5,000 FBI employees can no longer hide.
A federal judge on Thursday dismissed lawsuits brought by two groups of FBI agents seeking to block the Justice Department from publicly identifying names of employees involved on January 6 cases and Trump investigations.

So, the Biden administration used 5,000 employees to investigate an insignificant protest? Well, it looks as if they lost. US District Judge Jia Cobb, a Biden appointee, sided with the Trump Administration and dismissed the lawsuits.

We will now know who was involved, and why this was done.

Trump Names 2 New Nominees for Appeals Court Judge.

Winning in the courts.

Trump Names 2 New Nominees for Appeals Court Judge.

President Donald Trump said on Wednesday he is nominating a Maine litigator and a former clerk to two conservative Supreme Court justices to serve as life-tenured judges on two federal appeals courts.

Trump in posts on his social media platform, Truth Social, said he is nominating Joshua Dunlap to join the Boston-based 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals and Eric Tung to serve on the San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

The two picks to serve as life-tenured judges brought to 14 the number of judicial nominees announced by Trump in his second term. Trump has now nominated four appeals court judges, as he looks to add to the 234 judicial appointments in his first term in office.

Dunlap, a Maine-based lawyer at the law firm Pierce Atwood, has been nominated to fill the vacancy on the Boston-based 1st Circuit, which is the only one of the 13 appeals courts with no active judges appointed by Republican presidents.

President Joe Biden had sought to fill the vacancy and solidify a six-judge court with only Democrat-appointed judges, but did not secure confirmation of his nominee, Julia Lipez, before he left office.

The New England trial courts that sit below the 1st Circuit have become a popular venue for litigants seeking to challenge Trump’s agenda, and the 1st Circuit has in several instances rejected his administration’s requests to halt injunctions blocking key parts of his agenda.

“We need more TOUGH and SMART Judges on the Federal Bench, who fearlessly defend our Constitution, and Joshua will do just do that,” Trump wrote.

Tung, a Los Angeles-based partner at the law firm Jones Day, has previously served as a federal prosecutor and held positions at the Department of Justice. He previously clerked for Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch as well as Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, who died in 2016.

“Eric is a Tough Patriot, who will uphold the Rule of Law in the most RADICAL, Leftist States like California, Oregon, and Washington,” Trump wrote, citing three states that are within the jurisdiction of the 9th Circuit.

Another great win. Who cares what a traffic court judge says.

Another great decision.

Another great win. Who cares what a traffic court judge says.

In a 6-3 decision, the US Supreme Court on Monday allowed the Trump Administration to resume deporting illegal aliens to ‘third-party’ countries. This means the Trump Administration’s effort to deport criminal aliens to South Sudan is back on.

The Supreme Court granted the Trump Administration’s emergency application and paused Judge Brian Murphy’s order blocking the third-country removals. Judge Murphy says he doesn’t care what the Supreme Court ruled. He wants the illegals back here so they can vote in the midterms.

On Monday evening, Judge Murphy ignored the US Supreme Court and said his previous order remains in effect.

“The Court’s May 21, 2025, Order on Remedy remains in full force and effect, notwithstanding today’s stay of the Preliminary Injunction,” Murphy said. Murphy said he only recognizes the dissent and not the majority opinion.

I love winning. Democrat challenge to Trump suffers major blow.

Another court case and another win. U.S. District Judge Amir Ali dismissed a lawsuit from the Democratic National Committee targeting a number of Trump’s many executive orders Tuesday.

Specifically, this DNC lawsuit claimed that some of Trump’s executive orders would erode the Federal Election Commission’s independence. The FEC had pledged to remain independent, had received no directive from the White House to change its practices and vowed to abide by the law. Without evidence undermining those promises, Ali said he was compelled to dismiss the suit.

Given those assurances, Ali said, the Democratic committees needed to “point to a concrete basis for [the] conclusion” that the FEC’s independence had been undermined or facing a looming threat of such interference.

“They have not done so here,” he concluded.

Supreme Court rules that Protective Status for criminals can be removed.

Another correct ruling.

Supreme Court rules that Protective Status for criminals can be removed.

Joe Biden had issued an executive order that gave over 300,000 illegals protective status. President Trump cancelled that order. A judge put a stay on that order. Well the US Supreme Court with a 8-1 vote removed that temporary stay. The affirmative action judge was the one who voted to keep it.

Right to Due Process. How we solve this.

FILE PHOTO: Light from the setting sun shines on the Supreme Court in Washington, DC, U.S., REUTERS/Joshua Roberts/File Photo -

Right to Due Process. How we solve this.
Yes, the illegals have most of the same Constitional rights as American citizens. But due process is a slippery slope. Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996. does allow this. Under the expedited removal process, immigrants who have been in the country illegally for less than two years and are apprehended within 100 miles of the border can be deported almost immediately without going through a court hearing.

The exception is asylum seekers, who must be granted a hearing. But you have many on the left are demamnding a full-blown trial for the millions of undocumented. Here’s how you fix that. Give it to them, but they must wait in their home country for that trial. Problem solved.

DC Court Bitch slaps local Federal Judge. Again.

DC Court Bitch slaps local Federal Judge. Again.

As you know, there is a low level of federal judges who are no more than traffic court judges. Well since January they have been making decisions and claiming that they are to be observed nation wide. Well Saturday a decision was made that may put a stop to this nationwide.

The DC Court of Appeals entered a stay of Lamberth’s injunction and suspended the first-instance decision, blocking the order that allowed them to return to work. The DC Court of Appeals entered a stay of Lamberth’s injunction and suspended the first-instance decision, blocking the order that allowed them to return to work. “The Court of Appeals decision is based on fundamental issue of “jurisdiction.”

Judge Lamberth made another fundamental error, as the Court of Appeals pointed out: that the district court lacked jurisdiction to restore grants because Congress gave that authority to the Court of Claims. The Court of Appeals also stated how the SCOTUS decision compels that result, yet Lamberth ignored the SCOTUS.

Federal Judge Cancels Biden-era EEOC Rule.
A federal judge in North Dakota ruled this week that Catholic employers do not need to provide abortion accommodations as outlined in the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s (EEOC) Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA).

EEOC went full-throttle, claiming the law covered “current pregnancy, past pregnancy, potential pregnancy, lactation, use of birth control, menstruation, infertility treatments, endometriosis, miscarriage, stillbirth, or having or choosing not to have an abortion.”

Short and sweet. Since when did low level yokels have more power than Supreme Court Justices?

We’re seeing small time judges in local federal courts making decisions that go way outside of their district. What’s the left always say? Unelected officials. With powers like that, why would any judge want to go any higher if they make these calls from their echo chambers?

Short term win. A court has temporarily blocked a ruling from U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan.

The D.C. Court of Appeals halted the judge’s Tuesday ruling that ordered Citibank to release billions of dollars in green bank grants as part of Biden’s 2022 climate, tax and health care bill.

The appeals court ruled that the affirmative action judge decision did not meet the standard required for such an injunction.

The D.C. Court of Appeals said a separate order setting deadlines for parties’ responses or statements of support of the emergency motion for stay pending appeal will be issued at a later time.
