ICYMI: A rare statement from CJ Roberts on judicial impeachments after Trump called for the removal of D.C. fed judge who ruled against deportations this weekend. Top congressional Rs still cagey about whether this will lead to any actual impeachment inquiry in the House.

A federal court’s jurisdiction does not stop at the water’s edge. The question is whether the defendants are subject to the court order, not where the conduct being challenged takes place. Were it otherwise, the government could act lawlessly overseas and courts would be powerless to stop it.

🚨BREAKING: It seems very clear that the Administration decided not to abide by the court's order. The question now is what will the judge do. Does he proceed with contempt or something short of that to defuse. Upping the stakes is the fact that the AG and her senior staff signed this notice.

President Trump’s slash-and burn overhaul of federal funding should have ignited an existential crisis for lawmakers, since they hold the power of the purse. Instead, it may be up to the courts to mend the constitutional wounds. @kelseyreichmann.bsky.social www.courthousenews.com/courts-could...

Judge Alsup just now, on Ezell's evasion: "The government has tried to frustrate the judge’s ability to get at the truth of what happened here. It set forth a sham declaration, then withdrew it, then substituted another. That’s not the way it works in the U.S. District Court."

DOJ is short staffed and has a rising workload. They just sent a signal that no one should grant them a courtesy filling extension because they use that extension as an opportunity to further injure the opposing party instead of working on their briefs.

The CR's effect on DC is a five alarm fire. By treating the DC as a federal agency & compelling the city to return to 2024 spending, Congress is mandating that DC cut its budget--its own tax dollars--by almost 20%. None of this $ will be refunded to the fed gov; it was never theirs.
