Factory jobs are back, baby! Back to laying off workers, like they were doing when Trump’s brain froze in the 80s. What’s more American than Mack Trucks? And yet, the tariffs cost jobs instead of creating them! Put a “businessman” in the White House!

The White House basically gave Boasberg no choice. And unless they start cooperating very quickly, possibly even if they do, they’re looking at criminal contempt like a freight train. That’s going to raise some tricky issues of penalty, but the underlying finding should be secure. What total jerks.

The principle anyone (who isn't a slave) being held against their will has the right to some kind of process before a judge is so ancient the Code of Hammurabi takes it for granted. It's probably literally prehistoric, a practice predating written history. It is the deepest root of what law is.
