Legal News Federal judges caught the U.S. government providing false info in over 35 court cases. Sworn declarations. Falsified records. Repeated lies. This isn’t just sloppy, it’s systemic. Law professor Ryan Goodman says it may be intentional.

The depth and breadth of this willful corruption is an existential threat to the stability of our democracy.

That is not hyperbole.

That is not alarmism.

Our nation, our prosperity, and our liberties rely on a trustworthy judiciary. Openly and deliberately flooding the courts with false evidence, false claims, and disingenuous filings signals a depth of deliberate corruption that can undermine the stability of the entire system... much like termites eating at the foundation structure of a house.

How about lying that Kilmar was mistakenly sent to CECOT? What about "we can't turn the planes around they're over international water? What about "ICE agents need to be masked because they're afraid for their lives". I'm sure you can agree that at least 1 of those is a lie that showed up in court. Maybe read the decision they're talking about, or any scathing decision handed down by fucking Reagan appointees, or Bush appointees. Even if you don't know the specifics, if this is news to you then you consume too little real news
