>>19566932, >>19567329, >>19567337 Grassley: "I think harvesting is going to start two or three weeks ahead of normal." PN

Grassley is 90 years old today, interesting he announced the harvesting. He has stayed in the senate for this long to see his dream for the government to be fixed. Is this a 45 year achievement next year?

Chuck Grassley
Charles Ernest Grassley (born September 17, 1933) is an American politician serving as the president pro tempore emeritus of the United States Senate, and the senior United States senator from Iowa, having held the seat since 1981. In 2022, he was reelected to his eighth Senate term, having first been elected in 1980. He is the longest serving Republican in U.S. Senate history, having overtaken Orrin Hatch's record in January 2023. He is also the sixth-longest-serving U.S. senator in history.

Before becoming a senator, Grassley served eight terms in the Iowa House of Representatives (1959-1975) and three terms in the United States House of Representatives (1975-1981). He has served three stints as Senate Finance Committee chairman during periods of Republican Senate majority.[1][2] When Orrin Hatch's Senate term ended on January 3, 2019, following his retirement, Grassley became the most senior Republican in the Senate and its president pro tempore.[3][4] Upon Patrick Leahy's retirement in January 2023, he became the most senior member of the Senate.

During his four decades in the Senate, Grassley has chaired the Senate Finance Committee, the Senate Narcotics Committee, the Senate Judiciary Committee, and the Senate Aging Committee.

Grassley sought a seventh term in the 2016 election. He was expected to face a strong challenge from former Democratic lieutenant governor Patty Judge,[15] but won his seventh term with over 60% of the vote as Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump won Iowa with over 51% of the vote.[16]
2022

Tenure
1980-1989
In May 1987, the Senate Appropriations Committee defeated an attempt by Grassley to hasten payments of corn and other feed grain subsidies ahead of the scheduled payment taking place after October 1. The Grassley measure was also designed to unravel an accounting device lawmakers used previously to make it appear that they were reducing spending for the incoming fiscal year.[30] In October, during a press briefing, Grassley accused Reagan of being "asleep at the switch" and botching the handling of Robert Bork's Supreme Court nomination, adding that Bork's nomination had convinced him that the Reagan administration "has been terribly lucky for the last seven years" in other matters, including the economy and foreign policy.[31] Later that month, Grassley likened the groups lobbying against Bork's nomination to the McCarthyism of the 1950s: "The big lie is standard operating procedure for some of these groups. All you have to do is repeat the same outrageous charges, and repeat them so often that people believe they are true."[32] In November, as party leaders of the Senate Judiciary Committee met on the Supreme Court nomination of Douglas H. Ginsburg, Grassley released the text of a letter he intended to send to the American Bar Association suggesting the association was dragging its feet in reviewing Ginsburg's record.[33] After Ginsburg admitted having smoked marijuana, Grassley said, "You like to think people who are appointed to the Supreme Court respect the law."[34] Grassley joined Jesse Helms in resisting the nomination of Anthony Kennedy, Reagan's next choice for the Supreme Court, saying that he would have preferred another nominee such as appeals court justices Pasco Bowman II or John Clifford Wallace.[a]Grassley stated his distaste for "the people who are committed to changing the judiciary" and taking "the path of least resistance."[37]...

Sodomy laws in the United States


Colin Talley argues that the sodomy statutes in colonial America in the 17th century were largely unenforced. The reason he argues is that male-male eroticism did not threaten the social structure or challenge the gendered division of labor or the patriarchal ownership of wealth.[2] There were gay men on General Washington's staff and among the leaders of the new republic,[3] even though in Virginia there was a maximum penalty of death for sodomy. In 1779, Thomas Jefferson tried to reduce the maximum punishment to castration.[4] It was rejected by the Virginia legislature.[5] Justice Anthony Kennedy authoring the majority opinion in Lawrence v. Texas stated that American laws targeting same-sex couples did not develop until the last third of the 20th century and also wrote that:

In 1950, New York enacted a new statute that divided the crime of sodomy into three degrees. Third degree sodomy, which is a misdemeanor with a maximum of six months in prison, is any act per os or per anum not amounting to first or second degree sodomy. With this new law, New York became the first state to reduce the crime of sodomy from a felony to a misdemeanor. A psychopathic offender law was included with this statute,

Prior to 1962, sodomy was a felony in every state, punished by a lengthy term of imprisonment and/or hard labor. In that year, the Model Penal Code (MPC) - developed by the American Law Institute to promote uniformity among the states as they modernized (Read: monetized) their statutes - struck a compromise that removed consensual sodomy from its criminal code while making it a crime to solicit for sodomy.

The First Amendment does not entrust that power to the government's benevolence. Instead, our reliance must be on the substantial safeguards of free and open discussion in a democratic society. Effectively, the Supreme Court unanimously reaffirmed that there is no 'hate speech' exception to the First Amendment.





This article was published more than 6 years ago
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/2017/06/19/supreme-court-unanimously-reaffirms-there-is-no-hate-speech-exception-to-the-first-amendment/
THE VOLOKH CONSPIRACY
Opinion Supreme Court unanimously reaffirms: There is no 'hate speech' exception to the First Amendment.
From today's opinion by Justice Samuel Alito (for four justices) in Matal v. Tam, the "Slants" case:

[The idea that the government may restrict] speech expressing ideas that offend ... strikes at the heart of the First Amendment. Speech that demeans on the basis of race, ethnicity, gender, religion, age, disability, or any other similar ground is hateful; but the proudest boast of our free speech jurisprudence is that we protect the freedom to express "the thought that we hate."


Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote separately, also for four justices, but on this point the opinions agreed:

A law found to discriminate based on viewpoint is an "egregious form of content discrimination," which is "presumptively unconstitutional." ... A law that can be directed against speech found offensive to some portion of the public can be turned against minority and dissenting views to the detriment of all. The First Amendment does not entrust that power to the government's benevolence. Instead, our reliance must be on the substantial safeguards of free and open discussion in a democratic society.

And the justices made clear that speech that some view as racially offensive is protected not just against outright prohibition but also against lesser restrictions.

In Matal, the government refused to register "The Slants" as a band's trademark, on the ground that the name might be seen as demeaning to Asian Americans. The government wasn't trying to forbid the band from using the mark; it was just denying it certain protections that trademarks get against unauthorized use by third parties. But even in this sort of program,

–the court held, viewpoint discrimination -

including against allegedly racially offensive viewpoints - is unconstitutional.

And this no-viewpoint-discrimination principle has long been seen as applying to exclusion of speakers from universities, denial of tax exemptions to nonprofits, and much more.

(Justice Neil Gorsuch wasn't on the court when the case was argued, so only eight justices participated.)

Q Research General #23272: Seymour Hersh: What was not said in the Durham Report? Russiagate Edition

The Trump administration intervened in the case on Phillips' behalf, and Attorney General Jeff Sessions praised the decision. "The First Amendment prohibits governments from discriminating against citizens on the basis of religious beliefs. The Supreme Court rightly concluded that the Colorado Civil Rights Commission failed to show tolerance and respect for Mr. Phillips' religious beliefs," Sessions said.

President Donald Trump was unusually vague about the decision, simply tweeting, "Big Supreme Court ruling for Baker just out!" - more than 11 hours later.

High court rules for baker who shunned gay wedding cake. Now what?

seattletimes.com/nation-world/nation-politics/justices-side-with-colorado-baker-on-same-sex-wedding-cake

June 4, 2018
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Supreme Court ruled Monday for a Colorado baker who wouldn't make a wedding cake for a same-sex couple in a limited decision that leaves for another day the larger issue of whether a business can invoke religious objections to refuse service to gay and lesbian people.

The justices' decision turned on what the court described as anti-religious bias on the Colorado Civil Rights Commission when it ruled against baker Jack Phillips. The justices voted 7-2 that the commission violated Phillips' rights under the First Amendment.

The case had been eagerly anticipated as, variously, a potentially strong statement about the rights of LGBT people or the court's first ruling carving out exceptions to an anti-discrimination law. In the end, the decision was modest enough to attract the votes of liberal and conservative justices on a subject that had the potential for sharp division.

Justice Anthony Kennedy said in his majority opinion that the larger issue "must await further elaboration" in the courts. Appeals in similar cases are pending, including one at the Supreme Court from a florist who didn't want to provide flowers for a same-sex wedding.

The disputes, Kennedy wrote, "must be resolved with tolerance, without undue disrespect to sincere religious beliefs, and without subjecting gay persons to indignities when they seek goods and services in an open market."

The same-sex couple at the heart of the case, Charlie Craig and Dave Mullins, complained to the Colorado commission in 2012 after they visited Phillips' Masterpiece Cakeshop in suburban Denver and the baker quickly told them he would not create a cake for their wedding celebration. They were married in Massachusetts because same sex marriage was not yet legal in Colorado.

Colorado law prohibits discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, and the commission concluded that Phillips' refusal violated the law, despite Phillips' argument that he is opposed to same-sex marriage on religious grounds. Colorado state courts upheld the determination.

But when the justices heard arguments in December, Kennedy was plainly bothered by comments by a commission member that the justice said disparaged religion. The commissioner seemed "neither tolerant nor respectful of Mr. Phillips' religious beliefs," Kennedy said in December.

That same sentiment coursed through his opinion Monday. "The commission's hostility was inconsistent with the First Amendment's guarantee that our laws be applied in a manner that is neutral toward religion," he wrote.

Liberal justices Stephen Breyer and Elena Kagan joined the conservative justices in the outcome. Kagan wrote separately to emphasize the limited ruling.

Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor dissented. "There is much in the court's opinion with which I agree," Ginsburg wrote of Kennedy's repeated references to protecting the rights of gay people. "I strongly disagree, however, with the court's conclusion that Craig and Mullins should lose this case."

Q Research General #21888: Infinite Trips Confirm Moar Infinite Comin Up Edition

.=If Marriage Can Mean Anything, It Will Soon Mean Nothing=

No matter how you define "marriage," there is zero respect for it in the so-called Respect for Marriage Act.

You may believe it serves to federally codify the Supreme Court's Obergefell decision that rejected marriage as a male-female union. Maybe it would do so temporarily. But that's not the endgame.

If you're paying attention, you can see that the Senate's recent 62-37 vote for cloture on HR 8404 puts us one step closer to abolishing state recognition of marriage entirely. That's where this train is headed.

This will happen the same way such things always happen - through a demonization campaign that frames skeptics as bigots who are guilty of discrimination. That's how you get Democrat-pliable Republicans such as Mitt Romney and craven Supreme Court justices like Anthony Kennedy to sign on. That's how you manufacture a public opinion cascade, warning average Americans that they'll be pummeled with lawsuits and ostracism if they dare think out loud.

And that's how Democrats in Congress are likely in the not-too-distant future - via HR 8404 - to make the case that marriage actually comes with privileges that discriminate against the unmarried. Disagree? You're a bigot who deserves to be socially ostracized! Self-censorship in the face of such accusations will pave the way, as always.

Collectivists Hope to Destroy Private Life and Regulate Relationships
Once they've gotten to that point via HR 8404 and Republicans who supported the measure, congressional Democrats will doubtless push us to agree that marriage is a discriminatory institution. We'll start seeing more anti-marriage initiatives supported by singles, millennials, Julias, and gen Z, all well-groomed for the moment by teachers unions, academia, and media.

They'll fall for the pitch that we can all just write up domestic partnership contracts instead. "Marriage" would then become nothing but a legal relationship (a contract) between two (or more) people for any purpose at all. Bureaucrats would broker those contracts. This proposal is all mapped out in Sunstein and Thaler's 2008 book "Nudge." It's also been promoted for decades by internationally acclaimed feminist legal scholar Martha Fineman who writes that a system of contracts replacing marriage will help the state "regulate all social interactions."

Under a system that abolishes state recognition of marriage, the family could no longer exist autonomously or unmolested by the state. How could it if the state no longer recognizes marriage as the foundation of the family unit? The government would have no requirement to recognize religious rites of marriage as valid. Thus, it would meddle more deeply in religion and religious communities that recognize bonds of kinship through blood ties.

Why Texas cannot declare an 'invasion' at the border
…
But this is a Texas-sized bad idea. There are legal and practical reasons why states cannot take immigration matters into their own hands. It is well-settled law that immigration enforcement is the jurisdiction of the federal government. There is no getting around this, so any plan like Abbott's will only result in wasteful lawsuits. Plus, using words like "invasion" when discussing migration is divisive and puts Latinos and immigrants at risk.

Former Trump administration officials say Abbott could declare an invasion by invoking two clauses in the Constitution. One clause says that the U.S. government shall protect states from invasion, while another says states cannot engage in war except when "actually invaded."

If this legal rationale seems convoluted, that's because it is.

As recently as 2012, in the case arising from Arizona's "papers, please" law, the Supreme Court affirmed that states cannot set immigration policy. "Arizona may have understandable frustrations with the problems caused by illegal immigration ... but the state may not pursue policies that undermined federal law," wrote Justice Anthony Kennedy in the majority opinion. Other immigration lawsuits by states relying on the "invasion clause" have likewise failed in lower courts. Were Abbott to declare an invasion, his plan would be struck down by the courts as well.

In the meantime, such a proposal could expose state law enforcement officials to criminal liability. "There are federal laws that law enforcement can be prosecuted under if they were to take someone without authority and immediately return them across the border," Abbott himself said in an April news conference. He's right. Besides, any state action on immigration would likely run counter to the Constitution's Supremacy Clause, which establishes that federal law takes precedence over state law.

Q Research General #21141: The Bread Must Go On Edition

A group of House Democrats called for legislation on Monday that would add four seats to the Supreme Court, lamenting a "ultra right-wing" branch that just overturned the Roe v. Wade decision on abortion rights.
House Democrats tout bill to add four seats to Supreme Court

The eight lawmakers cited recent Supreme Court decisions that rolled back Miranda rights, threw out a New York gun control law and allowed religion to surface in schools - as well as the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health decision that overturned the right to abortion in Roe - in saying there was a need to add new justices to the court.
Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Ga.), the lead sponsor of the 2021 Judiciary Act, called the current makeup "a Supreme Court at crisis with itself and with our democracy" where "basic freedoms are under assault" from the 6-3 conservative supermajority on the bench.

The Supreme Court isn't susceptible to the popular vote the way Congress is, Johnson said, and it has used that fact to amass power. "It's making decisions that usurp the power of the legislative and executive branches," he said.

Facing Republican opposition and some Democratic skepticism, the bill has little chance of becoming law, but it illustrates the deep anger among progressive Democrats about the court's direction under three conservative justices nominated by former President Trump: Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett.

Those three justices have radically altered the direction of the court, which now has twice as many conservative justices as liberal ones. Kavanaugh replaced Justice Anthony Kennedy, a previous swing vote who had been nominated to the court by a Republican, while Barrett replaced liberal Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Adding to Democratic anger, a GOP Senate blocked former President Obama's last nominee to the court, Merrick Garland, who is now the attorney general. Gorsuch ended up being nominated to the court in place of Garland.
Introduced last year, the Judiciary Act has not progressed in Congress
.Some Democrats wary of the proposal are concerned that expansion would open the court up for Republicans to push more of their nominees into the openings.

How rare is a Supreme Court breach? Very rare

By Josh Gerstein

In several passages, he describes doctors and nurses who terminate pregnancies as "abortionists."

When Roberts voted with liberal jurists in 2020 to block a Louisiana law imposing heavier regulations on abortion clinics, his solo concurrence used the more neutral term "abortion providers." In contrast, Justice Clarence Thomas used the word "abortionist" 25 times in a solo dissent in the same case.

Alito's use of the phrase "egregiously wrong" to describe Roe echoes language Mississippi Solicitor General Scott Stewart used in December in defending his state's ban on abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy. The phrase was also contained in an opinion Kavanaugh wrote as part of a 2020 ruling that jury convictions in criminal cases must be unanimous.

In that opinion, Kavanaugh labeled two well-known Supreme Court decisions "egregiously wrong when decided": the 1944 ruling upholding the detention of Japanese Americans during World War II, Korematsu v. United States, and the 1896 decision that blessed racial segregation under the rubric of "separate but equal," Plessy v. Ferguson.

The high court has never formally overturned Korematsu, but did repudiate the decision in a 2018 ruling by Roberts that upheld then-President Donald Trump's travel ban policy.
The legacy of Plessy v. Ferguson

Plessy remained the law of the land for nearly six decades until the court overturned it with the Brown v. Board of Education school desegregation ruling in 1954.

Quoting Kavanaugh, Alito writes of Plessy: "It was 'egregiously wrong,' on the day it was decided."

Alito's draft opinion includes, in small type, a list of about two pages' worth of decisions in which the justices overruled prior precedents - in many instances reaching results praised by liberals.

The implication that allowing states to outlaw abortion is on par with ending legal racial segregation has been hotly disputed. But the comparison underscores the conservative justices' belief that Roe is so flawed that the justices should disregard their usual hesitations about overturning precedent and wholeheartedly renounce it.

Alito's draft opinion ventures even further into this racially sensitive territory by observing in a footnote that some early proponents of abortion rights also had unsavory views in favor of eugenics.

"Some such supporters have been motivated by a desire to suppress the size of the African American population," Alito writes. "It is beyond dispute that Roe has had that demographic effect. A highly disproportionate percentage of aborted fetuses are black."

Alito writes that by raising the point he isn't casting aspersions on anyone. "For our part, we do not question the motives of either those who have supported and those who have opposed laws restricting abortion," he writes.

Alito also addresses concern about the impact the decision could have on public discourse. "We cannot allow our decisions to be affected by any extraneous influences such as concern about the public's reaction to our work," Alito writes. "We do not pretend to know how our political system or society will respond to today's decision overruling Roe and Casey. And even if we could foresee what will happen, we would have no authority to let that knowledge influence our decision."

In the main opinion in the 1992 Casey decision, Justices Sandra Day O'Connor, Anthony Kennedy and Davis Souter warned that the court would pay a "terrible price" for overruling Roe, despite criticism of the decision from some in the public and the legal community.

"While it has engendered disapproval, it has not been unworkable," the three justices wrote then. "An entire generation has come of age free to assume Roe's concept of liberty in defining the capacity of women to act in society, and to make reproductive decisions; no erosion of principle going to liberty or personal autonomy has left Roe's central holding a doctrinal remnant."

When Dobbs was argued in December, Roberts seemed out of sync with the other conservative justices, as he has been in a number of cases including one challenging the Affordable Care Act.

At the argument session last fall, Roberts seemed to be searching for a way to uphold Mississippi's 15-week ban without completely abandoning the Roe framework.

Supreme Court Affirms Hate Speech Protected
June 21, 2017



https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/2017/06/19/supreme-court-unanimously-reaffirms-there-is-no-hate-speech-exception-to-the-first-amendment/

The Volokh Conspiracy
Opinion: Supreme Court unanimously reaffirms: There is no 'hate speech' exception to the First Amendment



From today's opinion by Justice Samuel Alito (for four justices) in Matal v. Tam, the "Slants" case:

[The idea that the government may restrict] speech expressing ideas that offend ... strikes at the heart of the First Amendment. Speech that demeans on the basis of race, ethnicity, gender, religion, age, disability, or any other similar ground is hateful; but
the proudest boast of our free speech jurisprudence is that we protect the freedom to express "the thought that we hate."

Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote separately, also for four justices, but on this point the opinions agreed:


A law found to discriminate based on viewpoint is an "egregious form of content discrimination," which is "presumptively unconstitutional." ... A law that can be directed against speech found offensive to some portion of the public can be turned against minority and dissenting views to the detriment of all. The First Amendment does not entrust that power to the government's benevolence. Instead, our reliance must be on the substantial safeguards of free and open discussion in a democratic society.

And the justices made clear that speech that some view as racially offensive is protected
not just against outright prohibition but also against lesser restrictions.

Q Research General #19140: Winning Intensifies

Part 1 of 2
The Supreme Court's Originalist Justices Should Allow Bad Abortion Law To Die By Its Own Hand
These same considerations that Casey relied upon nearly 30 years ago to justify affirming Roe v. Wade provide the precise basis to overturn Casey today.

Margot Cleveland
Yesterday, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization-a case considering the constitutionality of Mississippi's Gestational Age Act which, with some exceptions, bans abortions after 15 weeks. While in granting certiorari the Supreme Court limited the question on appeal to "whether all pre-viability prohibitions on elective abortions are unconstitutional," Wednesday's arguments focused more broadly on whether the high court should overrule Roe v. Wade and Casey v. Planned Parenthood.

Even then, however, the vast majority of the nearly two hours of argument considered not the fundamental question of whether there is a constitutional right to abortion; instead, the justices dueled over stare decisis and Casey's reliance on that prudential principle to affirm Roe. The court's focus during argument on stare decisis and Casey may cause concern that the justices will again refuse to right the wrong that began in 1973 with Roe v. Wade. It shouldn't, though, because the originalist justices on the court can allow Casey to hoist itself upon its own petard.

The way forward here is clear, but likely unseen by the majority of Americans who wrongly believe Roe v. Wade remains the law of the land.

Stare Decisis Underpins the Casey Decision

While the Supreme Court first gleaned a right to abortion in Roe v. Wade from the amorphous penumbras emanating from the Constitution, less than 20 years later Roe's approach to abortion was abandoned. A plurality of the court in Casey, consisting of Justices David Souter, Sandra Day O'Connor, and Anthony Kennedy, ignored the reasoning of Roe and instead concluded abortion garnered constitutional protection based on the justices' "reasoned judgment" of the meaning of "liberty."

After announcing they were upholding what they framed as the "essential" holding of Roe-the concept of a constitutional right to abortion-the majority then overruled Roe's trimester approach to adjudicating abortion regulations, calling it too rigid. Instead, Casey replaced the strict scrutiny standard of Roe with the command that, before viability, states not impose an "undue burden" on women seeking abortions.

Significantly, though, the strut beneath the Casey court's analysis was stare decisis, a prudential principle, translated from the Latin to mean, "to abide by, or adhere to, decided cases." It was stare decisis, and the institutional integrity that principle seeks to safeguard, that together with the justices' "reasoned judgment" of "liberty," compelled the court to conclude that "a woman's right to terminate her pregnancy before viability is the most central principle of Roe v. Wade," and that the justices could not renounce that "rule of law and a component of liberty."

Justice Breyer Has a Point

During the various colloquy yesterday, Justices Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan returned often to Casey and stare decisis, far exceeding any focus on the Constitution proper, with Justice Breyer saying of the court's opinion in Casey: "It's about stare decisis and how we approach it, and I hope everybody reads this. It's at 505 U.S. 854 to 869."

Yes, everybody should read it, because Casey gives the credence to overturn the misguided abortion jurisprudence that has divided our country for 50 years.

As that portion of the court's decision explained, "the rule of stare decisis is not an 'inexorable command,' and certainly it is not such in every constitutional case." Rather, as the Casey court explained, there are "a series of prudential and pragmatic considerations designed to test the consistency of overruling a prior decision with the ideal of the rule of law, and to gauge the respective costs of reaffirming and overruling a prior case."

The court then detailed those considerations, including whether "the rule has proven to be intolerable simply in defying practical workability," or "whether the rule is subject to a kind of reliance that would lend a special hardship to the consequences of overruling and add inequity to the cost of repudiation." Likewise, the court should consider "whether related principles of law have so far developed as to have left the old rule no more than a remnant of abandoned doctrine," "or whether facts have so changed, or come to be seen so differently, as to have robbed the old rule of significant application or justification."

Democrats Are Feasting on Dark Money, But They're Also the Ones Vowing to Fix It

The 2020 election was an orgy of political suspending that throws a little more dirt on the claim from Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy in 2011's Citizens United decision that "independent expenditures, including those made by corporations, do not give rise to corruption or the appearance of corruption." In all, the Center for Responsive Politics estimates that we as a society spent $14 billion to influence who would occupy the many elected posts throughout our state and federal governments, though a great deal of it was doled out by relatively few people. Some of them prefer to obscure their identities-always great when someone's spending huge sums of money to influence public policy-using a complex web of Super PACs and "charitable" organizations, the latter of which do not need to disclose their donors. The cash flowing through this area of the American campaign-finance sewer is often called "dark money."

When this brave new world came about a decade ago, it was primarily the purview of super-rich types looking to elect Republicans. (Koch Brothers? Now that's a name I've not heard in a long time.) But the landscape is changing, and over the last few cycles, Democrats have been building their dark-money market share. And according to a new report from Anna Massoglia and Karl Evers-Hillstrom at OpenSecrets, Democrats pulled into the lead on this front in 2018 and really weren't messing around two years later. We are not talking about a photo finish.

Dem senator rekindles Kavanaugh sex misconduct accusations: 'Fake' FBI probe protected him
By Alex Swoyer - The Washington Times
Tuesday, March 16, 2021
Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse is accusing the FBI of conducting a "fake" investigation to help deflect sexual misconduct allegations against Supreme Court Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh during his confirmation in 2018.

In a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland, the Rhode Island Democrat said he wants the now-Democrat-led Justice Department to probe the FBI's handling of the allegations against Justice Kavanaugh from three years ago.

Mr. Whitehouse said the FBI review in 2018 "appears to have been politically-constrained and perhaps fake" to protect former President Trump's nominee.

A spokesperson from the Justice Department confirmed Tuesday it received and is currently reviewing the letter.

During the 2018 high court confirmation hearing to replace Justice Anthony Kennedy, Christine Blasey Ford came forward with claims that Justice Kavanaugh, who was tapped to fill the vacancy, assaulted her when they were in high school but she could not say where or even what year the assault occurred.

Justice Kavanaugh vehemently denied any wrongdoing. After facing an FBI review into Ms. Blasey Ford's allegations, Justice Kavanaugh was ultimately confirmed to the high court by the U.S. Senate.

In the letter sent on Monday, Mr. Whitehouse accused the FBI of failing to follow up on other sexual misconduct allegations despite law firms providing the bureau with the names of additional witnesses.

"This was unique behavior in my experience, as the Bureau is usually amenable to information and evidence; but in this matter the shutters were closed, the drawbridge drawn up, and there was no point of entry by which members of the public or Congress could provide information to the FBI," Mr. Whitehouse wrote.

Liberal groups echoed Mr. Whitehouse's concerns, saying the Trump White House constrained the FBI from doing a thorough review.

"Somehow, the FBI investigated the sexual assault allegations against Brett Kavanaugh without speaking to either Kavanaugh himself nor Dr. Christine Blasey Ford or any of the other people with information about the accusations against him," said Nan Aron, president of the progressive Alliance for Justice. "It was almost as if the agency's goal in the investigation was to obtain as little information as possible."

