SCOTUS To Decide If Leftist Group Can Acquire DOGE Records– thefederalist.com
News Source
EXCERPT:

The U.S. Supreme Court agreed on Tuesday to take up a major case that will decide whether a leftist nonprofit can acquire records from President Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

The high court revealed in its newest order list that it has added U.S. DOGE Service v. U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to its 2026 merits docket. This means that the justices have agreed to schedule the case for oral argument and will subsequently release a decision on the merits of the issues presented.

The case’s origins can be traced back to early 2025, when the nonprofit Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request seeking to obtain records about DOGE, which was established to root out waste, fraud, and abuse in the federal government. This included attempts to acquire DOGE’s “organizational chart and financial disclosures,” according to CBS News.

As described by InfluenceWatch, the Soros-backed CREW is a leftist advocacy group “focused on public integrity issues.” The organization has gained a reputation for “opposing actions of both the first and second Trump administrations,” which includes filing “several lawsuits challenging administrative actions since the beginning of the second Trump administration in 2025.”

In rejecting CREW’s request, the Trump administration argued that DOGE is not subject to FOIA because it serves as an advisory entity to the president and operates as part of his office. As such, CREW asked the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to compel DOGE to turn over the sought-after records.

EXCERPT:

President Trump must cancel any remaining television commercials paid for with millions of dollars in taxpayer money to promote his political message, a federal judge ordered Sunday night, even as the administration said the ad campaign was coming to an end.

U.S. District Judge Jennifer L. Rochon in New York sided with a coalition, including the nonpartisan watchdog Common Cause, that challenged the ads as an illegal misuse of funds. She told the administration to cancel any remaining ads, including any set to air Sunday night, in granting a temporary restraining order.

“Defendants shall not enter into, renew, or expand any agreement authorizing the development, creation, dissemination, placement, or airing of the challenged advertisements” during the two-week duration of her order, the judge said.

The order was in effect as of 6:45 p.m. ET on Sunday.

Asked for comment, the White House referred to an Oct. 5 social media post from Mr. Trump in which he defended the taxpayer-funded ads as “rather standard” but, amid backlash, said he would pay for them from his political fundraising. In a court filing late Saturday, the Justice Department argued that the temporary restraining order was unnecessary because “the alleged offending conduct will end tomorrow.”

The Department of Homeland Security tapped $20 million in taxpayer money for the ads. Legal experts have suggested that violated a federal statute against congressionally appropriated money being used for “publicity or propaganda” and potentially other laws.

“We are pleased the court acted swiftly to prevent more taxpayer dollars from being used for such blatantly unlawful political propaganda,” the plaintiffs said in a statement issued by Democracy Forward, the nonprofit legal organization that represents them. “There is no legal justification — and no precedent — for the president to use the machinery of the government and funds set aside by Congress for other uses to influence electoral outcomes that further his own agenda.”

EXCERPT:

The seemingly never-ending drama of whether or not President Trump can proceed with his planned projects to beautify the federal city of Washington, D.C., continued Monday during an explosive hearing in the courtroom of U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes.

Reyes, in a word, was ticked that the federal government – in this case, the National Park Service (NPS) – had cut down hundreds of trees from the East Potomac Golf Links course over the weekend without her permission. The trees were removed as part of Trump administration efforts to transform the historic golf course into a championship-caliber facility.

In a hearing Monday morning, Reyes, a Biden appointee, said she was “thoroughly unamused” that the National Park Service notified the court at 4:55 p.m. Friday – just before the holiday weekend was to commence – that tree removal would begin on Saturday morning. She told government lawyers that the abrupt removal of the trees “has cost the government all of its credibility” in the case.

Reyes continued, “In what universe did anyone in your office think that was acceptable?!”

The case in question is the one brought by the far-left DC Preservation League and two local residents, who are represented by Democracy Forward, Democracy Defenders Fund, and Lowell & Associates. Democracy Forward has called the project an “unlawful” assault by Trump on public land and is involved in several ongoing legal fights over the president’s plans for Washington.

Reyes ordered the immediate halt to any more tree removals at the course through at least 7 AM Tuesday and threatened contempt charges if her order is ignored.

