Trump and Elon have been labeling any judge who upholds the law and the Constitution as an activist and arguing that they should be impeached. The Chief Justice of the United States rejected their calls to impeach federal judges who have aggressively pushed back on the administration’s initiatives.

Some realpolitik: I would like Judge Boasberg to drop every possible hammer on DOJ. I just note for the record that the more aggressive he is, the more likely some kind of stay is from a higher court. It's a difficult to navigate balance.

It's way down the list and pales in comparison to the same issue w/ Musk, but worth noting amidst all the other constitutional breakdowns going on: Homan is not in legally charge of anything and has not been appointed to any Senate-confirmed office. He's another "advisor" being given unlawful power.

It's not really even relevant because of the nature of the order and who it was actually directed to, but this idea that a US aircraft somehow leaves the jurisdiction of US law when it's not over US territory is absurd and this is well-established in many contexts by both treaties and statutes.

When ICE Administrator Homan says "We're not stopping. I don't care what the judges think." - that is exactly the evidence that I would want if I were bringing a contempt motion against him. The contempt is clear. I do not know what the court's response will be - and there are only bad choices.

By their definition, any notable accomplishment achieved by someone who was not a straight white male -- no matter how or when it happened -- counts as "DEI" and "bias against whites." It's racism, pure and simple. Stop pretending there's anything more complicated at work here. It's racism.
