  1. Trump Admin Buys Fleet of Deportation Jets. The Department of Homeland Security has signed a contract of nearly $140 million to purchase six Boeing 737 planes for deportations. DHS will shift from relying solely on charter services to operating its own aircraft after Congress approved a major funding increase for President Donald Trump’s border and immigration agenda, according to The Washington Post. Two officials familiar with the contract and records reviewed by the Post said ICE may have broader plans for the aircraft. Congress authorized $170 billion for immigration and border operations over four years as part of the GOP tax bill, and the plane funding comes from that package. The infusion of money is tied to the administration’s effort to expand enforcement and meet its stated goal of deporting 1 million people by the end of Trump’s first year in office. https://www.newsmax.com/politics/dhs-jets-deportations/2025/12/10/id/1237798/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/2025/12/10/dhs-deport-boeing-contract/
  2. Ketanji Brown Jackson Makes Up Her Own Doctrine About 'Experts' in Bizarre Tangent During Supreme Court Oral Arguments By Michael Schwarz Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson has a college sophomore’s understanding of the Constitution. That is no exaggeration. In fact, it might understate the case. I have taught college sophomores whose knowledge of the Constitution’s basic principles far exceeds that of Jackson. During oral arguments Monday in a case involving fired Federal Trade Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter, Jackson peddled two grotesque lies, one of which showcased her own unconstitutional doctrine regarding so-called “experts” in the federal bureaucracy. President Donald Trump fired Slaughter in March. Slaughter responded by suing the president, claiming that SCOTUS’ decision in the 1935 Humphrey’s Executor case prevents the elected chief executive from firing the unelected heads of agencies without cause. On the whole, SCOTUS appeared hostile Monday to the idea that federal bureaucrats exist independent of the elected president’s will. That bodes well for Trump, the Constitution, liberty, and self-government. Jackson, of course, generally plays fast and loose with the Constitution. On occasion, in fact, she has reportedly annoyed even her fellow liberal justices, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor. On Monday, Jackson made her dubious claims during a back-and-forth with Slaughter’s attorney, Amit Agarwal. Her first lie involved the place of “experts” in the constitutional order. “Presidents have accepted,” she said, sounding eager to interrupt Agarwal and make his point for him, “that there could be both an understanding of Congress and the presidency that it is in the best interests of the American people to have certain kinds of issues handled by experts.” Imagine speaking those words at the Constitutional Convention in 1787. How might the revolutionaries present there have responded to the attempted imposition of an aristocracy of “experts”? Alas, Jackson’s second lie came moments later, when she described the federal bureaucracy as “non-partisan.” After nearly 10 years of deep-state attacks on Trump, does anyone seriously regard the federal agencies as non-partisan? https://www.westernjournal.com/ketanji-brown-jackson-makes-doctrine-experts-bizarre-tangent-supreme-court-oral-arguments/
