Trump Administration Files IEEPA Tariff Appeal to U.S. Supreme Court – Asks for Expedited Review

U.S. Solicitor General D. John Sauer has asked the Supreme Court to accept the case by next week, hear arguments in early November and “expedite” its ultimate ruling “to the maximum extent feasible.” [Appeal Here] with [Expedited Review Request Here]

From the request for expedited consideration, “The en banc Federal Circuit’s erroneous decision has disrupted highly impactful, sensitive, ongoing diplomatic trade negotiations, and cast a pall of legal uncertainty over the President’s efforts to protect our country by preventing an unprecedented economic and foreign-policy crisis,” Sauer notes.

Adding comments from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, “The recent decision by the Federal Circuit is already adversely affecting ongoing negotiations. World leaders are questioning the Presi-dent’s authority to impose tariffs, walking away from or delaying negotiations, and/or imposing a different calculus on their negotiating positions.”

Supreme Court Blocks Lower Court Ruling, Permitting Trump Administration to Fire Dept of Ed Workforce

In a 6-3 Supreme Court decision today, the majority have blocked a lower court ruling that stopped the Trump administration Dept of Education from downsizing the federal agency.

The justices apparently voted 6-3 to stay the lower court ruling with the DEI justices (gay, latino, black) filing a 19-page dissent. [SEE RULING HERE] The high court lifted an injunction a federal judge in Boston granted in May against the firing of Dept of Education bureaucrats.

 

[SOURCE]

The lower court judge ruled the staff cuts were so drastic they would prevent the department from carrying out duties mandated by Congress. He also said the mass firings appeared to be part of Trump’s plan to eliminate the Education Department entirely, despite a lack of congressional authorization to do so.

Today, the Supreme Court again affirmed the President is within his power to control the size and scope of the executive branch.

Supreme Court Green Lights Trump Administration Plan to Downsize Government and Shrink Payroll

The Supreme Court has approved a request for intervention by the high court and blocked a lower level court ruling that stopped the Trump administration from reducing the size of government.   In an 8-1 ruling [SEE HERE] with again only Ketanji Brown Jackson in dissent, the court has stayed the lower court ruling.

[Source]

WASHINGTON – […] The Trump administration can move forward with plans to fire tens of thousands of workers across the federal government, the Supreme Court ruled Tuesday.

A judge in California had blocked the layoffs, finding that they would likely violate federal law. But the justices granted an emergency appeal from the administration seeking permission to enforce a Feb. 11 executive order that instructed agencies to carry out dramatic “reductions in force.”

Supreme Court Gives President Trump a Huge Win – No More Nationwide Injunctions Allowed

In very simple terms, the Supreme Court ruled today (6-3) that federal judges can only grant relief to the individuals or groups who brought a particular lawsuit and may not extend those decisions to protect other individuals without going through the process of converting a lawsuit into a class action, a type of litigation that requires challengers to clear procedural hurdles.  This effectively ends the issue of nationwide injunctions.  [SCOTUS Ruling HERE]

[Supreme Court Ruling Here]

The Supreme Court did not rule on the merits of the end to birthright citizenship for children of illegal aliens. However, the Trump administration and DOJ are very happy.

“Today, the Supreme Court instructed district courts to STOP the endless barrage of nationwide injunctions against President Trump,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a post on Twitter. “This Department of Justice will continue to zealously defend POTUS’s policies and his authority to implement them.”

Supreme Court Rules DOGE Auditors Can Access Social Security Records for Review

In a 6-3 decision with the DEI justices disagreeing, the Supreme Court ruled today that appointed members from the Dept of Government Efficiency (DOGE) can access Social Security records for review.  [Decision Pdf Here]

This is a big win for those concerned about waste, fraud and abuse within the government because the SSA facilitates approximately $1.3 trillion in payments from the treasury each year.  The Social Security Administration is the largest expenditure of taxpayer receipts in the entire government.

I’m going to continue noting the pattern of Justice Ketanji Brown-Jackson on the court decisions because her installation was the most transparently political operation in SCOTUS history.  Karine Jean-Pierre was to Biden’s White House Press Secretary, as Kamala Harris was to the position of Vice President, and as Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is to the Supreme Court.

KBJ is not very intelligent, not even remotely, and it is highly doubtful she is the actual author of all her dissenting opinions.  Behind the facade that KBJ represents we will likely discover the Lawfare network.

As we outlined since January 6, 2021, the Biden nomination/appointment of Brown-Jackson to the Supreme Court was a foregone conclusion, the only issue was the timing {GO DEEP}.  The 10th Anniversary of Trayvon Martin provided the opportunity. In order for Obama/Clyburn to get to KBJ, they had to shift Merrick Garland out of his judicial chair. That’s the reason we had Attorney General Merrick Garland, while Deputy AG Lisa Monaco ran Main justice.

