Hard to argue with this. Absolute heartland of the sort of thing that should result in multiple impeachments.
Jennifer N. VictorToday, in violations of the rule of law that would be sufficient for impeachment in any other American presidency but aren't in this one because pathological partisan loyalty has rotted the constitutional order:
I've become convinced that more US law schools need to lean in to comparative public law. Putting Wurman to one side, I've been struck over the years at how little US-trained lawyers know about other constitutional cultures. Clichéd, I know, but this one's true.

Literally every country in the world, apart from a handful of exceptions like North Korea, has vibrant civil society groups who advocate for democracy and human rights. Nobody is “culturally incapable” of constitutional self government.

Judge Kathleen Williams also sanctions Trump's lawyers, issues monetary sanctions, and harshly criticizes DOJ's "untenable" conduct. More to come at Law Dork: www.lawdork.com
The juxtaposition here of the normative atop the prerogative state is so pure and disorienting.
ACLUNEW: We submitted a public comment opposing the Trump administration's proposal to cut off funding to local governments and organizations that don't bow to the president's political agenda. This would threaten critical services for people across the country.