Those poring over Supreme Court nominee John G. Roberts record will have such a tough time finding an ideology, writes TIMEs Nancy Gibbs. Given the uncertainty, his manner and habits of mind take on greater importanceand there is extraordinary consensus about his powers to win whatever argument he is in.
Roberts won 25 of the 39 cases he argued before the Supreme Court in his government and corporate jobs. All the selective readings of his case file obscured the point that he argued for and against affirmative action, for and against environmental regulations, argued that Roe v. Wade should be overturnedand then described it as settled law, according to Gibbs.
The burning question now, with (Sandra Day) OConnor gone, is, How will the court rebalance?, questions Gibbs. Justice Anthony Kennedy is more likely to take her place than Roberts.
In confirmation hearings that could be scheduled as early as September, No one expects Roberts to answer directly any questions that Senators may pose on abortion, gay marriage and other issues, writes TIMEs Karen Tumulty. Senator Sam Brownback tells TIME he will probe indirectly by asking Roberts his views of the Constitutionspecifically, whether it is a living document or should be interpreted according to the wishes of the framers. Brownback admits he is not likely to get very far that way and says he remains wary. And disappointed? Ask me in two years when he rules on some of these cases, Brownback says. Ill probably be ecstaticor really kicking myself.
TIMEs examination of Roberts quotes more than a dozen people who know him or his record:
Ken Starr, who remembers Roberts advice when he returned one day from arguing a case before the Supreme Court. Roberts, his principal deputy at the time, told Starr, then solicitor general, Ken, let me tell you, youre waving your arms too much. Roberts flailed his hands and arms to demonstrate to Starr what he had done in front of the justices. I looked like I was trying to take off, birdlike, Starr says, He was right, and I began disciplining myself to hold my arms behind my back, grab the podium and generally use my hands in less wildly gesticulating ways.
Gregory Garre, former colleague and fellow Rehnquist clerk, remembers Roberts racing around Hogan & Hartson with a white legal pad, jotting questions he might be asked and then answering them. I dont think he brought it to the supermarket, but he would have it with him in the office, and hed bring it home at night. He would amass 300 questions and answers for a major case.
Richard Garnett clerked for Rehnquist more than a decade after Roberts. If we heard that Roberts was going to be arguing, everybody would go down to watch because he was just that good. It was kind of like if you heard that Tiger was going to be hitting on your home courses driving range.
C. Boyden Gray, a White House counsel in the first Bush Administration, when the Supreme Court shut Roberts out 9 to 0 in a commercial case, recalls the clients ranting, How could we lose 9-0? Robertss self-flagellating response: Because there were only nine Justices.
Steve Glover, Harvard Law classmate, recalls, There were a few people on the Law Review that were social conservatives, very strong views about abortion, separation of church and state. John was not one of them.
Jack McCay, law partner of Roberts wife Jane and a friend, speaks of the couples adoption of John (Jack) and Josephine, born in Ireland 4 1/2 months apart. As frequently happens when you go through the adoption process, some of the efforts werent successful, and it continued for a time. But when the opportunity came along to have not just one but two kids, they took both babies without blinking.
Richard Lazarus, a longtime pal now a law professor at Georgetown, plays squash with Roberts. You need to know whether (the other player is) right-handed or left-handed because it dramatically affects your strategy. But Roberts is ambidextrous. Ive played (squash) with a lot of people over the years, including Scalia, says Lawrence Robbins, a fellow Harvard Law alum, and Johns the only one I know who can do that.
John McGinnis, a law professor at Northwestern University in Chicago, says Roberts knows so much about the current justices that Hes more prepared than any nominee in living memory to move right in and act like hes been there for awhile For a while, its going to be like having a shadow litigator up there. Hes going to be very sharp at finding the weaknesses of their cases.

Q Research General #15624: It's A Great Day To Negate and Overturn A Fraudulent Election Edition

CALI is RED, Time to SHOW THE SHEEP!!

California voters failed to repeal ban on affirmative action. What signal does that send the rest of the nation?

When Proposition 16 did not pass in California in November, leaving a ban on affirmative action in place, Naomi Waters was dismayed but not surprised.

"So this is where we're at?" the third-year student at the University of California-Riverside recalled thinking of California's political leanings.

"It's disheartening where we are currently, but then looking nationally, it isn't really that much of the surprise," said Waters, the Racial Justice Now chair of the University of California Student Association.

Proposition 16 would have removed the ban in the California Constitution on considering race and sex in government hiring and education. In other words, it would have reinstated a practice called affirmative action, most notably at the state's public colleges.

The defeat of Proposition 16 marks one of many attacks on affirmative action over the years, both at the polls and in the country's courts. But in recent years, courts have endorsed measures to account for race in college admissions.

Another showdown over affirmative action is looming: A case against Harvard University, in which plaintiffs accuse the university of discriminating against Asian American students, is likely to go to the U.S. Supreme Court, which is dominated by conservatives.

Voters' views held steady over 25 years
Despite the courts' evolution on affirmative action, California voters' views on the subject are nearly unchanged over the past 25 years. The ban on affirmative action was first approved by 54% of registered Californians via Proposition 209 in 1996.

Nearly 25 years later, 56% of Californians voted to keep the ban in place.

Activists and universities shout that people of color need special consideration, given the systemic effects of racism in America.

The ban created "a fundamental opportunity gap" for students of color at universities, Chancellor Timothy White of California State University told EdSource in October.

"They've had less opportunity for reasons that are often beyond their control," such as financial issues, the quality of their schools or being the first member of their family to go to college, White said.

When the ban on affirmative action was implemented in 1998, the total enrollment of Black and Hispanic students at the University of California nosedived by about 800 students per year, a study out of UC-Berkeley reported in August. The researchers said the ban deterred thousands of students from applying.

Nevertheless, affirmative action policies have been on the voter chopping block for decades.

In 1996, California became the first state to ban affirmative action in government. Twenty-four years since, 10 states have banned affirmative action - though Texas' ban was reversed in 2003. All but four of those states' bans were decided by voters.

These policies have been upheld nationally by a series of Supreme Court decisions dating back to 1978.

Colleges, saying diversity is important to their educational climate and mission, try to find ways to consider race as part of admissions. The Supreme Court upheld their approaches.

"Considerable deference is owed to a university in defining those intangible characteristics, like student body diversity, that are central to its identity and educational mission," the court said in a 4-3 decision in 2016 written by Associate Justice Anthony Kennedy, who retired in 2018.

Americans' views on affirmative action, despite Proposition 16's failure, may be changing. Sixty-one percent of respondents told Gallup in 2019 that they favored affirmative programs for minorities, up from 54% in 2016.

Part of the reason that Proposition 16 failed may have been the narrative around its campaign, "the idea of 'overturning a previous referendum' as opposed to a new or renewed effort to ensure opportunity and access for historically marginalized groups," said Michal Kurlaender, professor of education policy at the University of California-Davis.

Overturning the ban was seen by many as a chance to address systemic racism and limited opportunities for Black and Latino Californians, who make up the majority of the state.

NETSCAPE / ANDREESSEN / KLEINER PERKINS
Netscape was the first company to attempt to capitalize on the emerging World Wide Web.[17][18] It was founded under the name Mosaic Communications Corporation on April 4, 1994, the brainchild of Jim Clark who had recruited Marc Andreessen as co-founder and Kleiner Perkins as investors.

In January 1995, Vinod Khosla (a former Stanford student), a partner at venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers arranged a US$250,000 "first round" backing for the project, with US$1.5 million provided over a ten-month period. Soon thereafter, Geoff Yang, of Institutional Venture Partners, introduced an additional US$1.5 million in financing and Excite was formally launched in October 1995.[4]
In January 1996, George Bell joined Excite as its Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Excite also purchased two search engines (Magellan and WebCrawler) and signed exclusive distribution agreements with Netscape, Microsoft and Apple, in addition to other companies. Jim Bellows, then 72, was hired by Excite in 1994 to figure out how to present the content in a journalistic manner.[5] He paid good journalists to write brief reviews of web sites. However, users wanted to get directly to the content and skipped the reviews, so the partnership with Bellows ended in 1998. Excite's original website design was mostly based on the orange color. In 1997 it was redesigned with a black and yellow theme, which mostly continues to this day.

Chelsea Clinton, kleiner Perkins throw support behind Nurx, the 'Uber for birth control'

Telemedicine startup Nurx, which provides direct-to-consumer birth control and daily HIV prevention medication (PrEP) to patients whether or not they have health insurance, has raised $36 million in a Series B led by kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers. The round values the company at $100 million, per PitchBook data.

Dubbed the "Uber for birth control" in the media, Nurx offers a HIPAA-compliant platform that delivers contraceptives directly to customers' doorsteps and allows women to skip physical doctor's appointments, offering online access to a network of doctors and pharmacies that have partnered with the company. It's a business plan that's also drawn the support of Chelsea Clinton, who will join Nurx's board as part of the new funding.

News of the funding comes a day after US President Donald Trump announced conservative federal appeals court judge Brett Kavanaugh as his nominee to replace retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy on the Supreme Court, igniting a conversation around the future of women's healthcare. A majority-conservative court could reverse Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 case that made it illegal for states to ban abortion.

If the court does overturn Roe V. Wade, control over abortion regulations would return to each individual state. It's likely that 22 states would ban abortion without federal laws, according to a recent estimate from the Center for Reproductive Rights.

Court issues new circuit assignments
Thirteen days after Brett Kavanaugh was confirmed as the Supreme Court's newest associate justice, the court today issued a new set of circuit justice assignments, which take effect immediately. The new list was the second one in the past few months, replacing the assignment list issued after Justice Anthony Kennedy retired on July 31, leaving the court with only eight justices.

A circuit justice is primarily responsible for emergency requests (for example, an application to block an execution or allow it to go forward) from the geographic area covered by his or her circuit, as well as more mundane matters - for example, a request to extend the time to file a petition for review. However, justices can and often do refer significant emergency requests to the full court, as Justice Neil Gorsuch did earlier this month with a request by Native Americans in North Dakota to block the state from enforcing a law requiring voters to show an ID that includes a residential street address.


Lawyers who practice regularly before the court are often keenly interested in circuit justice assignments because the justices can have different policies on when they will grant extensions to file petitions for review: The late Justice Antonin Scalia, for example, virtually never granted them, while now-retired Justice John Paul Stevens would generally grant not just one but two 30-day extensions as long as they were timely filed.

In August, Chief Justice John Roberts had assumed responsibility for the 9th Circuit, which covers nine states (Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Oregon, Montana, Nevada and Washington) plus Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands. Justice Elena Kagan is now the circuit justice for the 9th Circuit; the 6th and 7th Circuits, for which Kagan had previously been responsible, are now covered by Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Brett Kavanaugh, respectively. All of the other circuit-justice assignments remain the same.

The chief justice generally is responsible for three circuits: the District of Columbia Circuit, the Federal Circuit and the 4th Circuit. Some of the other circuit assignments reflect the justices' links to different parts of the country. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, for example, is responsible for the 2nd Circuit, which includes New York, where she grew up and lived before moving to Washington to become a judge, while Justice Stephen Breyer, who sat on the 1st Circuit before he became a justice, is the circuit justice for that circuit. Justice Samuel Alito, who was born in New Jersey and formerly served as judge on the 3rd Circuit, which includes New Jersey, continues to serve as the circuit justice for the 3rd Circuit (along with the 5th Circuit), while Justice Clarence Thomas, a Georgia native, is the circuit justice for the 11th Circuit, which includes Georgia. Kagan, however, is a native New Yorker who has spent most of her adult life in Chicago, Massachusetts and Washington.

Justices Thomas, Alito slam Obergefell same-sex marriage decision as Supreme Court denies Kim Davis case

Alito and Thomas both dissented from the original Obergefell ruling

Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito said Monday that Obergefell v. Hodges, the Supreme Court case that mandated all states recognize same-sex marriages, is "found nowhere in the text" of the Constitution and threatens "the religious liberty of the many Americans who believe that marriage is a sacred institution between one man and one woman."

The statement was written by Thomas and joined by Alito about the case of Kim Davis, a former Kentucky county clerk who said she would not give same-sex couples marriage licenses. The two justices said they agreed with the consensus of the court that it should not take Davis' case, but only because it did not "cleanly present" the "important questions about the scope of our decision in Obergefell."

Thomas and Alito dissented from the original Obergefell decision and their statement Monday could indicate that they would vote to overturn it if presented the chance.

"[T]his petition provides a stark reminder of the consequences of Obergefell. By choosing to privilege a novel constitutional right over the religious liberty interests explicitly protected in the First Amendment, and by doing so undemocratically, the court has created a problem that only it can fix," Thomas wrote. "Until then, Obergefell will continue to have 'ruinous consequences for religious liberty.'"

Obergefell was decided in 2015 by a 5-4 court, with then-Justice Anthony Kennedy writing the majority opinion joined by Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Stephen Breyer.

Thomas said Obergefell forced Davis to choose "between her religious beliefs and her job. When she chose to follow her faith, and without any statutory protection of her religious beliefs, she was sued almost immediately for violating the constitutional rights of same-sex couples."

The Obergefell opinion authored by Kennedy aimed to balance the rights of religious people with those of gay couples, saying that "[m]any who deem same-sex marriage to be wrong reach that conclusion based on decent and honorable religious or philosophical premises."

Kennedy added: "[I]t must be emphasized that religions, and those who adhere to religious doctrines, may continue to advocate with utmost, sincere conviction that, by divine precepts, same-sex marriage should not be condoned."

But Thomas argued Monday that Obergefell is highly flawed and marginalizes those who do not believe in same-sex marriage.

Why Republicans Are Suddenly Thanking Harry Reid for a 2013 Tweet About Filibuster Reform

BY MAHITA GAJANAN
JUNE 28, 2018 2:37 PM EDT
When the Senate votes on President Donald Trump's replacement for Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy, just a simple majority will be sufficient to get through the confirmation process. It's a vote that Democrats - who have 49 seats - seem more than likely to lose. Gone is the filibuster rule that required 60 votes to move forward.

Many Republicans are thanking former Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid for that. And they're retweeting his tweet from 2013 - shedding light on how one decision by the party five years ago helped put Democrats in this position.

Thanks to all of you who encouraged me to consider filibuster reform. It had to be done.

- Senator Harry Reid (@SenatorReid) November 21, 2013
In 2013, Reid invoked the "nuclear option," a historic move that changed a long-standing Senate rule, dropping the number of votes needed to overcome a filibuster from 60 to a simple majority for executive appointments and most judicial nominations - a decision he justified because of trouble getting through court confirmations in the latter half of the Obama Administration.

Trump Will Name One of These 12 People to the Supreme Court Next Week

On Saturday evening at a rally in Fayetteville, N.C., President Donald Trump announced that he would be naming a successor to the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

"I will be putting forth a nominee next week. It will be a woman," the president declared. This will likely unleash speculation as to which candidate Trump will choose from his list of potential nominees.

Trump made the announcement shortly after a heartfelt tribute to Ginsburg, a liberal lion of the Court who refused to retire despite fighting pancreatic cancer for more than a decade.

"As we meet tonight, our nation mourns the loss of a legal giant, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg," the president declared. "Her landmark rulings, fierce commitment to justice, and her courageous battle against cancer inspire all Americans. ... She was an inspiration to a tremendous number of people, I say all Americans."

"Justice Ginsburg's close relationship with a friend of ours, a friend of mine, Justice Scalia, is also a powerful reminder that we can disagree on fundamental issues while treating each other with decency, dignity, and respect," Trump added. "Our thoughts and prayers are with her family."

Three strong possibilities

Since Trump said he will choose a woman, that narrows down the names on his list of potential nominees. Twelve of the 44 names on Trump's list are women. Of those twelve, 7th Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Amy Coney Barrett is considered the frontrunner.

When Trump was deliberating which nominee to choose when replacing Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy, the president told confidants he had big plans for Barrett. "I'm saving her for Ginsburg," he said, three sources told Axios' Jonathan Swan last March.

Barrett would be an excellent choice. Not only is she a stellar judge and a pro-life Roman Catholic, but Barrett performed well under fire during her confirmation hearing in 2017. Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) notoriously said, "The dogma lives loudly within you," suggesting something of a religious test for a federal judgeship.

Democrats have only gotten worse in their readiness to launch inquisitions into the faith of the conservative Christians whom Trump has nominated to federal offices. Many have cited the far-left smear factory the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) to demonize nominees who have spoken at events with Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), an accomplished conservative Christian law firm that the SPLC unfairly demonizes as a "hate group."

Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), Democratic nominee Joe Biden's running mate and a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, has a history of attacking conservative Christians for their faith and she will likely vociferously attack Barrett in the confirmation hearings.

In fact, Harris previously attacked another woman on Trump's shortlist, Allison Jones Rushing, a judge on the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals. Rushing clerked for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and she clerked for Neil Gorsuch when he was an appeals court judge. Harris attacked Rushing for her relationship with ADF and asked her whether she thinks "that LGBT rights cannot be reconciled with religion."

Many commentators are speculating that Trump may pick 11th Circuit Court Judge Barbara Lagoa, a Cuban judge who would become the second Latina member of the Supreme Court after Sonia Sotomayor. Lagoa previously served as a justice on the Florida Supreme Court.

Mark Levin zeroed in on three names, one of whom is not a woman: Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah), Barrett, and Rushing.

Supreme Court vacancies in presidential election years

In the wake of the death of Justice Antonin Scalia, questions have arisen about whether there is a standard practice of not nominating and confirming Supreme Court Justices during a presidential election year. The historical record does not reveal any instances since at least 1900 of the president failing to nominate and/or the Senate failing to confirm a nominee in a presidential election year because of the impending election. In that period, there were several nominations and confirmations of Justices during presidential election years.

The first nomination during an election year in the twentieth century came on March 13, 1912, when President William Taft (a Republican) nominated Mahlon Pitney to succeed John Marshall Harlan, who died on October 14, 1911. The Republican-controlled Senate confirmed Pitney on March 18, 1912, by a vote of fifty to twenty-six.

President Woodrow Wilson (a Democrat) made two nominations during 1916. On January 28, 1916, Wilson nominated Louis Brandeis to replace Joseph Rucker Lamar, who died on January 2, 1916; the Democratic-controlled Senate confirmed Brandeis on June 1, 1916, by a vote of forty-seven to twenty-two. Charles Evans Hughes resigned from the Court on June 10, 1916 to run (unsuccessfully) for president as a Republican. On July 14, 1916, Wilson nominated John Clarke to replace him; Clarke was confirmed unanimously ten days later.

On February 15, 1932, President Herbert Hoover (a Republican) nominated Benjamin Cardozo to succeed Oliver Wendell Holmes, who retired on January 12, 1932. A Republican-controlled Senate confirmed Cardozo by a unanimous voice vote on February 24, 1932.

On January 4, 1940, President Franklin Roosevelt (a Democrat) nominated Frank Murphy to replace Pierce Butler, who died on November 16, 1939; Murphy was confirmed by a heavily Democratic Senate on January 16, 1940, by a voice vote.

On November 30, 1987, President Ronald Reagan (a Republican) nominated Justice Anthony Kennedy to fill the vacancy created by the retirement of Lewis Powell. A Democratic-controlled Senate confirmed Kennedy (who followed Robert Bork and Douglas Ginsburg as nominees for that slot) on February 3, 1988, by a vote of ninety-seven to zero.

In two instances in the twentieth century, presidents were not able to nominate and confirm a successor during an election year. But neither reflects a practice of leaving a seat open on the Supreme Court until after the election.

On September 7, 1956, Sherman Minton announced his intent to retire in a letter to President Dwight D. Eisenhower, and he served until October 15, 1956. With the Senate already adjourned, Eisenhower made a recess appointment of William J. Brennan to the Court shortly thereafter; Brennan was formally nominated to the Court and confirmed in 1957. The fact that Eisenhower put Brennan on the Court is inconsistent with any tradition of leaving a seat vacant.

And in 1968, President Lyndon B. Johnson nominated Abe Fortas, who was already sitting as an Associate Justice, to succeed Chief Justice Earl Warren, but the Fortas nomination was the target of a bipartisan filibuster - principally in reaction to the Warren Court's liberalism and ethical questions about Fortas, although objections were certainly also made that it was inappropriate to fill the seat in an election year. That filibuster prompted Homer Thornberry, whom Johnson nominated to succeed Fortas as an Associate Justice, to withdraw his name from consideration in October 1968, because there was no vacancy to fill. Moreover, the failure to confirm Fortas as the Chief Justice did not leave the Court short a Justice, because Chief Justice Earl Warren remained on the bench.

Kate Comerford Todd: Cornell University (BA) Harvard Law School (JD)

If we focus only on which candidates have either Yale or Harvard background, it leaves us with Sarah Pitlyk and Kate comerford Todd. As a sidenote last 2 Justices(Gorsuch and Kavanaugh) have interesting connection with eachothers. Kavanaugh clerked for Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy from 1993-1994, working alongside fellow high school alumnus Neil Gorsuch. Gorsuch also clerked for Supreme Court Justice Byron White during this same period. So what about Sarah and Kate? Kate was co-clerk for Justice Clarence Thomas while Sarah was clerking for Justice Brett Kavanaugh so both of them have clerk experience with either former or current Justices. I would say overall Sarah is more qualified when it comes to education and overall experience. If Trump is willing to choose someone outside of Yale/Harvard background, Amy Coney Barrett is also one likely option. She too has connection to Justice Antonin Scalia whom she clerked for 1 year.

Q Research General #13704: For God And Country, She Gone Edition

Ginsburg's death is much bigger than many people think. Here is some background:

First, some background: Each federal circuit has a Supreme Court justice assigned to it. That justice's job is to deal with applications for stays of lower court judgments generally, stays of execution in particular, extensions of time and other procedural matters coming out of that circuit. Some such matters, such as stays, can be quite important, though the most important ones tend to be referred by the circuit justice to the entire court. A federal statute provides that the justices will assign the circuits by court order, and a 2010 order provided that Justice Antonin Scalia would be in charge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit, which covers Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas.


Thirteen days after Brett Kavanaugh was confirmed as the Supreme Court's newest associate justice, the court today issued a new set of circuit justice assignments, which take effect immediately. The new list was the second one in the past few months, replacing the assignment list issued after Justice Anthony Kennedy retired on July 31, leaving the court with only eight justices.

READ THIS PART VERY CAREFULLY AND THINK HOW BIG IT REALLY IS

A circuit justice is primarily responsible for emergency requests (for example, an application to block an execution or allow it to go forward) from the geographic area covered by his or her circuit, as well as more mundane matters - for example, a request to extend the time to file a petition for review. However, justices can and often do refer significant emergency requests to the full court, as Justice Neil Gorsuch did earlier this month with a request by Native Americans in North Dakota to block the state from enforcing a law requiring voters to show an ID that includes a residential street address.

In August, Chief Justice John Roberts had assumed responsibility for the 9th Circuit, which covers nine states (Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Oregon, Montana, Nevada and Washington) plus Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands. Justice Elena Kagan is now the circuit justice for the 9th Circuit; the 6th and 7th Circuits, for which Kagan had previously been responsible, are now covered by Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Brett Kavanaugh, respectively. All of the other circuit-justice assignments remain the same.

The chief justice generally is responsible for three circuits: the District of Columbia Circuit, the Federal Circuit and the 4th Circuit. Some of the other circuit assignments reflect the justices' links to different parts of the country. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, for example, is responsible for the 2nd Circuit, which includes New York, where she grew up and lived before moving to Washington to become a judge, while Justice Stephen Breyer, who sat on the 1st Circuit before he became a justice, is the circuit justice for that circuit. Justice Samuel Alito, who was born in New Jersey and formerly served as judge on the 3rd Circuit, which includes New Jersey, continues to serve as the circuit justice for the 3rd Circuit (along with the 5th Circuit), while Justice Clarence Thomas, a Georgia native, is the circuit justice for the 11th Circuit, which includes Georgia. Kagan, however, is a native New Yorker who has spent most of her adult life in Chicago, Massachusetts and Washington.

RBG was responsible of 2nd Circuit which covers Connecticut, New York and Vermont. Trump appointed new Justice now gets full control of these states and important one here is New York and SDNY area more specifically because of being significant DS hotspot with many things it has jurisdiction over(Weiner evidence collection, Clinton Foundation, Epstein evidence collection and Biden's Ukraine corruption) Remember that corrupt SDNY Attorney Berman who was fired couple of months ago? So now imagine you have honest SDNY Attorney who is willing to push these investigations and you combine it with Trump appointed 2nd Circuit Justice who has power over significant cases in NY? Do you know what's that called? PAIN

Supreme Court unanimously reaffirms: There is no 'hate speech' exception to the First Amendment
June 19, 2017
From today's opinion by Justice Samuel Alito (for four justices) in Matal v. Tam, the "Slants" case:


[The idea that the government may restrict] speech expressing ideas that offend ... strikes at the heart of the First Amendment. Speech that demeans on the basis of race, ethnicity, gender, religion, age, disability, or any other similar ground is hateful; but the proudest boast of our free speech jurisprudence is that we protect the freedom to express "the thought that we hate."

Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote separately, also for four justices, but on this point the opinions agreed:

A law found to discriminate based on viewpoint is an "egregious form of content discrimination," which is "presumptively unconstitutional." ... A law that can be directed against speech found offensive to some portion of the public can be turned against minority and dissenting views to the detriment of all. The First Amendment does not entrust that power to the government's benevolence. Instead, our reliance must be on the substantial safeguards of free and open discussion in a democratic society.

And the justices made clear that speech that some view as racially offensive is protected not just against outright prohibition but also against lesser restrictions.

In Matal, the government refused to register "The Slants" as a band's trademark, on the ground that the name might be seen as demeaning to Asian Americans. The government wasn't trying to forbid the band from using the mark; it was just denying it certain protections that trademarks get against unauthorized use by third parties.

But even in this sort of program, the court held, viewpoint discrimination - including against allegedly racially offensive viewpoints - is unconstitutional.

And this no-viewpoint-discrimination principle has long been seen as applying to exclusion of speakers from universities, denial of tax exemptions to nonprofits, and much more.

Supreme Court to hear Obamacare challenge one week after election

The Supreme Court will hear a constitutional challenge to the Obama-era Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. On Wednesday, the high court announced it would hear arguments in California v. Texas in its fall session, a case filed by a group of Republican-leaning states to challenge the law's individual mandate that penalizes those who don't purchase insurance. Arguments are planned for Nov. 10, one week after the general election. The lawsuit contends that after the Republican-controlled Congress lowered the individual mandate penalty in the law to zero, effectively eliminating its effect, it could no longer be considered a constitutional tax imposed by Congress. The lawsuit further argued that once the individual mandate is found unconstitutional, the rest of the law, which guarantees coverage for approximately 20 million people under its provisions, must be discarded. "Once the heart of the ACA - the individual mandate - is declared unconstitutional, the remainder of the ACA must also fall," the lawsuit said.

