Ep 136 — Trump Announces Plan To Break Law. Gets Immediately Enjoined. Again.
Podcast: Law and ChaosPublished On: Tue May 27 2025
Description: President Trump’s genius plan to announce that he’s about to violate the First Amendment — and then do it! — runs into the judicial buzzsaw as two federal courts restrain his attacks on Harvard and the law firm Jenner & Block. And his campaign’s lawsuit against Iowa pollster Ann Selzer continues to be a humiliating series of self-owns. But SCOTUS hands the administration a win by allowing the president to fire anyone and everyone. They exempted Fed Chair Jerome Powell for, uh, reasons. Links: Jenner & Block v.
