Injustice for all is a weekly series on how the Trump administration is trying to arm the judicial system and those who retaliate.
The Supreme Court gives President Donald Trump treats regularly, with perhaps the most important thing being his general immunity from prosecution, enhoching him to dismantle democracy and transform the government into his own personal label machine.
But now, the conservatives of the Supreme Court are ready to offer another gift to the President, and it is almost as precious.
Monday, the court announced that it hear a matter Presented by Rebecca Slaughter, the Democratic Member of the Federal Trade Commission who Trump pulled. But just because it plans to help slaughter.
There is already a 90 -year precedent, Executor of Humphrey c. UNITED STATESin which a unanimous court said that the president can only withdraw an FTC commissioner for fault or negligence of his functions.
The lower courts, apparently still stupid enough to believe in the previous one, conscientiously followed this precedent, judging that the slaughter was poorly removed. But the chief judge John Roberts cast Earlier this month to grant an emergency, allowing the dismissal of the massacre.
Now the conservatives of the Supreme Court have According to Certiorari Before the judgment, which means that they will hear the case of Slaughter immediately rather than waiting for the complete and final decisions of the lower courts. At the same time, they allowed Trump to immediately release the slaughter without reason.
These same judges already Let Trump shoot Each person named Democrat of the Consumer Product Safety Commission and withdraw The head of the Merit Systems Protection Board and the Chairman of the National Council for Labor Relations. But they did everything on the shadow file, not wanting to admit that they give total control of the executive branch to a petulant madman.
It is not an exaggeration to say that winning Humphrey’s executor spends the end of the agency’s independence. Trump will be able to withdraw any agency chief or commissioner for any reason. The entire executive power, the entire structure of the agencies, will be subject to its whim.
And the conservatives of the Court did not do anything to reassure the country that they will not continue to help Trump become a king.
The average judge continues to make Trump restore California his money
Monday, a federal judge judge That the National Institutes of Health had to thaw $ 518 million, he illegally held at the University of California in Los Angeles. The NIH said it was a punishment for anti -Semitism and allow transgender students to participate in sports. Yeah, it’s true.
In his decision, the judge explained that these funds were poorly dismissed because they had no specific explanation for the grant “.
In other words, the termination of subsidies financing for reasons unrelated to this subsidy is not authorized. This same injunction also requires defense and transport services to disclose funding funds in other schools in the University of California system.
The same judge too restored $ 90 million in the National Science Foundation funds at the UCLA in August. No word on what the next decision of the Trump administration will be in his attempt to extort $ 1 billion From the UCLA, but you know they will not stop trying.
Ed Martin returns to his hilarious peak
Ed Martin, the former American interim prosecutor of Washington, DC, and now a thug of all hunters at the Ministry of Justice, had to clean up after Right radio host Alex Jones on Wednesday.
On September 15, Martin wrote a threatening letter to the FBI agent’s lawyer William Aldenberg, who was an applicant in one of the defamation combinations against Jones for his insistence on the fact that the Hook de Sable shooting was a hoax.
In one way or another, Martin considered that it was the role of his working -class working group, which only makes sense if you buy Jones theory that these cases were in fact laws carried out by Masters of Democratic FBI Democrats.
But the letter was supposed to be secret! Martin even said it in the threatening letter!
However, Jones had to go and show it, so Martin had to start again The next day, with a brief “Sorry, no one is under investigation, please ignore”.
It looks like Martin did not start again not because he entered hot water at Doj, but because Jones was stupid enough to put him to the explosion instead of leaving Martin to work in the shadows.
The awakening judge forces the Trump administration to let the wind farm occur
Monday, judge Royce Lamberth granted The request for a Wind Farm revolution for a preliminary injunction raising the Trump administration block on an offshore wind farm which he built in New England.
Although the project is almost 80% complete and Provided for food 350,000 houses in Rhode Island and Connecticut, he was the victim of Trump Disturbed hatred wind energy. But, of course, this is not the excuse used by the administration to stop construction. No, they have implemented “unpertified national security problems”.
But Lamberth did not.
Expect to hear screams of rage about the unlocking of the administration, but Royce Lamberth is a named Reagan, 82, it is therefore quite difficult to make this stick. It turns out that even some conservative lawyers do not buy Trump’s assertion that he can do what he wants when he wants.
It turns out that the president’s personal will is not really the law
In March, the Trump administration told states that in order to receive emergency and disaster financing from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, they had to agree to enforce the Federal Immigration Act.
A whole bunch of blue states heardSaying that the change of conditions violated administrative law by being arbitrary and capricious. There is also a Spending clause The question here, since the federal government cannot force states to make its auctions by attacking it to the conditions of grant, and the conditions of grant cannot be linked to the objective of the program.
And guess what is not at all linked to funding for disasters? Trump’s immigration repression.
The administration tried to tell judge William Smith that he was not allowed to review their efforts to undermine the blue states in this way. They even trotted the argument that this decision could not be arbitrary and capricious or violates the law because the president ordered it.
But none of this worked.
Black-smith judge Binding funds in the event of a disaster to the application of immigration was unconstitutional and ordered that the funds are released, in part because funds in the event of a disaster cannot be recovered significantly after the emergency.
Trump will surely find another corrupt way.
