Summary

Ben Meiselas & Michael Popok head the top rated Legal AF podcast and tonight address many firsts from this week: the first federal judge to declare as unconstitutional Trump's relentless attack on an independent bar and lawyers in our free society; the first federal judge to declare Trump's use of the Alien Enemies Act unconstitutional and an abuse of power; the first standing ovation in the Supreme Court led by its Justices to support the Rule of Law in the time of Trump; the first standing ovation given to a sitting Supreme Court justice for her withering rebuke of Trump for attacking judges; and so much more at the intersection of law and politics.

0:00.0	Donald Trump was handed a massive loss in federal court in connection with his unlawful executive orders attacking law firms, specifically a case involving the law firm Perkins Coohy that standed up to Donald Trump, stood up to Donald Trump, sued him and a federal judge in probably the most scathing order I've read in a long time ruled against Donald Trump.
0:24.9	We'll read from that order and we'll talk about its implications.
0:28.5	Also, Donald Trump received massive L's, massive losses in cases involving migrants from Trump appointed judges.
0:37.8	For example, a judge in the Southern District of Texas ruled that Donald Trump's invocation
0:44.3	of the Alien Enemies Act was patently unlawful.

1:23.0	social security data of the American people to Elon Musk's doge. I assume they're trying to fabricate
1:30.4	an emergency that Elon Musk is going to be leaving his position soon, and they want your

1:42.0	information and data. We'll talk about what's going on there.
1:45.8	Trump had previously lost a similar request in the lower courts, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeal,
1:51.8	and then a district court in Maryland.
1:54.0	Now he's telling the Supreme Court this is an emergency.
