    Desperate Trump Sues Every Judge After Big Losses
    Jun 27 2025
    The Trump Administration, continuing its assault on the Rule of Law, has just sued each and every of the 16 judges in the Maryland federal court system along with the Clerk, because the Chief Judge there has issued an administrate order providing that for 48 hours, Trump cannot send people outside of the country to avoid federal jurisdiction, until a federal judge has reviewed the habeas corpus petition. Michael Popok takes a deep look at the suit and discusses which judge will be assigned to the case outside of Maryland. Subscribe: @LegalAFMTN Visit https://meidasplus.com for more!

  • SCOTUS Sends Secret Message to Stop Trump Order

    SCOTUS Sends Secret Message to Stop Trump Order
    Jun 27 2025
    Did Justice Sotomayor just outfox the Trump DOJ by sending out an “invitation” to a Massachusetts federal judge to find a way to circumvent a recent Supreme Court ruling to make sure that deportees obtain due process before being sent to countries like South Sudan or Libya? Michael Popok takes a close look at Sotomayor’s dissent, the next steps taken by Judge Murphy to tell the Trump Administration that the Court’s ruling doesn’t stop his other “remedial” orders, and Trump’s DOJ rushing to the Court and asking for a “clarification” because the Judge is being mean and “defiant.” For their buy 1 get 1 50% off deal, head to https://3DayBlinds.com/LEGALAF Subscribe: @LegalAFMTN Visit https://meidasplus.com for more!

    Legal AF Full Episode - 6/25/2025
    Jun 26 2025
    Michael Popok is back with Karen Friedman Agnifilo with the Legal AF podcast, the #1 law and politics podcast on this week's YouTube rankings, and they take on: 1) a judge finding that the Trump Administration's "evidence" did not support holding Kilmar Abrego in jail nor prove that he was in the MS13 gang; 2) Trump suing all the federal district judges in Maryland in a blatant example of forum shopping; 3) the ultimate DOJ insider blowing the whistle on the DOJ and its assault on federal judges and its impact on the confirmation hearings of Trump's top lawyer Emil Bove for a lifetime appeals court judge position; 4) the Trump Administration running back to the Supreme Court because a Federal Judge ruled that he still has jurisdiction to stop removals without due process to third world countries; 5) E Jean Carroll winning again for the second time in 2 weeks at the Second Circuit Court of Appeals to affirm her almost $100 million in judgments against Trump, and so much more at the intersection of law and politics.
