One First
144. The Supreme Court's Late-Night #AlienEnemyAct Intervention

Just before 1:00 a.m., the justices (aggressively) stepped back into the Alien Enemy Act litigation—in a decision suggesting that a majority understands that these are no longer normal circumstances.

A glimmer of hope pings in the dark.

A tRump-apponted (!!) texas (!!!!) Judge blocks use of #AlienEnemyAct by tRumpo regime to conduct warrantless extraordinaire rendition of US persons (citizens, residents).

I wouldn't have put money on it. Rly.

Politico: President Donald Trump on Tuesday called for the impeachment of the federal judge who ordered a two-week halt to his efforts to remove Venezuelan migrants using extraordinary war powers that haven’t been invoked for decades.

Trump also suggested that “many” of the judges who have ruled against him in other cases should be impeached as well. It’s a significant incursion on the judiciary that comes as Trump has asserted unprecedented unilateral power over federal spending — despite Congress’ constitutional power of the purse — and sweeping authority to remove executive branch officials that previous presidents believed were protected by law.
