"This isn’t justice. It’s a monarchy cloaked in law, where the courts no longer check power but serve as executioners for Trump’s political vengeance — and we’re all witnesses expected to cheer."

~ Michael Cohen

==
We’ve documented nearly 50 incidents of immigration officers shattering car windows to make arrests — a tactic experts say was rarely used before #Trump took office.

#ICE claims its officers use a “minimum amount of force.”

You can judge for yourself.

"And our #Constitution was very clear in saying…there's one branch that has the #power to tariff & it isn't the president & it isn't the #courts. It's the #Congress of the #UnitedStates," Katyal said.

The case, known as V.O.S. Selections v. Trump, centers on whether #Trump exceeded his #authority by invoking an emergency-powers #law to impose a slew of far-reaching tariff policies.

A U.S. federal judge in Massachusetts has ruled that a nationwide injunction that blocked President Donald Trump's executive order limiting birthright citizenship should remain in place. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/07/26/world/crime-legal/trump-birthright-citizenship-injunction/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #crimelegal #us #courts #donaldtrump #immigration

Such situations have prompted some former #judges to do something most generally do not—speak out. More than two dozen retired judges appointed by Republican & Democratic presidents have formed the #ArticleIII Coalition to push back on attacks & #disinformation about the #courts.

“This is not the first time the court closes its eyes to noncompliance, nor, I fear, will it be the last,” #Sotomayor wrote. “Yet each time this court rewards noncompliance with discretionary relief, it further erodes respect for #courts & for the rule of #law.”

The #SCOTUS June decision to scale back the ability of lower #courts to issue #NationwideInjunctions, & the administration’s success at persuading the justices to overturn about a dozen temporary blocks on its agenda in recent months, might only embolden #Trump officials to defy lower courts, several #legal experts said.

If the Court of Justice of the European Union is, as is often argued, the most powerful international court the world has seen, why is serious resistance against it not more commonplace?

This is the question I ask in my PhD thesis, which I successfully defended at the #EUI last Friday. Today it has been made available open access through the university repository!

"The arrest of a sitting state Judge Hannah Dugan outside of her courthouse was a dramatic escalation of the Trump administration’s two-pronged attack on the judiciary and sanctuary jurisdictions."
