12:27Now PlayingProPublica reviewed hundreds of cases and found more than 40 where federal judges — including Trump appointees — explicitly questioned the "presumption of regularity": the old norm that courts take the Justice Department at its word.
That shield is cracking. Misrepresentations. Withheld facts. AI briefs citing nonexistent law. A detainee "convicted" of marijuana possession in 2009 who would have been 4 years old. ICE moving a man after a release order. A Scalia clerk turned Bush judge calling out "spurious" grand-jury abuse against political opponents.
This is not a vibe. It is a documented bench revolt against a DOJ that spent down its own credibility.
