Trump’s DOJ lost in court, filed to drop the appeals, then suddenly reversed course and kept fighting.

Same cases. Same department. Total flip flop.

That kind of chaos inside the Justice Department raises serious questions.

Trump’s DOJ went 0 and 4 in court defending executive orders targeting major law firms.

After losing every case, the DOJ moved to dismiss the appeals. Then reversed course.

That kind of flip-flop raises serious questions.

Maybe Marco Rubio will say "I take a lot of pictures with people" "I have no idea who this is but I hear he's a nice guy"-

Absolutely right - that's a legal presumption only.

Justice Department publishes documents with sexual assault allegations against Trump The department shared FBI documents outlining allegations involving Trump.

This allegation against Trump that he hit and sexually assaulted a 13 or 14-year-old girl is only an allegation and everyone is entitled to the presumption of innocence. But it is certainly not an "exoneration."

The System Is Losing Its Guardrails Welcome to Under Color of Law’s weekly recap of the biggest legal stories shaping the headlines.

Presidential immunity is expanding executive power. The Epstein files are becoming political. Courts are starting to question the Justice Department’s credibility.

The legal guardrails are weakening.

The Department of Justice has sued 30 states and DC for access to their unreacted sensitive voter data. My law firm is fighting them in all 30 cases.

We are dedicating so many resources because these are the most important legal fights and the future of free and fair elections is at stake.

Trump’s War on Iran raises a bigger question than foreign policy.

How much power should one president have to use the military?

Why doesn't the Trump administration care about getting public backing for his wars? I explore one reason why in my latest substack -

The U.S. has not formally declared war since WWII.

Yet wars keep happening. That gap between the Constitution and reality matters.

Courts operate on the presumption of regularity. Government officials are assumed to be doing their jobs properly.

But when credibility erodes, a harder question emerges.

Should there be a presumption of irregularity instead?
