The Supreme Court (6-3) ended a lower court judge’s ruling that had paused the administration’s ban on mentally unstable people who were uncertain of their gender from serving in the military. One can easily guess who the dissenting justices were. One of them, a woman, could not define what is a woman during her confirmation hearings.
If this is a name that sounds familiar to you, it is because of the incessant droning on and on about how this illegal alien who was a member of MS-13 was deported. Democratic Senators and House members have been crying about the “abduction” of Garcia casting Garcia as a “Maryland man” and devoted father of American citizens. The media has been at the forefront of claiming that Garcia should never have been even considered for deportation.
Saving democracy! This is the latest tactic by the Deep State to protect its own survival. Lie about the activities of the current administration. Rant about authoritarianism. Do whatever it takes to block the will of the people.
One of the things that has become apparent as the weeks roll by is that PDJT’s selection of Marco Rubio to be Secretary of State was an excellent one. Dr. Tom Woods has some observations on Rubio’s roles in the Ukrainian mess.
I have written previously about Chief Justice John Roberts’ approach to the current problems within the federal court system. At that time, I suggested that Roberts was trying to give the DC Circuit Court an opportunity to correct its mistakes.

On Saturday, D.C. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson ruled that President Donald Trump violated federal law in firing Hampton Dellinger, head of the Office of Special Counsel. According to Jonathan Turley, a Constitutional expert, Jackson’s decision is forceful and well-written. Some notable members of the Left were almost giddy at the results.
The Supreme Court has stepped in and stayed a district court order for the Trump administration to pay $2 billion in US AID grants that had been paused by Executive Order (XO). This means that the case must be reviewed and adjudicated before any such action can take place.
Another lever that our elite politicians have used to avoid responsibility has been overturned by the Supreme Court. It was known as Chevron Deference. It was decision handed down from SCOTUS in 1984. It allowed federal agencies to interpret laws themselves if they felt the statute was ambiguous.
