Everyone covered Biery's ICE ruling. Adam Lee dug deeper: a 15-year record of defending church-state separation in deep-red Texas β€” going back to 2011, long before it was politically notable. That's the judge worth knowing.

Trump says he'll sign order to resume pay for Homeland Security

President Donald Trump says he'll soon sign an order to pay all Department of Homeland Security employees who have gone without paychecks during the partial government shutdown that has reached 48 days. He announced the unilateral move in a social media post Thursday. He's blaming Democrats for the impasse while thanking Republican leaders for their work this week in trying to end the standoff. The Republican president used a similar maneuver to resume pay for the Transportation Security Administration. Trump’s latest intervention is expected to apply to other non-law enforcement employees at the department, including the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the U.S. Coast Guard and support staff.

Alas, per the U.S.A. Constitution, the President does indeed have the treaty power, with the advice and consent of the Senate, and things have already changed since the 18th century.

So if it were ever tested in court, this Supreme Court, the most judicially activist in history, would probably strike down that law about not withdrawing from NATO without consent as unconstitutional.

If you thought that the Trump regime wouldn't stoop to citing white supremacists for legal authority in favor of their arguments in the birthright citizenship case that's currently in front of the Supreme Court, then you were mistaken. *OF COURSE* they cited white supremacists.
