Justice Matters with Glenn Kirschner

No Kings Day rallies across the country drew more than 5 million protestors. At the same time, the crowds at Donald Trump's pathetic birthday parade he threw for himself was very poorly attended, as photos attest. Glenn had the honor of addressing the crowd at the No Kings Day rally in Leesburg Virginia. He looks at crowd pictures from the nationwide No Kings Day rallies as compared to photos of Trump's pathetic little bir...

In a sweeping ruling and stern condemnation of Trump's violation of both the federal law AND the Constitution, a federal judge in California ruled that Trump must relinquish control of the California National Guard and return control to California Governor Gavin Newsom. However, the appeals court has issued a brief stay/pause on the ruling.

In ruling against Trump, Judge Charles Breyer wrote: "At this early stage of the pro...

Donald Trump created chaos in California to try to give himself a plausible reason to send troops to California. The problem is, his activation and federalization of the California National Guard violates federal law, as Glenn discusses.

Attorney General Pam Bondi and her Department of Justice lawyers said repeatedly that it was impossible to facilitate Abrego Garcia's return to the United States. Then, lo and behold, they arranged for Abrego Garcia's return to the US and waived around a two-count criminal indictment claiming that he's been involved in a criminal conspiracy from 2016 through 2025. In other words, if it's true, the first Trump DOJ let Garci...

The Trump administration has been peddling to the American people that its deportation effort would focus on immigrants who had been convicted of crimes. However, new reporting suggests that is not the case.

The administration is mindlessly and callously sweeping up undocumented men, women, and children. Given that statistics show undocumented workers pay an estimate $100 billion dollars in taxes each year, this aimless dep...

Donald Trump seems to be building a kind of insurrection Ponzi scheme. He has his ICE agents create chaos by engaging in callous, mindless, counter-productive immigration sweeps, then Trump says he must call up and federalize the California National Guard to quell the chaos HE CREATED! However, it appears that Trump violated federal law, which expressly requires that such "orders . . shall be issued through the governors ...

So it turns out that Donald Trump, Attorney General Pam Bondi, and the Department of Justice lawyers were lying all along when they claimed it's impossible to return to the United States someone they wrongfully deported, because that person was in a sovereign nation and the US had no power or authority to facilitate the person's return. For the first time, the Trump administration HAS facilitated the return of a Guatemalan...

It looks like Donald Trump's Department of Justice lawyers just can't stop violation court orders. The presiding Judge, Paula Xinis, has granted Abrego Garcia's legal team's request to pursue sanctions for the DOJ's violation of court- ordered discovery. As the Fox network (of all places) wrote: " Federal judge delivers one-two punch to Trump in Abregao Garcia case." Glenn discusses this new legal development.

State attorneys general are bringing an unprecedented number of legal challenges against Donald Trump's lawless and unconstitutional acts and executive orders.

As reported by Democracy Docket, "The Trump administration has lost a shocking 96% of the rulings in federal district courts so far this month, according to a recent analysis by Adam Bonica, a professor of political science at Stanford."Glenn discusses what may accou...

In some important new reporting by Newsweek: "Major Companies Abandon Law Firms That Signed Deals with Trump". The article states "The Wall Street Journal reported on a legal luncheon at Manhattan's Cipriani restaurant in May, where Brooke Cucinella, a top lawyer at the hedge fund Citadel, told other lawyers present that they like working with lawyers who don't run from a fight." The law firms that bent a knee to Trump, ca...

OK, so no Democrat would ever accuse Donald Trump of being a strategic thinker. But in a colossally stupid move, he blasted the very person, Leonard Leo, and the very organization, the Federalist Society, that helped deliver to him Supreme Court justices who gave him his a get-out-of-jail-free card in the form of presidential immunity.

But now, because judges he appointed are regularly ruling against him, Trump has to blame...

Donald Trump's crime, corruption, abuse of power, and abuse office hits us daily like a firehose. It can be hard to grab hold of and focus on any one corrupt act, which is precisely why he floods the zone with corruption.

Glenn takes on a particularly offensive corrupt pardon to a guy who stole money from social security, Medicare and Medicaid. Paul Walczak pleaded guilty to his crimes, was sentenced to prison and ordered t...

Judge John Bates; a long-serving federal district court judge in Washington DC ruled that Donald Trump's executive order punishing the law firm Jenner & Block was not only unconstitutional, but that Trump's actions were "doubly violative of the Constitution".

Notably, Bates (who was appointed to the federal bench by President George W. Bush) also delivered a pointed message to the law firms that decide to bend a knee to...

If Donald Trump is king of anything he's the king of losing in court. He's had three recent court losses: one on the Immigration front, one on the Department of Education front, and one involving a judge upbraiding Alina Habba for not understanding the responsibilities of a United States Attorney.

The Public Integrity Section of the Department of Justice, created in 1976 in the aftermath of the Watergate scandal, is designed to guard against political prosecutions. So, of course, Attorney General Pam Bondi promptly gutted the Public Integrity Section.

Now, Bondi's DOJ is ratcheting up prosecutions and criminal investigation of Democrats. Trump's former personal attorney, now interim US Attorney for New Jersey, Alina ...

Federal judges continue to rule against the Trump administration and the Trump Department of Justice. One of the many men wrongfully/unconstitutionally deported and imprisoned in El Salvador is a young man named Widmer Josneyder Agelviz Sanguino, who had come to the United States legally with his mother and two brothers as part of a US refugee resettlement program. Nevertheless, the Trump administration deported him withou...