In 2012, the Supreme Court determined in a 5-4 decision that the individual mandate was a legitimate "tax" authorized by the Constitution. However, conservative Justices Antonin Scalia, Anthony Kennedy, Samuel Alito, and Clarence Thomas dissented, stating that the high court's decision effectively rewrote the law because Congress characterized the individual mandate as a penalty. In 2018, U.S. District Court Judge Reed O'Connor ruled in favor of those challenging the law, concluding that the entirety of Obamacare was unconstitutional. "The Court finds the Individual Mandate can no longer be fairly read as an exercise of Congress's Tax Power and is still impermissible under the Interstate Commerce Clause - meaning the Individual Mandate is unconstitutional. Third, the Court finds the Individual Mandate is essential to and inseverable from the remainder of the ACA," the decision read. Several states then joined the lawsuit in defense of the law as it was appealed to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals. At the end of 2019, the appeals court agreed in a 2-1 panel decision with the conclusion of the lower court that the individual mandate was no longer constitutional but referred the case back to the district court to determine if aspects of the law could remain in place without the individual mandate.

"The individual mandate is unconstitutional because it can no longer be read as a tax, and there is no other constitutional provision that justifies this exercise of congressional power," the decision read. "There was no reason for the district court to conclude that any provision in the ACA was inseverable from the coverage requirement. The majority does not necessarily disagree. I thus do not understand its decision to remand when, even on the majority's analysis of the case, it could instead reverse and render a judgment declaring only the coverage requirement unconstitutional," it later read, referring to the decision as "textbook judicial overreach."

California, one of the states defending the law, successfully petitioned the Supreme Court to review the decision, claiming it was done so "in a way that creates uncertainty about the status of the entire Affordable Care Act." "Review is also warranted because the decision is incorrect as to standing, the merits, and severability," it contends. Chief Justice John Roberts, who joined the high court's liberal minority to rule Obamacare constitutional and has been criticized by Republican leaders, including Vice President Mike Pence, will likely be the center of attention in the case.

So have you figured this out, that since Anthony Kennedy retired, there has been a liberal tag team of Roberts, Gorsuch and Kavanaugh, promoting sodomy, abortion, criminal rapine, and as Clarence Thomas has noted, have refused to hear any 2nd Amendment cases.

It is not so clever that I did not notice it, as this trio, allows one liberal to vote liberal, while the others vote loser conservative on a rotation. It allows a semblance of "gee these guys are sort of conservative" when they are all bungholer liberals.

It does not matter a hoot in hell if Donald Trump replaces Ruth Bader Ginsburg, because by miracle there will be TWO votes going liberal in this trio, and when it comes time for Breyer, it will be Roberts, Kavanaugh and Gorsuch voting like Hillary Clinton's puffy old lesbian snatch.

It is time that these 7 liberals on the court are exposed and these 3 frauds be exposed for the liberals they are.

Once again another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.

As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.




I will keep this simple so it is not lost.

This week Neil Gorsuch for the conglomerates who use Indians lands as a platform for criminal and money laundering ventures, made the Indians in Oklahoma sovereign.

You should begin to see a pattern here, as Roberts voted against this, but last week Roberts was voting for promoting butchering babies, as he castigated Brett Kavanaugh for outing him.

And you might remember the first thing Brett Kavanaugh did was refuse to hear an aborticide case.

11 Members and Associates of the Bully Gang Charged with Narcotics Conspiracy, Illegal Weapons Possession and Money Laundering
Comic Books and Legal Documents Soaked in Drugs Were Smuggled into Rikers Island

Defendants Include Two New York City Department of Education Employees

Two criminal complaints were unsealed today in federal court in Brooklyn charging 11 members and associates of the New York City-based Bully street gang with crimes related to conspiracies to distribute drugs throughout Maine and in New York, smuggling drugs into Rikers Island, illegal weapons possession and money laundering. The initial appearances of six defendants arrested today in Brooklyn and New Jersey-alleged Bully gang member Derrick Ayers and gang associates Bermon Clarke, Amy Sonnenblick, Nia Govan, Paul Harris and Anthony Kennedy-are scheduled for this afternoon before United States Chief Magistrate Judge Cheryl L. Pollak. Defendant Amanda Walton was arrested in Maine. Defendant Amanda Huard is currently not in custody. The remaining defendants were previously incarcerated.

Richard P. Donoghue, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, John B. DeVito, Special Agent-in-Charge, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, New York Field Division (ATF), Dermot F. Shea, Commissioner, New York City Police Department (NYPD), and Margaret Garnett, Commissioner, New York City Department of Investigation (DOI), announced the charges.

"As alleged, these defendants trafficked narcotics between Maine and New York, including smuggling dangerous contraband drugs into Rikers Island," stated United States Attorney Donoghue. "Drug dealers, and those who launder their drug proceeds, destroy lives and communities and, in this case, jeopardized the safety and security of a prison."

Roberts leaves his mark - "Chief Justice favors some when assigning court's major decisions," by Robert Barnes: "John Roberts is a stickler for evenly distributing the workload of the Supreme Court, but he plays favorites among his eight colleagues when assigning the court's most important decisions. Not surprisingly, Roberts calls his own number more than anyone else's and assigns the second-highest number to Anthony Kennedy, the pivotal justice on the ideologically divided court, according to a new study by Harvard law professor Richard J. Lazarus. On the other hand, Roberts has never assigned Sonia Sotomayor the court's opinion in a major case in her six terms on the court, Lazarus found, an omission that he wrote 'could be a bit portentous.' In looking broadly at the chief justice's 10 years on the job, Lazarus found that Roberts hesitates in assigning big decisions to the court's most conservative and liberal members - Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas on the right, and Sotomayor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the left."

As the Supreme Court races to issue opinions in more than 30 cases, Chief Justice John Roberts finds himself having to navigate issues as thorny as abortion, health care, affirmative action and immigration with a four-four split of conservative and liberal justices. Since the sudden death of Justice Antonin Scalia, the court has been left short-handed, with no obvious tie-breaker in a host of contentious cases. Roberts has made unanimity and collegiality on the court a priority since early in his tenure, and the loss of Scalia has put that to the test.

Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) heaped praise for Merrick Garland after meeting privately with the Supreme Court nominee on Wednesday, but said he won't change his mind on not moving his nomination this year. Graham, a member of the Judiciary Committee, said he told Garland that despite his credentials, the Senate won't act on replacing deceased Justice Antonin Scalia until a new president is elected in November. "He's a very nice man. He's, I think, an honest, very capable judge," Graham told reporters after his sit-down with Garland. He noted that Garland "worked well" with current Chief Justice John Roberts when both men were on the D.C. Circuit Court, "so there's no beef with him. Well-qualified man." Graham is the latest of several Republican senators who've held courtesy meetings with the Supreme Court nominee, only to reiterate the party line that no one will be confirmed during this election year.

The Supreme Court appeared closely divided along ideological lines during oral arguments Monday in a case that could determine President Barack Obama's legacy on immigration. Conservative justices questioned Obama's authority to use executive actions to shield some 4 million undocumented immigrants from deportation. Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito seemed particularly concerned with language in the administration's guidance that said the program's recipients would be "lawfully present," which they suggested would contradict immigration law. "How is it possible to lawfully work in the United States without lawfully being in the United States?" Alito asked. Roberts added: "I mean, they're lawfully present, and yet, they're present in violation of the law?"

Abbott, siding with Senate Republicans who have refused to hold hearings on Merrick Garland, also took a shot at Chief Justice John Roberts, who was appointed to the court by former President George W. Bush.

"Chief Justice John Roberts is the tip of the spear in playing politics," Abbott said. "Chief Justice John Roberts knowingly, clearly and unabashedly re-wrote Obamacare twice. What we are seeing is nothing more than naked politics being played by the United States Supreme Court."

The Stone Speaks.

Reveals how Flynn and his case will lead to the discovery of the SC's compromises.

Lead prosecutor Jonathan Kravis (pronounced like the word craven) - Yale Law '04 - was an associate White House Counsel to Barack Obama, hired just days after Obama's inauguration in 2009. Prior to this, Kravis was an associate at the DC lobbying firm of Williams and Connolly and a law clerk for ultra liberal Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer.

Zelinsky was picked up for the Mueller operation from his job at the U.S. Attorney's Office for Maryland, in Baltimore, where he had worked previously under Rod Rosenstein, the Deputy Attorney General who appointed Mueller as Special Counsel. Previously, Zelinsky worked in the Obama administration under Hillary Clinton, in the State Department's Office of Legal Adviser. He also clerked for Justices John Paul Stevens and Anthony Kennedy

Finally, in highest of high dudgeon, this partisan leftist ambulance chaser slams AG Bill Barr for daring to correct grotesque prosecutorial abuses of the sort that Kravis probably pats himself on the back for regularly committing.

To call Kravis's screed a load of sanctimonious self-serving twaddle from an intrinsically-deceitful rage-oholic thug would be an insult to both twaddle and thugs.

Kravis's deceits in this op-ed catastrophe are as brazen as they were in the courtroom and in the pleadings in U.S. v. Stone. The departure of this misanthrope from the DOJ was the best thing that has happened to that agency since Bill Barr arrived as AG. Good riddance to this dangerous, destructive menace of a lawyer.

Next up we have former leftist writer at Huffington Post and hand-picked Mueller zealot Aaron Zelinsky - Yale Law '10.

Zelinsky was picked up for the Mueller operation from his job at the U.S. Attorney's Office for Maryland, in Baltimore, where he had worked previously under Rod Rosenstein, the Deputy Attorney General who appointed Mueller as Special Counsel. Previously, Zelinsky worked in the Obama administration under Hillary Clinton, in the State Department's Office of Legal Adviser. He also clerked for Justices John Paul Stevens and Anthony Kennedy.

Everywhere he has been entrusted with power, Zelinsky has unfailingly proven himself to be a manipulative thug and a deceitful hypocrite.

With his Special Counsel cohorts Jeannie Rhee and Andrew Goldstein, Zelinsky reportedly lied to a U.S. District Court in a signed sentencing memorandum submitted in the case of Mueller target George Papadoplous. His filing in federal court portrayed Papadopolous as having harmed the government's investigation, when the exact opposite was true.

Lee Smith of Justthenews.com explains:

According to the sentencing memo signed by Zelinsky and fellow Mueller prosecutors Jeannie Rhee and Andrew Goldstein: Papadopoulos' "lies undermined investigators' ability to challenge the Professor or potentially detain or arrest him while he was still in the United States. The government understands that the Professor left the United States on February 11, 2017 and he has not returned to the United States since then.

But FBI 302 reports detailing agents' interviews with Papadopoulos show that he had in fact supplied information that would have enabled investigators to challenge or potentially detain or arrest Mifsud while he was in the United States.

Similarly in my own case, the initial sentencing memorandum Zelinsky filed also contained numerous factual claims that were either false or not in evidence. Mimicking Jonathan Kravis's closing argument falsehoods, Zelinsky's memo repeatedly made the false claim that Jerome Corsi was the "real intermediary" with Wikileaks to whom I referred during the 2016 election.

No evidence exists anywhere that Jerome Corsi ever had any contact whatsoever with either Wikileaks or Julian Assange. Corsi denies ever having such contact, and I never claimed at any time that Corsi was my intermediary. Despite their using Corsi repeatedly, in absentia, as supposed proof of the falsity of my testimony to the House Intelligence Committee naming Randy Credico as my intermediary, the government never called Corsi at trial.

In his book "Silent No More: How I Became a Political Prisoner of Mueller's Witch Hunt", Corsi goes into extensive detail about Zelinsky's bully tactics in interrogating him for dozens of hours about his relationship and work with me, in the offices of Special Counsel Robert Mueller, teamed up with Mueller attorneys Jeannie Rhee and Andrew Goldstein.

Corsi was so shaken by his treatment at the hands of these ruthless Special Counsel lawyers, that in the conclusion of his book he wrote: "Make no mistake, Rhee, Zelinsky, and Goldstein are Deep State criminals."

"A" John Roberts was on Epstein Flight in 2011. Was this another Obamacare Insurance Policy?

In one of the more remarkable Wikileaks exchanges, Clinton operatives Neera Tanden and Jennifer Palmieri took credit for "scaring off" Chief Justice John Roberts by threatening to make the Supreme Court's decision in the first Obamacare case, NFIB v. Sebelius, a campaign issue. In the main email in the thread, Neera Tanden harkens back to the first Obamacare case, decided on a 5-4 vote in 2012, and says that she believes the White House was able to "scared off" Chief Justice John Roberts by politicizing the case and using blackmail as well.

She suggests that the Clinton campaign should do the same with regard to the then-pending second Obamacare case, King v. Burwell. She identifies Justices Roberts and Anthony Kennedy as most vulnerable to political pressure:

Could Roe v. Wade be overturned? Hundreds of members of Congress sign amicus brief ahead of key SCOTUS case
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/congress-members-file-competing-legal-briefs-in-key-scotus-abortion-case

Several hundred members of Congress filed "amicus," or supporting, briefs in a closely watched upcoming Supreme Court case that could decide the future of abortion access.

The brief from 207 mostly GOPers included signatures from Sens. Mitt Romney, John Cornyn, Marco Rubio and Reps Steve Scalise and Liz Cheney. The opposing brief was signed by 197 members of Congress – a mostly Democratic group that included Sens. Chuck Schumer and Dianne Feinstein, as well as Reps. Nancy Pelosi and Jerry Nadler.

The mostly Republican signatories – 39 senators and 168 representatives – argued that Louisiana clinics are rife with safety violations – and that the time is ripe to reconsider the legal underpinnings of Roe v. Wade, the seminal 1973 Supreme Court case that established a constitutional right to an abortion. All were Republicans except Democratic Reps. Dan Lipinski and Collin Peterson.

"Roe's jurisprudence has been characterized by Delphic confusion and protean change," the members wrote.

They argued that Roe claimed to establish a fundamental right to abortion – only for the 1992 Supreme Court case Planned Parenthood v. Casey to establish a new standard, which required that the government not impose an "undue burden" on abortion rights. Multiple incoherent exceptions and balancing tests have since been employed by the courts, according to the amicus brief.

For example, one Supreme Court case post-Casey defined a law as an "undue burden" on abortion rights if in a "large fraction of the cases in which [the law] is relevant, it will operate as a substantial obstacle" – a test later abandoned. then revived by the high court.

Meanwhile, the Democrats primarily argued that stare decisis, the principle through which existing Supreme Court cases are given deference, dictated that Roe should remain good law.

The high court will hear arguments in March on the case, which involves a Louisiana law that requires doctors who perform abortions to have admitting privileges at a nearby hospital. The Louisiana statute is virtually identical to a Texas law that the Supreme Court struck down in 2016.

That decision came when Justice Anthony Kennedy was on the bench and before President Donald Trump's two high court picks, Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh, joined the court.

At least one justice is likely to find the amicus brief agreeable. Last summer, in a concurring opinion in a Supreme Court case, Justice Clarence Thomas issued a lengthy call for his colleagues to overturn "demonstrably erroneous decisions" even if they have been upheld for decades – prompting legal observers to say Thomas was laying the groundwork to overturn Roe.

The 5th Circuit Court of appeals recently lifted an injunction issued by a lower court against the Louisiana law, but the Supreme Court quickly restored the injunction.

The Supreme Court's upcoming decision comes as abortion has taken center stage in legal battles across the United States, with numerous states passing stricter limits on abortion.

Last August, Planned Parenthood announced that it was pulling out of the Title X federal family planning program rather than abide by a new Trump administration rule prohibiting participants from referring patients for abortions.

More on Irish Mafia, Clinton's and many well know politicians, jurists and businessmen are in it

The FitzGerald families are Irish royalty and the top Irish peerage today. They are the highest authority in Ireland. They are loyal to the Vatican and the Black Nobility and also work with British nobility. Current members include Baron Adrian FitzGerald who is a Knight of Malta and the former President of the Irish Association of the Military Order of Malta. The head of the FitzGerald family is Duke Maurice FitzGerald of Leinster and his nephews Hermione FitzGerald and Edward FitzGerald are next in line for the title.
-The Kennedy family married in with the FitzGerald family with the Knight of Malta Joseph Kennedy marrying the Vatican Countess Rose Elizabeth Fitzgerald. The Kennedy family were and are closely connected with the mafia with Sam Giancana as a friend of Joseph Kennedy and Frank Sinatra friends with JFK.
-Carlos Gambino's daughter Phyllis Gambino-Sinatra married in with the Sinatra family. Edward Kennedy Jr. and John M. Kennedy Jr. are currently US politicians. Joe Kennedy III is a politician as well.
-Anthony Kennedy is a Supreme Court Justice. The Kennedy family are a top political dynasty in the United States and deeply connected with the Vatican and Knights of Malta as well as ties with the Irish and Italian mafias. The Kennedy's have authority over a faction of the Democratic Party and are rivals with the Bush family. Mafias are used to blackmail and intimidate people into carrying out their criminal agendas.
-The FitzGerald Earls of Desmond ruled in Rathkeale, Ireland where they built a fortress. The FitzGerald's of Desmond have some ownership over the Rathkeale Mafia which is an international Irish crime syndicate consisting of Irish Travelers and is believed to be one of the wealthiest mafias in the world. They are involved in high-end thefts and target museums and auction houses including in the UK.
-Prince Tancredi Massimo who lives in London is also an owner and consiglieri of the Rathkeale Mafia and works as an art appraiser for auction houses. The name Tancredi derives from the words Tank and Rath. Gerry Hutch is an Irish Mafia boss involved in fixing boxing fights.
-Conor McGregor is a criminal associate of the Irish Mafia and an MMA fighter and boxer. Mafias also run rackets at race tracks to fix their bets. J. P. McManus is a wealthy businessman from Ireland that has won millions gambling at racetracks in the United States. J.P. McManus has done shady business deals which were investigated with Dermot Desmond who is an Irish billionaire and banker that covertly works for the FitzGerald Earl's of Desmond's royal household.
-Another Fitzgerald agent Desmond Fitzgerald is the managing director of EBS d.a.c. bank in Ireland. I believe the Irish Mafia and their owners launder much of their criminal profits into gold and keep it concealed in vaults rather than banks.

"Ladies and gentlemen, if Donald Trump wanted to obstruct this phony investigation, there's not a staffer in the White House, there's not a cabinet secretary, there's not a single person who could have stopped him. Not one. He could have fired Mueller; he didn't. ... Don McGahn didn't stop anything. If the president of the United States wanted to fire Mueller, he would have fired Mueller.

Q Research General #8809: Bulletproof Edition

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas spoke out against dismemberment abortions Friday, saying that justices must confront the realities of what the Supreme Court "has wrought" through abortion rulings.

In a concurring opinion, Thomas spoke on an Alabama law against dismemberment abortion after the Supreme Court declined to hear the case on Friday. The justice said that it is "implausible" that the Constitution would protect the dismemberment of a living child. The case was Harris v. West Alabama Women's Center.


Thomas described the dismemberment abortion process, saying that the more developed a child is, "the more likely an abortion will involve dismembering it."

"The notion that anything in the Constitution prevents States from passing laws prohibiting the dismembering of a living child is implausible," the Supreme Court Justice said. (RELATED: Are Women Who Have Abortions Also Mothers? Here's What RBG Said)

But Thomas noted that under the "undue burden" standard, restrictions on abortion are unconstitutional if their purpose is to put an obstacle in the path of a woman who is seeking an abortion.

Thomas referenced Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pa. v. Casey in which abortion providers persuaded lower courts that abortion options other than dismemberment abortions were too risky.

The Supreme Court justice said that lower courts ruled that Alabama abortion laws "had the effect of burdening abortions even though it did not prevent them."

Thomas said that this case serves "as a stark reminder that our abortion jurisprudence has spiraled out of control."

"Although this case does not present the opportunity to address our demonstrably erroneous 'undue burden' standard, we cannot continue blinking the reality of what this Court has wrought," Thomas said.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday sidestepped a major new challenge to abortion rights by declining to hear Alabama's bid to revive a Republican-backed state law that would have effectively banned the procedure after 15 weeks of pregnancy.

The justices left in place a lower court ruling that struck down the 2016 law, which would have criminalized a method called dilation and evacuation that is the most common type of abortion performed during the second trimester of a pregnancy.

The law in question is different than an even more strict Alabama measure signed by Republican Governor Kay Ivey in May. The new law, also facing a legal challenge, would ban nearly all abortions in the state, even in cases of rape and incest.

Conservative Justice Clarence Thomas wrote an opinion agreeing with the court's decision not to hear the issue now but making clear that he would vote to uphold such laws.

"The notion that anything in the Constitution prevents states from passing laws prohibiting the dismembering of a living child is implausible," Thomas wrote.

The Alabama law was one of a growing number passed by Republican legislators at the state level imposing a variety of restrictions on abortion.

"While we are pleased to see the end of this particular case, we know that it is nowhere near the end of efforts to undermine access to abortion," said Andrew Beck, a lawyer with the American Civil Liberties Union, which challenged the law.

"Politicians are lining up to do just what Alabama did - ask the courts to review laws that push abortion out of reach and harm women's health, with the hope of the getting the Supreme Court to undermine, or even overturn, a woman's right to abortion," Beck added.

The lower court found that Alabama's law was an infringement on a woman's constitutional right to abortion recognized in the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling. A ruling by the conservative-majority Supreme Court upholding the Alabama measure could have chipped away at the Roe decision, which legalized abortion nationwide.

In the method targeted in the Alabama law, sometimes called D&E, a woman's cervix is dilated and the contents of the uterus removed. Alabama calls this method "dismemberment abortion."

Anti-abortion proponents had hoped the case would present an opportunity to make inroads at the Supreme Court following the retirement last year of Justice Anthony Kennedy, who was pivotal in defending abortion rights. President Donald Trump, who vowed before the 2016 election to appoint justices who would overturn the Roe ruling, named conservative Justice Brett Kavanaugh to replace Kennedy.

The Supreme Court has a 5-4 conservative majority but has sent mixed messages on abortion in recent months.

Most recently, the court on May 28 refused to consider reinstating Indiana's ban on abortions performed because of fetal disability or the sex or race of the fetus while upholding the state's requirement that fetal remains be buried or cremated after the procedure is done.

In February, the court blocked a Louisiana law imposing strict regulations on abortion clinics from going into effect. An appeal is pending in that case.

The Supreme Court on Dec. 10 declined to take up another abortion-related case when it rebuffed two other conservative-leaning states - Louisiana and Kansas - that moved to deny public funding to Planned Parenthood.

Anti-abortion activists hope the high court will be more receptive to abortion restrictions following Kennedy's departure. Many liberals have expressed concern that Kavanaugh, who joined the court in October, will be more hostile to abortion rights and could support the overturning of Roe.

The Supreme Court in 2016 on buttressed constitutional protections for abortion rights in a ruling in which Kennedy joined the four liberal justices, throwing out a Texas law imposing difficult-to-meet requirements on abortion clinics and abortion doctors.

With Kennedy gone, conservative states are debating and in some cases enacting laws that are in direct conflict with the Roe v. Wade precedent.

Anticipation builds for final Supreme Court rulings

With just two weeks left in the month of June, the justices have yet to issue rulings in 24 cases, including high-profile decisions that will affect the census citizenship question and partisan gerrymandering.
The final stretch may also signal how the new conservative majority will rule on other major cases down the line, providing a glimpse of some of the issues the justices could take up when their next term starts in October.

ustice Ruth Bader Ginsburg suggested in remarks delivered earlier this month that split decisions on the court could be expected before the end of this term.
"Given the number of most-watched cases still unannounced, I cannot predict that the relatively low sharp divisions ratio will hold," she said, noting that about a quarter of the court's decisions issued this term have been 5-4 or 5-3.
Ginsburg added that the 2018 retirement of swing vote Justice Anthony Kennedy has had the "greatest consequence for the current term, and perhaps for many terms ahead."
Justice Brett Kavanaugh succeeded Kennedy, giving conservatives a 5-4 majority on the bench.
There will also be a mad dash in the last two weeks of June to wrap up the term. Ginsburg said in her remarks that while the justices try not to leave too many decisions for the final weeks, "this term, the opposite occurred, but not because we planned it that way."

The most anticipated decision will determine whether the Trump administration can add a citizenship question to the 2020 census.
The justices announced earlier this year that they will hear arguments on whether anti-discrimination laws apply to LGBT people in the workplace.
The administration, however, is eager for the court to hear cases challenging the end of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), after a pair of appeals courts found that Trump officials violated federal law in their winding down of the Obama-era program.

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas dismissed rumors of his impending retirement in an interview at the Supreme Court Historical Society on Monday.

"I have no idea where this stuff comes from," Thomas said, responding to chatter he planned to announce his retirement in June. "One of the things you have to get used to in this business … is that people can say things about you and for you that have nothing to do with you." 'no idea' where retirement rumors come from.

Thomas similarly said an exhibit at the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture misrepresented his thinking on affirmative action and that he had not been consulted for the exhibit. Thomas's full remarks are scheduled to run on C-SPAN at 10 p.m. Monday.

Thomas previously denied he had any plans to retire in April, saying at Pepperdine University, "I'm not retiring" and seemingly dismissing the suggestion that he planned to leave his post in the next 20 or 30 years.

Thomas is 70 years old. President Trump's most recent Supreme Court appointee, Brett Kavanaugh, is 54 and replaced Anthony Kennedy, who retired at the age of 82.

U.S. Supreme Court avoids abortion question, upholds fetal burial measure

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday sent a mixed message on abortion, refusing to consider reinstating Indiana's ban on abortions performed because of fetal disability or the sex or race of the fetus while upholding the state's requirement that fetal remains be buried or cremated after the procedure is done. Both provisions were part of a Republican-backed 2016 law signed by Vice President Mike Pence when he was Indiana's governor. The action by the justices comes at a time when numerous Republican-governed states including Alabama are approving restrictive abortion laws that the Supreme Court may be called upon to rule on in the future.

In an unsigned ruling, with two of the nine-member court's liberals dissenting, the Supreme Court decided that a lower court was wrong to conclude that Indiana's fetal burial provision, which imposed new requirements on abortion clinics, had no legitimate purpose. The court has a 5-4 conservative majority. While the fetal burial provision was not a direct challenge to the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion, the ruling gave anti-abortion proponents a victory at the Supreme Court, which soon may have to decide whether various state laws violate the rights recognized in that landmark ruling.

