Don’t forget that *Trump’s own lawyer’s argument* to the Supreme Court in the immunity case was that the check on the President using his immunity to order criminal acts was that those under him would not follow illegal orders. Now it’s a crime for lawmakers to remind servicemembers of that?

The President doesn't want you standing up and speaking out against him, so he's coming after me to intimidate all of us.

But I won't back down — and neither should you.

CA11 affirms lower court order tossing of Trump’s cases against Hillary Clinton and sanctioning his lawyers for bringing bad faith and frivolous claims.

Unanimous, bipartisan panel (GWB/Trump/Biden)

media.ca11.uscourts.gov/opinions/pub...
Opinion of the Court 22-13410 No. 22-14099 DONALD J. TRUMP, ALINA HABBA, MICHAEL T. MADAIO, HABBA MADAIO & ASSOCIATES, PETER TICKTIN, JAMIE A. SASSON, THE TICKTIN LAW GROUP, et al., versus HILLARY R. CLINTON, et al., CHARLES HALLIDAY DOLAN JR., Plaintiff, Plaintiffs-Appellants Defendants, Defendant-Appellee. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida D.C. Docket No. 2:22-CV-14102-DMM Before WILLIAM PrYoR, Chief Judge, and BRASHER and KIDD, Circuit Judges. WILLIAM PRYOR, Chief Judge: These four consolidated appeals concern five separate or-ders. In 2022, between his terms of office, President Donald Trump filed a lawsuit against dozens of defendants, alleging several claims, including two under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act and three under Florida law. The district court dismissed the amended complaint with prejudice for failure to state a claim. On the defendants' motions, the district court also entered sanctions against Trump and his attorneys, under Rule 11 and under its inherent authority. While those orders were on appeal, Trump and his attorneys moved the district court to reconsider each order in the light of a report by Special Counsel John Durham. They also moved to disquality the district judge. The district court denied both motions. Two defendants ask us to sanction Trump for bringing a frivolous appeal. We affirm the orders with a caveat. Because the district court lacked jurisdiction over one defendant, it erred in dismissing the claims against that defendant with prejudice. So we vacate the dismissal of those claims and remand with instructions to dismiss them without prejudice. Because Trump's remaining claims are untimely and otherwise meritless, we affirm the dismissal of the amended complaint with prejudice for the other defendants. And because Trump and his attorneys committed sanctionable conduct and forfeited their procedural objections, we affirm both sanctions orders. The Durham Report does not change our conclusions, and the district court lacked jurisdiction to consider the disqualification motion. Yet, because the appeal of the dismissal order is not frivo-lous, we deny both motions for appellate sanctions. The District Court Correctly Dismissed the Amended Complaint for Failure to State a Claim. We do not doubt that, in the light of the Durham Report, President Trump has concerns about some defendants' conduct during the 2016 election. The investigation by Special Counsel Durham found that some defendants played a role in orchestrating unverified allegations of him colluding with Russia. Durham Report 11-12, 16-17. And it found that key allegations in the Steele Dossier, relied on by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the press, were never corroborated. Id. at 13. Some appeared to be fab-ricated. Id. at 16. The Special Counsel's investigation found that Bureau officials appeared to favor Clinton and that their investigation decisions reflected that preference. Id. at 9-10. And it found that the Crossfire Hurricane investigation began without "any actual evidence of collusion." Id. at 8. Yet, those findings do not cure the deficiencies in Trump's racketeering claims. The district court committed no error in ruling that Trump's federal claims of racketeering and state tort claims failed as a matter of law. We reject the argument that the district court based its dismissal on the shotgun nature of the pleading. We address below why the dismissals were sound. C. The District Court Did Not Abuse Its Discretion in Issuing Sanctions Based on Its Inherent Authority. Federal courts have the inherent authority to "fashion an appropriate sanction for conduct which abuses the judicial process." Chambers v. NASCO, Inc., 501 U.S. 32, 44-45 (1991). This authority arises from the "control necessarily vested in courts to manage their own affairs so as to achieve the orderly and expeditious disposition of cases." Link v. Wabash R.R. Co., 370 U.S. 626, 630-31 (1962). To "unlock[] that inherent power," a court must find that a party or his attorney acted in "bad faith." Sciaretta v. Lincoln Nat'l Life Ins. Co., 778 F.3d 1205, 1212 (11th Cir. 2015). On a finding of bad faith, the district court may "assess attorney's fees." Id. The district court ordered Trump and Habba (along with her law firm) to pay nearly $1 million in attorney's fees under its inherent authority. On appeal, Trump and Habba present several arguments against the sanctions. We discuss and reject each in turn.

He goes even further, branding Leo “the woke American pope” and suggesting he’s a tool of the Antichrist.

DOJ on the March 15 Alien Enemies Act flights: “After receiving … legal advice, Secretary Noem directed that the detainees who had been removed from the United States before the Court’s order could be transferred to the custody of El Salvador.”

At Law Dork, I cover what happened Tuesday:
DOJ lawyers state that DHS Sec. Kristi Noem made decision not to return March 15 flights
Also Tuesday, ACLU lawyers name Emil Bove, now a federal judge, as a possible witness in Boasberg's contempt inquiry over the flights. And, for paid subscribers: Closing my tabs.

I've expanded on today's SCOTUS order about the Copyright Office a bit in a note because I don't find today's SCOTUS action as surprising as some others seem to find it.

substack.com/@chrisgeidne...

Here's my thinking:
The Copyright Office is under the Library of Congress, and the fight over this purported firing has therefore been different due to statutory and historical involvement of Congress in running the Library of Congress. The purported firing of Perlmutter, unlike Cook, was not directly from Trump. Instead, Trump fired the Librarian of Congress, Carla Hayden, and attempted to install Todd Blanche — the deputy attorney general (and Trump's former criminal defense lawyer) - as the acting librarian. Blanche then purported to fire Perlmutter. I think one way Wednesday's move can make sense is if viewed through that lens. Whatever the court decides in Slaughter and Cook will - regardless of outcomes - address some first-level questions in Perlmutter's case, or at least set some rules and standards for addressing them, as to the Hayden firing and effort to install Blanche. Only then can the court actually look at the purported Perlmutter firing. And yet, as with Cook, the decision in this environment for the Supreme Court to block the administration for months on end is, subtly or not, sending a sign. And, the Court's conservatives chose to send the opposite sign when the question was about Slaughter - and others.

BREAKING: SCOTUS will not grant the Trump administration’s request to allow it to fire Shira Perlmutter, the director of the Copyright Office, at this time. It puts off any decision while the court is considering the other two firings cases. Perlmutter stays in office during that time.
