<p>Kate, Leah, and Melissa dive into the legal pushback over ICE and the National Guard in Chicago and Portland, anti-marriage equality goblin Kim Davis’s unwelcome return to the courts, the administration’s lawless strikes on boats in the waters around South America, and the specter of Trump 3.0. Then, they preview November’s SCOTUS cases, including <i>Learning Resources v. Trump</i>, which challenges Trump’s authority to impose tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. </p><p>Favorite things:</p><ul>
