Ethics investigations are not the purview of US Attorneys.

What. The. Fuck.

President Trump's Executive Order on Birthright Citizenship is Facially Unconstitutional. Full Video on my TikTok Page. #trump #trump2024 #immigration #law #lawyer #executiveorder #potus #scotus #DonaldTrump #constitution #deportation #birthrightcitizenhip

Trump's Executive Order on Birthright Citizenship is Facially Unconstitutional. His interpretation has no founding in the text of the Constitution, or the history as it's been applied since (and before) our country's founding. #trump #eo #birthright #constitution www.tiktok.com/@law_of_the_...

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. showed us the power of courage, compassion, and unwavering belief in justice. His dream reminds us to keep striving for equality and dignity for all.

Well that was short lived.

TikTok goes offline, says they are working with Trump to restore services. #tiktok #trump #scotus

It's been real, TikTok Fam. Check out my new content homes here: lawofthewild.live

TikTok Ban unanimously upheld by SCOTUS. Gorsuch: "But the question we face today is not the law’s wisdom, only its constitutionality."

Donald Trump sentenced for 34 felony counts in New York, with an unconditional discharge, meaning no further penalties imposed. #Trump #Court #Law #Trump2024🇺🇸 #crime

5-4 Decision: SCOTUS WILL NOT INTERVENE IN TRUMPS SENTENCING. Thomas, Alito, Kavanaugh, Gorsuch dissented.

That docket number. 👀

The New York Court of Appeals, the highest court in the state of New York has declined to intervene in the sentencing of Donald #Trump for his 34 felony convictions related to falsification of business records in the first degree. All eyes are on #SCOTUS

Motherfucking Chess. The Justice Department stated it will release Special Counsel Jack Smith’s final report on Trump’s January 6 case. However, it intends to withhold the final report on the classified documents case while prosecutions of Trump’s co-defendants are still ongoing.

Judge Cannon (issuing a ruling on a case that's no longer before her 👀) temporarily blocks release of Jack Smith's special counsel report on the fedeal investigations/prosecutons of #Trump. #law

Donald Trump files an emergency petition with a New York intermediate appellate court, requesting an immediate stay of his sentencing set for Friday. They are hearing it in less than an hour. #trump

Donald Trump has filed an appeal in the NY Appellate Division seeking to halt Friday's sentencing, arguing Judge Merchan wrongly denied his claims of presidential immunity, which he asserts extends through the post-presidency transition.

"Disbarment is the appropriate discipline for an attorney who commits murder." - MN Supreme Court.

Justice Merchan orders Donald Trump be sentenced for his 34 felony convictions on Jan. 10, before his inauguration as President.

John Locke laid the foundation for modern legal and constitutional principles, reminding us that unchecked power leads to oppression.

BREAKING: The Second Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld the E. Jean Carroll verdict against Donald Trump, citing that Trump has failed to demonstrate any judicial or procedural errors in the lower court.

A DUI blood warrant without specifying the substances sought is like a warrant to search a drawer without naming the items to be seized. The Fourth Amendment demands particularity to prevent fishing expeditions.

Though his presidency faced criticism, Jimmy Carter's legacy shines in his dedication to human rights. He challenged authoritarian regimes, promoted peace and democracy, founded the Carter Center to combat diseases and ensure fair elections, and championed housing with Habitat for Humanity.

Justice Stevens’ dissent in Citizens United highlights a chilling truth: when people believe politicians and laws can be bought, democracy suffers. Even the perception of the influence caused by money in politics is corrosive.

French poet, journalist, and novelist Anatole France highlights the irony of equality: laws ban both rich and poor from sleeping under bridges or begging, yet the impact is felt differently. How equal is justice, really?

The 22nd Amendment wasn’t just about election limits. During debates, Rep. McCormack stressed it was one of the most vital safeguards against prolonged power. Allowing a VP loophole contradicts the original intent to prevent any president from exceeding two terms. #ConLaw

the worst part of H1-B visas is that they shackle employees to the sponsoring employer, which is both unjust and gives employers awful incentives - both in their treatment of foreign employees who have no alternative, and in using those employees to undermine conditions for other workers.

The treatment of Robert Brooks at Marcy Correctional Facility is a clear violation of the Eighth Amendment's ban on cruel and unusual punishment. Such brutality underlines the urgent need for prison reforms and strict oversight. abcnews.go.com/US/shocking-...

Judge finds DFL (Dem. Party in MN) Rep.-elect Curtis Johnson did NOT meet residency reqs for #mnleg and is ineligible to serve. There will be a special election, but this gives the GOP a one vote majority until a special election happens. Not enough to pass bills, but enough to elect a GOP speaker.

Gov't: "There's security concerns, just Trust Me Bro". Court: "Okay"

Applications for law school are up 35 percent... just in time for students to compile massive loans before firms replace entry level legal jobs with AI.

I have DoD clients who get denied clearances because of a DUI from five years ago. But Hegseth can't put a drink down and he's being considered for SecDef because nothing matters.

Yes, strip them of the federal funding they do not receive

A Georgia judge ordered Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to turn over to a conservative watchdog group any communications she may have with special counsel Jack Smith or the now-disbanded House Jan. 6 committee. thehill.com/regulation/c...

An embarrassing L for Fulton County DA after a 2.5 year shit show that saw a defense attorney arrested and a judge forcibly recused.

I hope I'll be hearing of a shit ton of more pardons/clemency of people not related to Biden promptly: -Non-violent drug offenders -Service members convicted under repealed military conduct laws -Nonviolent migrants facing deportation -Whistleblowers facing retribution for transparency efforts

Gerald Ford pardoned Richard Nixon (1974) George H.W. Bush pardoned Iran-Contra figures (1992) Bill Clinton pardones Marc Rich (2001) George W. Bush commuted Scooter Libby (2007) Barack Obama commuted Chelsea Manning (2017) Donald Trump pardoned Joe Arpaio (2017) Spare me the feigned outrage.

D’Souza has posted an admission to his website that the videos of “ballot trafficking” in "2,000 Mules" is false and misleading.

Trump’s pick for FBI Director, Kash Patel, has called for arresting people in the media and he continues to claim the election in 2020 wasn’t fair. America, we’re screwed. This is incredibly dangerous.