EXCERPT:

A bar ethics complaint has been filed against New York Attorney General Letitia James over public statements she made about an alleged sexual assault at Cornell University shortly before her appointment as special prosecutor in the matter.

The National Legal and Policy Center submitted the complaint to the Attorney Grievance Committee of the New York State Supreme Court. It centers on a September 28 social media post in which James wrote, “What this young woman has been forced to endure is horrific and unacceptable,” and added, “To her, and to all survivors: you’re not alone. We stand with you.”

The post came two days before Governor Kathy Hochul appointed James special prosecutor to investigate allegations involving members of the university’s Chi Phi fraternity, known as the Cornell 7.

The complaint argues that the statements demonstrated clear bias by indicating which account of the October 19, 2024, events James accepted before any investigation by her office began. It states that such comments by the state’s highest law enforcement officer on a highly publicized case violate New York rules of professional conduct and compromise the impartiality required of a prosecutor.

According to new memos obtained by the White House Government Transparency Task Force, FBI agents used a pen register and trap-and-trace device in order to monitor President Trump’s Chief of Staff Susie Wiles’ phone.

By doing so, they were able to track communications with President Trump’s defense lawyers, campaign staff, and at least five journalists.

Here are the details:

HOLY SMOKES. Jack Smith’s team TRACKED the calls of Trump’s defense lawyers by monitoring Susie Wiles’ phone, per newly declassified FBI memos reported by Just The News

Smith’s team also SECRETLY met with disgraced CIA Chief John Brennan and the meeting notes were left blank.

The memos show FBI agents used a pen register on Wiles’ phone from at least February to May 2023, logging her calls and texts with at least 21 Trump lawyers, campaign staff, and at least FIVE journalists

FBI field agents wrote that they did NOT believe there was probable cause for the Mar-a-Lago raid, but DOJ pushed ahead anyway 😡

EXCERPT:

A 99-year-old federal judge scored a major win on Tuesday in her fight against an “unconstitutional” effort to remove her from the bench.

According to a new court order, Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts transferred the judicial misconduct case of Federal Circuit Court Judge Pauline Newman from the Federal Circuit to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals. Appointed by President Ronald Reagan, Newman has served on the Federal Circuit for more than 40 years and is currently the oldest serving federal judge in the country.

The entire debacle began in March 2023, when Federal Circuit Chief Judge Kimberly Moore and the Federal Circuit Judicial Council suspended Newman over alleged concerns regarding her mental and physical health. Despite protests from Newman and her counsel, the New Civil Liberties Alliance (NCLA), this indefinite suspension — which remains ongoing — has barred the Reagan appointee from partaking in cases brought before the court.

Newman and NCLA challenged her suspension and the Judicial Council’s actions as unlawful. They argued that the body’s de-facto removal of Newman was unconstitutional and violated provisions of the 1980 Judicial Council Reform and Judicial Conduct and Disability Act (“the Disability Act“), which governs the process for filing misconduct and disability complaints against federal judges.

Oh boy, here we go with this shit.

“Third Way, the center-left think tank, is urging moderate Democrats to back common-sense reforms to prevent the left from pushing court expansion, an unpopular position that could motivate the G.O.P. base and alienate independents,” reported Puck News. “Instead, Third Way executive Lanae Erickson is suggesting that Dems pass legislation that would place 18-year term limits on justices—a cadence that would eventually lead to the appointment of two new justices every presidential term.”

Let’s call this a “yes … and?” situation. Term limits are a fine idea for judges, especially when coupled with strict ethics reforms, which Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island, who sits on the Senate Judiciary Committee, is ready to unleash if Democrats win the Senate this November.

But term limits aren’t enough, and I’m not sure where the notion that court expansion is “an unpopular opinion” is coming from. A recent Marquette Law School poll paints a different picture:

Yes, term limits and ethics are overwhelmingly popular and should be the first step. But expanding the court is still supported by a majority of Americans. Is it contentious and controversial? Of course. Republicans won’t surrender their ill-gotten Supreme Court gains lightly. But it’s a divided country, and attitudes toward the court are aptly aligned with our nation’s partisan split.

