The conservative Supreme Court has surprisingly chosen not to help out their buddy Donald Trump for once. On Monday, the high court declined to postpone Trump’s hush-money trial sentencing, after Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey tried to sue the state of New York to delay the legal proceedings. Bailey also sought to remove Trump’s gag order on claims that it violated the First Amendment rights of voters who could not hear the former president and convicted felon speak.The case was a long-shot effort, but still, it is surprising given the Supreme Court’s decision to grant Trump near total immunity last...

[Note: Unless otherwise indicated, the commentary and quotes in this article are from the author's interview with those mentioned.]. Elizabeth Montgomery was one of the most popular actors from the 1950s to her unfortunate passing from cancer in 1995. Before, during, and after her benchmark Emmy-nominated role as twitch-witch Samantha Stephens on TV's Bewitched (ABC, 1964-1972), Montgomery made over 200 additional appearances in other weekly shows, TV-movies, and feature films.

In Corner Post v. Board of Governors, the Court renders agency rules more vulnerable to challenge. The U.S. Supreme Court in Corner Post v. Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System was faced with what seemed like a fairness problem. Corner Post objected to a rule issued by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in 2011. That rule set the fees that companies, such as Visa, could charge merchants, such as Corner Post, when the merchants’ customers chose to pay with credit cards instead of cash. When Corner Post sued, asking the court to overturn the 2011 rule as unlawfully generous to the credit card companies, the Federal Reserve responded that the six-year statute of limitations had passed—even though Corner Post had not been founded and open for business until 2018, after the statute of limitations had expired.
