    TN to Allow DEADLY FORCE in Defense of PROPERTY!

In every other state you are limited to only non-deadly force in defense of property, period—and often not even that much. There’s been nothing to prevent other states from adopting as similar deadly force in defense of personal property law as Texas—it’s just that none ever has. Now that may be changing. The Tennessee legislature is considering a statute that would allow for the use of deadly force in defense of personal property under certain circumstances. Known as SB 1847 in the TN senate or HB 1802 in the Tennessee house, the proposed statute borrows quite a bit from the long-standing Texas law, but also differs in important respects.

Because the Trump DOJ is in favor of the dismissals, as obviously are the men convicted, the request to vacate is unopposed.  This lack of opposition gives a sad face to Progressive Fascist Democrat Representative Jamie Raskin, Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee, who has rushed in with an estrogenically hysterical and largely fantastical amicus brief asking the D.C. Circuit to appoint adversarial counsel to fight the dismissal. In response, Proud Boy defendant Zachary Rehl has filed his own counter argument, pro se, and my buddy Bill Shipley has filed his own counter argument in defense of his client Oath Keeper Robert Minuta. Rehl’s argument comes across as personally compelling, while Shipley brings the technical legal expertise one would expect of a career DOJ prosecutor who went on to defend more than 90 January 6 defendants. We’ll break down both of those in today’s show! Join me LIVE at 11 AM ET! Episode #1303.

In a unanimous 3-0 decision in US v. California, a federal appeals court has enjoined California's "No Vigilantes Act," the state law designed to force ICE agents to wear visible identification during enforcement operations. The court didn't hedge or split hairs: when state law directly regulates the federal government's performance of its functions, the Supremacy Clause voids it — full stop. This is a stinging rebuke of Governor Gavin Newsom's deliberate strategy to obstruct federal immigration enforcement through legislation. The panel, authored by Trump-appointee Judge Mark Bennett, rejected California's public safety fig leaf outright, ruling that constitutional supremacy isn't subject to a balancing test. "The Supremacy Clause forbids the State from enforcing such legislation." Done. This is the second blow to California's anti-ICE legal campaign in two months — and another courtroom victory for the Trump administration. The Constitution is not a menu from which ambitious governors get to order selectively. Today, the 9th Circuit made sure Newsom knows it. Join me LIVE at 11 AM ET as I break it all down!

R.W., reversing a DC Court of Appeals ruling that said a police officer lacked reasonable suspicion to stop a driver who was slowly backing out of a parking lot at 2 AM — after two of his companions bolted on foot when a cop arrived. The Court ruled 7-2 that the officer's "totality of the circumstances" analysis was textbook Fourth Amendment law. The decision is straightforward, well-reasoned, and consistent with decades of precedent. What's not straightforward is Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson's solo dissent — a performance so disconnected from the legal mainstream that even Justice Sotomayor refused to join it. Jackson accused her colleagues of "wordsmithing" the lower court, and argued that two people fleeing a parked car at 2 AM raise no suspicion whatsoever. I'll break down exactly what the Court held, why it's correct, and why Jackson's dissent reads like just another petulant diatribe. This is SCOTUS doing its job well — and one justice doing hers poorly. Join me LIVE at 11 AM ET as I break it all down! Episode #1299.

The article cites "more than two dozen" people, grants all of them anonymity, and names exactly zero of them. Not one person willing to put their name behind what they told the journalist. If the story is true and Patel is the disaster they're describing, you'd think at least one of those two dozen people would stand up and say so publicly. Instead, we get a wall of shadows. That's not journalism. That's a drive-by. Now, I want to be straight with you about what Patel is actually up against, because this lawsuit — however satisfying it may feel — faces a serious legal obstacle. Patel is a public official, which means he can't win a defamation case just by proving the story is false. Under the New York Times v. Sullivan standard, he has to prove actual malice — that The Atlantic either knew the claims were false when they published them, or acted with reckless disregard for whether they were true or false. That is a brutally high bar, and it's the bar that has killed more defamation suits against media organizations than almost anything else. So here's the question we're going to dig into today: does the complete absence of named, accountable sources — combined with the FBI's on-record denials before publication — give Patel enough to argue reckless disregard? We'll walk through the lawsuit, the legal standard, and what it's actually going to take for Patel to win this thing. Join me LIVE at 11 AM ET as I break it all down! Episode #1297.

Knapton claims self-defense, and told responding officers that the burglars came at him. Unfortunately, his own home surveillance footage casts doubt on this narrative of self-defense. Even worse, Knapton’s self-defense statements to police, while intended to be exculpatory, are actually likely to be used by the prosecution to incriminate him further than the damaging video alone.
