The federal shutdown, now three weeks old

Yep, the BBC can't count. 18th of October is just 2½ weeks. It will go longer. And, yes, Trump has the right to manage the government, lay offs and all.

This will get thrown out in the Supreme Court just like the very same partisan judge's ruling against Trump was last time. This is an activist judge working for the Democrats.

The White House claims a left-wing judicial ‘insurrection.’ But many GOP and Trump nominees are rebuking the president, too

 

Oct 7, 2025 -- Around 2 p.m. Saturday, top White House adviser Stephen Miller took to X to warn of a “growing movement of leftwing terrorism” that is “shielded by far-left Democrat judges.”

 

But it didn’t come from a “Democrat judge”; it came from someone Trump himself had nominated in 2018, US District Judge Karin Immergut.

 

Despite the administration’s claims of what Miller has labeled a left-wing “legal insurrection,” the list of judges ruling against the president includes a fast-growing number of Republican- and even Trump-appointed ones.

 

To date, GOP-appointed judges have ruled against the administration in more than a dozen high-profile cases. And their ranks include at least eight Trump-appointed judges.

Maybe you can enlighten us when the previous ruling of this conservative judge, which was blocking the National guard deploy to Portland, was thrown out by the supreme court.

In fact, that ruling hasn't even been judged on by the supreme court.

'Shadow docket' emergency procedural rulings. First 'merit' case since Trump 2 starts soon: Conversion therapy. The next 2: Tariffs and the Fed Reserve Cook firing.
