"While there were certainly whoops of joy when Mark Joseph Stern and Dahlia Lithwick reunited in this week's Plus members-only episode, there was not much else to celebrate. A judge ruled that in the process of sending National Guard troops to Los Angeles, the Trump administration violated the Posse Comitatus Act. Sooooo what is going to be done about it? Meanwhile, a different court ruled that $2.2 billion in grants destined for Harvard University were illegally cancelled."
"To get them back Harvard will need to go back to court. Again. Mark and Dahlia discuss this news, and also how lower court judges are calling out SCOTUS' unreasoned, incoherent opinions and how some of the Justices are trying to control, alt, delete all the backbiting.

A judge ruled that the process of sending National Guard troops to Los Angeles violated the Posse Comitatus Act. A separate court concluded that the cancellation of $2.2 billion in grants destined for Harvard University was illegal, requiring Harvard to return to court to seek restoration. Lower court judges have been publicly calling Supreme Court opinions unreasoned and incoherent. Some Justices have sought to control, alter, or suppress internal criticism and backbiting within the Court. Further litigation and institutional responses are likely as affected parties pursue remedies and as judges debate standards of reasoning, accountability, and limits on executive power.
