Lecornu de nouveau à l'Elysée. Le Premier ministre démissionnaire a été aperçu par l'AFP sur place. Macron pourrait-il renommer Lecornu? "Oui, pour activer l'article 16", ironise un conseiller politique. "La France ne peut pas tenir ses engagements internationaux, c'est l'une des conditions prévues par la Constitution", précise mon interlocuteur.

“This country has a longstanding & foundational tradition of resistance to #government #overreach, especially in the form of #military intrusion into #civil affairs,” Immergut wrote, later adding, “This historical tradition boils down to a simple proposition: this is a nation of #ConstitutionalLaw, not #MartialLaw.”

A federal judge on Saturday blocked the #Trump admin from deploying #troops in #Portland, at least temporarily thwarting Trump’s push to send the #military into Oregon’s biggest city.
#Oregon demonstrated that such an action would violate the state’s #10thAmendment right to control its #NationalGuard, US District Judge Karin J. Immergut, a Trump appointee, wrote in her decision granting a temporary restraining order.

"It turns out, they don’t actually care about precedent (no matter how many times they lied and claimed to care during their Senate confirmation hearings). They don’t actually care about the text. They don’t actually care about judicial restraint. They want the political outcomes they want and they have the votes to do it."

"Thomas is saying that if he doesn’t like where the 'train' of stare decisis is leading him, he can just get off and go in a different direction. Remember, Thomas’s war against the 20th century can’t achieve victory if old Supreme Court opinions have weight."

"The polite norms around the Supreme Court have been obliterated. This should be apparent to everyone; every one of these shadow docket rulings where the majority semi-anonymously grants a would-be dictator more power to overthrow the Constitution only reinforces the fact that the high court’s age of respectability is over."

The feds also claimed the South Shore neighborhood was “a location known to be frequented by Tren de Aragua members and their associates,” but #DHS gave NO EVIDENCE to support the assertion, & authorities did not confirm that any of the people arrested were members of the Venezuelan gang.