There is no reason that Democrats shouldn’t expand the court if given the opportunity.

The stakes are simple: Democrats can pass all the popular legislation they want, but it means little if a right-wing Supreme Court can simply strike it down—and continue rolling back rights that Americans have relied on for generations. And no, there’s no shrugging their shoulders about it. Democrats can’t simultaneously claim they’re powerless because of the court and also refuse to use the constitutional power they have to reshape it.

Despite this, Third Way has been surprisingly progressive of late, embracing an economic populism that includes dramatically expanding affordable housing, taking on entrenched corporate interests, and even declaring healthcare a “basic human right” while pushing automatic coverage for everyone.

A Pennsylvania judge just found out the hard way that there are, in fact, consequences for being overtly partisan.

On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) denied former Judge Mark Cohen’s petition for certiorari, leaving in place a 2024 ruling by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court that upheld his suspension over a years-long stream of partisan Facebook posts.

Cohen wasn’t particularly shy about letting his feelings be known on his page, posting everything from his unabashed praise of Pennsylvania’s Democrat governor, Josh Shapiro, to his thoughts on Tennessee restricting Critical Race Theory (CRT) being taught in state classrooms (“Shameless retrogression!”).

In short, his public postings read like Democrat Party talking points.

Cohen apparently started his Facebook page back in 2007 when he was serving in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, supposedly “to get people involved in the Democratic Party” and to inform his constituents about important issues.

So Ordered: An Originalist’s View of the Constitution, the Court, and Our Country– www.dailysignal.com
News Source
EXCERPT:

Justice Samuel A. Alito’s new book, “So Ordered: An Originalist’s View of the Constitution, the Court, and Our Country,” is not a conventional judicial memoir—and that is precisely its strength. This carefully curated collection of 19 lectures and speeches, delivered between 2007 and 2025, offers something rarer than autobiography: a sustained encounter with the mind of one of the Supreme Court’s most consequential jurists.

Organized around originalism and textualism, the role of judges, religious liberty, threats to the Constitution, and the American experience, the book ranges from baseball and the Gettysburg Address to judicial review and mankind’s search for meaning. The result is not a miscellany, but a portrait of a judge who understands that law does not operate in a vacuum—and that the Constitution is inseparable from the history, habits, and character of the nation it governs.

Alito begins with a deceptively simple question: How should a judge interpret the Constitution? His answer—originalism—is familiar. His treatment is not. Rather than defend original public meaning in the abstract, he asks what originalism requires of judges deciding actual cases under the discipline of precedent, collegiality, and institutional stability. He therefore describes himself as a “working judicial originalist.”

His organizing device is an originalist judge encountering seven highway exits. Six are wrong turns; the seventh—academic originalism—is legitimate for scholars but often ill-suited to judges. Originalists may lose their way by mistaking rigidity, antiquarianism, or theoretical purity for constitutional fidelity.

Alito rejects “insecure originalism,” which treats absurd results as proof of intellectual purity, and “show it to me in black-and-white originalism,” which ignores the Constitution’s architecture. Federalism, separated powers, and institutional independence may carry necessary implications even when no clause spells them out.

EXCERPT:

Jack Smith, the Biden regime’s former special counsel, is back in the news with his testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday. The Oversight Project has uncovered new records that don’t focus on the settled question of why Smith used federal power to target political enemies, but instead on how he was able to do it.

Understanding the “how” is more important at this stage. We all know why the weaponization of the Biden years happened. It happened because they wanted to extinguish a political movement so that people from around the country could never truly shake up Washington, D.C., again.

For those who believe Smith’s investigation crossed the line from legitimate law enforcement into political targeting, that broader reach is the central issue.

We also know why it can happen again if Democrats take back power.

In Democrats’ minds, they have unfinished business. They regard Donald Trump and his supporters as too great a threat to stop short the next time. That makes it essential to understand how the weaponization of government happened, how it could happen again, and what reforms are needed now to prevent a repeat.

Instead, systemic reform has largely fallen by the wayside, replaced by political declarations that government weaponization has been solved once and for all.

