If we've come to the point where the President can't file a bad faith lawsuit against his Administration, settle the lawsuit with himself, use the settlement as a rationale for a $1.7B slush fund to reward his allies, and grant himself and his family immunity from IRS action, the Republic is doomed to failure.

Disbar the corrupt *****.

Could be worse. Could be pardoning everybody like President Autopen did.

The Biden administration was famous for colluding with advocacy groups to "sue and settle" - funneling billions to advocacy group attorneys and signing conciliation agreements effectively enacting regulations without regulating. So libs, spare me your false righteous indignation.

Yep...

That "sue and settle" bull**** was BEYOND heinous.

It was basically funneling money to those groups.

But, considering what the left did with USAID, I'm not surprised.


The left thinks everyone else's money belongs to them....

I'm beginning to wonder if it was Marx/Lenin/Mao that came up with that view or if it was this guy:

The panel held Congress created an exclusive review process for challenges to Postal Service policy changes: complaints must first go to the Postal Regulatory Commission, with appeals then heard by the D.C. Circuit. States could not bypass that process by suing directly.

I'm doing some research/reading on Judge Williams' Order yesterday imposing sanctions re the case of Trump v. IRS in Florida.

There is so much irregular about her order.

The fact that she hangs so much on the brief from the former Judges is very telling.

There were multiple other amici briefs filed before the one by the Judges. They filed their brief only AFTER the case was dismissed by her.

She had a brief from an Amicus counsel she appointed that told her whether there was an adverse relationship between the parties was a "fact-specific" inquiry.

She did no such inquiry before she granted the dismissal even though she had that brief already.

NOW she comes back -- with no such inquiry having been done -- and says there was no case or controversy.

But in the Amicus brief she commissioned, there were citations to Supreme Court cases that hold that the parties need not disagree on the merits for there to be a "case or controversy."

Because adverse parties can agree on the merits, the claims that DOJ didn't defend on the facts or the law are irrelevant.

She cites in her order to DOJ regulations -- they confer no rights on third parties. They are internal guides only, and the AG can set them aside.

I'll get into the details tomorrow or Thursday.

But her Opinion should have been just that -- published on the opinion page of some news publication or law review.

If that is true, she is of weak mind and character and should resign immediately. Would not be surprised if she did. Trump should stay quiet on her as that would be what could motivate her to stick it out.

I don't think ACB will change her views based on extreme pressure from the right. She's too strong for that. She's really going for a Sandra Day O'Connor vibe.

The Caputo warrant/intrusion should definitely be unsealed/made public. It's outrageous.

Docs: Democrat Special Counsel Jack Smith Spied On, Lied To Congresshttps://t.co/TvooVCAX7g

— The Federalist (@FDRLST) July 14, 2026

Quote:

---

Four of the lawmakers violated this way were Democrats, says the letter, including Sen. Cory Booker and then-Rep. Adam Smith. The other 40 were Republicans, including Sens. Susan Collins and Mike Lee and Reps. Jim Jordan, Devin Nunes, Elise Stefanik, and Kevin McCarthy.

Democrats' authoritarian use of spy agencies to erase their opponents from the ballot has a long history, extending in recent years back to the Spygate operations President Barack Obama brought into the federal government from Hillary Clinton's campaign in 2015. These operations, such as Democrats' Jan. 6 Select Committee and Spygate itself, have also included the destruction of evidence. The Federalist's Margot Cleveland disclosed last June that the FBI maintained a secret records system that hid information from elected officials at the highest clearances, and used it to disappear evidence of spy agency malfeasance.

That recent history indicates these gross abuses by Smith's team are just one part of a much larger body of evils. In other words, prepare for more revelations about this special counsel operation.

The question remains: When will Congress do something serious about this besides pontificate on TV and in no-results hearings? Federal agencies have already spied on Congress on other topics and gotten away with it. This sheds light on why many Republican lawmakers are too fearful to fight to preserve the republic from becoming a leftist police state and instead protect these dangerous agencies. The most recent episode of this was GOP senators' shameful objections to a Democrat lawfare compensation fund.

Nothing changes if people aren't imprisoned for these high crimes. The most obvious place to start in this case is prosecuting Smith for lying to Congress, and firing every federal employee who worked for him. If they can't be fired, assign them to the legal equivalent of Siberia. Make them work child p*rn cases or something.

"Smith's team ran roughshod over the Constitution even after repeated warnings," Grassley said in a statement. "Jack Smith has answering to do, and I intend to have him before the Senate Judiciary Committee in the coming months to hold him accountable."

Let's look at some of the most important non-unanimous cases decided by the Court after Dobbs/OT 2021. A bar graph stating a range of 59% to 50% conservative positions is just ludicrous. Get out of here.

Timing of lawsuits against administrative agencies - Corner Post v. Board of Governors
Cities can prohibit camping on public property by homeless - City of Grants Pass v. Johnson
Insufficient showing that SC map is a racial gerrymander - Alexander v. SC State Conf. NAACP

OT 2024:
District Courts can't issue universal injunctions - Trump v. CASA
States can prohibit transitioning of minors - U.S. v. Skrmetti

Trump admin won a limited reversal allowing it to restrict people freely walking around the Pentagon unescorted, somehow (pending full trial).

And Judge VanDyke has arisen to 'hero status' in my mind out in the 9th circus. I hope he is proven correct.

VanDyke: "Like a clever, spoiled child, we’ve successfully defied the Supreme Court’s Second Amendment precedent for nearly two decades. The Supreme Court has let us get away with it. And without some stern correction, we’ll continue to do so." pic.twitter.com/pLtmrirPH2

I happen to think VanDyke is correct in his criticism, which stems from his view that "This case is just the latest chapter in our court's long and concerning history of refusing to vindicate the Second Amendment.

Quote:

---

Come hell or high water, Heller or Bruen, our court will find a way to uphold any weapons restriction that a liberal State can dream up. And the Supreme Court's occasional grant of certiorari and reversal has done nothingand I mean that literallyto change our court's behavior. By now it's clear enough that, especially with regard to the Second Amendment, our court has fully adopted the operating principle of our former colleague Judge Reinhardt: the Supreme Court "can't catch'em all." In the real world, no boss would tolerate nearly two decades of repeated defiance from a subordinate. If the Supreme Court wants to do anything to ensure that the Second Amendment doesn't remain a second-class right in this country's most populous federal circuit, then something has to change.

So, what to do? I have a suggestion. The Supreme Court should consider summarily reversing some of our wayward Second Amendment decisions. To put it more colloquially, it's time for some benchslaps. Nothing less will give this court any pause before ultimately blessing every arms restriction it reviews.

---

VanDyke argues that the Ninth Circuit is misinterpreting circuit court precedent in order to uphold California's law on a facial challenge, and notes that this is just the latest abuse by the appellate court when it comes to the right to keep and bear arms.

This is the kind of thing the president should just start ignoring the judges on. This is pure separation of branches enshrined in the constitution. The judicial branch does not get to replace the executive branch's judgement on how to spend funding appropriated by congress.

I don't even understand why the administration can't make all of this public on their own.

It's almost a wasted effort at this point. Any red-blooded American with 2 brain cells knew he was a vegetable when he ran his campaign for 2020, much less any timeframe after that.

The Democrats are showing us every day they could care less about anything but gaining power. Look at the freakshow communist candidates they are literally running with in most races across the country. That the corrupt pedophile wasn't running the show doesn't bother them in the least.