But the court also indicated a reluctance to directly tackle the abortion issue at least for now, rejecting Indiana's separate attempt to reinstate its ban on abortions performed because of fetal disability or the sex or race of the fetus. The court left in place the part of an appeals court ruling that struck down that the provision. "While this ruling is limited, the law is part of a larger trend of state laws designed to stigmatize and drive abortion care out of reach. Whether it's a total ban or a law designed to shut down clinics, politicians are lining up to decimate access to abortion," said Jennifer Dalven, a lawyer with the American Civil Liberties Union, which was part of the legal challenge to the Indiana law.

The fetal burial ruling stated that the Supreme Court has previously said that states have a legitimate interest in the disposal of fetal remains. The court noted that in challenging the law, women's healthcare and abortion provider Planned Parenthood did not allege that the provision implicated the right of women to obtain an abortion. "This case, as litigated, therefore does not implicate our cases applying the undue burden test to abortion regulations," the ruling said.

The Indiana case was one of the court's first major tests in abortion context following the retirement last year of Justice Anthony Kennedy, who was pivotal in defending abortion rights. Kennedy was replaced by President Donald Trump's conservative appointee Brett Kavanaugh. Anti-abortion activists hope the high court will be more receptive to abortion restrictions following Kennedy's departure. Alabama, Georgia, Missouri, Mississippi and other states have passed restrictive abortion laws in recent months.

ANONS we all heard about Apple but there are much broader potential perspectives that could have dramatic implications regarding Rowe v Wade. Thanks to the ANON Patriot on QRV.

Supreme Court Future Implications

On May 13, 2019, Justice Thomas, writing for the conservative majority of the U.S. Supreme Court, reversed a nearly 40 year old Supreme Court case, re-establishing state sovereignty rights vis-a-vis other states (the ability to assert immunity in cases brought by residents of other states).

In Franchise Tax Board of California v. Hyatt the Court ruled that the Constitution does not permit a state to be sued by a private party without its consent in the courts of a different state, overruling the Court's 1979 decision to the contrary in Nevada v. Hall.

SOURCE

https://www.forbes.com/sites/ashleaebeling/2019/05/13/supreme-court-shows-its-ready-to-overrule-precedent-dissent-sounds-alarm-in-california-v-hyatt/#5ef21b964ccb

Ironically, if this decision ends up being cited in a hypothetical future decision narrowing the reach of Roe v. Wade (the seminal Supreme Court abortion ruling) and its progeny, it will have been lawyers representing the liberal state of California who sucessfully argued for the overturning of a case considered stare decisis (precedent). Stare decisis is the legal principle that, with limited exceptions, binds courts to follow legal precedents set by previous decisions.It is a Latin term meaning "to stand by that which is decided."

In another case, Apple Inc v. Pepper, on Monday, written by Justice Kavanaugh and joined in by the liberal justices, the Court allowed the case to proceed to its next stage - triggering criticism from fellow conservative Justice Gorsuch that following Supreme Court precedent would dictate a different result.

The lawsuit was brought against Apple by four iPhone users, who claimed that Apple was monopolizing the retail market for the sale of apps and using that monopoly to force higher-than-competitive charges for its apps.

Gorsuch's dissenting minority opinion cited the landmark Illinois Brick Co. v. Illinois case of 1977 to say that "an antitrust plaintiff can't sue a defendant for overcharging someone else who might (or might not) have passed on all (or some) of the overcharge to him."

… Today's ruling, Gorsuch said, could begin whittling away the decision in Illinois Brick and may also call other, older cases into question.

SOURCE

https://www.npr.org/2019/05/13/722831702/supreme-court-rules-against-apple-as-kavanaugh-sides-with-liberal-justices

So in both cases, the Supreme Court overrruled, and/or created albeit disputed distinguishing criteria to rule against applying, long-standing Supreme Court precedents.

The developments this week caused liberal Justice Breyer in the CA Franchise Tax Board case to state the obvious:

Breyer then offered a thinly veiled warning. After citing the stare decisis factors famously adduced in the important abortion-rights decision Planned Parenthood v. Casey, Breyer ominously observed, "Today's decision can only cause one to wonder which cases the Court will overrule next."

The message here is not subtle. Casey was made possible by Justice Anthony Kennedy, who has now retired. And Hyatt ignored the strong stare decisis requirements that marked Casey.

So perhaps the "next" overruling will involve abortion rights - another longtime target of conservative opposition.

The Roberts Court Is Considering the Legal Reasoning of Jim Crow to Uphold a Rigged Census

There's an odious Supreme Court case from 1971, Palmer v. Thompson, that most people don't remember and that most who do remember wish they could forget. It's a relic of a bygone era-one of the last pieces of the Jim Crow system that the Supreme Court ever sustained.

On our current Supreme Court, Palmer v. Thompson looks to be having a moment. Its reasoning stealthily drove last year's decision in Trump v. Hawaii, in which the court's five-justice conservative majority upheld the travel restrictions that the president had planned during the campaign to be a "Muslim ban." And this week's oral arguments in the census case suggest that four of the conservative justices who upheld that pretextual ban-and the fifth conservative who replaced Anthony Kennedy-are poised to use the reasoning of both Palmer and that travel ban decision to endorse the administration's tactic of forcing people to reveal their citizenship status if they simply want to be counted as present in the country.

How could a late-stage Jim Crow decision be wreaking such havoc in the 21st century?

Now, improbably, Palmer v. Thompson is back.

Consider this week's oral argument in the census case, Department of Commerce v. New York. The census has many uses, but the most important-the one listed in the Constitution-is the "actual enumeration" of all the people in the country. The census tally drives legislative apportionment, and legislative apportionment drives our democracy. Getting the numbers right is crucial because the tally is enduring. The count won't happen again for a decade.

The Supreme Court's Conservatives Just Legalized Torture

In an appalling death penalty opinion, Justice Neil Gorsuch just overturned 60 years of precedent.

By Mark Joseph Stern
April 01, 20191:14 PM

On Monday, five justices of the Supreme Court authorized Missouri to torture a man to death. In the process, they appear to have overruled decades of Eighth Amendment precedents in a quest to let states impose barbaric punishments, including excruciating executions, on prisoners. The court's conservative majority has converted a once-fringe view into the law of the land, imperiling dozens of decisions protecting the rights of death row inmates, as well as juvenile offenders. Its ruling signals the end of an Eighth Amendment jurisprudence governed by "civilized standards"-and the beginning of a new, brutal era in American capital punishment.

Russell Bucklew is a death row inmate in Missouri who suffers from a rare medical condition called cavernous hemangioma. Due to this disorder, his body is covered with tumors filled with blood vessels. Tumors in Bucklew's neck and throat, his lips and uvula, which make it difficult for him to breathe. They are highly sensitive and frequently squirt blood. A medical expert, Dr. Joel Zivot, has testified that if Missouri administers a lethal injection to Bucklew, he will die a slow, agonizing death. His tumors will rupture and fill his mouth with blood, and he will suffocate to death in unbearable pain, choking and convulsing on the gurney as he dies.

To forestall this fate, Bucklew sought to block his execution by lethal injection, arguing that it would violate the Eighth Amendment's bar against "cruel and unusual punishments." Under two Supreme Court precedents, Baze v. Rees and Glossip v. Gross, an inmate challenging his method of execution must provide an "available alternative" that will cause less pain.
Bucklew asked to be killed with nitrogen gas so that he can die from "hypoxia," a lack of oxygen, because his death from hypoxia would be faster than his death from lethal injection.

In Monday's Bucklew v. Precythe, the court rejected his claim by a 5-4 vote. Justice Neil Gorsuch's opinion for the court, however, does much more than condemn Bucklew to a harrowing demise. It also quietly overrules, or at least erodes, more than 60 years of precedents, including several written by Justice Anthony Kennedy. Gorsuch embraced a vision of the Eighth Amendment supported by Justices Clarence Thomas and Antonin Scalia that has consistently been rejected as dangerously extreme by a majority of the court.

Here is how Gorsuch does it. Baze and Glossip, he writes, declare that if a death row inmate seeks to avoid a certain method of execution, he must identify a different one that can be feasibly administered. That is true. But why does the Eighth Amendment prescribe such a test? In Baze and Glossip, the court explained that "because it is settled that capital punishment is constitutional," there "must be" a constitutional "means of carrying it out." "[B]ecause some risk of pain is inherent in any method of execution," the court has held, "the Constitution does not require the avoidance of all risk of pain." The court's duty, then, is simply to ensure that states do not impose a risky method of execution when a less painful method is at their disposal.

In 2008's Baze and 2015's Glossip, Thomas and Scalia went further. In both cases, they argued that, as originally understood, the Eighth Amendment only prohibited states from intentionally making executions more painful than they had to be. As Thomas wrote in Baze, an execution only infringes upon the Constitution when "terror, pain, or disgrace" are "superadded." So long as a state does not "superadd" pain to an execution, it has complied with the Eighth Amendment. Thomas' theory would effectively shut down challenges to every method of execution unless an inmate had (impossible to obtain) evidence that the state was sadistically and gratuitously increasing the pain of his death.

Trump 'saving' Amy Coney Barrett for Ruth Bader Ginsburg's Supreme Court seat

President Trump is understood to be "saving" U.S. Circuit Judge Amy Coney Barrett to replace Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

"I'm saving her for Ginsburg," Trump said a number of times while in discussions about replacing Justice Anthony Kennedy last year, according to Axios.

Barrett, 47, is socially conservative Catholic with seven children - two of whom were adopted from Haiti. Her academic writings suggest she might support overturning the landmark Roe v. Wade case.

Trump went with Justice Brett Kavanaugh to replace Kennedy, who retired in July. During talks about Supreme Court picks, Trump's advisers were worried that nominating Barrett could cost the votes of Republican Sens. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Susan Collins of Maine, who supported to Roe v. Wade.

Ginsburg has indicated she won't retire while Trump is in office. She is 86 and has had three bouts of cancer. This year she missed oral arguments for the first time in her 25 years on the court.

Kavanaugh endured a bruising nomination last year. His confirmation vote came by way of a slim 50-48 margin after accusations of sexual misconduct when he was in high school emerged.

Trump says he is 'saving' Barrett for Ginsburg seat: Axios

President Trump has reportedly said he is "saving" Judge Amy Barrett of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit to replace Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court, according to Axios. Barrett was a popular choice among conservative activists as a candidate to replace Justice Anthony Kennedy before Trump eventually nominated Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

Axios reported that Trump has made clear his desire to replace Ginsburg with Barrett since Kennedy's decision to retire, telling people on separate occasions, "I'm saving her for Ginsburg. Trump also opted against nominating Barrett over concerns that her opposition to abortion rights would lead Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) and Susan Collins (R-Maine) to vote against her, according to the news outlet. Aides were reportedly confident enough Republicans would gain Senate seats in the 2018 midterms that they decided a more conservative nominee would stand a better chance of confirmation after the elections. Ginsburg, 86, recently returned to the bench after missing a series of cases in January because of cancer surgery last December. The Hill has reached out to the White House for comment.

As he was deliberating last year over replacing Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy, President Trump told confidants he had big plans for Judge Amy Coney Barrett.
"I'm saving her for Ginsburg," Trump said of Barrett, according to three sources familiar with the president's private comments. Trump used that exact line with a number of people, including in a private conversation with an adviser two days before announcing Brett Kavanaugh's nomination.
Barrett is a favorite among conservative activists, many of whom wanted her to take Kennedy's spot.
Yes, but: There's no guarantee Trump will get another Supreme Court pick. It's very unlikely Ginsburg will retire while he's in office. And though she's 86 and has had 3 bouts with cancer, she's on the bench now and appears healthy.

The Kavanaugh effect: Kennedy's retirement looms large in gerrymandering case

Two cases before the Supreme Court Tuesday could yield rulings where the replacement of Justice Anthony Kennedy by Justice Brett Kavanaugh is acutely felt. The cases are related to partisan gerrymandering. Kavanaugh, the court's newest member and former judge on the federal appeals court in the District of Columbia, has yet to confront partisanship in the redistricting process, leaving his view shrouded in mystery.

"We don't really have a good track record to draw on, and it's a bit of a mystery going into this how some of the most conservative justices are going to view gerrymandering at this point," Campaign Legal Center Vice President Paul Smith said. But the key to earning Kavanaugh's vote could be conservative Chief Justice John Roberts, whose lead Kavanaugh appears to be following.

"If it turns out one or more of the plaintiff groups here have found a way to appeal to Chief Justice Roberts, I think it would be very possible to get Kavanaugh as well," Smith said. Partisan gerrymandering opponents had looked to Kennedy as the swing vote, as he previously suggested a voting map may be so infected with politics it is unconstitutional. But the composition of the court changed after Kennedy's retirement last year, and his replacement by Kavanaugh shifted the Supreme Court rightward. Conservatives tend to think the courts should not have a role in deciding how states draw districts.

The justices will hear arguments in cases involving congressional districts in North Carolina and Maryland, which lower courts struck down as unconstitutional because of an excessive injection of politics. The cases raise the question of whether extreme partisan gerrymandering runs afoul of the Constitution, which was posed to the justices last term. But the court issued technical rulings in challenges to voting maps from Maryland - before the court again Tuesday - and Wisconsin.

Kavanaugh hasn't ruled on any redistricting cases so his views on the issue are unknown, and while he clerked for Kennedy on the Supreme Court, he is "his own man, he's his own justice, he has his own views," Loyola Law School professor Justin Levitt said. "I think he shares Justice Kennedy's concerns and the concern of a lot of the justices with the use of state power to punish people for what they believe," Levitt said. "There's only one person who knows how far that principle will carry, and I'm not him. But I wouldn't be surprised to see Kavanaugh, like the other justices on the court, really putting the questions for the advocates for the states about whether this is constitutionally acceptable." The challenge to Maryland's 6th Congressional District was brought by GOP voters who say the state's Democrats retaliated against them for their support of Republicans in violation of the First Amendment.

Marketplace of ideas and Freedom of Speech 2

Since this first appeal to the marketplace of ideas as a theory of free expression, it has been invoked hundreds if not thousands of times by the Supreme Court and federal judges to oppose censorship and to encourage freedom of thought and expression. The Court invoked the phrase in McCreary County v. American Civil Liberties Union (2005) to strike down a religious display of the Ten Commandments in front of a courthouse, in Randall v. Sorrell (2006) to invalidate expenditure limits for candidates for political office, and in Reno v. American Civil Liberties Union (1997) to bar enforcement of the Communications Decency Act in censoring the content of material distributed on the Internet and the Web.

More recently, the Court invoked the phrase several times in Matal v. Tam (2017), the decision invalidating a provision of federal trademark law that prohibited disparaging trademarks. Both Justice Samuel Alito in his majority opinion and Justice Anthony Kennedy in his concurring opinion referenced the marketplace of ideas.

The Court used the phrase in Walker v. Sons of Confederate Veterans (2015), explaining that "government statements do not normally trigger the First Amendment rules designed to protect the marketplace of ideas."

Justice Stephen Breyer also invoked the metaphor in his concurring opinion in Reed v . Town of Gilbert (2015), writing that "whenever government disfavors one kind of speech, it places that speech at a disadvantage, potentially interfering with the free marketplace of ideas and with an individual's ability to express thoughts and ideas that can help that individual determine the kind of society in which he wishes to live, help shape that society, and help define his place within it."

Overall, the marketplace of ideas analogy has become a powerful idea, underpinning much of First Amendment jurisprudence. It remains perhaps the most pervasive metaphor to justify broad protections for free speech.

ROBERTS FLIPPED ON OBAMACARE'S MEDICAID EXPANSION

Chief Justice John Roberts initially sided with the four liberal justices to support the part of Obamacare that obligated states to accept the Medicaid expansion or otherwise lose out on the program entirely, according an adapted excerpt from the book "Chief" out Tuesday by CNN's Joan Biskupic. The 2012 ruling in National Federation of Independent Business v. Sebelius to make the Medicaid provision in Obamacare optional ultimately landed at 7-2 as Roberts negotiated with Justices Elena Kagan and Stephen Breyer to side with the conservative justices in exchange for his vote to uphold the individual mandate.

The justices thought that states would go along with the Medicaid expansion because the federal government covers the majority of costs. That assumption turned out to be incorrect. More than a dozen states still haven't expanded, and Republican state legislatures all over the country are advancing laws to scale back expansion. Supreme Court deliberations are private, and justices don't respond to rumors that surface or to reporting. It's difficult to assess the claims in the book because the inner workings of the Supreme Court are closely guarded, and justices do not tend to share what goes on during their conferences where they discuss cases and cast voters. Clerks, too, are notoriously tight-lipped and take a vow of confidentiality.

Jan Crawford had previously reported for CBS that Roberts initially believed the fine on the uninsured should be struck down, but the latest details from Biskupic on Medicaid are new. Roberts did not endorse the argument that the penalty could be upheld as an exercise of Congress's power to regulate interstate commerce, but he did uphold it as allowed under the power to tax.

In "Chief," Biskupic reports that Roberts believed the individual mandate was only necessary to uphold Obamacare's protections on pre-existing illnesses, but that without it the rest of the law could remain intact. His conservative colleagues disagreed and would not budge on their stance that the entire law would otherwise fall apart without it. Roberts unsuccessfully tried to convince Justice Anthony Kennedy, the notorious swing vote, not to support striking down the entire law, before instead turning to Kagan and Breyer. Roberts "acknowledged being torn between his heart and his head, as he put it, and express some hesitancy to strike down a law intended to solve the nation's health insurance crisis," Biskupic writes. The individual mandate ultimately was upheld 5-4. It was zeroed out this year as part of the tax law signed by President Trump, and is now facing additional legal challenges from Republican state officials who say it is an essential part of the law. The Trump administration believes it is only essential to the protections for people with pre-existing illnesses, as Roberts also believed, according to Biskupic's reporting.

Patriots' owner Robert Kraft has assembled a legal dream team to handle his misdemeanor sex solicitation case; can they save him?

https://www.yahoo.com/gma/patriots-owner-robert-kraft-assembled-legal-dream-team-234510439–abc-news-topstories.html

The situation Kraft and scores of other central Florida men found themselves in last month is one consequence of the evolving use by law enforcement of surveillance tactics and tools originally reserved for terrorism investigations.

The USA Patriot Act signed in 2001 for the first time authorized the use of so-called 'sneak-and-peak' warrants, which allow U.S. law enforcement officials to covertly enter a private premises without the owner's knowledge or permission, and in the case of the Florida investigation, record video evidence over weeks.

While the justification for such an arguably invasive investigative technique is hard to make for a misdemeanor-level prostitution case, the contention that the probe was a large-scale, months-long operation aimed at human-trafficking, not prostitution, suggests the warrants may stand up under scrutiny, according to local defense attorneys not involved in the Kraft case.

'Sneak-and-peak warrants'

Kraft recently recruited defense attorneys Alex Spiro and William Burck, who was a lawyer in the George W. Bush White House.

Burck is a Yale Law School graduate who served in the George W. Bush White House and clerked for retired U.S. Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy. He later as a prosecutor with Southern District of New York between 2003 and 2005.

Burck has also represented former Trump White House chief strategist Steve Bannon and former White House counsel, Don McGahn.

Spiro, a Boston-bred Harvard Law School graduate has represented pop stars Mick Jagger and Jay-Z, as well as a raft of top athletes.

After then-Atlanta Hawk Sefolosha was arrested in New York for resisting arrest, Spiro wrangled a $4 million to settle out of the city. An alleged nightclub assault resulted in community service for Spiro client Matt Barnes, the former NBA player. When retired New York Knick Charles Oakley was ejected from a Knicks game and arrested after a courtside dispute, he hired Spiro.

Spiro, a former Manhattan prosecutor, was also part of the defense team that represented New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez in the second of two separate murder trials.

In the first trial, Hernandez was found guilty in 2015 of a murder and sentenced to life in prison. But two years later, he was acquitted of the murders of two men in a separate case. Two days after the acquittals, which Spiro helped secure, Hernandez committed suicide in prison.

Another attorney on the team is Jeffrey Goldberger, the criminal defense attorney who helped politically-connected Florida financier Jeffrey Epstein reach a non-prosecution deal in 2008 with the Miami U.S. Attorney's office to end a federal investigation into sex abuse involving at least 40 teenage girls.

Masterpiece Cakeshop And Colorado Call Truce In Harassment, Discrimination Dispute

Christian baker Jack Phillips and the Colorado Civil Rights Commission (CCRC) have resolved a legal dispute that set Phillips' religious beliefs against the state's public accommodations law. The deal, announced Tuesday afternoon, provides that the Commission will close an ongoing anti-discrimination probe of Phillips's Masterpiece Cakeshop if Phillips withdraws a federal lawsuit alleging state officials were subjecting him to a concerted campaign of harassment.

"After careful consideration of the facts, both sides agreed it was not in anyone's best interest to move forward with these cases," Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser said in a statement. "The larger constitutional issues might well be decided down the road, but these cases will not be the vehicle for resolving them." The Supreme Court found that the Commission's first action against Phillips was infected with anti-religious animus. The June 2018 judgment was 7-2. The case arose when Phillips refused to create a custom wedding cake for a gay couple, Charlie Craig and David Mullins. The Court did not decide whether business owners can claim a religious exemption to public accommodations laws, a provocative question that remains unresolved.

The state issued a second probable cause finding against Phillips three weeks after the high court's ruling. In that instance, a prospective customer called Autumn Scardina filed a complaint after Phillips declined to create a cake celebrating a gender transition, consistent with his beliefs about the immutability of sex. Phillips believes Scardina made other requests for custom baked goods, including cakes featuring dildos and images of the occult.

In turn, Phillips sued nine state officials, alleging a number of constitutional violations. His lawsuit argued the CCRC was enabling harassment of his business by pursuing complaints from possible bad faith actors. "We hope that the state is done going along with obvious efforts to harass Jack," said the Alliance Defending Freedom's (ADF) Jim Campbell, who represents Phillips. "He shouldn't be driven out of business just because some people disagree with his religious beliefs and his desire to live consistently with them." Though the state's case is now closed, the Colorado AG says Scardina can still file a lawsuit against Phillips. Both sides will pay their own attorney's fees. ADF said their case was strengthened when they found evidence that the CCRC failed to heed the Supreme Court's 2018 decision. Writing for the majority, Justice Anthony Kennedy condemned Commissioner Diann Rice for comparing Phillips's stated religious objections to defenses of slavery and the holocaust.

At a commission meeting shortly following the Court's decision, Commissioners Rita Lewis and Carol Fabrizio expressed support for Rice and her sentiments. ADF only recently became aware of those statements. Lewis and Fabrizio still sit on the Commission. The CCRC ratified the state's agreement with Masterpiece Cakeshop by unanimous vote Tuesday morning. One Colorado, an advocacy group for LGBT rights, noted the agreement does not affect enforcement of Colorado's public accommodations law. "Despite the mutual agreement between the State of Colorado and Masterpiece Cakeshop, the law is still the law. No matter who you are, who you love, or what you believe, Coloradans across our state - including LGBTQ Coloradans and their families - are still protected under Colorado law from discrimination in the areas of employment, housing, and public accommodations," said executive director Daniel Ramos.

BOB BARR: Open Clinton Impeachment Files to Prevent Kavanaugh Smears
July 13, 2018

SCOTUS nominee worked on investigation of former president with Kenneth Starr in the 1990s...

(Michael Barnes, Liberty Headlines) President Bill Clinton's 1998 impeachment may seem like old news, but it's about to be thrust back into the mainstream of American politics and media.
Brett Kavanaugh, President Donald Trump's recent pick to replace retiring U.S. Supreme Court "swing-vote" Justice Anthony Kennedy, participated in the investigation that led to Clinton's impeachment 20 years ago.

Kavanaugh worked as an attorney for Independent Special Counsel Kenneth Starr, who compiled the famous "Starr Report" that served as the basis for the House of Representatives to successfully impeach the 42ndpresident of the United States.
It was the first and only time an elected U.S. president has been impeached (Andrew Johnson was impeached, but never elected by American voters), although the Senate declined to convict President Clinton.

With Democrats hell-bent on stopping Kavanaugh and his likely rightward shifting of the high court, Senate Democrats who are tasked with confirming Trump's nominee are almost certain to attack him for his role in the Starr investigation - which many elder Democrats and liberal media members still harbor bitter resentments.

Kavanaugh could be their whipping-boy in an unfair fight over old grievances. But there's a twist. The Starr Report had two parts.

The first was the report itself, and the second part was boxes upon boxes of documentary evidence that the public report came from.
All of that information was sealed by a House Resolution and has never seen the light day.

Now, former congressman Bob Barr is calling for the sealed impeachment documents to be made public.
"In the coming confirmation maelstrom, it is a virtual certainty that Kavanaugh's detractors will claim evidence was manufactured, manipulated, and misapplied in order to secure the President's impeachment," Barr wrote in a Breitbart News editorial on Wednesday.

Barr would know. He was a House Republican from Georgia at the time, and is more than a little familiar with Clinton political tactics and character.

"Unless the evidence in the sealed files is made available to defend against such charges, Judge Kavanaugh and those defending his nomination will be at a severe disadvantage," Barr said.
"He may become the latest victim of a process of secrecy and caution that permitted a sexual predator and perjurer to escape justice two decades ago," he continued…

Unsealing the boxes of supporting impeachment evidence would open a treasure trove of new information that could substantiate actions taken by investigators and attorneys, like Kavanaugh, at the time.

"There simply is no reason for the Republican leadership not to unseal those files; and there is every good reason to do so. Now," said Barr.

Brett Kavanaugh Just Declared War on Roe v. Wade

On Thursday night, the Supreme Court blocked a stringent Louisiana abortion law by a 5-4 vote, with Chief Justice John Roberts joining the liberals to keep the measure on hold. Roberts' vote is surprising, but not a total shock: The Louisiana statute is a direct violation of the Supreme Court's 2016 ruling in Whole Woman's Health v. Hellerstedt, and until the court overturns that decision, the Louisiana law cannot take effect. To Roberts, this precedent matters. To Justice Brett Kavanaugh, it does not. Kavanaugh so disagreed with the majority that he wrote a dissent explaining why the Louisiana law should be allowed to move forward-an opinion that should not be taken as anything less than a declaration of war on Roe v. Wade.

