... U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein said Tuesday that Trump ran afoul of the law, which only may be ignited when there is a declared war or if the U.S., is facing an incursion on its territory.

And he excoriated the administration for providing little opportunity for the men to challenge their alleged association with the Tren de Aragua gang, saying the Trump team was failing to meet the due process protections of the wartime law. ...

An article published on Bloomberg describes the 200 cases where Der Dotard has lost in court, and we're just over 100 days into this administration. I'm confident that with the Jeanine Pirro cocktail hour in the DC courts that the losses will keep coming. Imagine the thoughts of the DOJ lawyers who have to go to court time after time with no case, and then get humiliated by federal judges, and then have to return to the office and explain to some drunk, screaming 73-year old why they lost. There will be many more government functionaries that will have a black hole on their resumes, for their time tending the Dotard's dumpster fire...

I honestly wonder? Why isb't Sean Habbity Sec. of State instead of "Little Marco?"

Hannity is the official propaganda mouthpiece for Trumpy. They have nightly calls as to what type of agitprop to push out each night.

Marco is not near as good as a propagandist.

Agreed. But Sec Rubio does seem to be trying harder each day.

Yeah, imagine the deterioration of mental capacity that apparently needs to occur to place Ms Pirro in any significant governmental position.
