JUSTICE GORSUCH: Can you give me a reason to accept it, though? That's what I'm struggling and waiting for. What's the reason to accept the notion that Congress can hand off the power to declare war to the President? GENERAL SAUER: Well, we don't contend that. Again, that would be -- JUSTICE GORSUCH: Well, you do. You say it's unreviewable, that there's no manageable standard, nothing to be done. And now you're -- I think you -- tell me if I'm wrong. You've backed off that position. GENERAL SAUER: Maybe that's fair to say.
JUSTICE GORSUCH: You're saying there's inherent authority in foreign affairs, all foreign affairs, so regulate commerce, duties and -- and -- and -- and tariffs and war. It's inherent authority all the way down, you say. Fine. Congress decides tomorrow, well, we're tired of this legislating business. We're just going to hand it all off to the President. What would stop Congress from doing that? GENERAL SAUER: That would be different than a situation where there are metes and bounds, so to speak. It would be a wholesale abdication.

The Trump administration won’t seek an appeal of the dismissal of the so-called death-eligible counts against Luigi Mangione.

New: As David Ellison prepares to take control of CNN, legendary CBS News producer Mary Walsh, who is exiting, sent a goodbye note to colleagues.
In the note, Walsh writes, "We’ve been told to aim our reporting at a particular part of the political spectrum. Honestly, I don’t know how to do that."
We are living through a period where we have mass government layoffs literally causing countless deaths while at the same time DHS has so much money that Noem will have a different luxury jet for every day of the week

On the day of Abrego's return to the United States from El Salvador, Todd Blanche congratulated McGuire and thanked him for your hard work on the case, according to Patton.
McGuire says of the call: "That would be pretty standard, I think."
Last exchange of redirect:
Q: Who leads the prosecution team today in this case?
A: I do.
Judge allows Patton to have a "limited" recross

McGuire says of Ben Schrader's resignation:
"I didn't want the people of the Middle District of Tennessee to lose him."
McGuire's cross-examination has ended.
AAG Woodward is now trying to rehabilitate the witness on redirect.
To be clear, Abrego's pretrial release conditions include home detention and location monitoring, but this is the first hearing in his smuggling case in which he is not in criminal or immigration custody.
Then-top prosecutor Rob McGuire said he and Schrader are "friends," calling Schrader an "excellent prosecutor" and "honorable man."
Schrader's longtime ex-deputy Rascoe Dean is now on Abrego's legal team.
On the day of Abrego's indictment, the district's criminal division chief Ben Schrader resigned.
We just learned he wrote a memo explaining why he thought Abrego shouldn't have been charged. He wanted the memo forwarded to "D.C." It never was, per testimony. www.allrisenews.com/p/abrego-vin...
"Prosecutor's Abrego probe began after late Sunday email from on high"
Hours after receiving the case, the prosecutor who charged Abrego learned about a key witness from Todd Blanche's aide — with unusual timing.

On April 30, Singh thanked McGuire for the "detailed readout" and called charges against Abrego a "top priority for us."
Those communications were quoted in part earlier in court records.
Patton presses McGuire on the details of Abrego's speaking indictment, which dirtied Abrego up with uncharged allegations such as alleged gang associations, narcotics trafficking and firearms.
McGuire agreed that he was looping Singh into the fact of a speaking indictment.
This communication appeared in court papers before today's hearing.
The wrinkle is McGuire conceding that he didn't know about the witness when Singh emailed him on Sunday, timing that McGuire acknowledged showed it was of heightened importance.