With few signs of meaningful accountability, the need for concrete action is urgent.

January 6 gave Democrats the justification they needed to discard restraint and use the powers of federal law enforcement against their political opponents. That effort did not stop with President Trump. It extended to his supporters, especially those who challenged the conduct of the 2020 election or became prominent figures in the broader America First movement.

Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., filed a lawsuit against former Special Counsel Jack Smith on Wednesday over his “unlawful” seizure of her cell phone records during his Arctic Frost lawfare against Donald Trump. The suit also challenges the legality of Smith’s appointment as special counsel.

“Through his Arctic Frost witch hunt that targeted conservatives across America and even the President of the United States, Jack Smith perpetrated one of the worst abuses of government power in our nation’s history,” Blackburn said in a statement. “This lawsuit is solely about holding Mr. Smith accountable and ensuring that our nation’s justice system can never again be weaponized against the American people.”

Represented by the New Civil Liberties Alliance (NCLA), Blackburn alleged that, while serving as special counsel, Smith violated her “constitutional and civil rights” by subpoenaing her cell phone toll records as part of his Arctic Frost inquiry. Smith sought and acquired a nondisclosure order from a federal court, “while withholding from the presiding judge the material fact that the subpoena sought the records of a sitting U.S. Senator,” according to NCLA. This NDO prevented Blackburn’s cell phone carrier from notifying her that Smith had subpoenaed her records.

EXCERPT:

Democratic Tennessee Representative Steve Cohen introduced over two dozen articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump this week. The move comes after the House rejected a separate impeachment resolution earlier this month.

Cohen’s 26 articles cover a broad range of allegations, ranging from Trump’s immigration policies to use of military force, to election rhetoric. The first article accuses Trump of “undermining democracy” by promoting doubt in US elections, while another accuses him of abusing his power by waging war in Iran without congressional approval. A separate article focuses on Trump’s deployment of military forces against US cities to combat unruly political agitators and crime.

“Trump is clearly the most impeachable President our country has ever endured. His continued presence in office is a danger to our democracy,” Cohen claimed in a press release. “That the sycophantic Republican majority in Congress is derelict in its duty does not mean that I must abandon my responsibilities. I took an independent oath to support and defend the Constitution. That commitment compels me to introduce this resolution today. When historians write about this period, and our constituents ask who stood up to President Trump’s lawlessness, this resolution is the answer.”

The effort comes less than two weeks after the House rejected an impeachment attempt brought forward by Representative Al Green. Green’s effort was narrower, focusing on Trump’s immigration policies and accusing him of abusing presidential authority after the killings of several civilians by federal agents.

It remains to be seen how Democrats will decide to move forward with impeachment attempts against Trump. The House voted to table Green’s resolution, and Democratic leaders did not endorse the effort.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that the Trump administration will restrict visas for individuals who “engage in or facilitate” birth tourism, a practice that exploits the United States’ 14th Amendment granting automatic citizenship to any child born within the U.S.

“Foreign commercial birth tourism networks have exploited the U.S. immigration system to sell U.S. citizenship for profit. These networks advertise and coach foreign nationals to lie on U.S. visa applications and collect tens of thousands of dollars to arrange births on American soil for the sole purpose of obtaining U.S. citizenship,” Rubio explained in a press release. 

The new policy targets foreigners “who knowingly engage in, have engaged in, or facilitate birth tourism to the United States, including owners, operators, and managers of commercial birth tourism facilitation networks, visa ‘fixers’ who coach applicants to commit fraud, foreign medical providers who knowingly abet and facilitate such travel and the fraudulent use of our Medicaid system, and other individuals who support, abet, and enable commercial birth tourism.”

The Trump administration has sought to use every tool at its disposal to defend the integrity of U.S. citizenship, protect American public benefits and U.S. taxpayers from exploitation, and safeguard national security according to the Secretary of State. 

“By restricting visa issuance of those who both engage in and profit from this fraud, we are sending a clear message: The United States will not allow foreigners to exploit our immigration system and violate the sanctity of U.S. citizenship,” he declared.
