Trump’s new Executive Order to “unleash” cops on Americans, defend them with the free legal work he extorted from major law firms, and then use the military against the American People, is not only a violation of the Constitution and the Posse Comitatus Act, but is one step closer to Trump declaring Martial Law. Michael Popok explains how Big Law, which gave Trump a billion dollars worth of free legal service, is complicit in Trump’s lawlessness and will end up being on the wrong side of the next case to challenge this Executive Order.

Trump Walks Himself into Trap at SCOTUS?!?!
Trump is continuing to press his losing hand with the United States Supreme Court, and has filed his 12th phony “emergency” application to convince the Supreme Court that it when it called all Venezuelans “scum” and “dirtbags” it was only kidding before deciding to end their protective status and deport them. Michael Popok explains why filing this particular emergency application that Justice Kagan considers first may backfire for the Trump Administration and its Homeland Secretary Kristi Noem.

Judges Make Unprecedented Move to Address DOJ Lies
Trump has so destroyed the DOJ’s reputation for candor and integrity that federal judges won’t handle their cases unless a court reporter takes down every word in a transcript to ensure that their words are not twisted out of all meaning. Michael Popok looks at new reporting that Trump’s former criminal lawyer Emil Bove is running amok at the DOJ, destroying its Public Integrity Unit and its Civil Rights Division to use the DOJ to intimidate students on college campuses and threaten them with deportation or worse to chill their First Amendment expression.

Trump Has Public Freakout as Retailer Calls Him Out
The Trump Administration has declared all-out war against Jeff Bezos and Amazon because of Amazon’s plan to disclose the impact of Trump’s tariffs on pricing for each item on Amazon. Michael Popok looks at the broader issue of Trump being bad for business, simultaneously attacking all of the pillars of the US Economy in his first 100 Days: Universities; Service Professionals; federal funding and employment, and now Big Business, and wondering as he beats the US economy to death, why it is collapsing causing American sufferSmalls: Head to https://Smalls.com/LEGALAF and use promo code: LEGALAF at checkout for 50% off your first order PLUS free shipping!
