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. […]
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 […]
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 […]
The Supreme Court temporarily blocked the new Texas immigration law. It’s the same law that the 5th Circuit of Appeals ruled on Saturday could go into effect while the legal battle continued. To recap, the new immigration law, Texas SB 4, was ruled unconstitutional by U.S. District Judge David Ezra last week. He also ruled […]
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 […]
Democrats and other NeverTrumpers are trying their best to keep Donald Trump off the Republican primary ballot in several states. Their best is not good enough, according to the Supreme Court. If you have not done so, go and read Ed’s write-up on the Court’s decision. The left is in meltdown mode. Everyone else is […]
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 […]
Let’s preface this discussion by reminding ourselves that predicting a Supreme Court decision based on oral arguments is usually a fool’s errand. Justices often engage in Socratic-method questioning of the lead attorneys, challenging them to allow a better exposition of their arguments, and to cover gaps that may have appeared in the motions. After spending […]
The Texas National Guard puts up razor wire to stop, or at least, slow the flow of illegal immigrants. Border Patrol agents cut it to help illegal immigrants come through the barrier. Governor Abbott began an initiative to secure the state’s border with Mexico called Operation Lone Star in March 2021. That is something Abbott […]
