The Intersection with Michael Popok

In breaking news and less than 3 hours after the MAGA Supreme Court 6-3 ruled that no federal judge has the power to almost ever issue nationwide injunctions in the context of birthright citizenship attack by Trump; the plaintiffs counsel filed a new motion for temporary injunction and to certify a class to get the birthright citizenship issue back up to the Supreme Court has fast as humanly possible. Popok explains how this exactly what Justice Sotomayor and even Kavanaugh told them to do in their separate opinions.

In a special cross over edition of Strict Scrutiny meets Legal AF, constitutional expert Professor Leah Litman joins Popok to break down the repercussions of the latest US Supreme Court MAGA right majority decision destroying the ability of federal judges to reign in Trump's abuse of power, and its impact on future civil rights litigation.

As a failed diversionary tactic from the fact that Trump can't locate Iran's uranium stockpile, he has now attacked the NYT and CNN and threatened them with what else -- a defamation lawsuit-- because they properly reported "preliminary" assessments in leaked top secret Trump intelligence community documents that said that Iran's nuclear program only set back a few months. Popok keeps his eye on the "loose nukes" on his latest hot take.

Will NJ follow NY's footsteps who just disbarred Trump's lawyer Ken Chesebro, and ultimately disbar Alina Habba, Trump's political hack now acting interim US Attorney for NJ, for violating half a dozen ethics rules by prosecuting or threatening to prosecute the Democrats in NJ from Congressperson to Mayor to Governor to Attorney General, or chicken out. Popok calls out NJ's Office of Attorney Ethics for them to do the right thing and open the investigation now.

E Jean Carroll, who was sex abused and defamed by Trump 2x, is about to earn her 3rd Victory against him in the appellate courts of New York. Popok breaks down what will be her second victory in less than a month, as a Second Circuit panel during oral argument indicates that it believes that Trump and his former attorney Alina Habba, waived any argument that he has "presidential immunity" to avoid paying her about $100 million dollars in judgments.

Trump just sued Judge Xinis in Maryland, who is the process of finding his administration in contempt, along with all the other judges in the Maryland Federal Court system, arguing that cannot block his attempts to send people out of the country to avoid federal court jurisdiction. Popok explains what happens next and which judge is now able to hear a case when all judges in a district are sued at the same time.

Did Trump really bomb iran to get nominated for the nobel peace prize and get the federal reserve to lower interest rates? Popok examines the new “top secret” leak that Iran’s nuclear program will be rebuilt in 90 days, so that can’t be the reason he hit it.

On the latest episode of The Intersection podcast join Michael Popok as he provides urgent analysis at the intersection of law and politics and, on this special "lying" and "f-bomb" edition, takes on: 1) a new bombshell DOJ insider who just ratted out senior leadership at the DOJ, including someone up for a lifetime federal judge position, for instruction DOJ lawyers to not only not comply with federal court orders, but to lie about it, and tell courts to "F' off,"  2) the MAGA majority of the Supreme Court undermining hundreds of years of Due Process and 5th Amendment rights in a 1 paragraph "emergency" order; 3) a Federal Judge calling out Trump for lying about Harvard and trying to lead it to "slaughter" as she rules for Harvard agains Trump for the second time in 2 weeks; 4) a Federal magistrate finds that the Trump Administration has no real evidence other than "double hearsay" to keep Kilmar Abrego in detention until his trial on human smuggling charges, and so much more.

Harvard may be rethinking its settlement strategy against Trump, as Federal Judge Burrows just handed them another win in a scorching opinion against the Trump Administration, this time quoting George Washington, that if Harvard and the Courts don't protect the First Amendment, we will all be lead "silently like lambs to slaugher." Popok examines Judge Burrows latest Preliminary Injunction, her second in 2 weeks against Harvard and why Harvard needs to fight not settle.

The ultimate insider at the DOJ just dropped a whistleblower bomb on Trump's DOJ -- alleging in a new whistleblower charge that one of Trump's top DOJ lawyers, Emil Bove, instructed him to lie to federal judges, to tell them to "F' off" rather than comply with their orders, and he catalogues all the times the DOJ lied to Judge Boesberg and Xinis. Popok takes a close look at the new charges coming out a day before Bove's confirmation hearing for a life time appointment to the 3rd Circuit that starts tomorrow.
