Judges escalate sanctions to change government behavior

This week Ken and Josh discuss more on tariffs — what awaits litigants like FedEx who seek refunds of payments they made under President Trump’s now-invalidated tariffs, and what courts might do with his efforts to reconstruct the tariffs under non-IEEPA legal authorities that come with their own difficulties. We discuss news that Jeanine Pirro has given up on indicting the Democrats who made the “you must refuse illegal orders” video, and we have an update on Matthew Isihara, the SAUSA who was held in contempt of court in Minneapolis. (At least the detainee who got dumped in El Paso without his documents will get his plane ticket paid for.)

That’s for all subscribers. Paying subscribers (thank you for your support!) also get our looks at:

* The magistrate judge who authorized a search of a Washington Post reporter’s home but is now angry that the government failed to alert him to a law that appears to make their search illegal. (Isn’t it his job to know the law?)

* Aileen Cannon’s efforts to block the release of Jack Smith’s report on the Mar-a-Lago documents investigation.

* A ruling from a federal judge in West Virginia with a novel Fourth Amendment theory prohibiting certain ICE tactics (this is likely to get a lot of appellate action).

* A ruling that it’s not misleading for Buffalo Wild Wings to market its “boneless wings” which aren’t actually made from wing meat.
