Justice Amy Coney Barrett broke ranks with the conservative majority on the Supreme Court Friday, leveraging strong words against her colleagues for their interpretation of Fischer v. United States. After the court ruled 6–3 that the Justice Department overstepped in charging hundreds of January 6 rioters with obstruction, the Trump-appointed conservative judge used her dissenting opinion to tear apart the decision that would narrow all future obstruction charges, including potentially Trump’s.Noting that the court didn’t dispute the details of the case—namely that Congress’s joint session was an “official proceeding,” that the rioters delayed the proceeding, and that Joseph Fischer’s trespassing...

Amy Coney Barrett Rips Supreme Court’s Absurd January 6 Ruling

The Supreme Court on Friday tossed some charges against Capitol rioter Joseph Fischer, “significantly weakening” the statute used to convict hundreds of rioters, according to Slate’s Mark Joseph Stern. The 6–3 decision on nonideological lines gives a boost to January 6 rioters and rests on the incredibly nitpicky interpretation of the order of words in criminal statutes.The statute at the heart of the case, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, includes two subsections that federal prosecutors have used in charging Capitol rioters:Whoever corruptly (1) alters, destroys, mutilates, or conceals a record, document, or other object, or attempts to do so, with the intent...

Supreme Court Delivers Major Win to January 6 Rioters

Sometime this month, the Supreme Court is likely to overturn something known as the Chevron deference, which grants federal agencies the authority to interpret the laws that Congress passes. The ruling, depending on its scope, could knee-cap the federal government’s ability to do its job. That would be a windfall not just for big business generally but fossil fuel interests, in particular, who would like it to be harder for regulators to limit emissions from power plants, cars, and other polluting goods. These same oil and gas executives may get another gift on top of the Supreme Court’s Chevron ruling...

Jill Biden revealed to The New York Times reporter Katie Rogers what Joe told her following the debate. Rogers queried Jill at a Biden campaign fundraising event in the Hamptons on Friday. “You know, Jill, I don’t know what happened. I didn’t feel that great.” Biden reportedly told the first lady, according to an X post by Rogers. Jill responded, “Look, Joe, we are not going to let 90 minutes define the four years that you’ve been President.” Biden has not been cagey around acknowledging his poor performance on Thursday night. Biden told a crowd in North Carolina on Friday that he knows he’s “not a young man,” and went on to acknowledge other signs of his age, “I don’t walk as easy as I used to. I don’t walk as smoothly as I used to. I don’t debate as well as I used to.” Biden added, “But I know what I do know—I know how to tell the truth, I know right from wrong, and I know how to do this job.”Read it at Daily MailRead more at The Daily Beast.

Los Angeles, CA

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass began the week by suggesting that her city consider a new mask ban for protesters, and ended it by testing positive for Covid-19. After protesters clashed outside of a synagogue in Pico-Robertson, which held an event for a company selling high-end properties in Israel’s illegal settlements in the West Bank, Democratic leaders quickly denounced the chaos and began working on ways to make everything a lot less safe for protesters. President Joe Biden called it “dangerous, unconscionable, antisemitic, and un-American,” but said nothing about the auctioning of stolen Palestinian land in Israeli settlements which the...

This past week, the Supreme Court handed down a series of major opinions: on the powers of federal agencies, on homeless encampments, and on the January 6 storming of the Capitol.But when it comes to the Supreme Court, Americans have some major opinions of their own – that our confidence in the Court, the main tool it has to enforce its authority, has eroded. It's true that, according to Pew Research, our trust in the Supreme Court has never been lower. Most Americans disagreed with the Court's decisions on abortion and unlimited campaign donations, and then we got headlines about...

Texas State

Houston, TX

Last year, Texas’s state legislature passed a measure known not so affectionately by opponents as the “Death Star” bill. The Texas Regulatory Consistency Act, House Bill 2127, preempts cities and counties from passing measures that are stronger than those passed at the state level across a broad range of policy areas. It’s an attack on Texas’s “home rule” cities, many of which (unlike the legislature) are controlled by Democrats. These cities—including Austin and Houston—have adopted their own charters allowing them to pass and enforce local ordinances so long as they aren’t specifically prohibited or preempted by state or federal law. When House...

WASHINGTON (AP) — A solid majority of Americans say Supreme Court justices are more likely to be guided by their own ideology rather than serving as neutral arbiters of government authority, a new poll finds, as the high court is poised to rule on major cases involving former President Donald Trump and other divisive issues.

4 Zodiac Signs Who Always Stand Up For Their Partner

LOS ANGELES – President Biden on Saturday night said he expects the winner of this year’s presidential election will likely have the chance to fill two vacancies on the Supreme Court – a decision he warned would be “one of the scariest parts” if his Republican opponent, former President Donald Trump, is successful in his bid for a second term.

Biden says the next president may get to name two Supreme Court justices

Trump supporters spent weeks railing that Thursday’s presidential debate between Biden and Trump would be rigged in favor of Biden, fuming about CNN’s moderation restrictions and spinning conspiracies that the debate moderators were biased against Trump. After insisting Trump would lose the debate and raging that CNN’s fact-checker would be fact-checking the debate, Trump supporters quickly changed their tune.Trump supporters and Trump himself spent the lead-up to the debate claiming that Biden would be buzzing out of his skin doped up on drugs, and instead found themselves—like most viewers—stunned at Biden’s mellowness, which the Biden team claims is due to a cold.

New York – As Trump anticipates his sentencing on July 11th in the New York hush money case, Florida Judge Aileen Cannon made a ruling this Monday. Despite rejecting Trump’s legal team's request to dismiss several charges in the classified documents case, she conceded on a minor point. She removed a portion of the charges that referenced an uncharged allegation, but upheld the other charges.

The Supreme Court’s January 6 Decision Is Utterly Baffling

Justice Amy Coney Barrett did something interesting last week in an otherwise un-interesting case. The Supreme Court delivered its ruling last Thursday in Vidal v. Elster, which involved First Amendment claims in trademark law. The justices ultimately concluded that the government can refuse to register trademarks that use other people’s names without their permission.While the decision was unanimous, the reasoning behind it was not. Justice Clarence Thomas took what seemed like a classically originalist path: He surveyed centuries of historical evidence in the English and American legal systems, concluded that there was a strong historical tradition of restricting unauthorized trademarks...