The case, June Medical Services v. Gee, should be an easy one. It is a challenge to a Louisiana law that is nearly identical to the Texas statute invalidated in Whole Woman's Health. Louisiana, like Texas, compelled its abortion providers to obtain surgical privileges at a hospital within 30 miles of their clinics. These privileges are often difficult if not impossible to obtain-hospitals can, and do, deny them because they oppose abortion. More importantly, they provide absolutely no medical benefit to women, as the Supreme Court ruled in Whole Woman's Health. Because these measures impose a substantial burden on abortion providers (and their patients) while providing no benefit to women, the court found them to be unconstitutional.

Then, in 2018, Justice Anthony Kennedy, who cast the fifth vote in Whole Woman's Health, retired. He was replaced by Kavanaugh, who has a history of upholding abortion restrictions while claiming fidelity to Roe. In anticipation of Kavanaugh refusing to apply abortion precedents, the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals refused to enforce Whole Woman's Health. Instead, it asserted (falsely) that the Louisiana law does provide some benefit to women (it does not) and that it doesn't impose a serious burden. (It does: The law would likely shutter two of Louisiana's three abortion clinics.) Clearly, the conservative 5th Circuit thought it could overturn Whole Woman's Health on its own, and trust the Supreme Court to play along.

In the lead-up to this week's decision, Roberts' vote was an open question. I wrote last week that his "vote on this emergency appeal will reveal how aggressively the chief justice wants to attack abortion access-and whether he's willing to sacrifice the rule of law to nullify Roe as fast as possible." On Thursday, we got our answer. While the chief justice dissented from Whole Woman's Health, he does not seem disposed to let a lower court simply ignore it.

Kavanaugh feels quite differently. In his dissent, he focused on the fact that, according to the 5th Circuit, Louisiana's abortion providers did not try hard enough to obtain surgical privileges. That should not matter, because Whole Woman's Health says the requirement that doctors get privileges in order to perform abortions is unconstitutional, as it bestows no benefit onto patients. Kavanaugh, though, disregarded that conclusion and wrote that the doctors should work harder to get these pointless privileges.

The most astounding aspect of Kavanaugh's dissent is its credulous belief in Louisiana's ostensible benevolence toward abortion clinics. He noted that, if the law takes effect, "there will be a 45-day regulatory transition" before it is applied. He also says that Louisiana promised not to "move aggressively to enforce the challenged law" during this period. Kavanaugh accepted the state's pinky promise not to swiftly close the clinics-even though it has spent months fighting for the ability to do precisely that. At the end of 45 days, the justice wrote, if the doctors still can't obtain the privileges, they can go back to district court and start the fight anew.

This is classic Kavanaugh. On the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, Kavanaugh had a penchant for pretending to apply Roe while finding arbitrary reasons to uphold abortion restrictions. Kavanaugh let the Trump administration prevent an undocumented minor from terminating her pregnancy, on the laughable theory that she could find a sponsor who would remove her from government custody, where she could reassert control over her body. It was a pseudo-moderate procedural solution that had the effect of denying the undocumented minor abortion access altogether. Here, Kavanaugh made the same play, pretending like he'd found a reasonable middle ground that, in reality, serves to rubber-stamp unconstitutional abortion laws.

Changed Supreme Court weighing Louisiana abortion clinic law

WASHINGTON (AP) - The outcome of a fight over a Louisiana law regulating abortion providers could signal whether a fortified conservative majority on the Supreme Court is willing to cut back on abortion rights.

The high court is expected to decide in the next few days whether the state can begin enforcing a law requiring doctors who work at abortion clinics to have admitting privileges at a nearby hospital. It was passed in 2014, but has never taken effect.

The Supreme Court struck down a similar law in Texas three years ago. But the court's lineup has changed since then. Two appointees of President Donald Trump have joined the bench and Justice Anthony Kennedy has retired. Kennedy voted to strike down the Texas law.

The law was to have taken effect on Monday, but Justice Samuel Alito issued a brief order last week that pushed back the effective date at least to Thursday because, Alito said, the justices needed more time to consider an emergency appeal from Louisiana abortion providers. Alito handles those appeals from Louisiana.

The issue before the court is whether the law may be enforced even as appeals over its validity continue, so the impending vote may not be the justices' last word on the matter.

But it is expected to be a window on the court's views of abortion rights.

A vote to allow the law to take effect "will be a really good sign that the modified Court will not police states or lower courts' compliance with" the Texas decision or an earlier ruling in 1992 that reaffirmed a woman's right to an abortion that the court first announced in the Roe v. Wade decision in 1973, University of California, Irvine law professor Leah Litman wrote on the progressive Take Care blog.

Abortion opponents have been awaiting that signal since Trump's election, particularly after he promised during the 2016 campaign to appoint "pro-life justices." Justice Neil Gorsuch, Trump's first appointee, took the seat of the late Justice Antonin Scalia, who opposed abortion rights. The president's second pick, Justice Brett Kavanaugh, replaced Kennedy.

The current situation bears some resemblance to the court's shift on a particular abortion method that its opponents call partial-birth abortion.

In 2000, the Supreme Court struck down Nebraska's ban on the procedure by a 5-4 vote. Seven years later, the court upheld a federal partial-birth abortion ban by an identical vote. The makeup of the court had changed, with John Roberts replacing William Rehnquist as chief justice and, crucially, Alito taking Sandra Day O'Connor's place on the bench. O'Connor voted to strike down the state law; Alito voted to uphold the federal ban.

In the majority opinion that upheld the federal law, Kennedy wrote that the law did not impose an "undue burden" on a woman's right to an abortion, the standard laid out in the 1992 abortion-rights ruling, and that it was sufficiently different from the Nebraska law that had been struck down in 2000, even though neither law contained a provision allowing the method to be used if a doctor decided it was necessary to preserve the mother's health.

Rachel Morrison, litigation counsel for the anti-abortion group Americans United for Life, said the court also could find differences between Texas and Louisiana in the situations confronting women seeking abortions in the two states. The court's ruling invalidating the Texas law "does not mean that all admitting privileges laws are per se unconstitutional or that there is sufficient evidence that Louisiana's law will lead to the closure of a large number of abortion clinics in Louisiana," Morrison wrote on her group's website.

Differences in the two state laws were at the heart of last year's 2-1 ruling by the federal appeals court in New Orleans that upheld the Louisiana measure. The appeals court rejected a trial judge's conclusions at least one and possibly two of the state's three abortion clinics would have to close and, at most, two doctors would remain authorized to perform abortions in Louisiana.

In January, the full appeals court voted 9-6 not to get involved in the case, setting up the Supreme Court appeal.

The appellate ruling "brazenly ignored recent U.S. Supreme Court precedent squarely on point," said?Nancy Northup, head of the Center for Reproductive Rights. The group represents the clinics in court fight.

More alarming to abortion rights supporters is that high court action allowing the law to take effect could provide a road map to lower courts that are considering, or may soon weigh, other state efforts to restrict abortion.

Only 4 Supreme Court justices attend State of the Union

By David K. Li

January 30, 2018

Only four of the Supreme Court's nine justices showed up Tuesday night for President Trump's first State of the Union address.

Chief Justice John Roberts was joined by Justices Stephen Breyer, Elena Kagan and the newest member of the bench, Justice Neil Gorsuch.

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who had been seen nodding off at previous speeches, was scheduled to be in Rhode Island for a talk at a college, according to the Washington Examiner.

Justices Anthony Kennedy and Sonia Sotomayor were travelling, while Justice Samuel Alito hasn't gone since 2010, the paper said.

Supreme Court to hear biggest gun rights case since 2010

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The conservative-majority U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday took up its biggest gun rights case in nearly a decade, agreeing to hear a challenge backed by the influential National Rifle Association lobby group to New York City's strict limits on handgun owners transporting their firearms outside of the home. The nine justices will review a 2018 lower court ruling upholding the city's restrictions after three gun owners and the NRA's New York state affiliate sued claiming the regulations imposed in the largest American city violated the U.S. Constitution's Second Amendment right to "keep and bear arms."

The decision indicates a new interest regarding gun rights on the court, where conservatives hold a 5-4 majority. The Supreme Court had not taken up a major firearms case since issuing important rulings in 2008 and 2010 that established an individual right to own guns for self-defense inside the home. The court's conservative wing has been bolstered in the past two years by President Donald Trump's appointment of Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh. Kavanaugh last year replaced the retired conservative Justice Anthony Kennedy, who sometimes sided with the court's liberals on high-profile social issues.

The issue of gun rights is contentious in the United States, which has experienced a succession of mass shootings in recent decades and calls from many Americans for stricter regulation of firearms and ammunition. But, citing the Second Amendment, the NRA and gun rights activists have consistently resisted any major gun control measures. "The issue in the case seems small, but the implications could be tremendous," said Adam Winkler, a professor at the University of California Los Angeles School of Law. Although a ruling striking down the restrictions would not necessarily have broad impact, the court's majority could use the case to set a new precedent that makes it easier for gun rights activists to challenge other regulations, Winkler added.

The New York case concerned people who have licenses to possess guns at home, known as "premises" licenses, and already are allowed to take unloaded guns to shooting ranges within New York City. The plaintiffs said the city's rules forbidding them from taking their guns to ranges or other homes outside city limits amounted to a "draconian" transport ban in violation of the Second Amendment. Premises licenses are different from "carry" licenses, which give holders broader freedom to take guns outside the home and are not at issue in the case. The gun owners and the New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, an NRA affiliate, filed suit in 2013 challenging the transport limits in federal court in New York. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan last year rejected the constitutional challenge and said the restrictions advanced the city's interest in protecting public safety. The appeals court said the restrictions did not run afoul of the Supreme Court's 2008 ruling that found for the first time that the Second Amendment protected an individual's right to gun ownership under federal law, specifically to keep a handgun at home for self-defense. The high court in 2010 extended that right to state and local laws as well.

Since then, the justices had avoided taking up another major firearms case, despite gun rights proponents' repeated attempts to extend those rights to other types of weapons and the hotly contested question of to what extent that right applies outside the home. In recent years, the court has left in place assault-weapons bans in New York, Connecticut and Maryland, as well as laws over gun waiting periods and concealed-carrying permits in California. The case will be heard and decided in the court's next term, which starts in October and ends in June 2020.

After Anthony Kennedy announced he would retire from the Supreme Court effective July 31, 2018, President Trump stated he would choose Kennedy's replacement from the list of potential nominees he originally released in November 2017. Trump eventually chose Judge Brett Kavanaugh from this list as his nominee to succeed Kennedy on July 9, 2018, and he chose Judge Neil Gorsuch from this list as his nominee to succeed Antonin Scalia on the Supreme Court on January 31, 2017.

The November 2017 list was an updated version of one he released in September 2016, which in turn had been added to from an original one released in May 2016. Trump stated on May 18, 2016:[1]

Want someone like Amy Coney Barrett on the Supreme Court? Better hope GOP gets to 53 seats

Republicans need to win only 4 of the 16 competitive Senate races in order to keep control of the Senate, but if you're a conservative, particularly if you're a pro-lifer, you need a lot more than 50 GOP senators.

Here's why: Trump may not be able to appoint a pro-life judge to the Supreme Court with a slim majority, thanks to pro-choice GOP senators such as Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, and Susan Collins, R-Maine. Sure, Collins voted for Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation, but Kavanaugh was hand-picked by Justice Anthony Kennedy, who helped save most of Roe v. Wade.

If Trump tried to nominate the likes of federal Judge Amy Coney Barrett, he might not be able to get either of those two.

So pro-lifers need to get the GOP to at least 52 seats so that a nominee can get 50 without Murkowski or Collins. If Bob Hugin of New Jersey, who is not pro-life, is one of those 52, there still may be trouble. The Republican nominees in the other 16 competitive races are all pro-lifers.

So 53 GOP seats is probably enough to confirm any qualified nominee. That's important because it could open the door for conservative stalwart Justice Clarence Thomas to step aside in favor of a much younger conservative nominee. Barrett is 24 years younger than Thomas, and could assure a conservative majority on the court for longer.

Alternatively, it could allow for Trump to expand the conservative majority - and thus make overturning Roe more likely - if one of the liberal justices were to pass away or had to step down in the next two years.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) attacked Judge Amy Coney Barrett of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit on Monday, indicating that Democrats fear her appointment could be politically problematic.
Barrett is widely viewed as one of President Donald Trump's top picks for the U.S. Supreme Court seat vacated by the retirement of Justice Anthony Kennedy. Last week, Breitbart News reported that Trump is considering up to seven names, including Barrett, before his July 9 deadline. That list was thought to have been whittled down to four by Monday. Barrett was reported to have been among those four, who were reported to have been interviewed by the president.

TRUMP WHITE HOUSE REPORTEDLY ON R.B.G. DEATHWATCH
While the beloved Supreme Court justice recovers from a health scare, the president's allies are preparing for the worst.

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is recovering well from her recent lung surgery, according to a statement from the Supreme Court. But that hasn't stopped the Trump administration from preparing for the worst. A source familiar with the conversations told Politico that the White House has begun communicating with conservative activists and other allies in preparation for a confirmation fight if the liberal hero should depart the court, for whatever reason-"taking the temperature on possible short-list candidates, reaching out to key stakeholders, and just making sure that people are informed on the process." Given that Ginsburg is still very much alive-the 85-year-old justice's exercise routine is intense enough to exhaust grown men decades younger-and widely expected to return to work by the end of February, the White House is treading carefully. "They're doing it very quietly, of course, because the idea is not to be opportunistic, but just to be prepared so we aren't caught flat-footed," said the source.

Filling Supreme Court seats has been one of the few bright spots in Trump's clouded administration, though both of his appointments came with excessive controversy. Neil Gorsuch, who replaced the seat the Republicans kept empty after Antonin Scalia died in 2016, passed through the Senate after Mitch McConnell used the "nuclear option" and eliminated the 60-vote threshold to confirm a Supreme Court justice, allowing him to pass with a 54-45 vote. Brett Kavanaugh, who replaced Anthony Kennedy, barely squeezed by after a controversial accusation that he had sexually assaulted a woman when they were both teenagers. (Kavanaugh has denied sexually assaulting any women.)

But as John Malcolm of the Heritage Foundation told Politico, the intensity of those confirmations would pale in comparison to what Ginsburg's potential replacement could experience-particularly because that person could ideologically tilt the court for generations. "When Neil Gorsuch was the nominee, you were replacing a conservative with a conservative. With Kavanaugh, you were replacing the perennial swing voter, who more times than not sided with the so-called conservative wing, so that slightly solidified the conservative wing," he said. "But if you are replacing Justice Ginsburg with a Trump appointee, that would be akin to replacing Thurgood Marshall with Clarence Thomas . . . It would mark a large shift in the direction of the court."

Trump White House urging allies to prepare for possible RBG departure

After an ailing Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg missed oral arguments, the Trump team began early groundwork for another potential confirmation battle.

The White House is reaching out to political allies and conservative activist groups to prepare for an ailing Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's possible death or departure from the Supreme Court - an event that would trigger the second bitter confirmation battle of President Donald Trump's tenure.

The White House "is taking the temperature on possible short-list candidates, reaching out to key stakeholders, and just making sure that people are informed on the process," said a source familiar with those conversations, who spoke on background given the delicate nature of the subject. "They're doing it very quietly, of course, because the idea is not to be opportunistic, but just to be prepared so we aren't caught flat-footed."

The nine-member court is currently divided 5-4 between its conservative and liberal wings. Ginsburg's departure would allow Trump to create the Court's strongest conservative majority in decades, a scenario sure to bring intense opposition from Democrats and liberal activists still furious over the October confirmation of Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

"It would be a brutal confirmation," said John Malcolm, director of the Heritage Foundation's Meese Center for Legal and Judicial Studies. "The first two were not easy at all, but this would be much harder in this respect: When Neil Gorsuch was the nominee, you were replacing a conservative with a conservative. With Kavanaugh, you were replacing the perennial swing voter, who more times than not sided with the so-called conservative wing, so that slightly solidified the conservative wing."

"But if you are replacing Justice Ginsburg with a Trump appointee, that would be akin to replacing Thurgood Marshall with Clarence Thomas," Malcolm added. "It would mark a large shift in the direction of the court."

Though Ginsburg and the Court itself have been tight-lipped about her health, her absence from the bench this week has become a cause of concern because of her remarkable past attendance streak, which persisted through two previous cancer treatments and a number of other health scares. At the outset of oral arguments on Monday, Chief Justice John Roberts said she was "unable to be present" but would participate in the cases nonetheless, reading briefs, filings, and a transcript of the sessions.

Supreme Court appointments are indefinite, and a seat is considered empty only if a justice dies or retires from the court. In the event a judge is unable to perform his or her duties, the only clear recourse is Congressional impeachment.

Ginsburg told an audience in mid-December that she "will do this job as long as I can do it full steam." As a candidate in July 2016,
Trump tweeted that her "mind is shot - resign!" But after her surgery last month he wished her a "full and speedy recovery."

The White House counsel's office and senior aides on the Senate Judiciary Committee, now chaired by Sen. Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.), have begun drafting a shortlist of potential court nominees. It features judges the president has considered for previous vacancies along with some new names. Many of them are women, sources say.

They include Seventh Circuit judge Amy Coney Barrett, who was a leading contender for the last Supreme Court vacancy, created by Justice Anthony Kennedy; Sixth Circuit judges Joan Larsen, Amul Thapar, and Raymond Kethledge; Eleventh Circuit judge Britt Grant; and Third Circuit judge Thomas Hardiman; and Neomi Rao, Trump's current nominee for Kavanaugh's old seat on the D.C. Circuit Court.

"Outside of war and peace, of course, the most important decision you make is the selection of a Supreme Court judge, if you get it," Trump said last summer.

It's very obvious they will replace RBG with a woman so that the press can't accuse Trump for "trying to kick all women out from the supreme court" Amy Barrett is on their list once again and she will be their pick. Democrats can't use same tactics when it comes to women but they will use other character assassination tactics. No matter what they try, it really doesn't matter because patriots control the senate and she gets confirmed no matter what. Now we just have to wait for the news of RBG retiring or passing away. I had to cut some not so important parts out from the article as 8chan doesn't allow too long text walls.

The White House is urging outside allies to be prepared for another bruising confirmation battle should Ginsberg's health take a sudden turn for the worse, according to four sources with knowledge of the overtures. Outside groups, led by the Federalist Society and the Judicial Crisis Network, played a leading role in helping to confirm Kavanaugh and, before that, Justice Neil Gorsuch.

The groups have advised the Trump team on everything from potential nominees to political and media strategy, producing television advertisements and blitzing reporters with supportive messaging. Together, the conservative groups spent over $7 million on ads supporting Kavanaugh's nomination.

The White House has quietly pressed them not to rest on their laurels after Kavanaugh's nationally-divisive confirmation battle amid charges of sexual misconduct.

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Will Retire from the US Supreme Court in January, 2019

While the Nation is preoccupied with the appointment of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to replace Justice Anthony Kennedy, it appears there will soon be another vacancy on the US Supreme Court

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has had a re-occurrence of malignant melanoma, she has told her law clerks. Ginsburg was treated in 1999 for colon cancer and had surgery in 2009 for pancreatic cancer.

She has told key Democratic members of the Senate about her medical condition, including ranking Democratic member of the Judiciary Committee Dianne Feinstein. This explains in part the "take no prisoners" attitude of the Democrats during the Kavanaugh nomination, carefully orchestrating weak 37 year old allegations against Kavanaugh by Women he barely remembers knowing in High School and College.

Kavanaugh is a player in this drama. He's in the wrong place at the wrong time . President Donald J Trump will be replacing Notorious RBG, the lovechild of the left, and so will remake the Supreme Court for a generation. The Democrats simply must win back the Senate in November 2018, progressives feel.

Ginsburg, 85 was appointed by President Bill Clinton and took the oath of office on August 10, 1993. She is the second female justice (after Sandra Day O'Connor) of four to be confirmed to the court (along with Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan, who are still serving). Following O'Connor's retirement, and until Sotomayor joined the court, Ginsburg was the only female justice on the Supreme Court. During that time, Ginsburg became more forceful with her dissents, which were noted by legal observers and in popular culture. She is generally viewed as belonging to the liberal wing of the court. Ginsburg has authored notable majority opinions, including United States v. Virginia, Olmstead v. L.C., and Friends of the Earth, Inc. v. Laidlaw Environmental Services, Inc.

Ginsburg was born in Brooklyn, New York, to Russian Jewish immigrants. Her older sister died when she was a baby, and her mother, one of her biggest sources of encouragement, died shortly before Ginsburg graduated from high school. She then earned her bachelor's degree at Cornell University, and was a wife and mother before starting law school at Harvard, where she was one of the few women in her class. Ginsburg transferred to Columbia Law School, where she graduated tied for first in her class.

Following law school, Ginsburg turned to academia. She was a professor at Rutgers School of Law and Columbia Law School, teaching civil procedure as one of the few women in her field. Ginsburg spent a considerable part of her legal career as an advocate for the advancement of gender equality and women's rights, winning multiple victories arguing before the Supreme Court. She advocated as a volunteer lawyer for the American Civil Liberties Union and was a member of its board of directors and one of its general counsels in the 1970s. In 1980, President Jimmy Carter appointed her to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, where she served until her appointment to the Supreme Court.

Hillary Clinton Wants New York State to Legalize Abortions Up to Birth: "There's No Time to Wait"

Hillary Clinton is not on the campaign trail right now, but she still is using her influence to push legalized abortion up to birth.

On Sunday, she announced plans to help New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo push a radical pro-abortion bill in his state.

"I'll be joining Gov. Cuomo as he lays out his plan to codify Roe v. Wade and pass the Reproductive Health Act," Clinton wrote on Twitter. "There's no time to wait."

Cuomo made no secret of his plans to ram the pro-abortion bill through the state legislature. He said he wants to see it pass within 30 days.

Pro-abortion lawmakers in New York have been trying to pass the radical pro-abortion Reproductive Health Act for years. Already one of the most pro-abortion states in America, New York would be made even more pro-abortion if the legislation passes. The bill would allow abortions on viable, late-term unborn babies for any "health" reason and would keep abortion on demand legal in the state if the U.S. Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade.

The Times Union reports the bill would end a decades-old law that would criminalize late-term abortions if Roe is overturned and replace it with new language allowing abortion on demand. State Sen. Liz Krueger, D-Manhattan, is the sponsor.

"It would proclaim abortion as a fundamental right and impose an extreme abortion agenda on all New Yorkers," according to New York State Right to Life.

Here's more from the local news:

The legislation passed the Assembly but was blocked by the Senate Health Committee before it got to the floor for a vote last year.

With the retirement of Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy and the controversial appointment of conservative Justice Brett Kavanaugh, Democrats like Cuomo and Clinton fear the Supreme Court could repeal Roe v.

What's ahead for news, politics in 2019

Jan. 1 (UPI) – The dawn of 2019 ushers in a new Congress and a new year of government and politics.

Several events issues are expected to make headlines this year – from important cases before the Supreme Court to the emergence of Democrats to challenge President Donald Trump's office.

This year will test the new coalition of power in the U.S. Supreme Court, with President Trump's picks of Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh now aboard. Some court watchers will be looking to see if Chief Justice John Roberts positions himself as the new swing vote on the court, replacing retired justice Anthony Kennedy.

The court will hear arguments Feb. 19, where 17 states, seven cities and the U.S. Conference of Mayors challenge the Commerce Department's decision to add a question on citizenship to the 2020 Census.

There are also federal gerrymandering cases in nine states, including the battlegrounds of Michigan, Virginia, Ohio and Wisconsin.

Several abortion cases are also expected to move beyond U.S. district court to the high court.

Q Research General #5761: We Came Here For A Reason Edition

>>4517929

This isn't current info - this is about the process before a 2008 Supreme Court ruling. The prior system was called "Combatant Status Review Tribunal". I'd like to know more about how the process changed. But this is a good starting point, since many people may have heard of the process pre-2008 and it's important to know that it changed due to a SC ruling.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combatant_Status_Review_Tribunal

On June 12, 2008 the Supreme Court ruled in the case Boumediene v. Bush, 5-4, that Guantanamo captives were entitled to access the US justice system.[27][28][29][30]

Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote in the majority opinion:

The laws and Constitution are designed to survive, and remain in force, in extraordinary times.

The Court also ruled that the Combatant Status Review Tribunals were "inadequate".[27] Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, David Souter and John Paul Stevens joined Kennedy in the majority.

Chief Justice John Roberts, in the dissenting opinion, called the CSR Tribunals:[27]

… the most generous set of procedural protections ever afforded aliens detained by this country as enemy combatants.

Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas and Antonin Scalia joined Roberts in the dissent.[28]

BOOM! Justice Department probe into the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals non-random assignment of three Judge panels quickly points to Supreme Court Justice Eleana Kagan. Staffers are requesting immunity deals.

12:11 pm · 2 Dec 2018 · Twitter for Android

Court issues new circuit assignments

Thirteen days after Brett Kavanaugh was confirmed as the Supreme Court's newest associate justice, the court today issued a new set of circuit justice assignments, which take effect immediately. The new list was the second one in the past few months, replacing the assignment list issued after Justice Anthony Kennedy retired on July 31, leaving the court with only eight justices.

A circuit justice is primarily responsible for emergency requests (for example, an application to block an execution or allow it to go forward) from the geographic area covered by his or her circuit, as well as more mundane matters - for example, a request to extend the time to file a petition for review. However, justices can and often do refer significant emergency requests to the full court, as Justice Neil Gorsuch did earlier this month with a request by Native Americans in North Dakota to block the state from enforcing a law requiring voters to show an ID that includes a residential street address.


Lawyers who practice regularly before the court are often keenly interested in circuit justice assignments because the justices can have different policies on when they will grant extensions to file petitions for review: The late Justice Antonin Scalia, for example, virtually never granted them, while now-retired Justice John Paul Stevens would generally grant not just one but two 30-day extensions as long as they were timely filed.

In August, Chief Justice John Roberts had assumed responsibility for the 9th Circuit, which covers nine states (Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Oregon, Montana, Nevada and Washington) plus Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands. Justice Elena Kagan is now the circuit justice for the 9th Circuit; the 6th and 7th Circuits, for which Kagan had previously been responsible, are now covered by Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Brett Kavanaugh, respectively. All of the other circuit-justice assignments remain the same.

THE KAVANAUGH EFFECT: Groups Ask SCOTUS To Hear Case That Could Overturn Roe

A group of organizations have called on the Supreme Court to hear a case that could trigger the court to overturn the infamous Roe v. Wade case that legalized abortion.