Supreme Court Rules 7-2 to Permit Removal of 500,000 Migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela

A federal judge in Boston previously blocked the Trump administration’s plan to end a Biden-era program that granted humanitarian parole protection for more than 500,000 migrants from: Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela.  Today the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 7-2 that President Trump can eliminate the program and potentially deport the migrants. [RULING HERE w/ KBJ Dissent]

[SOURCE]

This is a good opportunity to remind everyone that installing Justice Ketanji Brown-Jackson was an Obama operation using Joe Biden. I wrote about the plan a full year before KBJ was nominated to the Supreme Court [GO DEEP] Everything was by design.

Ketanji Brown-Jackson was always going to be installed in the supreme court as part of the overall Obama team’s use of Joe Biden.  Merrick Garland was removed from his position specifically to create the path for KBJ to travel.  Everything about this was planned well in advance of Biden’s installation.  KBJ is to the judicial branch what BHO was/is to the executive branch.

Merrick Garland was pulled from the DC judicial circuit to replace him with KBJ.  Garland was never going to be the U.S. Attorney General in anything more than a title.  Deputy AG Lisa Monaco was the person in control of Main Justice during Joe Biden’s tenure.

Supreme Court Keeps, Mostly Punts, Temporary Block on Deportation of Terrorist Aliens Using ‘Alien Enemies Act’

The Supreme Court attempted to split the baby between executive “national security” power and the dynamic use of the “Alien Enemies Act” today with a ruling that temporarily blocks the Trump administration from deporting criminal alien gang members under the UEA until the criminals are afforded some undefined amount of time to appeal their repatriation status.  Essentially, this is a stall and punt routine. [READ RULING HERE]

From the Ruling, “To be clear, we decide today only that the detainees are entitled to more notice than was given on April 18, and we grant temporary injunctive relief to preserve our jurisdiction while the question of what notice is due is adjudicated. [See post, at 13 (ALITO, J., dissenting).] We did not on April 19 —and do not now— address the underlying merits of the parties’ claims regarding the legality of removals under the AEA. We recognize the significance of the Government’s national security interests as well as the necessity that such interests be pursued in a manner consistent with the Constitution. In light of the foregoing, lower courts should address AEA cases expeditiously.”

The 7-2 ruling was unsigned. Justices Alito and Thomas dissented. The main opinion issued by the court was labeled “per curiam” — a term meaning that it was issued by the court as a body, rather than any individual justice. However, Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote a separate opinion concurring in the decision. But Kavanaugh wrote that he’d prefer to have the Supreme Court dig into the legality of Trump’s Alien Enemies Act invocation right away, without waiting for the issue to be hashed out by lower courts.

Todd Blanche, D John Sauer and Ed Martin are Very Serious People

Deputy U.S Attorney General Todd Blanche, United States Solicitor General D. John Sauer, and Dept of Justice Investigative Lead, Attorney Ed Martin, are very serious people in Main Justice.

The deliberate nature of the trio recently resulted in the Senate division of the weaponized DC system, rejecting the nomination of Ed Martin to lead the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Washington DC.  The need for control is a reaction to fear. Apparently, the DeceptiCons were fraught.

DAG Blanche coordinates and prioritizes the day-to-day USAO office activity around the country.  Blanche is the general in charge of eliminating Lawfare efforts.  Solicitor General Sauer faces the Supreme Court.  Sauer is the general in charge of framing the arguments from Blanche that reach the court.  Meanwhile, DC USAO Martin, now with position changed to Presidential Appointment Martin in charge of investigating weaponized justice efforts, is the lead investigator on all enmeshed corruption within Washington DC.

Blanche, Sauer and Martin are serious and purposefully driven men.

In our discussions and outlines CTH does not trade in hopium, nor do we promote the popular albeit nonsensical and futile anticorruption efforts favored by most high-profile media types.  The reality of the DC silo system is not easily understood, and that is entirely by design.  High profiles may generate headlines, but do not generate adequate results as increasingly evidenced by AG Bondi, Director Patel and Deputy Bongino, all performers.

As the Washington DC USAO, Ed Martin was in position to address the known and documented activity of a variety of former DOJ officials.  There’s a strong argument to be made that’s the reason why the DOJ’s corrupt allies in congress moved to eliminate the threat Martin represented.  However, their collective result didn’t remove him, nor did it change the objective, it just changed Mr Martin’s title.

Whereas Washington DC USAO Ed Martin previously carried the authority of the Attorney General, in the changed dynamic special appointee ADAG Ed Martin now carries the authority of the President of the United States.  A serendipitous outcome.

Lawfare on Steroids – SCOTUS Orders Trump to Stop Deporting Illegal Alien Gang Members, Judge Alito Eviscerates High Court for Judicial Despotism

At 1:00am on Saturday, the Supreme Court of the USA issued an injunction [SEE HERE] blocking President Trump from deporting illegal aliens identified under the Alien Enemies Act.  It was/is a bizarre order considering the lower court had not even ruled on the matter; worse yet, the Supreme Court created an imaginary “class” of aliens.

Any illegal alien who happens to also be a gang member, or illegal alien who would ‘smartly’ now claim to be a gang member, is ultimately the beneficiary of a Supreme Court order blocking their removal or deportation.  That’s how judicially insane this injunction is.

As outlined in the original injunction order, Justice Alito issued a blistering dissent, calling out seven of the justices who affirmed the order. [SEE HERE]
