Episode notes
Federal Pressure Against Cashless Bail
- The White House views cashless bail as enabling repeat dangerous offenders and seeks to pressure cities through federal leverage.
- Trump ordered withholding federal funds and approvals to push jurisdictions away from cashless-bail policies.
Create Trained Guard Quick-Reaction Forces
- States must prepare National Guard quick reaction forces trained for public-order response as directed by the White House.
- Each state should set up and train units to be deployable for quelling civil disturbances when legally appropriate.
Flag-Burning Strategy Avoids Direct Ban
- The flag-burning order seeks alternative legal angles because the Supreme Court protects flag burning as speech.
- The White House plans prosecutions under related offenses and visa revocations for foreign nationals who desecrate the flag.