The group comprised of the Southern Baptist Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, National Association of Evangelicals, Concerned Women for America, National Legal Foundation and Pacific Justice Institute, filed a brief on November 15 with the Court asking the justices to review an Indiana case which blocked enforcement of a law signed by then-Governor Mike Pence in 2016 that required doctors to inform their patients that abortions were not permitted because of the unborn baby's "race, color, national origin, ancestry, sex, or diagnosis or potential diagnosis of the fetus having Down syndrome or any other disability." The justices could decide to overturn Roe and the 1992 Planned Parenthood v. Casey opinion that reaffirmed Roe. Justice Anthony Kennedy, who was replaced by Justice Brett Kavanaugh, voted to side with Planned Parenthood in 1992.

After Pence signed the law, Planned Parenthood of Indiana and Kentucky challenged it; a federal judge permanently blocked the state from enforcing it, as the Baptist Press reports. In April 2018, a three-judge panel of the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago agreed with the federal judge. Judge William Bauer, writing for the court, noted that Roe recognized a right to privacy "broad enough to encompass a woman's decision whether or not to terminate her pregnancy," that "this right is not unqualified," and that it must be balanced "against important state interests in regulation."

Justice Anthony Kennedy, who was replaced by Justice Brett Kavanaugh, voted to side with Planned Parenthood in 1992.

After Pence signed the law, Planned Parenthood of Indiana and Kentucky challenged it; a federal judge permanently blocked the state from enforcing it, as the Baptist Press reports. In April 2018, a three-judge panel of the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago agreed with the federal judge. Judge William Bauer, writing for the court, noted that Roe recognized a right to privacy "broad enough to encompass a woman's decision whether or not to terminate her pregnancy," that "this right is not unqualified," and that it must be balanced "against important state interests in regulation." He added of the Indiana law:

The non-discrimination provisions clearly violate this well- established Supreme Court precedent, and are therefore, unconstitutional. The provisions prohibit abortions prior to viability if the abortion is sought for a particular purpose. These provisions are far greater than a substantial obstacle; they are absolute prohibitions on abortions prior to viability which the Supreme Court has clearly held cannot be imposed by the State.

The group asking the Court to hear the state of Indiana's appeal of the decision is also asking the Supreme Court to reconsider Roe because the scope of Roe was so wide, invalidating all state restrictions on abortion. That query would also affect the 1992 Planned Parenthood v. Casey opinion that reaffirmed Roe.

The brief before the Court argues that states have a "compelling interest" in prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sex, race and disability in abortions, and asks for a review of the Seventh Circuit decision because the Supreme Court has not yet addressed the issue. The brief states that the Seventh Circuit decided the Supreme Court's "abortion precedent, even though that precedent has never directly addressed the issue presented by the statute under review, holds that the abortion right overrides all others. That grievous error, which allows unborn children to be killed because of their sex or race or disability, should be corrected as soon as possible."

The brief also notes the Seventh Circuit's interpretation of the 14th Amendment, "which was passed in large part to stamp out racial discrimination, [being] in conflict with itself. It has ruled that the right to abort, which this Court has found springs implicitly from the [14th] Amendment, always trumps a right against racial discrimination which directly flows from it."

It is possible that the Supreme Court could side with the state of Indiana and decide the law is constitutional without touching Roe. Attorney Rick Claybrook, who wrote the brief, told the Baptist Press that the case offers the Supreme Court the opportunity to consider how "the abortion license" as adumbrated by the court and the "the very strong principles with respect to nondiscrimination on the basis of categories which are inherited, that one can't do anything about" cross paths. He added that although the justices could find for Indiana without touching Roe, they could also argue, "[T]his law seems to be in tension with other law, so what is causing the tension? Maybe an over-expansive view of the abortion license as [we] have interpreted it. (The court) could fix it by cutting back on Roe or Casey."

By November 1, 2018, only North Dakota had banned disability-based abortions; only Arizona, Arkansas, Kansas, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania and South Dakota had banned sex-selected abortions, according to the Guttmacher Institute. The Baptist Press notes, "A review published in 2012 reported an 85 percent rate of abortion after a Down syndrome diagnosis in hospital-based studies."

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Will Retire from the US Supreme Court in January, 2019
Speaking privately, a law clerk sasy the Justice's Cancer has come out of remission

While the Nation is preoccupied with the appointment of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to replace Justice Anthony Kennedy, it appears there will soon be another vacancy on the US Supreme Court

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has had a re-occurrence of malignant melanoma, she has told her law clerks. Ginsburg was treated in 1999 for colon cancer and had surgery in 2009 for pancreatic cancer.

She has told key Democratic members of the Senate about her medical condition, including ranking Democratic member of the Judiciary Committee Dianne Feinstein. This explains in part the "take no prisoners" attitude of the Democrats during the Kavanaugh nomination, carefully orchestrating weak 37 year old allegations against Kavanaugh by Women he barely remembers knowing in High School and College.

Kavanaugh is a player in this drama. He's in the wrong place at the wrong time . President Donald J Trump will be replacing Notorious RBG, the lovechild of the left, and so will remake the Supreme Court for a generation. The Democrats simply must win back the Senate in November 2018, progressives feel.

The Democrats simply must win back the Senate in November 2018, progressives feel.
Ginsburg, 85 was appointed by President Bill Clinton and took the oath of office on August 10, 1993. She is the second female justice (after Sandra Day O'Connor) of four to be confirmed to the court (along with Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan, who are still serving). Following O'Connor's retirement, and until Sotomayor joined the court, Ginsburg was the only female justice on the Supreme Court. During that time, Ginsburg became more forceful with her dissents, which were noted by legal observers and in popular culture. She is generally viewed as belonging to the liberal wing of the court. Ginsburg has authored notable majority opinions, including United States v. Virginia, Olmstead v. L.C., and Friends of the Earth, Inc. v. Laidlaw Environmental Services, Inc.
Ginsburg was born in Brooklyn, New York, to Russian Jewish immigrants. Her older sister died when she was a baby, and her mother, one of her biggest sources of encouragement, died shortly before Ginsburg graduated from high school. She then earned her bachelor's degree at Cornell University, and was a wife and mother before starting law school at Harvard, where she was one of the few women in her class. Ginsburg transferred to Columbia Law School, where she graduated tied for first in her class.
Following law school, Ginsburg turned to academia. She was a professor at Rutgers School of Law and Columbia Law School, teaching civil procedure as one of the few women in her field. Ginsburg spent a considerable part of her legal career as an advocate for the advancement of gender equality and women's rights, winning multiple victories arguing before the Supreme Court. She advocated as a volunteer lawyer for the American Civil Liberties Union and was a member of its board of directors and one of its general counsels in the 1970s. In 1980, President Jimmy Carter appointed her to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, where she served until her appointment to the Supreme Court.

The Democrats simply must win back the Senate in November 2018, progressives feel.

Ginsburg, 85 was appointed by President Bill Clinton and took the oath of office on August 10, 1993. She is the second female justice (after Sandra Day O'Connor) of four to be confirmed to the court (along with Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan, who are still serving). Following O'Connor's retirement, and until Sotomayor joined the court, Ginsburg was the only female justice on the Supreme Court. During that time, Ginsburg became more forceful with her dissents, which were noted by legal observers and in popular culture. She is generally viewed as belonging to the liberal wing of the court. Ginsburg has authored notable majority opinions, including United States v. Virginia, Olmstead v. L.C., and Friends of the Earth, Inc. v. Laidlaw Environmental Services, Inc.

Ginsburg was born in Brooklyn, New York, to Russian Jewish immigrants. Her older sister died when she was a baby, and her mother, one of her biggest sources of encouragement, died shortly before Ginsburg graduated from high school. She then earned her bachelor's degree at Cornell University, and was a wife and mother before starting law school at Harvard, where she was one of the few women in her class. Ginsburg transferred to Columbia Law School, where she graduated tied for first in her class.


Following law school, Ginsburg turned to academia. She was a professor at Rutgers School of Law and Columbia Law School, teaching civil procedure as one of the few women in her field. Ginsburg spent a considerable part of her legal career as an advocate for the advancement of gender equality and women's rights, winning multiple victories arguing before the Supreme Court. She advocated as a volunteer lawyer for the American Civil Liberties Union and was a member of its board of directors and one of its general counsels in the 1970s. In 1980, President Jimmy Carter appointed her to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, where she served until her appointment to the Supreme Court.

Most Americans know they can speak their mind in the public square, thanks to the First Amendment. Speech on social media, however, can be censored because private companies own those cyber spaces.

But a recent Supreme Court oral argument suggests Twitter's practice of banning controversial right-wing pundits could be deemed illegal.

During a Feb. 27 hearing involving the constitutionality of a state social media law, Justice Anthony Kennedy said that Twitter and Facebook had become, and even surpassed, the public square as a place for discussion and debate.

"Their utility and the extent of their coverage are greater than the communication you could have ever had, even in the paradigm of public square," he said while hearing arguments in Packingham v. North Carolina.

A majority of justices agreed. "The president now uses Twitter ... everybody uses Twitter," observed Justice Elena Kagan. "All 50 governors, all 100 senators, every member of the House has a Twitter account. So this has become a ... crucially important channel of political communication."

Poll: Majority Believe Trump Doing 'Good Job' Keeping Promises After Kavanaugh Confirmation


A majority of Americans believe President Donald Trump is doing a "good job" keeping his campaign promises in a poll released days after Brett Kavanaugh was sworn in to replace retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy on the Supreme Court.

According to a CNN poll released on Thursday afternoon, 52% of those surveyed believe Trump is doing a "good job" keeping his 2016 campaign promises compared to 42% who believe he is doing a "poor job." Another six percent had "no opinion."

Trump fulfilled one of his most important campaign promises by appointing conservative Justices Neil Gorsuch and Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. The president also promised to right America's terrible trade deals in 2016. And after Trump negotiated the new USMCA trade agreement, 43% now approve of how Trump is handling trade, an improvement of eight percentage points from last month.

In addition, 51% of Americans approve of Trump's handling of the economy while 53% believe the country is doing "very well" or "fairly well."

During his campaign speeches this week, Trump emphasized that under his administration, "the era of economic surrender is over."

"After years of rebuilding other nations, we are finally rebuilding our nation," Trump said.

One of Trump's major 2020 reelection slogans will be "promises made, promises kept."

The poll was conducted October 4-7 and has a margin of error of +/- 3.8 percentage points.

Speaking at a ceremonial swearing-in ceremony for Associate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh in the East Room of the White House Monday evening, President Trump apologized to Kavanaugh and his family "on behalf of the nation" for the "campaign of political and personal destruction" he endured during his confirmation process, saying it violated "every notion of fairness, decency, and due process."

In His First Day On The Job, Kavanaugh Hired As Many Black Law Clerks As RBG Has In Her Entire Tenure

Justice Brett Kavanaugh has hired a black law clerk for his new chambers at the U.S. Supreme Court, matching Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's record of African-American clerkship hiring during her tenure on the nation's highest judicial tribunal.

With his first clerkship hires, Kavanaugh also set a gender composition record, an apparent attempt to buck the high court's hiring patterns, which tend to favor white, male graduates of elite law schools.

Since joining the high court in 1993, Ginsburg has hired over 100 law clerks, just one of whom is black.

Ginsburg's hiring practices have been criticized for decades. During her 1993 confirmation hearings, GOP Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah asked Ginsburg if a court might reasonably conclude that a small business in a majority black city that hired 57 white employees and zero black employees over a period of years was discriminatory. Ginsburg dodged, before Hatch pointed out that was in fact her own record of clerkship hiring in her 13 years on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.

"I will try harder, and if you confirm me for this job my attractiveness to black candidates is going to improve," Ginsburg replied, to much laughter throughout the hearing chamber.

Kavanaugh's new clerks are Shannon Grammel, Megan Lacy, Sara Nommensen and Kim Jackson. These hires set a record in a second respect: Kavanaugh is the first Supreme Court justice to hire an all female class of clerks.

A 2017 study published in the National Law Journal found that 85 percent of all Supreme Court clerks between 2005 and 2017 were white, and approximately two-thirds were male.

Just hours after the Senate narrowly confirmed the new justice, Kavanaugh was sworn in Saturday by Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Anthony Kennedy in a private, intimate ceremony at the court. He quietly began work on Sunday, taking over a suite of offices formerly occupied by Justice Samuel Alito.

Justice Elena Kagan: Legitimacy Of The Supreme Court Is Now At Risk

Associate Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan said that the highest court in the land risks losing legitimacy without a centrist swing-vote, reports Bloomberg. In Friday comments made just hours after the US Senate cleared the way for USSC nominee Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation, Kagan said that the court benefitted from having centrist Justices Sandra Day O'Connor and Anthony Kennedy over the past 30-plus years. The presence of O'Connor and Kennedy "enabled the court to look as though it was not owned by one side or another and was indeed impartial and neutral and fair," Kagan said to an audience at Princeton University. "And it's not so clear that, you know, I think going forward that sort of middle position – you know, it's not so clear whether we'll have it."She added: "All of us need to be aware of that, every single one of us and to realize how precious the court's legitimacy is." -Bloomberg

Of course, accusing a Supreme Court nominee of orchestrating a high school gang-rape scheme with zero evidence may also wear on the court's legitimacy, but we digress. Kavanaugh's ascension to the USSC will give the court a five-justice conservative bloc, led by Chief Justice John Roberts who will set the pace for how quickly the court will move on various matters. Without mentioning Kavanaugh by name, Kagan appeared with fellow Obama-appointed Justice Sonia Sotomayor - both Princeton graduates - where they sought to distance themselves from the political circus that has dominated Washington over Kavanaugh's nomination. "We have to rise above partisanship in our personal relationships," Sotomayor said. "We have to treat each other with respect and dignity and with a sense of amicability that the rest of the world doesn't often share." Kagan expanded on that, saying: "This is a really divided time, and part of the court's strength and part of the court's legitimacy depends on people not seeing the court in the way that people see the rest of the governing structures of this country." "We live in this world where it's just the nine of us," Kagan added. "We are the consummate repeat players." Yes, we're sure Kavanaugh won't hold a grudge after his entire life's work was reduced to unfounded and refuted claims of sexual assault 36 years ago.

Susan Collins swings back at Planned Parenthood over Supreme Court double-standard.

Sen. Susan Collins, Maine Republican, accused Planned Parenthood of a Supreme Court double-standard Sunday, arguing that the organization has never supported a pro-choice justice nominated by a Republican president.

The pro-choice Republican swung back after the abortion provider turned on her for voting Saturday to confirm Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh, saying she had "sided with those who disbelieved, disrespected, and even mocked survivors."

"First of all, I have never disregarded, disrespected or mocked survivors. That is just plain untrue," said Ms. Collins on CNN's "State of the Union."

She pointed to Planned Parenthood's opposition to Justices Sandra Day O'Connor and Anthony Kennedy, who were nominated by President Ronald Reagan, and Justice David Souter, who was nominated by President George H.W. Bush.

"I would note that Planned Parenthood opposed three pro-choice justices just because they were nominated by Republican presidents: David Souter, Sandra Day O'Connor and Justice Kennedy," said Ms. Collins. "They said the same thing, women will die. This is just outrageous."

Rush Limbaugh: Democrats Are Freaking Out because Far Left Agenda Has Been Forced On America By The Courts

The left is absolutely terrified by the idea of a Supreme Court and there's a good reason for that.
Democrats have relied on the courts to do the things they can't get done in Congress. That's the point Rush Limbaugh recently made on his show and he's right.

The Washington Free Beacon reports:

Limbaugh: 80 Percent of the Liberal Agenda Has Been Forced on Us From the Courts

Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh said on Thursday that 80 percent of the "liberal agenda" has been "forced" on Americans from the courts.

"Eighty percent, if not more, of the liberal agenda that is governing the culture of this country has not passed in our Congress or legislatures," Limbaugh said. "Eighty percent of the destructive pop culture impulses of the American left have been forced on us by courts, and that is why all of this, among many other reasons, is so crucial that the Democrat Party."

Limbaugh's comments come amid the contentions fight over the Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh's nomination to the highest court. If confirmed, Kavanaugh could cement the court to a more conservative majority. Kavanaugh would replace retired Justice Anthony Kennedy, who was a swing vote on the court. On some of the biggest cases, Kennedy sided with the liberal justices when it came to social issues like gay marriage.

Limbaugh added that former President Barack Obama got much of his agenda through executive action.

Democrat Supreme Court Drinkers?: Breyer Busted for Underage Drinking, Ginsburg 'Not 100 Percent Sober' at Obama State of the Union

While Democrats and the media are dragging Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh for his admitted drinking "too much" at times in school, it should be remembered that two Justices appointed by Democrat President Bill Clinton and approved by a Democrat controlled Senate, Stephen Breyer (1994) and Ruth Bader Ginsburg (1993) have their own history of alcohol troubles.

Justice Ginsburg, with Justice Breyer to her immediate left, 'fell asleep' after drinking wine before President Obama's 2015 State of the Union address.

Justice Breyer, 80, was arrested for underage drinking when he went to Stanford in the 1950s reported the Washington Post back in 1994:

"At Stanford, he had his share of high jinks, getting arrested at one point for underage drinking. But after four years, he had received just one B, which left him, in the words of a classmate, "distraught.""

Breyer spoke about the arrest to NPR in 2015

Transcript via the blog ieyenews.com:

"We were in a restaurant, which was where they used to sing opera and serve wine. It was called the Bocce Ball, I think. It was very nice. You'd go there, and I think I was 18-I was 18-but the drinking age was 21 and they'd give you a glass of wine and you'd sit there and listen to the opera singers from the San Francisco Opera and have a glass of wine. There was sawdust on the floor. It was very nice, it was a lovely place. ... The police apparently raided this opera restaurant and arrested everybody in sight who looked under 21 and there we are, but they didn't proceed with it further and they sort of wiped out the arrest record."

Breyer's Wikipedia page has no mention of his arrest for underage drinking.



Justice Ginsburg, 85, spoke about 'falling asleep' at the State of the Union address by President Barack Obama in 2015 after drinking wine at dinner, brought by Justice Anthony Kennedy (!), in a joint appearance with Justice Antonin Scalia that was 'hosted by The Smithsonian Associates and moderated by NPR's Nina Totenberg' according to CNN.


Finally they got to the State of the Union. Earlier in the evening, Scalia had expressed his disdain for the event that he stopped attending years ago. And Ginsburg admitted, that once again, she fell asleep, "as I often do."
"The audience for the most part is awake because they are bobbing up and down and we sit there, stone faced," she said. "But we're not, at least I was not 100% sober," she said to big applause. She blamed a fine wine Justice Kennedy had brought to dinner before hand.
"I vowed this year - just sparkling water-stay away from the wine - but the dinner was so delicious it needed wine."
She said when she got home she got a call from one of her granddaughters. "She said, BUBIE, you were sleeping!"

RBG called Trump "Faker".

"He is a faker," she said of the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, going point by point, as if presenting a legal brief. "He has no consistency about him. He says whatever comes into his head at the moment. He really has an ego. … How has he gotten away with not turning over his tax returns? The press seems to be very gentle with him on that."

[Political preference of RGB, Hillary.]
Acknowledging her own age and that Justices Anthony Kennedy and Stephen Breyer will turn 80 and 78, respectively, Ginsburg said of the possible next president: "She is bound to have a few appointments (to the Supreme Court) in her term."


Trump on the propriety of a Supreme commenting on the election process.

"It seems to me that it is totally inappropriate for a member of the Supreme Court to be weighing in on an American election," he said in a statement. "It raises the level of skepticism that the American people have from time to time about just how objective the Supreme Court is."

Ford Lawyer Rejects One Week Cap on Kavanaugh FBI Query

Christine Braley Ford is already pushing for removal of the one-week time limit senators agreed to Friday on a new FBI investigation of her allegation that Judge Brett Kavanaugh sexually molested her 36 years ago at a high school party.

Ford "welcomes this step in the process," her attorney, Debra Katz, said in a statement. Katz added that Ford "no artificial limits as to time or scope should be imposed on this investigation."

If Ford refuses to change her position, it could blow up an informal deal worked out between Republicans and Democrats on the Senate Committee on the Judiciary that allowed the Kavanaugh nomination to go forward while also allowing further investigation by the FBI of his background.

Earlier Friday, Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) said he would vote to forward Kavanaugh's nomination by President Donald Trump to succeed the retired Justice Anthony Kennedy on the Supreme Court if the final vote in the upper chamber is delayed one week for the new FBI review.

14. I think you get the point; the reason they oppose Kavanaugh is so much deeper than a left vs right issue….they know what's at stake. This is the last stand of the deep state. This is why these monsters cannot win, no matter what. END #qanon #wwg1wga
15. Someone asked me why the Supreme Court is relevant as relates to military tribunals. Once charged with treason and prosecution begins in the tribunal, the accused will file a writ of Habeus Corpus requesting the court make a determination that the accused's imprisonment is…
16…unlawful and request the Court order the release of the accused. However, because a national security issue is at stake and @potus is operating under war time emergency since 9/11/01, An enemy combatant fighting against the US doesn't have the right to petition for…
17…Habeas Corpus…@potus needs Kavanaugh to uphold his right to deny Habeus Corpus to the deep state who are citizens but enemy combatants. If Kennedy was still on Supreme Court, he would rule against @potus on this issue and rule with the 4 liberal members on the court…
18…and then these deep state citizens would have the ability to have their case heard in federal Us criminal court instead of military tribunal. Of course many of the judges in US court system are subject to bribes and corruption and the process would take years as they would..
19…be afforded certain constitutional protections not available in military tribunal. This is why @potus needs Kavanaugh. He needs him to uphold @potus right to prosecute the deep state in military tribunals and to hold them at Gitmo. END
20. The purpose of my thread was not to discuss the legal basis of the military tribunals as I already did this in other threads but it keeps coming up. Yes @potus has complete constitutional authority to establish military tribunals and prosecute deep state enemy combatants…
21…who happen to be citizens in the military tribunals with or without the blessing of the Supreme Court. However, the point of appointing Kavanaugh is to prevent 4 leftist justices and 1 compromised justice (Anthony Kennedy) from creating a constitutional crisis by ruling…
22…that @potus cannot prosecute deep state citizens in military tribunals. Kennedy would've decided alongside the leftist justices and @potus would've been forced to go against the Supreme Court which would give the cabal ammo to say @potus is ignoring the ruling of the court.
23…this is not how @potus works. He is making sure a constitutionalist Kirk Kavanaugh is appointed before he moves forward with military tribunals because he knows kavanaugh and the 4 other conservatives on the court will support the traditional interpretation of the…
24…constitution and approve of the presidents decision to conduct military tribunals. @potus has the constitional right to do this regardless of how the supremes rule but he wants to have as much public support as possible and having 5 rogue justices finding his decision…
25…unconstitutional would defeat the purpose of what he's doing. Having kavanaugh on the court is therefore extremely important. He does not want to give the left even an apparent legal basis to challenge these tribunals.

No Name Supported Kavanaugh for SCOTUS

July 09 2018

Washington, D.C. - U.S. Senator John McCain (R-AZ) released the following statement today on the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court of the United States:

"I want to thank Justice Anthony Kennedy for his distinguished service on the United States Supreme Court. Throughout his tenure, Justice Kennedy delivered consequential rulings on some of history's most important issues, and his imprint on the nation's highest court will remain for many years to come.

"In selecting Judge Brett Kavanaugh to fill the vacancy left by Justice Kennedy, President Trump has chosen a nominee with impeccable credentials and a strong record of upholding the Constitution. Over the course of Judge Kavanaugh's impressive legal career, he has built a reputation as a fair, independent, and mainstream judge who has earned widespread respect from his peers. One of the Senate's highest constitutional responsibilities is to provide advice and consent on nominations to the Supreme Court, and I look forward to the Senate fulfilling this critical duty through a fair and thorough confirmation process."

Updated 12:33 PM ET, Tue October 2, 2012


https://www.cnn.com/2012/09/30/politics/court-romney-list/index.html

Judge Brett Kavanaugh, U.S. Court of Appeals, D.C. Circuit
Born 1965. Began his job May 2006 in a court that has seen several of its former members make the jump to the Supreme Court. A former top official in the George W. Bush White House. His nomination to a federal appeals court for the D.C. circuit was held up for three years by Democrats. Senators Patrick Leahy and Richard Durbin later accused Kavanaugh of misleading the Judiciary Committee during his confirmation over whether he helped formulate policy on the detention and questioning of accused terrorists held overseas by the U.S. military. He is relatively young and considered one of the brightest conservative legal minds. He co-authored the Starr Report investigation of President Bill Clinton and clerked for Justice Anthony Kennedy and conservative appeals court Judge Alex Kozinski.

Now they're just trying to delay the inevitable. We're watching the show play out now as they scream like banshees and flail about trying to make a big scene and spit poison in every direction (on camera and social media in particular) to create enough noise to force another response from the Republicans, who seem too afraid of political optics to actually grow a spine. I pray that Grassley's plan includes finally standing up to them to stop allowing them to call the shots.

>I like the premise, but don't understand.
>If already confirmed, what is timeline to seat her?

