Great job, as usual, with this story laying out all the facts then clarifying it all. Thank you. And truly, thank you Judge William Fitzpatrick. A judge who is man enough to actually do his job despite the risks, and those risks are very real. Sad and frightening how the branch of our government we trusted to defend us has turned into a weapon of vengeance so corrupt we don't recognize it. Shame on those entrusted with protecting justice and the Constitution sold their souls to the devil for job security and a sense of power. Every time we hear of a judge standing up for justice, it is encouraging and gives us hope. We have to be grateful to them, and we have to hold onto hope.

The Florida Bar Association has already begun an investigation of Halligan RE: illegal and unethical practices in these cases. Seems like she may be soon looking for a new career path as her lawyering days may be numbered.

Yes but Mr. Mouse has all of the characters he needs working with him. After all the last laudable klutz was Roger Rabbit.

It is believed that the same blunder will doom the case against Tish James, the excellent AG for New York.

What about a contempt of court charge or fine for misconduct? Even better, a dismissal by the court for political harassment and the illegal use of the court’s time and our tax dollars to file frivolous suits against anyone Trump fears, sending others to do his dirty work while he hides in the White House or a bunker, afraid of the American people. People are fed up with his corruption, violations of the Constitution’s emoluments clauses, and the 34-count indictment pending against him. Add to that him and his puppet Hegseth allegedly murdering fishermen and others without due process, while trying to escalate tensions with Venezuela to start a war. These are the real criminals who should be tried in the World Court for murder, using the courts for personal retaliation, and illegally firing thousands of federal employees while manipulating the budget process to shut down the government, leaving children hungry and our allies shaking their heads at the incompetent, dangerous Trump MAGA Republicans in the House and Senate who are violating their oaths of office.

Remember, these bastards do not have immunity. We need to go after them with a vengeance.

We can’t until the democrat’s are the majority in the House and the Senate.

They don’t have control over the Justice Department at the present.

I read or heard somewhere that a federal judge just ordered trump to get the guard out of the other states and they can’t be used to enforce the laws for ICE.

She also ruled that rump violated the Constitutions posse comitatus law. By using the American military in the states to enforce any laws against protesters and that it’s to stop immediately.

Also, I don’t remember the date. rump doesn't have immunity from prosecution for violating these laws. Nor other laws that are criminal act's by their nature. Also violating the domestic and foreign emoluments clauses of the Constitution.

She also said, that there will be no more delays, motions to extent the date. The hearing will be heard as scheduled.

A true example of Trump's administration's incompetency. Dumb, Dumber & Dumbest. Like a cartoon except not funny. Thank God for any judge that makes a lawful decision as Trump will try to axe them. I am so glad I didn't go law school as I wanted to, or have to be in the same cohort as Bondi & Halligan (Hooligan) because Democracy is important and I respect it!

They may have gone to law school but they sure as hell are not lawyers.

The story has been told as it should be and if only everyone who supports what the government has turned into would read this truth! Too bad the SCOTUS judges are as corrupt as Trump. Who has ever heard of the SCOTUS being so biased? Most of them should be removed immediately!

Thanks David. Excellent piece. This case was ludicrous from the get go. And to add insult to injury, the moron former lobbyist Blondie, selects a former beauty queen to try the case. This would make a great parody in Mad Magazine. Hopefully as the house of cards starts to fall, the idiot Halligan and Blondie will be disbarred. They sure as hell are no real Attorney's.

The Department of Injustice, Vengeance and Diversion! Has Bondi or Patel answered any substantive question put to them in a Congressional hearing? No!
