This is clearly the plan.

Democrats have again introduced a bill that would shift the immigration courts from the executive branch to an independent judiciary, following concerns that the Trump administration has "weaponized" the system. http://law360.com/ar...

I don’t think people outside of the legal profession understand the cold civil war happening in the U.S. right now.

There’s two angles I haven’t seen discussed yet. 1. Can other states preemptively label DOJ -shielded lawyers admitted in colluding bar associations as presumptively unfit? Ex. CalBar cites excessive reports of misconduct as basis for refusing pro hac vice and future reciprocity. 1/2

I was just chatting about UPL by chatbots with @ejwalters.bsky.social yesterday! He raised, Lola v. Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, Docket No. 14-3845-cv (2nd Cir. Jul 23, 2015). case-law.vlex.com/vid/lola-v-s...

A Bovino-lateral demotion. She still needs to be impeached and charged for her crimes and corruption.

Yikes!

The DOJ enjoys a presumption of good faith from judges. Getting second chances to correct errors. This is a clearer signal that this presumption cannot be continued. Bars investigate professional lawyer misconduct, like lying to courts and judges. Bondi is telling the DOJ to lie in court.

JUST IN: Trump DOJ proposes surprise rule aiming to let Attorney General Pam Bondi suspend state bar investigations into alleged misconduct by DOJ lawyers. Very unclear if there'd be legal authority for the AG to intervene in this manner. news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/...

I feel like we typically see these sorts of completely outraged opinions from federal judges a couple times a year across the whole country, maybe a little more often in last few years. Now, in cases stemming from Trump's immigration crackdown, judges are ringing the alarm bell several times a week.

One of those stories where you know a bribe to Trump will get the DOJ to slow walk the case on behalf of Ticketmaster.

They have billions for forever wars and funding secret police to disappear citizens and gaudy ballrooms and tax cuts for the rich but never a dime for healthcare or to feed the poor.

Utah Supreme Court Dismisses Utah Legislature’s Appeal of Ruling That the Legislature Could Not Overturn Fair Redistricting Enacted by Utah Voters electionlawblog.org?p=154441

This is the partisan game being played by Republican #SCOTUS appointees. Policies from Democratic politicians get held under nation-wide injunctions for years, even if later found to be legal. Republican politicians get nation-wide injunctions stayed & let damage be done, like we just saw here.

1/ Okay, now I’m mad. Any Supreme Court in our nation’s history before John Roberts would have upheld the lower courts’ injunctions blocking Trump’s tariffs & not issued a stay that let Trump wreck the economy and break the law for over a year. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/20/u...