Federal judicial service
On May 8, 2017, President Donald Trump nominated Barrett to serve as a United States Circuit Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, to the seat vacated by Judge John Daniel Tinder, who took senior status on February 18, 2015.[14][15] President Barack Obama's nominee for the vacancy, Myra Selby, was blocked by the Senate due to the opposition of Senator Dan Coats (Republican of Indiana).[16] A hearing on her nomination before the Senate Judiciary Committee was held on September 6, 2017.[17]

During Barrett's hearing, U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein questioned Barrett about whether her Catholic faith would influence her decision-making on the court. Feinstein, concerned about whether Barrett would uphold Roe v. Wade given her Catholic beliefs, followed Barrett's response by stating "the dogma lives loudly within you, and that is a concern".[18][19][13][20] Senator Dick Durbin asked "Do you consider yourself an orthodox Catholic?" He was criticized by the editorial board at his alma mater, Georgetown, a Catholic university, for his requesting a clarification of Barrett, regarding her self-descriptive terminology, "orthodox Catholic." He contended her definition might unfairly characterize Catholics who may not agree with the church's positions about abortion or the death penalty. She responded, "litigants and the general public are entitled to impartial justice, and that may be something that a judge who is heedful of ecclesiastical pronouncements cannot dispense." Barrett further opined that judges aren't bound by precedent conflicting with the Constitution.[21] The subject of Feinstein and other Democrats' concern was a 1998 article by Barrett where she wrote that judges could recuse themselves from hearing matters if their faith conflicted with issues to be decided in cases they might otherwise hear.[16] An article in the conservative National Review asserted, "Senators must inquire about these issues when considering lifetime appointments because ensuring impartiality and fidelity to precedent are critical for the rule of law."[18][22][13] Feinstein's line of questioning was criticized by some observers and legal experts[23][24] while defended by others.[25] The issue prompted questions regarding the application of Article VI, Section 3 of the Constitution which mandates: "No religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States."[26][21][23][24][25] During her hearing, Barrett said: "It is never appropriate for a judge to impose that judge's personal convictions, whether they arise from faith or anywhere else, on the law."[23]

On October 5, 2017, the Senate Judiciary Committee voted on a party-line basis of 11-9 to recommend Barrett and report her nomination to the full Senate.[27][28] On October 30, 2017, the Senate invoked cloture by a vote of 54-42.[29] The Senate confirmed her with a vote of 55-43 on October 31, 2017, with three Democrats - Joe Donnelly, Tim Kaine, and Joe Manchin - voting for her.[6] She received her commission on November 2, 2017.[2]

Barrett had been included on President Donald Trump's list of potential Supreme Court nominees since 2017. In July 2018, following the retirement announcement of Anthony Kennedy, she was considered as a possible successor,[11][30] though Trump nominated Judge Brett Kavanaugh for the position[31] Barrett could be considered to fill future Supreme Court vacancies.[32]

"BakerHostetler Partner Carl Hittinger and Associate Tyson Herrold authored an article published Aug. 24, 2018, by The Legal Intelligencer. The article, "Is Judge Kavanaugh a Fan of Antitrust Laws? Let's Take a Look," examines the limited antitrust jurisprudence record of U.S. Court of Appeals Judge Brett Kavanaugh, who has been nominated to replace Justice Anthony Kennedy on the U.S. Supreme Court. Hittinger and Herrold examine two Kavanaugh dissenting opinions in antitrust cases and note that other judges on the D.C. Circuit have strongly criticized him for his naivety on antitrust issues and his seeming disregard for stare decisis and the rule of law that may indicate a willingness to take issue with other Supreme Court precedent. They also point out that Kavanaugh's dissents illustrate his view that the antitrust laws are designed to promote consumer welfare and business efficiency at the expense of competition when those two goals are at odds, which is reminiscent of onetime Supreme Court nominee Judge Robert Bork's controversial thinking."

'Fox & Friends' Trashes Trump's Supreme Court Pick: 'The Swamp Wanted Judge Kavanaugh'

"I am disappointed in the president because this is not the type of person he said he would pick," says Fox News legal guru, Judge Andrew Napolitano.

While Fox News opinion hosts gushed about President Donald Trump's decision to nominate Brett Kavanaugh to replace Anthony Kennedy on the U.S. Supreme Court, the set of "Fox & Friends" was a bit cooler on the idea.

On set, Fox News legal guru Judge Andrew Napolitano laced into Kavanaugh, saying he was "disappointed" in the selection.

"The Washington establishment, sometimes known as the swamp, wanted Judge Kavanaugh," said Napolitano. "I am disappointed in the president because this is not the type of person he said he would pick. Justice [Neil] Gorsuch was. This person is at the heart and soul of the D.C. establishment against whom the president railed."

"So you're saying it's a swamp pick?!" asked co-host Pete Hegseth.

"Yes!" said Napolitano.

Q Research General #3670: Unnerving His Detractors Edition

In July 2007, Democratic Senators Patrick Leahy and Dick Durbin accused Kavanaugh of "misleading" the Senate Judiciary Committee during his nomination. Durbin and Leahy accused Kavanaugh of lying to them in his confirmation hearing when he denied being involved in formulating the Bush administration's detention and interrogation policies in the aftermath of the September 11 terrorist attacks. In 2002, Kavanaugh had met with other White House lawyers, and talked about whether or not the Supreme Court would approve of denying lawyers to prisoners detained as enemy combatants. Kavanaugh had previously been a law clerk for Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy, and predicted in that meeting that Kennedy would not approve of denying legal counsel to those prisoners.[40] Durbin said, "It appears that you misled me, the Senate Judiciary Committee and the nation." [41] This issue re-emerged in July 2018, as Kavanaugh was under consideration for a nomination to the Supreme Court[42], which Kavanaugh received.

A Remarkable Career in Photos: Judge Kavanaugh to Testify Before the Senate

September 4, 2018

The judge's job is to interpret the law, not to make the law or make policy. So read the words of the statute as written. Read the text of the Constitution as written, mindful of history and tradition.

Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh

Today, President Donald J. Trump's nominee to replace retired Justice Anthony Kennedy on the U.S. Supreme Court begins several days of confirmation hearings before the Senate. Judge Brett Kavanaugh, who USA Today says "may be the most qualified Supreme Court nominee in generations," will testify as support for his nomination grows from a broad, diverse pool of lawmakers, former students, and colleagues in the legal profession.

Most crucially, Senators are signaling that Judge Kavanaugh is the type of mainstream, experienced judge needed to steady the Supreme Court in a time of growing judicial activism. Senators from both parties told the White House they wanted to see a real judge nominated with outstanding credentials-one who will respect precedent. Judge Kavanaugh is all of that and more.

The Judge's record largely speaks for itself. He has served for more than a decade on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit-referred to as the "Second Highest Court in the Land." He has authored over 300 judicial opinions, 13 of which have been affirmed by the Supreme Court. After graduating with honors from Yale College in 1987, Judge Kavanaugh graduated from Yale Law School in 1990, where he was a Notes Editor on the Yale Law Journal. He went on to clerk for Justice Kennedy on the Supreme Court, as well as two federal Circuit Court judges.

Alongside his long career of public service, he is a father, a mentor in local schools, a church volunteer, and a youth basketball coach.

As Judge Kavanaugh heads to the U.S. Capitol, he prepares for a busy week in what has been among the most transparent, thorough nomination processes in history. President Trump made his selection from a public list of 25 of the top-rated legal minds in our country, last updated in November 2017 after the confirmation of Neil Gorsuch to the High Court.

Here is what to expect as Judge Kavanaugh testifies this week:

Tuesday, September 4: Introductions and remarks from the Senate Judiciary Committee's 21 members, and an opening statement from Judge Kavanaugh
Wednesday, September 5: Senators, alternating by party and in order of seniority, will ask Judge Kavanaugh about his record, experience, and judicial philosophy
Thursday, September 6 and Friday, September 7: Once questions for the nominee have concluded, Senators will hear testimony from outside witnesses

"Judge Kavanaugh is one of the most qualified Supreme Court nominees to come before the Senate," Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) says. "He is a superb mainstream candidate."

The Supreme Court's "unanimous" decision in the gerrymandering case, Gill v. Whitford, is one of the most cowardly pieces of legal writing emanating from the Roberts Court. Instead of deciding anything of import, the Supreme Court punted the case on standing. On a bad interpretation of standing actually because Anthony Kennedy could not bring himself to piss off Republicans while he was busy engineering his replacement.

Q Research General #3436: We Are Enjoying The Show Edition

WASHINGTON (AP) - Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh first crossed paths over plates of beef stroganoff, shepherd's pie and chicken cubes in a thick, yellow sauce. They weren't business meals. They shared lunch period at their elite private high school.

Now, the two may dine together for decades, this time at the Supreme Court. If Kavanaugh is confirmed following hearings in September, he will join his fellow Trump nominee at the high court, where tradition is that justices lunch together on days when they hear arguments.

Gorsuch and Kavanaugh's bonds go well beyond a common conservative ideology and their days at the all-boys Georgetown Preparatory School, just 11 miles (18 kilometers) from the Supreme Court's marble halls. They clerked together at the Supreme Court, became federal appeals court judges the same year, served together on a judicial committee and co-wrote, along with several others, a book about precedent.

When Gorsuch was sworn in last year, Kavanaugh attended a ceremony for him at the Supreme Court. Kavanaugh has said they're friends, noting they've known each other "seemingly forever."

The pair wouldn't be the first friends to serve together on the Supreme Court. Sometimes those friendships have flourished. Other times, after working together, friends have had fallings-out.

Clare Cushman, the editor of a book of biographies of justices, pointed to several Supreme Court friendships. John Marshall, the court's fourth chief justice, and Bushrod Washington, a nephew of George Washington, studied law under the same man. Sandra Day O'Connor, the court's first female justice, and William Rehnquist dated in law school. Antonin Scalia and Ruth Bader Ginsburg were, in Ginsburg's words, "best buddies" from their years together as appeals court judges in Washington. As colleagues, they attended operas together and had holiday meals together. One picture of them traveling shows them riding an elephant together and waving.

Not all friendships between justices have fared so well. William O. Douglas and Felix Frankfurter were friendly as law professors but became enemies on the court, Cushman said. Warren Burger and Harry Blackmun were childhood friends growing up in St. Paul, and Blackmun served as best man at Burger's wedding. Labeled the "Minnesota twins" early in their time on the court, they grew apart as their votes diverged.

Kavanaugh and Gorsuch seem to be starting out in a good place.

"He is a good friend. He is kind, funny, hardworking and brilliant," Kavanaugh said of Gorsuch in 2017, in a speech just days after Gorsuch's nomination. "With his smarts, his character, and his understanding of life and law, I firmly believe he will be one of the great justices in Supreme Court history, like a Jackson or a Scalia. Watching him the other night, I felt immensely and overwhelmingly proud of him," adding he was also proud of Georgetown Preparatory School, the Jesuit high school outside Washington where they met.

Kavanaugh was a junior when Gorsuch arrived at the school as a freshman. Although they shared a lunch period that year, they didn't run in the same circles. Gorsuch was a boarding student. Kavanaugh was not. Kavanaugh played football and basketball and wrote for the student newspaper. Gorsuch was in student government and the forensics and international relations clubs.

Still, classmates said the school was small enough that Gorsuch and Kavanaugh would have known each other. And because big games tended to bring out the entire school, Gorsuch would have cheered on varsity athlete Kavanaugh in basketball and particularly football, especially against major rivals Landon and Gonzaga, classmates said.

"I guarantee you it happened," said Don Urgo, a longtime friend of Kavanaugh's who, like the judge, played defensive back and wide receiver. Kavanaugh was No. 23, Urgo No. 24.

Kavanaugh and Gorsuch parted ways for college, Gorsuch attending Columbia and then Harvard Law School and Kavanaugh attending Yale for both undergraduate and law school. In 1993, though, they both again wound up at the same place: as clerks at the Supreme Court.

Kavanaugh was one of four clerks to Justice Anthony Kennedy, whom he would replace. Gorsuch was clerking for retired Justice Byron White. But because White was retired, Gorsuch was also assigned to Kennedy's chambers as a "step-clerk," helping in the work of the chambers.(Cont)………

The man who attended Trump's rally in Tampa, Florida, on Tuesday said he changed his mind about the president because of Trump's work on tax reform and his two Supreme Court picks to replace the late Justice Antonin Scalia and retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy.

"I was worried he wouldn't be a good Republican and, honestly, he's changed my mind a lot," he told Fox News. "The best thing he's done in my opinion is the tax cuts and the Supreme Court pick, and if he keeps doing a good job, I will - so I didn't vote for anybody in this very last election, but this time around I probably will vote for him," he added.

After the Trump administration passed the tax cut legislation in 2017, hundreds of companies gave their employees up to $2,000 in bonuses-even though House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) called those bonuses "crumbs."

Ginsberg says she has at least 5 more years on Supreme Court

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Sunday said she hopes to remain on the high court for at least five more years, according to CNN.
"My senior colleague, Justice John Paul Stevens, he stepped down when he was 90, so think I have about at least five more years," 85-year-old Ginsburg said at an event in New York City.
Speculation over the future of the Supreme Court has mounted in recent weeks following President Trump's nomination of Brett Kavanaugh, who would replace retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy. Kavanaugh's confirmation would sway the balance of the court for years to come.
Kavanaugh has been met with fierce opposition by Democrats who fear he would be the deciding vote to overturn Roe v. Wade, the landmark Supreme Court case that legalized abortion in the U.S.
The liberal Ginsburg, who was appointed to the court by former President Clinton in 1993, on Sunday said she missed her back-and-forth with Justice Antonin Scalia, who passed away in 2016.
"If I had my choice of dissenters when I was writing for the court, it would be Justice Scalia," Ginsburg said. "Sometimes it was like a ping-pong game."

Former Clinton Lawyer Urges Hillary Not To Run In 2020 "For Her Family's Sake"


Rumors of another Clinton campaign in the works comes amid the former candidate's recent uptick in public appearances and fund-raising appeals, and after writer Michael Goodwin floated the idea that Clinton could be gearing up for a presidential run in 2020 on Saturday in the New York Post.

As Mint Press News' Whitney Webb writes, Clinton's recent return to the public arena coincided with her efforts to challenge Trump's "zero tolerance" immigration policy, particularly the scandal caused by separations of migrant families at the U.S. border. Even though Clinton has long advocated for building a border fence and similar "zero tolerance" immigration measures comparable to those of Trump, she used the outrage to launch her return to the public eye, raising more than $1.5 million for separated families.

Clinton has also used the recent resignation of Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy as another rallying point, having announced a new partnership with groups contesting Trump's judicial nominees soon after Kennedy's announcement.

Affirmative Action On The Ropes?

A case is currently under litigation that however it is decided, will likely reach the Supreme Court. There the diversity industry may face a challenge that brings the institutional racism of affirmative action and its baleful effects to an end.

In 2014, an organization called Students for Fair Admissions sued Harvard University for excluding Asian students who were far better qualified than other applicants who had been admitted. Last November the Justice Department opened an investigation into Harvard's admission practices, and is threatening to sue the university, throwing its support behind the plaintiffs. The plaintiffs have viewed admission records through discovery, and want them publicized because the evidence for arbitrary and discriminatory evaluations is so obvious no trial is necessary. More recently, the Trump administration has rescinded Obama's 2011 rule advising universities to use race as a criterion in admissions. Finally, the retirement of Justice Anthony Kennedy creates an opening for a Constitutionalist judge who will not, as Kennedy has serially done, subordinate the law to politics or social engineering.

Chelsea Clinton, Kleiner Perkins throw support behind Nurx, the 'Uber for birth control'

Telemedicine startup Nurx, which provides direct-to-consumer birth control and daily HIV prevention medication (PrEP) to patients whether or not they have health insurance, has raised $36 million in a Series B led by Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers. The round values the company at $100 million, per PitchBook data.

Dubbed the "Uber for birth control" in the media, Nurx offers a HIPAA-compliant platform that delivers contraceptives directly to customers' doorsteps and allows women to skip physical doctor's appointments, offering online access to a network of doctors and pharmacies that have partnered with the company. It's a business plan that's also drawn the support of Chelsea Clinton, who will join Nurx's board as part of the new funding.

News of the funding comes a day after US President Donald Trump announced conservative federal appeals court judge Brett Kavanaugh as his nominee to replace retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy on the Supreme Court, igniting a conversation around the future of women's healthcare. A majority-conservative court could reverse Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 case that made it illegal for states to ban abortion.

If the court does overturn Roe V. Wade, control over abortion regulations would return to each individual state. It's likely that 22 states would ban abortion without federal laws, according to a recent estimate from the Center for Reproductive Rights.

Grassley: Judge Kavanaugh is a Superb Candidate for Supreme Court
WASHINGTON - Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) tonight made the following comment on President Trump's nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to replace retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy on the U.S. Supreme Court.

"Judge Kavanaugh is one of the most qualified Supreme Court nominees to come before the Senate. His credentials are well known, and he's served with distinction as a judge on the esteemed D.C. Circuit for more than a decade. He is a superb mainstream candidate worthy of the Senate's consideration," Grassley said.

"As we have always done when reviewing nominees for lifetime-appointed judgeships, the Senate Judiciary Committee will conduct a fair and comprehensive evaluation of the nominee's background and qualifications followed by hearings where we'll hear directly from the nominee as we fulfill our advice and consent responsibility."
Brett Kavanaugh currently serves as judge on the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit in Washington. He was confirmed for the judgeship in 2006 after being nominated by President George W. Bush.

Judge Kavanaugh previously served in the White House Counsel's Office and then as the White House Staff Secretary under President Bush. He also served as Associate Counsel in the Office of Independent Counsel under Ken Starr.

Judge Kavanaugh received a Bachelor of Arts from Yale University in 1987 and then a Juris Doctor from Yale Law School in 1990. He clerked for two federal appeals court judges and Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy. He also worked in private practice in Washington, D.C.

Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) on Monday laid into President Trump for nominating Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, saying he did so to protect himself in the ongoing Russia probe.

Merkley suggested Trump picked Kavanaugh because of the judge's past writings that argue a president should be shielded from ongoing investigations.

.@realDonaldTrump is terrified of Robert Mueller. It's no wonder he chose Kavanaugh as his #SCOTUSPick. He's someone who argued that Sitting Presidents should be immune from prosecution and not be indicted & POTUS has the sole power to appoint and fire special prosecutors at will

"I believe that whoever is appointed ought to recuse himself and commit to recusing himself from those kinds of decisions that affect the personal finances or the special prosecutor investigation.
- Senator Jeff Merkley (@SenJeffMerkley) July 10, 2018
Trump tapped Kavanaugh, 53, to replace Justice Anthony Kennedy, who is retiring at the end of the month.

Prior to serving on the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C., Kavanaugh worked as a White House aide under former President George W. Bush, and for Kenneth Starr, the independent counsel who investigated former President Clinton in the 1990s.

In his legal writings, Kavanaugh has argued the president should be shielded from the demands of criminal and civil investigations because they interfere with his official duties.

Prior to Trump's announcement, Democrats expressed concerns over the nominee's role in any decisions involving special counsel Mueller's investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election. Some lawmakers suggested Trump's nominee would have a conflict of interest in any court cases related to the investigation.
Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), argued Sunday that the Supreme Court may ultimately have to weigh in if Trump refuses to comply with a subpoena in the Mueller investigation, as his lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, has suggested.

Leonard Leo, who took a leave from the conservative group the Federalist Society to aide Trump with the Supreme Court pick, dismissed Democratic calls to delay the confirmation process until after Mueller concludes his investigation as a "red herring."

Will Trump get a third supreme court pick?
Sam Morris and Juweek Adolphe

With the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh for supreme court justice, Trump is set to cement his significant influence on the highest court in the land. Once Kavanaugh is confirmed, the probable outcome given the Republican controlled Senate, Trump will have made as many appointments in two years as Barack Obama did in two full terms.

The result of those nominations has left us with a supreme court that leans towards the right, with a majority of sitting justices nominated by Republican presidents. This wind of change brings a conservative sway for decades that will only get stronger if Trump, who is not even halfway into his first term, could secure a third pick.
The deadline
A position on the supreme court becomes available when one of the nine sitting justices resigns, retires or dies. Once a position becomes vacant, the president nominates someone whom the Senate will then either confirm or reject. It took four months for Neil Gorsuch, Trump's first pick for the supreme court, to be confirmed. In order for Trump to lock down a third pick, a spot would have open up by July 2020, before the election in November of that year.

So whose spot is most likely to be vacated?

Breyer crosses the average retirement age
Justice Anthony Kennedy, whose recently announced retirement created the spot for Kavanaugh, retired at 81 - an age Breyer will hit before 2020. Kennedy's retirement was far from an outlier, with 80 being the average retirement age for the last 11 justices. There's a slim chance that Breyer might want to do the same. However, given his history of voting with the liberal end of the bench, he'll more than likely try to hold on and hand his position off to a Democratic president.

Q Research General #2648 Reactions to the Nomination of Kavanaugh Edition

Judge Brett Kavanaugh is Neil Gorsuch 2.0, a huge accomplishment for Trump
President Trump has selected Judge Brett Kavanaugh as his "Gorsuch 2.0." While many in Trump's base supported Amy Coney Barrett, others say that Kavanaugh has also been a staunch and faithful defender of religious liberty and fundamental rights during his tenure on the D.C. Circuit Court and is a proven textual originalist. He will also likely be much easier than Barrett to confirm.

While rumors have been vacillating between the four most likely nominees, Trump really had all excellent choices to pick from. Varying branches of the GOP base supported one nominee over the other since Justice Anthony Kennedy announced his retirement, but the bottom line is that when Kavanaugh is confirmed-which will most likely happen prior to the November 2018 midterm elections-the majority of the Supreme Court will now be conservative.

President Trump said during the announcement that selecting a Supreme Court justice is a "profound responsibility of the president" and "what matters is not the judge's political views [...] but whether they can do what the law and Constitution requires."

"I think the president is looking at the big picture," Dershowitz told CNN of a phone conversation he had with Trump a few days ago.

"This is only one of several nominations he expects to make. And I think what he's thinking about tonight or what he thought about today was who should be the first of my picks?" Dershowitz continued. "He's anticipating making two, three, four, maybe five picks over the years. And so he's kind of setting out a program for who he would like to pick over the years."

Brett Michael Kavanaugh
(born February 12, 1965) is a United States Circuit Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. He was Staff Secretary in the Executive Office of the President of the United States under President George W. Bush.

A protégé of Kenneth Starr, Kavanaugh played a lead role in drafting the Starr report, which urged the impeachment of President Bill Clinton.[1] Kavanaugh led the investigation into the suicide of Clinton aide Vincent Foster. After the 2000 U.S. Presidential election, in which Kavanaugh worked for the George W. Bush campaign in the Florida recount, Kavanaugh joined Bush's staff, where he led the Administration's effort to identify and confirm judicial nominees.[2]

Kavanaugh was nominated to the D.C. Appeals Court by Bush in 2003. His confirmation hearings were contentious and stalled for three years over charges of partisanship. Kavanaugh was ultimately confirmed in May 2006 after a series of negotiations between Democratic and Republican senators.

On June 27, 2018, Associate Justice Anthony Kennedy announced his retirement, effective July 31, 2018. Kavanaugh is seen as a front-runner for appointment to fill that vacancy.

This month, Justice Anthony Kennedy announced he would be retiring from the Supreme Court of the United States, giving President Donald Trump an opportunity to nominate a potential replacement.
Despite the fact that Trump's decision was still days away from being finalized, students unanimously condemned Trump's move, harshly criticizing the president's nonexistent nominee.

This month, Justice Anthony Kennedy announced he would be retiring from the Supreme Court of the United States, giving President Trump an opportunity to nominate a potential replacement.

Instantly, Trump's political opponents began questioning the credentials of those who were thought to be on his shortlist for the position.

The same sentiment was seen on social media from pundits and members of Congress alike – but what would college students have to say about the matter? Did they have substantive reasons for not trusting the potential replacement, or were they simply set on opposing any Trump nominee?

To find out, I headed to New York University to ask students what they thought about who Trump had chosen to replace Justice Kennedy.

Despite the fact that Trump's decision was still days away from being finalized, students unanimously condemned Trump's move, harshly criticizing the president's nonexistent nominee.

"He's quite extreme in his views," said one student of the fictitious Judge.

"I saw it all over the news, that he's like racist," another student added, referring to the announcement that hadn't yet happened.
"I saw the new nominee is like racist, and he's starting a new wave of something very negative, and I'm really scared about the future and what choices he will make," another pupil added.

When asked if she'd seen the online coverage of the event, one faculty member described witnessing "outrage... as it should be."

What else did students have to say? Did anyone realize the decision had not yet been made?

The possibility of a right-wing Supreme Court Justice has LGBT campaigners rightly nervous. Trump's appointment will also coincide with key LGBT equality cases hitting the courts.

The Supreme Court nominee President Trump is expected to announce on Monday could play as large a role in unraveling LGBT rights as retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy did in recognizing them.

As LGBT legal advocacy groups previously told The Daily Beast, virtually everything will be on the line if Kennedy is replaced with an arch-conservative: transgender rights, employment protections, religious justifications for discrimination, and even marriage equality itself.

Armed with Federalist Society co-founder Professor Steven Calabresi's legal roadmap to challenge the constitutionality of everything Special Counsel Mueller has done, this report continues, the American attorneys representing the Russian firm Concord Management charged by Mueller in a "joke indictment" have now filed a motion in US Federal Court challenging his authority-and whose merits of will be ruled on the President Trump appointed US Federal District Judge Dabney Friedrich.

Likewise, this report notes, a further challenge to Special Counsel Mueller's constitutional authority following the roadmap laid out by Federalist Society co-founder Professor Calabresi is being made by the long time Trump backer Roger Stone's former aide Andrew Miller, through his attorneys from the Federalist Society aligned non-profit conservative legal organization National Legal and Policy Center, to quash a Mueller grand jury subpoena-but whose merits of will be heard by the President Obama appointed Chief United States District Judge Beryl A. Howell.

With President Trump appointed Federal Judge Friedrich expected to side with the Federalist Society legal determination that Special Counsel Mueller's appointment is un-constitutional, after which President Reagan appointed Senior Federal Judge Ellis will quickly follow suit once Manafort's attorneys file a motion for him to do so, this report concludes, a titanic legal war will then erupt because President Obama appointed Chief Federal Judge Howell and Federal Judge Jackson will, most certainly, rule the exact opposite-thus leaving the United States Supreme Court to be the final determiner of this issue-and whose Federalist Society members include Chief Justice John Roberts, Associate Justice Clarence Thomas, Associate Justice Samuel Alito and Associate Justice Neil Gorsuch-and is why the coup plotters against President Trump have become so enraged after Associate Justice Anthony Kennedy announced his retirement-as the soon to be Trump appointed next Federalist Society nominee for the United States Supreme Court will hold the fate of Trump, and their country, in his or her hands-but none of whom have ever gone against their societies founder Professor Calabresi's determinative constitutional legal opinions.

In seeking to extricate the US Federal Court from being a party to what is in essence a coup against President Trump, this report says, Senior Judge Ellis, this past week, released his decision denying a motion filed by Manafort against the "expanded powers" used by Special Counsel Mueller to charge him-but whose true reason for doing so can be plainly seen by his going out of his way to say that his decision should not be read as approving the appointment of a special counsel.

Most critical to note about Senior Judge Ellis's decision, this report notes, is that Manafort's attorneys didn't even ask him to rule as to whether Special Council Mueller's appointment was legal-thus allowing Senior Judge Ellis to provide for them (and anyone else charged by Mueller) the exact legal basis to challenge Mueller's appointment-and whose road map to do so Senior Judge Ellis laid out clearly by his twice citing in his ruling one of America's top constitutional lawyers, Northwestern University Clayton J. and Henry R. Barber Professor of Law Steven G. Calabresi.

