Republicans railroad the First Amendment, and the Pentagon’s war crime worries
Injustice for all is a weekly series on how the Trump administration is trying to arm the judicial system and those who retaliate.
Welcome to the week we learned that the first amendment is coded by Lib and apparently more a suggestion than a requirement.
Here is the republican senator Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming explaining how she was formerly Really in freedom of expression but not so much now:
In normal times, in normal circumstances, I tend to think that the first amendment should always be in a way the ultimate law. And that there should not be almost no check and counterweight. I don’t feel that anymore.
Oh. All right. Can we ask why the first amendment has become optional?
I have the impression that something has changed culturally. And I think there must be some knowledge that things have changed. … We just can’t let people be called these kinds of crazy things and be surprised when politicians are shot and the death threats they receive, then try to get additional money for security.
Lummis does not mean “politicians” here. If she did, she would have said that in June, when the senator from the state of Minnesota, Melissa Hortman, and her husband were murdered by a hard curator on the right. She means “far -right activist Charlie Kirk and any other person we judge.”
Kayleigh McENANY, one of Trump’s four press secretaries of Trump, is also entirely on the first amendment, just above, you guys:
Yes, if Charlie Kirk has no amendments, the rest of you don’t get it too. This is how the Constitution works.
Even Pentagon lawyers are worried that Trump has war crimes
The Ministry of Defense helped Trump Strike two venezuelan boats That the government says it completely, certainly, quite full of drugs and narcoterrorists. Can you see this proof? No. It goes to another school; You can’t know it. Instead, the administration will continue to pump movies to Priver showing the bombing.
There is just the question of the teenager to know if this kind of thing is strictly legal. Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell said They are indeed legal superior: “Lawyers up to bottom of the chain of command were deeply involved in the examination of these operations before execution, no questioning of their legality and rather advising subordinate commanders and [Defense] Secretary [Pete] Hegseth that the actions proposed were authorized before starting. »»
Jesus. None of them can speak as a normal person. They must now all speak like Trump, a braggadocio meli-melo and the kind of atmosphere you get when a high school learns a few new words but not really how to use them.
In one way or another, not everyone is comforted by this comfort, so some of these lawyers up to the bottom of the chain of command are now rushing to find a way to give military staff making the strikes a kind of legal protection so that they are not personally responsible. So, no real concern about the entire international problem, violating human rights, war crime, does it look like?
Real heroes all around.
Even Trump’s nominees know that the administration is lying about deportations
On Thursday, Judge Timothy Kelly, appointed by Trump on the Washington, DC federal bench, published a preliminary injunction Prevent administration from sending unaccompanied children to Guatemala.
This is the case where one appointed by Biden, judge Sparkle Sooknann, was on emergency right On weekends, the complaint was filed, and it literally spent the weekend to hammer the phones to try to prevent the administration from expelling a bunch of children in the middle of the night.
The administration told court that these dead night deportations were completely cool because they were requested by the Guatemalan government and the parents of children in this country.
If the administration thought they would have a better blow with Kelly, who is the one who is permanently in the case, but no. Kelly did not buy the lies of the administration at all, writing:
There is no evidence in court that the parents of these children asked for their return. On the contrary, the Guatemalan Attorney General reports that officials could not even find the parents for most of the children that the defendants found eligible for their “reunification” plan. And none of those who were located had asked that their children return to Guatemala.
Seriously, simply imagine being on the side “expelling children under the cover of darkness is good, in fact”, as the government is here.
A judge spends everything
The Trump administration has hosted migrants on the 10th floor of the 26 Federal Plaza in Manhattan, and all that on this subject is so illegal, the least of which is not the refusal to allow the entry to the legislators. Thursday, federal agents were to be so absolutely excited that they could zipper Nearly a dozen democratic legislators and arrest dozens of others.
They are probably less excited about judge Lewis Kaplan 84 pages review This has accompanied its preliminary injunction requiring space improvements. Kaplan noted that the complainants who were, there would probably be to succeed in their assertions according to which the conditions of their violent confinement the first and fifth amendments.
And just so that the administration could not make one of his “God of God, we simply did not know what you meant, your honor”, Moves, the preliminary injunction of Kaplan is Six pages long And decomposes everything, from minimum floor space to the requirement of private places to call lawyers, to allow people to keep their asthma inhalers – you name it. There is really no other way to manage an administration that has been constantly innovative to find new ways to harm migrants.
Hell yeah, the small juries also embark on the action
We had the chance to Myriad of stories From Washington, DC, great juries refusing to indicate the people of American lawyer Jeanine Pirro, accusations of brutally swollen crime. Now, a small jury – the guy in the courtroom – also told the administration to beat the sand.
A jury in Los Angeles just acquitted A demonstrator accused of hitting a federal officer during a demonstration. How long did it take them to deliberate? Just a shade for more than an hour. The government Firstly busy Brayan Ramos-Brito with a crime, saying he had struck a federal agent. Then they dropped him to an assault for offense and brought in the head of the border patrol sector and testify that he totally saw Ramos-Brito hit the officer. The problem for the government was that, although the videos presented at the trial indeed shown a federal officer pushing Ramos-Brito, they did not show that Ramos-Brito striking the agent.

The office of the American lawyer in Los Angeles did not want to comment on this humiliating verdict, because who would really do it? But they were impatient to say that they had completely obtained guilty pleas for charges of offense in three other cases. I don’t really know how it removes the bite here, but everything that helps you sleep at night.
