Trump Sets Major Trap for Himself in Supreme Court Apr 24, 2025

Show notes

One thing that is reliable is Trump posting things on social media that undermine his Administration’s legal positions and turn off the Supreme Court, which has the fate of his Administration in its hands. Now Trump is claiming that our 5th Amendment privileges and Due Process constitutional guarantees before some is imprisoned is a nuisance that should be ignored, just at the moment the Supreme Court is so deeply skeptical of him and his actions that they are entering 1 am orders without jurisdiction just to stop him from jailing people without due process. Michael Popok reports.

Trump Mistake Lands Him Devastating New Lawsuit Apr 23, 2025

Show notes

Harvard, the nation’s oldest university, is not waiting around to see if Trump made another “ooops” and mistake in threatening to cut off another billion dollars in research grants, and has had enough, filing a new lawsuit today, and hiring 2 attorneys to stop the assault on academic freedom: Bill Burck who is currently the Trump Organization’s chief ethics counsel, who brought in Robert Hur of all things, who Trump appointed as a US Attorney and who was Biden’s Special Counsel about his handling of documents. Michael Popok explains why Harvard had no choice but to file, and what message they are sending to the Harvard Law Graduates on the US Supreme Court, including Chief Justice Roberts, in hiring Robert Hur.

Trump Gets Blasted in Open Court for Willful Violation Apr 23, 2025

Show notes

In a scathing rebuke in the Abrego-Garcia “lawless seizure” case, Federal Judge Paula Xinis has just ruled that the Trump Administration and its lawyers’ “bad faith” to “willfully evade” their court-ordered obligations using “specious arguments,” "ends now.” Michael Popok examines the hearing and the judge’s new order that puts the Trump Administration and its DOJ lawyers on a fast track to another federal judge finding them in contempt of court.

Whoa! Trump Admin Exposed Falsifying SCOTUS Ruling Apr 23, 2025

Show notes

Well, if you are the Trump Administration and you don’t like a 9-0 Supreme Court ruling against you on immigration issues, just change the words in it and say you are complying! The Trump Administration was just caught lying to a Federal Judge and in its discovery submissions in the Armando Abrego Garcia case, giving Judge Xinis new grounds to find them in contempt and sanction them. Michael Popok takes a look at a new “joint status letter” filed in the case, the intentional misquoting of the US Supreme Court decision, and what Judge Xinis is likely to do about it on his latest hot take.

Trump Smacked Down by Judge Who Haunted Him in the Past Apr 22, 2025

Show notes

A senior federal judge in NY who knows Trump well from having ruled against him in the E Jean Carroll case, just told the DOJ in ruling against them on the attempted deportation and removal of undocumented to El Salvador, the he does accept their “flexible” approach to a detainee’s Due Process Rights and finds their approach to human suffering, the equivalent of the Inquisition during Medieval times. Michael Popok reports.

Trump Rocked by Scandal Spiraling Out of Control Apr 22, 2025

Show notes

We may be watching the greatest meltdown in Pentagon leadership history, with Pete Hegseth needing 3 different baby sitters and constant White House coverups, just to screw up his job and our national security on a daily basis. Michael Popok reports on a new exposé by the Pentagon’s former chief spokesperson and new reporting that Hegseth uses his wife, brother, and personal lawyer as his babysitters and handlers before he makes major decision, showing just how weak and incompetent he really is.

Trump Backstabbed by His Most Loyal Supreme Court Justice Apr 21, 2025

Show notes

Against the backdrop of polling finding that almost 60% of America would impeach Trump if he doesn’t comply with the Supreme Court’s orders, Justice Alito issues his dissent to the Court’s 7-2 decision to block Trump from continuing to deport the undocumented without due process and notice in a Texas processing center. Michael Popok reports that even Justice Alito does not completely trust the Trump Administration to comply with its orders, and he says so in his dissent.

Trump Attacks Top GOP Judge as His Plans Blow Up Apr 21, 2025

Show notes

The Trump White House—led, no doubt, by Trump’s chief immigration henchman, Stephen Miller—has taunted the Supreme Court, the Fourth Circuit, and all Americans with a sophomoric yet chilling new social media post from the official White House account. The post declares that they will not comply with the Supreme Court’s commands regarding due process and the rule of law, effectively declaring war on our Constitutional Republic. Michael Popok sees this as a perverse “call and response” to Federalist icon Judge Wilkinson’s request in his order yesterday that the “good brethren” in the Executive Branch perceive the “rule of law as vital” and “summon the best that is within us.” Judge Wilkinson, you have your response.

Legal AF Full Episode 4/19/2025 Apr 20, 2025

Show notes

Ben Meiselas & Michael Popok head the top rated Legal AF podcast and tonight debate: how federal judges up to the Supreme Court are addressing a lawless presidency; the Supreme Court’s late night surprising stay to block Trump deporting more people to El Salvador; Judge Wilkinson’s scathing yet soaring criticism of the Administration while approving of a Judge’s process that could lead to a Trump Administration contempt finding; another appellate panel leaning over to help Trump avoid a criminal contempt charge and prosecution; and why the Supreme Court has scheduled an oral argument to consider judges’ powers to issue nationwide injunctions and to decide whether the constitution provides for birthright citizenship; and so much more at the intersection of law and politics.
