Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump appointee, blocked the release of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s report on his investigation into Donald Trump, pending a decision by the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals. This decision, which followed a request by Trump co-defendants, prevents the Justice Department from releasing the report, except for limited information shared with Congressional committees. Legal experts criticized Cannon’s order, arguing she lacks jurisdiction and her actions demonstrate bias, while Trump’s allies praised the decision. The Justice Department plans to release portions of the report concerning election interference only after the Eleventh Circuit rules on the matter.

Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump appointee, temporarily blocked the release of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s report investigating President-elect Trump, prompting immediate criticism. This action follows Cannon’s earlier dismissal of the classified documents case against Trump. Legal analyst Lisa Rubin argued Cannon lacks jurisdiction to issue such a stay, given her prior ruling. The stay remains in effect until three days after the appeals court rules on the matter, a timeline raising questions about its potential duration beyond Trump’s inauguration. The report’s release is opposed by Trump and his co-defendants.

Seventy-four-year-old State Court Judge Stephen Yekel was found dead in his Georgia courtroom Tuesday morning, the apparent victim of a suicide.

The recent Supreme Court decisions have left a lasting impact on the American republic, solidifying power for one party and paving the way for a potential dictatorship under the guise of democracy. The decision to grant presidential immunity for official acts is a blatant power grab that transcends political agendas and aims to establish an oligarchy with justices as the new ruling elite.
The erosion of fundamental rights and the blatant disregard for the rule of law is evident in the recent Supreme Court term. By making bribes effectively legal, taking away women’s reproductive rights, and gutting government regulation, the Supreme Court has shown its true colors as a tool for advancing personal and political agendas at the cost of the American people.… Continue reading
As an individual who is deeply concerned about the current state of our country and the decisions being made by our leaders, I cannot help but feel troubled by the recent news of a federal judge ordering the Biden Administration to resume permits for gas exports. The fact that President Biden had paused new natural gas export terminals to thoroughly assess their effects on the climate, economy, and national security speaks volumes about his dedication to making informed and responsible decisions for the well-being of our nation.
However, the fact that a federal judge disagreed with President Biden’s decision and ordered the administration to resume the permits is a clear indication of the power struggle that seems to be unfolding within our government.… Continue reading
The recent decision by the Supreme Court to kill off Chevron deference has far-reaching implications and threatens the very foundation of our democracy. The separation of powers, a fundamental principle upon which our government is built, is being upended as power is shifted to the judicial branch. This move portends chaos as regulatory oversight and public policy objectives, particularly in areas like environmental and consumer protections, are now at risk of being dismantled or privatized.
The implications of this decision are staggering. Federal agencies, with their expertise in specific areas, have traditionally been responsible for providing the specifics on how laws are to be followed.… Continue reading
The court is corrupt. The recent discussions regarding presidential immunity have shed light on the concerning state of affairs within the Supreme Court. The idea that Presidents could essentially have unlimited immunity, except for impeachment while in office, is a dangerous precedent that should not be tolerated. The Supreme Court Justices entertaining such notions are treading on thin ice.
The Supreme Court’s role is to interpret current laws and ensure they align with the Constitution. There are no laws explicitly granting immunity to the President, and this power is not mentioned in the Constitution. To suggest otherwise would be a clear case of judicial overreach – the court legislating from the bench and assuming powers they do not rightfully possess.… Continue reading
