fighting back.
On April 30, the Supreme Court heard the debate. Charter School Boards V, across the state of Oklahoma. Drummondan example of whether Oklahoma must give Catholic Church taxes to run public religious charter schools.
This should be a slam dunk.
Remember that in middle school, you learned that there is a separation between the church and the nation. Well, that might have been true back then, but it’s not even very true now.
The conservative religious majority of the Supreme Court is shedding tears over inserting religion into public life. Their religion. So they were surprised at the separation of the church and the nation, Arbitration In previous cases where taxes go to Maine’s religious school tuition support programs, having a large Christian prayer jamboree led by a public high school soccer coach is Completely dandy and the constitution.
Oral discussion on April 30th It looked darkconservative appointees inform them that they are quite open to ignoring the big chunk of initial revisions, Pretend That they don’t know that charter schools are public schools. But they know exactly what they really are doing. pave the way for state-funded state-run religious schools.
Conflict of interest is not a big deal
Not satisfied with allowing a large amount of Elon Musk Become a face Regarding the blatant conflict of interest in this administration, the Trump family trekked to Dubai to let everyone know that President Donald Trump is open for business. In other words, it’s a private, fraudulent crypto business.
At a cryptocurrency conference held in Dubai earlier this week, World Liberty Financial, founder of the Trump Family Cryptocol Company, I announced that The state-backed Abu Dhabi investment company will use Trump’s meme coin $ Trump to make $2 billion business transactions.
The New York Times reported more details about the confusion about what Stablecoin and Exchange are being used. But this is the bottom line for everyone else. This is exactly what it looks like: a foreign government that is putting millions of dollars on the president’s private companies.
This arrangement is so bad that even in times had to admit it. “On a conference panel with Trump’s second son, virtually every detail of Witkoff’s announcement contained a conflict of interest.”
Only if you knew this was going to happen. Ah, wait. We did.
Trump’s former criminal lawyer continues to raise hell for everyone else
It’s another week when Emil Bove behaves badly. Last week, we I learned More career Department of Justice prosecutors left the office to deny Bove’s request for criminal charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams.
This week we discovered that Bove is Behind the recent push Investigating student protesters at Columbia University. After the February incident in which some students passed security guards, Bove ordered an investigation. He told the career civil rights prosecutor of DOJ to get a list of members of the Columbia University Apartheid sells.
Yes, list. Members’. Let’s investigate. DOJ officials had to explain that investigating people based on organizational membership is a bit of a First Amendment violation. He also wanted to hand over the list to the ice if he thought things could get worse.
You can’t just walk to brown people and say, “Give me your papers.”
It’s literally what US District Judge Jennifer Thurston said April 29th. The American Civil Liberties Union can only explain “please give me a paper” after the Border Patrol’s three-day sweep in Kern County, California.
As long as the Trump administration wants it not, the Border Patrol is only allowed to stop people if there is reasonable doubt that they are violating immigration laws. And no, that standard is not satisfied with being caught up in migrant workers and daytime workers and demanding evidence of citizenship.
Thurston issued a temporary injunction covering parts of California banning border patrols from these tactics while the cases were progressing.
For conservatives, it’s doxing for you, but not for me
A few months ago, signs with ice and homeland security agents’ names, photos and possible phone numbers Posted Beyond Los Angeles. Including phone numbers acknowledge federal crimes by assuming that they are realistic, but that is not a crime of the century.
But you don’t know that from how the ice handled this. On May 1st, Ice sent over a dozen vehicles. In the storm Streets in Irvine, California claim they raised flyers to arrest Michael Chan. Instead, they terrified Chang’s parents There’s not even I already live there.
This is nothing more than a political theatre, given that the ice gave footage of the drone. Direct to Fox News Therefore, the right-wing network can report with breathlessness about essentially narrowing down Jackboot to Chan’s parents’ house on immigration agents. Ice proxy director It appeared! To provide a warrant! For random guys who may or may not have posted some posters!
This is the rich that comes from management run by the man you love when your supporter is doc Pro-Palestinian students or Targeting A judge and jury in Trump’s criminal case. But all of a sudden, they are very worried about how corrosive and scary it is when people are aiming to do their job.
