NEW: The loudest critics of Trump in the judiciary have turned out to be Ronald Reagan-appointees. This week, another — Mark Wolf — joined their ranks, resigning to speak out against the president.

I spoke with Judge Wolf today. He’s worried. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

This is big: elected Republicans in a deep-red state saying NO to Trump even after his personal plea.

The balance is shifting - and we have to keep up the pressure everywhere.
Indiana likely will not push forward with redistricting despite pressure from White House
It’s a massive blow to the White House’s efforts to shore up a Republican House majority next year.

BREAKING: The full DC Circuit will NOT rehear the appeal over the contempt proceedings before Judge Boasberg re: the March 15 flights.

Three Democratic appointees write to say en banc review isn’t called for here b/c of the lack of “practical or presidential effect” of the panel opinion.
No. 25-5124 United States Court of Appeals FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA CIRCUIT September Term, 2025 1:25-cv-00766-JEB Filed On: November 14, 2025 J.G.G., et al., Appellees Donald J. Trump, in his official capacity as President of the United States, et al., Appellants BEFORE: Srinivasan, Chief Judge, and Henderson, Millett**, Pillard*, Wilkins* Katsas, Rao, Walker, Childs***, Pan***, and Garcia*, Circuit Judges ORDER Appellees' petition for rehearing en banc and the response thereto were circulated to pari ate dia not ot in as or of ine petiTon. on maided on or i regis to ORDERED that the petition be denied. Per Curiam FOR THE COURT: Clifton B. Cislak, Clerk BY: Is/ Daniel J. Reidy Deputy Clerk * A statement by Circuit Judges Pillard, Wilkins, and Garcia respecting the denial of rehearing en banc is attached. ** A statement by Circuit Judge Millett, dissenting from the denial of rehearing en banc is attached. *** A statement by Circuit Judge Pan, joined by Circuit Judge Childs, dissenting from the denial of rehearing en banc is attached. In short, despite the gravity of the underlying facts and the understandable concern about the government's compliance with court orders, the writ of mandamus issued by the panel has no ongoing practical or precedential effect. The vote not to review the panel's order en banc should not be misinterpreted. We fully appreciate the seriousness of the governmental conduct the district court observed, and we do not endorse the panel's premature intervention in the district court's decision-making process. Nor should this vote be understood as judicial acquiescence to any disregard for court orders. It most assuredly should not be read to diminish the judiciary's proper use of its contempt power or to excuse noncompliance by government officials. To the contrary, respect for judicial orders, and courts' independence, are essential to the rule of law. The district court has every ability to set a new deadline for production of the information it sought regarding the probable contempt it identified or to proceed otherwise within his sound discretion. For its part, the government will have the full opportunity at the appropriate time to raise any defenses it may have. If it is dissatisfied with any appealable order the district court may enter, it will have the opportunity to seek review through the ordinary process. That is how our system of justice is designed to work.

NEW: The U.S. Chamber of Commerce and Eugene Scalia (Gibson Dunn) have gone to SCOTUS asking the justices to stop California's corporate disclosure climate bills (SB261 and SB253) from going into effect. The first of the two bills takes effect on Jan 1. The application is Docket No. 25A561.
In the Supreme Court of the United States CHAMBER OF COMMERCE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, CALIFORNIA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, AMERICAN FARM BUREAU FEDERATION, LOS ANGELES COUNTY BUSINESS FEDERATION, CENTRAL VALLEY BUSINESS FEDERATION, and WESTERN GROWERS ASSOCIATION, Applicants, U.

PALMER U.S. CHAMBER LITIGATION CENTER EUGENE SCALIA Counsel of Record JONATHAN C. BOND BRIAN A. RICHMAN GIBSON, DUNN & CRUTCHER LLP INTRODUCTION In less than eight weeks, California will compel thousands of companies across the Nation to speak on the deeply controversial topic of climate change. Beginning January 1, 2026, California Senate Bill (SB) 261 will require covered businesses to publish extensive, state-prescribed reports on a wide range of climate-related topics. The reports must be published on each company's website and must evaluate such "climate-related" risks as droughts, cyclones, and rising sea levels. They must also assess the steps governments might take in response to those risks and analyze how those hypothetical governmental responses—and customers' reactions-could affect the company decades into the future. Six months later, a companion statute (SB 253) will pile on still more speech mandates, requiring companies to report emissions gen- erated by their own operations and by the energy they purchase-and eventually the emissions of everyone in their value chain, from suppliers to employees and custom- ers.
