Morning Docket: 12.29.25 - Above the Law
"The Supreme Court told the Trump administration it couldn't deploy national guard troops to police cities. [ One First]"
"Kavanaugh used this opinion as an opportunity to convince people to stop calling his racial profiling standard a racial profiling standard. [ Raw Story]"
"Epstein files reveal Trump's first administration DOJ put reporter under surveillance for investigating Epstein's crimes. [ Daily Beast]"
"Under a standard obligation not to make extrajudicial remarks about Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the government... immediately makes extrajudicial remarks about Kilmar Abrego Garcia. [ Mother Jones]"
The Supreme Court ruled that the Trump administration could not deploy federal troops to police cities, limiting federal involvement in domestic policing operations. Commentators expect the ruling to be a temporary obstacle to the administration's plans. Justice Kavanaugh framed his opinion to reject characterizations of his racial-profiling standard as racial profiling. Newly released Epstein files show the first Trump administration Department of Justice authorized surveillance of a reporter investigating Epstein's crimes. Sean Combs seeks resentencing in his criminal case. The government publicly commented about Kilmar Abrego Garcia despite an obligation against extrajudicial remarks. Lateral movement among young lawyers appears not to be excessive.
