This could be a major indicator of things to come. Last year, Idaho passed a law banning transgender genital mutilation surgery for children, along with the prescription of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones. The law was immediately challenged by the parents of two minors, known in court records only as Pam Poe and Jane Doe. […]
You may recall the name of Nicholas Roske from the chaotic days in the summer of 2022 when the Supreme Court was preparing to rule in the Dobbs case. He’s the guy who showed up at Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s house with a case full of guns, ammunition, and related gear looking to assassinate Kavanaugh. […]
Texas can finally begin to enforce its new state law against illegal immigration — but not after a head-spinning 24 hours. Late yesterday, CBS News reported that the Supreme Court allowed a stay on enforcement of SB4 to lapse. Within an hour, the court then reinstated its stay, only more broadly — a signal that […]
An increasing number of Democrats and liberals are growing quite concerned over the looming possibility that Joe Biden could lose the election in November and usher in another term for Donald Trump. An unsubtle sign of progressive voices all but saying this directly can be found in suggestions on the left that Supreme Court Justice […]
Last March, Matt Taibbi testified before congress about the investigation that was widely known as the Twitter Files. Here’s a bit of what he had to say. The original promise of the Internet was that it might democratize the exchange of information globally. A free internet would overwhelm all attempts to control information flow, its […]
Today, the Supreme Court will hear arguments in Murthy v. Missouri, one of several cases brought against federal officials by multiple states seeking to block them from using their influence over social media companies to suppress primarily conservative content and opinions. Lower courts have previously sided with the states in some of these cases, but […]
“Dred Scott” is a landmark decision because it answered questions regarding slavery that the Supreme Court had not previously addressed. It is also one of the most infamous decisions, furthering the great divide facing the nation regarding the question of slavery and moving the country further down the path toward the Civil War. Dred Scott […]
Earlier today, Karen wrote about the rending of garments and gnashing of teeth at various liberal media outlets in response to the Supreme Court’s unanimous ruling that Colorado will not be able to remove Donald Trump’s name from the ballot this year. From that, we can infer that all other such efforts have been effectively […]
Precisely as I had repeatedly predicted. The only surprise here, and it’s only a mild surprise, is that the court ruled unanimously against Colorado in its attempt to disqualify Donald Trump over his supposed status as an insurrectionist. The nine justices took this so seriously, in fact, that it issued the decision per curiam. Even […]
Alternate headline: Help us, Obi-Wan Sotomayor, you’re our only hope. Two days ago, I wrote about the absurd and vindictive penalties in Judge Arthur Engoron’s judgment against Donald Trump and its prima facie violation of the Eighth Amendment. It also unjustly blocks Trump from the normal appeals process unless he wants to destroy his business […]