Most important to note about US Constitutional Professor Calabresi, this report says, is that aside from his having been a close friend and legal collaborator with the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, he is, also, the co-founder of the Federalist Society from whose list President Trump choose US Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch, and will pick the replacement for the retiring US Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy-and whose two cited works by Senior Judge Ellis to use to destroy Special Counsel Mueller are the Northwestern Public Law Research Paper No. 18-14 legal reference document used by US Federal Courts titled "Opinion on the Constitutionality of Robert Mueller's Appointment"-and its for public use counterpart article published in the Wall Street Journal titled "Mueller's Investigation Crosses the Legal Line"-and wherein he plainly states:

Mr. Mueller's investigation has crossed a constitutional line, for reasons the U.S. Supreme Court made clear in the 1988 case Morrison v. Olson. That case is best known for Justice Antonin Scalia's powerful lone dissent arguing that the post-Watergate independent counsel statute was unconstitutional.

But Chief Justice William Rehnquist's opinion for the court, while upholding the statute, set forth limits that the Mueller investigation has exceeded.

At issue is the Constitution's Appointments Clause, which provides that "principal officers" must be appointed by the president with the Senate's consent.

Rehnquist wrote that independent counsel Alexia Morrison qualified as an "inferior officer," not subject to the appointment process, because her office was "limited in jurisdiction" to "certain federal officials suspected of certain serious federal crimes."

Mr. Mueller, in contrast, is investigating a large number of people and has already charged defendants with many different kinds of crimes, including-as in Mr. Manafort's case-ones unrelated to any collaboration between the Trump campaign and Russia. That's too much power for an inferior officer to have.

Only a principal officer, such as a U.S. attorney, can behave the way Mr. Mueller is behaving. Mr. Mueller is much more powerful today than any of the 96 U.S. attorneys. He is behaving like a principal officer.

Rehnquist's majority opinion has never been overturned. n Edmund v. U.S. and in Free Enterprise Fund v. Public Company Oversight Board, the justices said that an officer cannot be inferior unless he has a boss-as Mr. Mueller does in Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who appointed him. But that's not a sufficient condition.

As a principal officer, Mr. Rosenstein could legally have brought all the indictments Mr. Mueller has. But he may not delegate that authority to Mr. Mueller, any more than President Trump could delegate his veto power to Mr. Rosenstein.

Q Research General #2506: Bang, Bang.

Infamously hyper-partisan Republican Congressman Trey Gowdy has been having a rough go of it this year. His pal Devin Nunes dragged him into the "memo-gate" scandal, potentially exposing Gowdy to obstruction of justice criminal liability in the process. Immediately afterward, Gowdy announced he wasn't seeking reelection and wanted to return to his prosecutorial roots instead. Then Gowdy began trying to sound as judicious as possible, even going so far as to dispute most of Trump's claims about the Trump-Russia investigation. Now we're getting a look at what Gowdy is really trying to pull here.



This week's abrupt retirement of Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy shocked the world, but as more details surface about Kennedy's son's role in the Trump-Russia scandal, we're left to wonder how long Donald Trump and his allies have known that Kennedy's retirement was coming. How long have they been plotting around Kennedy's eventual announcement? Which of them have been angling for his seat? Well, one of Trey Gowdy's allies in the Senate just floated his name to fill Kennedy's seat.

That's right, Republican Senator Tim Scott is planning to formally recommend that Donald Trump nominate Trey Gowdy of all people to the Supreme Court, according to a new CNN report. This raises questions about whether Gowdy announced months ago that he was retiring from Congress because he knew Kennedy was going to retire, and if so, how he learned about it. Even if he didn't know in advance, his nomination isn't going anywhere.






If Trump nominates Trey Gowdy for the Supreme Court, that'll give the Democrats in the Senate the opportunity to grill Gowdy about the entirety of his lying and scheming political career. They can use the hearings to expose what Gowdy's involvement truly was in the Trump-Nunes memo scandal. They can also expose the endless bad-faith hearings that Gowdy held into Hillary Clinton's email an Benghazi non-scandals.

Left mounts heavy pressure campaign on swing senators over Supreme Court

Liberal groups are mounting a major offensive against President Trump's Supreme Court pick, hoping to pressure every Democratic senator to vote against whoever the White House nominates to succeed Justice Anthony Kennedy.
With Republicans clinging to a 50-49 voting majority given Sen. John McCain's (R-Ariz.) battle with brain cancer, Democrats also hope to pick off two Republican votes to stall Trump's nominee.

The biggest targets are Sens. Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) and Susan Collins (Maine), two Republican women who support abortion rights.

'Rational Thought Is Kryptonite to the Left': Author Rips 'Dangerous' Rhetoric By Democrats
Author Derek Hunter slammed Democrats for their recent negative and "dangerous" rhetoric against President Donald Trump and his administration.

Democrats have increasingly been vocal about battling back against the Trump administration after Rep. Maxine Waters (Calif.) called for her supporters to "absolutely harass" Trump administration officials in public.

The rhetoric continued after Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy announced his retirement last week, which could give President Trump the opportunity to move the court solidly to the right.

Hunter, the author of "Outrage, Inc.," said that the left is "freaking out" over the potential Supreme Court pick and that it's funny to watch.

"They've been turning up the outrage meter to 11 on everything," he said. "They are at a point where you can't be more outraged anymore."

He added that the left first vowed to fight back against the president's decisions regarding the border crisis, then the Supreme Court's decision to uphold President Trump's travel ban, and now they're preparing for Trump's next pick for the court.

"Liberals need to keep people in a constant emotional state because in an emotional state, you're not thinking rationally." Hunter said. "Rational thought is kryptonite to the left."

He said that there will be more dangerous rhetoric spoken by Democrats, like filmmaker Michael Moore, who on "The Late Show" said that Democrats need to "get off the couch" and put their "bodies on the line" to protest Trump's policies.

"There's a level of insanity, and then there's Michael Moore," he said.

CINCINNATI - The short list for U.S. Supreme Court nominees includes a federal appeals court judge who calls Northern Kentucky home.

Amul Thapar is one of 27 judges on the U.S. Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals based in Cincinnati. Friends and colleagues told WCPO they're excited about the possibility that Thapar might become one of nine justices on the highest court in the land, replacing retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy.

They said if President Trump nominates the 49-year-old Thapar and the Senate confirms him, he would be a perfect fit.

"I've never labeled him liberal, conservative," said Adam McNeely. "I think he's a principled jurist who follows the law and he works hard to get the right result."

"What's consistent is that he is always prepared, he is always respectful, he sees the big picture," said Jeff Mando.

"He's highly intelligent, really thoughtful about everything that he does," said Michael Whiteman.

"As phenomenal a judge as he is, I think he's 10 times better a human being," said Ben Dusing.

From 2008 to 2017 Thapar served as a federal judge for the Eastern District of Kentucky. Those who practiced in front of him knew that they better be prepared when they walked into his courtroom.

Mando appeared before Thapar many times in civil rights cases.

"If you've cited a case in a brief, you better know that case inside and out," Mando said. "You better know if there's been a dissent. You better anticipate all the problems you might have with your argument.

"I don't see him as a judge who has a large ego. I've always found him to be very down to earth and respectful in how he talks to the lawyers, in terms of how he addresses the clients in the courtroom."

McNeely was Thapar's first law clerk and calls him a wonderful friend, father and person.

"He worked his clerks hard to prepare for those cases," McNeely said. "Very principled jurist, and I think he really worked hard to get the right result."

Starting when he was a law clerk here in 1994, the Troy, Michigan, native has lived and worked in the Tri-State for almost 20 years.

Thapar has been on the faculty of Chase College of Law for 10 years. Ironically, one of his classes is The Supreme Court Seminar.

"He's fair, but demanding," said Whiteman, the interim dean. "He has the best and brightest of Chase in his class and he makes sure they learn when they're in there and prepared.

"The Supreme Court Seminar is limited to nine students and the students have to apply to get into the class. It's that competitive. Within the class, they take on the role of a Supreme Court justice and Judge Thapar walks them through some of the biggest, hottest topics of the day - legal topics - and they have to wrestle with it and they have to look at is as if they, themselves, were coming down with the opinion.

Anthony Kennedy's 'Sweet Mystery of Life' and the Self's Impossible Demands

Anthony Kennedy made it onto the highest court in the land due, it could be argued, to marijuana and a penumbra.

When a vacancy on the U.S. Supreme Court became available in 1987, Ronald Reagan nominated two other men before settling on Kennedy, the president's third choice.

Douglas Ginsburg withdrew from consideration after admitting to using marijuana while a law school professor. The first choice had been Robert Bork, who was taken out of consideration because of a decade old-penumbra (i.e., a group of rights derived, by implication, from other rights explicitly protected in the Bill of Rights).

Court opening puts pressure on Democrats in Trump country

The opening on the Supreme Court has created a dilemma for Democratic senators up for re-election this year in the states that President Donald Trump won in 2016.

The choice on whether to support the upcoming nominee to replace Justice Anthony Kennedy will be a test for several Democrats in tough races. It could be particularly difficult for Sens. Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota, Joe Donnelly of Indiana and West Virginia's Joe Manchin.
Supporting Trump's nominee would bring its own political peril for the Democrats. That move would risk alienating donors and the party's base, potentially depressing voter turnout.
The president met with Heitkamp, Donnelly and Manchin on Thursday night to discuss the Supreme Court vacancy, according to White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
"There is an absolute meltdown on the left now about blocking this nomination," said Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner, who is leading the GOP's national Senate race efforts. "This is an incredibly difficult thing for them to try to address, and it's going to create quite a bit of division."

Kamala Harris: Dem Colleagues Ready to Play 'Hardball' to Save Constitution from Trump SCOTUS Pick

Wednesday on MSNBC's "Hardball," Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) said her colleagues in the Senate were ready to play "hardball" to delay President Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee's confirmation to replace Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy until after the 2018 midterms.

When asked what a Trump pick would look like, Harris said, "We are looking at a destruction of the Constitution of the United States based on all the folks he's been appointing thus far for lifetime appointments. He's been appointing ideologues. He's been appointing people who have refused to agree Brown v Board of Education is settled law.he's been appointing people not even qualified by bar associations. So this has got to be one-we all need to understand this to be one of the most serious fights we have yet to have had with this president. And we cannot relent."

When asked if Democrats will play hardball, Harris said, "based on every conversation I have had with my colleagues this afternoon, everybody is prepared to play hardball."

When asked if the process can be delayed until after the election, Harris added, "We have to fight to push it off. Listen, unlike Merrick Garland, where there were eight months left in that term, there are four months. We're four months away from an election. One-third of the United States Senate is up for election. The decision that we make is going to have a generational impact. And the American people should be able to weigh in on who will be this in this position on the United States Supreme Court. Let's remember. This is not like Gorsuch, where Gorsuch was about one conservative replacing another conservative. We fought on that one. I voted against him, but he's there. He replaced Scalia. This is about a swing vote. This is a different seat, a different seat and everything lays in the balance in terms of how this court could swing on everything from choice, Roe versus Wade, to what we did in terms of same-sex marriage to so many issues that are about fundamental rights and about respecting the Constitution of the United States. So this is not like Gorsuch."

in light of the disgusting details of the joel davis case

almost exactly 10 years ago justice Kennedy ruled in favor of banning the death penalty for people accused of multiple counts of child rape….

In a 5-4 decision the Court held that the Eighth Amendment bars states from imposing the death penalty for the rape of a child where the crime did not result, and was not intended to result, in the child's death. Applying the death penalty in such a case would be an exercise of "cruel and unusual punishment" in violation of a national consensus on the issue. Justice Anthony Kennedy delivered the opinion of the Court. Justice Samuel Alito, joined by Chief Justice John G. Roberts and Justices Clarence Thomas and Antonin Scalia, dissented. In his view, no national consensus existed prohibiting the death penalty in this case, and he vehemently opposed the majority's application of a "blanket rule" barring the death penalty in child rape cases regardless of the facts of the case, including the age of the child, the sadistic nature of the crime, and the number of times the child has been raped.

PANIC

Schumer Demands Congress Wait Until After Midterm Elections to Confirm Kennedy Replacement

On Wednesday, Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy announced he will be retiring from the bench at the end of July.

Kennedy, 81, has been a noted swing vote on the court with his decisions often determine the deciding vote on a court split 4 to 4 between liberals and conservatives even though he was considered a conservative, having been appointed by President Reagan in 1987.

President Trump is reportedly choosing Justice Kennedy's replacement from a list of 25 judges - the same list he chose Justice Neil Gorsuch from last year.

ABC News reported President Trump's teams intends to push to get a nominee to replace Anthony Kennedy confirmed before the midterm elections.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer immediately pushed back on Trump's plan to get his nominee to replace Justice Kennedy confirmed before the midterm elections.

Schumer demanded Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) abide by the 'Biden Rule' when deciding to confirm a Supreme Court Justice.

The 'Biden Rule' essentially calls for confirmations to be halted during an election year.

McConnell cited the 'Biden Rule' when deciding not to consider Obama's nominee, Merrick Garland, before the 2016 election. Thankfully, McConnell opened the door for Justice Neil Gorsuch to be nominated by President Trump.

The Republicans should not acquiesce to the Democrats' demands. Confirm President Trump's next Justice nominee as soon as possible.

Schumer laughably said if the Senate confirms a Justice during the election year, it would be the "height of hypocrisy."

Presidential election years are different from midterm election years. Obama's second SCOTUS nominee, Elena Kagan was confirmed in August of 2010, an election year.

Ginsburg, 85 and very frail is expected to retire from the bench soon which Trump noted; he also savaged Sotomayor for her health problems.

Obama-appointee, Sonia Sotomayor, the self-proclaimed "wise Latina" has suffered from type-1 diabetes since childhood.

The President privately pointed out Sotomayor's serious battle with diabetes as a reason why she may be leaving the bench soon.

Axios reported:

They swear he's not joking. Sources who've spoken to the president about the Supreme Court say he tells them he thinks he'll have appointed four justices by the end of his first term.

"It's all about the numbers for him," one source said.

Asked how he comes to that jaw-dropping number, Trump mentions the obvious: he's already replaced Antonin Scalia with Neil Gorsuch, and there are rumors Anthony Kennedy will retire.
"Ok," one source told Trump, "so that's two. Who are the others?"
"Ginsburg," Trump replied. "What does she weigh? 60 pounds?"
"Who's the fourth?" the source asked.
"Sotomayor," Trump said, referring to the relatively recently-appointed Obama justice, whose name is rarely, if ever, mentioned in speculation about the next justice to be replaced. "Her health," Trump explained. "No good. Diabetes."

Justice Sotomayor is open about her battle with type-1 diabetes.

DNC Deputy Chair Ellison Rants: Gorsuch Voted For Travel Ban At Behest Of His 'Paymasters'

After the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Trump Administration's so-called "travel ban" on Tuesday, Democratic National Committee Deputy Chair Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) ripped Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch, saying he voted with the majority at the behest of his "paymasters." Justices John Roberts, Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, Anthony Kennedy and Gorsuch all voted to uphold the Trump Administration's policy.

As The Washington Free Beacon reports, Ellison, the first Muslim elected to Congress, compared the SCOTUS decision to the Court's infamously racist decisions in Dred Scott and Plessy vs. Ferguson.


"Gorsuch really should not be on the Supreme Court. He may be there, but he's not there properly. You know, you can do that. You can jam in a Supreme Court by denying a sitting president their right to appoint the Supreme Court justice. That is exactly what happened, and Gorsuch has just done what his paymasters sent him there to do. It's a shame."

Q Research General #2330: Drain The Swamp Cabinet Meeting Edition

Supreme Court sides with immigrant in case over accumulation of continuous time in US

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Thursday that a notice to appear sent from the federal government to an immigrant that lacks information such as the time and date of removal proceedings does not prevent that immigrant from accumulating "continuous presence" time in the U.S. The court ruled 8-1 in the case, and Justice Samuel Alito was the sole dissenter. The court overturned a decision from the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals and sent the case back to the lower court in light of its decision.

The case dealt with whether the "stop-time rule" is triggered once an immigrant receives a notice to appear, even if that notice does not include the date or time of removal proceedings. The question is important because immigrants who have accrued 10 years of continuous presence can be eligible for relief that allows them to remain in the U.S. "If the government serves a non-citizen with a document that is labeled 'notice to appear,' but the document fails to specify either the time or place of the removal proceedings, does it trigger a stop-time rule?" Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote for the majority. "The answer is as obvious as it seems: No." Sotomayor concluded that a notice that doesn't tell an immigrant when and where to appear for removal proceedings is not officially a "notice to appear" under federal statute. "The plain text, the statutory context, and common sense all lead inescapably and unambiguously to that conclusion," she continued. The case involved Wescley Pereira, an immigrant from Brazil who came to the U.S. on a six-month tourist visa at 19, but remained after the visa expired.

In May 2006, federal immigration authorities served Pereira with a notice to appear, which said he is subject to removal for overstaying his visa. The notice ordered him to appear in immigration court and instructed him to appear "on a date to be set at a time to be set." More than a year later, the immigration court mailed Pereira a notice scheduling the time of his removal hearing, but the notice was sent to his street address instead of his P.O. box and subsequently returned. The immigration hearing was held despite Pereira's absence, and he was ordered to be deported. Pereira, however, remained in the U.S., "having never received any hearing notice, and having no knowledge of the in absentia removal order," according to a brief his lawyers filed with the court. In March 2013, Pereira was arrested for a motor vehicle violation and detained by federal immigration authorities. An immigration judge reopened his removal proceedings, and Pereira applied for cancellation of removal, saying he lived in the U.S. for more than 10 years. The judge, though, denied Pereira's request, citing the notice to appear Pereira received in 2006, which stopped the clock on his period of continuous presence. Under this ruling, Pereira had only been in the U.S. for six years.

The Board of Immigration Appeals affirmed the decision, citing an earlier decision from 2011 that found the period of continuous presence ends when a notice to appear is served, even if it does not include the elements listed in the statute.

The 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals denied Pereira's request for review, deferring to the Board of Immigration Appeals and citing Chevron. The federal appeals court said the stop-time rule is ambiguous and the Board of Immigration Appeals' interpretation of the rule permissible. The Chevron doctrine, stemming from the 1984 case Chevron v. Natural Resources Defense Council Inc., says courts should defer to federal agencies 'reasonable interpretations of statutes when they are ambiguous. But writing in a concurring opinion, Justice Anthony Kennedy raised concerns with the way the court's decision in Chevron "has come to be understood and applied." "Given the concerns raised by some members of this court, it seems necessary and appropriate to reconsider, in an appropriate case, the premises that underlie Chevron and how courts have implemented the decision," Kennedy wrote. "The proper rules for interpreting statutes and determining agency jurisdiction and substantive agency powers should accord with constitutional separation-of-powers principles and the function and province of the judiciary."

Q Research General #2329: One Summer's Eve, In The Belly Of The Frog..

Supreme Court rules that states can require collection of online sales taxes

The Supreme Court ruled Thursday that states can require out-of-state online retailers to collect sales taxes, reversing a previous high court decision that limited collections to stores with a physical presence and paving the way to more online sales taxes nationwide.

In a 5-4 decision written by Anthony Kennedy, the court ruled that that physical presence standard is "unsound and incorrect." The ruling in South Dakota v. Wayfair, Inc., provides a major win for brick-and-mortar retailers and state governments hungry for tax revenues. The Trump administration, too, had sought greater latitude for online sales taxes, splitting with many conservatives on the issue.

Thursday's ruling defied the usual partisan lines, as justices Clarence Thomas, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Samuel Alito, and Neil Gorsuch joined with Kennedy. The ruling undid earlier Supreme Court precedents regarding state taxation powers, including 1992's Quill Corp. v. North Dakota. That decision set the precedent that states could not require out-of-state sellers with no physical presence to collect sales taxes on in-state sales. "Each year," Kennedy wrote, that ruling "becomes further removed from economic reality and results in significant revenue losses to the States."

The intervening time has seen the rise of Internet retail, making the Quill standard the cause of heavy-duty lobbying and politicking. Traditional retailers have fought to have online sellers face the same tax collection rules they do, arguing that Internet retailers are given an price advantage by not having to collect taxes. While consumers are supposed to pay sales taxes on online purchases, most do not. The brick-and-mortar retailers have been joined by state governments fearful of hemorrhaging tax revenue. South Dakota wrote its law as a test case for the Supreme Court. "Retailers have been waiting for this day for more than two decades," said Matthew Shay, CEO of the National Retail Federation. "The retail industry is changing, and the Supreme Court has acted correctly in recognizing that it's time for outdated sales tax policies to change as well. This ruling clears the way for a fair and level playing field where all retailers compete under the same sales tax rules whether they sell merchandise online, in-store or both. " The Trump administration also favored allowing state collections on online sales taxes. Following President Trump's comments on Twitter and elsewhere calling for Internet sales taxes, the administration argued for a broad understanding of state power to tax online sales, arguing that online stores have "virtual" presences similar to physical locations.

On the other side of the argument are Internet retailers such as Wayfair and eBay, the sales platform. Some conservative groups also oppose allowing states to tax out-of-state retailers, on the grounds that it would allow governments to tax people who have no democratic control over them. During oral arguments, the justices wrestled with the complexities that would ensue if they undid the Quill standard, worrying about the possibility that a handful of online giants could dominate small brick-and-mortar retailers and wondering where the constitutional threshold should be for commerce to face sales tax obligations. Chief Justice John Roberts, joined by Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan, dissented from the decision, writing that they would have preferred to allow Congress to resolve the issues through legislation.

Now, Congress will face pressure to act, facing a new set of ground rules. The National Retail Federation called on Congress to pass legislation setting uniform rules for retailers across the country. Meanwhile, conservative groups immediately pressed for a law to protect small online sellers. "Congress must act in the American people's best interest and pass specific legislation that protects small business and consumers from unnecessary online taxes," said Jason Pye, vice president of legislative affairs for Freedomworks.

Supreme Court rules states can require online sellers to collect sales tax

The Supreme Court on Thursday upheld a South Dakota law requiring certain out-of-state retailers to collect its sales tax.
In a 5-4 ruling, the court overturned a 1992 court precedent barring states from requiring businesses that have no physical presence in the state to collect their sales taxes.
Delivering the opinion of the court, Justice Anthony Kennedy said the physical presence rule in that former case, known as Quill Corp. v. North Dakota, is unsound and incorrect.
Kennedy said Quill created a tax shelter for businesses that decide to limit their physical presence and still sell their goods and services to a state's consumers-something, he said, that has become easier and more prevalent as technology has advanced.
"Worse still, the rule produces an incentive to avoid physical presence in multiple States," he said. "Distortions caused by the desire of businesses to avoid tax collection mean that the market may currently lack storefronts, distribution points, and employment centers that otherwise would be efficient or desirable."

EPA moves toward rewriting Obama water rule
By Timothy Cama - 06/15/18 10:06 AM EDT
http://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/392447-epa-moves-toward-rewriting-obama-water-rule
The Trump administration took a major step Friday toward rewriting an Obama administration water pollution rule in a more industry-friendly way.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Army Corps of Engineers on Friday sent their proposal to redefine "Waters of the United States" to the White House Office of Management and Budget for review. It is the final step before the agencies can release the proposal for public comment.
The Waters of the United States rule, also dubbed WOTUS, defines which bodies of water are subject to federal jurisdiction under the Clean Water Act.
The Obama rule, written in 2015 and known as the Clean Water Rule, was highly controversial.
It was intended to clarify that small waterways like ponds and headwaters can be protected. But agriculture, developers and other industries industries complained that it was too far-reaching and would subject huge swaths of land to federal oversight.
"Farmers, ranchers, landowners, and other stakeholders are counting on EPA to listen to their input when it comes to defining 'waters of the United States,'" EPA head Scott Pruitt said in a statement.
"Today, we are taking an important step toward issuing a new WOTUS definition and answering President Trump's call to ensure that our waters are kept free from pollution, while promoting economic growth, minimizing regulatory uncertainty, and showing due regard for the roles of the federal government and the states under the statutory framework of the Clean Water Act."
Pruitt's rewrite is expected to be more industry-friendly, aligning with an executive order President Trump signed early last year that asked the EPA to write a new rule that aligned with what late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia thought should be the definition.
Pruitt's action on Friday comes as his ethics and spending scandals continue to pile up. His regulatory rollbacks, like the water regulation, have kept him largely in the good graces of Trump, congressional Republicans and conservatives, despite the scandals.
The rewrite of the rule is the second part of a two-stop process Pruitt has planned to repeal and replace the Clean Water Rule. He proposed in June 2017 to repeal the old rule, though he has not made it final yet.
The Clean Water Act mainly covers large, navigable waterways like rivers and bays. But the EPA must also protect some upstream waterways that feed into them.
The Obama rule centered on the concept that waterways with a "significant nexus" to navigable ones would be regulated. That was based on a plurality opinion written by Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy in the 2006 Rapanos v. United States case, which concluded with a messy 4-1-4 vote.
But Scalia's opinion was that only "relatively permanent" waterways should be covered, which would cover less area than Kennedy's definition.
The Obama rule was put on hold by multiple federal courts before it took effect.

Supreme Court upholds Ohio's policy for purging voter rolls

The U.S. Supreme Court has upheld Ohio's process for purging voters from its rolls, siding with the state on the question of whether its policy for maintaining its voter registration lists violated federal laws.

The court split 5-4 along ideological lines in its decision, and Justice Samuel Alito wrote the majority opinion. Justice Anthony Kennedy, the court's swing vote, sided with the conservatives in the case.

With its decision Monday, the court reversed a ruling from the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

The court said Ohio can remove voters from its rolls if, after skipping a federal election cycle, they do not return a notice sent by the state in the mail and fail to vote for another four years. Several other states have similar processes in place, though none are as aggressive as Ohio's.

In evaluating whether the state's process violated the Help America Vote Act of 2002 - one of two federal laws raised in the case - Alito wrote that Ohio's process "does not strike any registrant solely" because they failed to vote. Rather, "as expressly permitted by federal law, it removes registrants only when they have failed to vote and have failed to respond to a change-of-residence notice."

He said the court's role is only to assess whether Ohio is violating the law, and not whether Ohio's practice could be improved.

"The dissents have a policy disagreement, not just with Ohio, but with Congress. But this case presents a question of statutory interpretation, not a question of policy. We have no authority to second-guess Congress or to decide whether Ohio's Supplemental Process is the ideal method for keeping its voting rolls up to date. The only question before us is whether it violates federal law. It does not," Alito wrote for the majority.

In her dissent, Justice Sonia Sotomayor said the court's ruling ignored the history of the enactment of National Voter Registration Act of 1993, the second federal law that was raised, and upholds a program that appears to disenfranchise minority and low-income voters.

She also said the majority was "distorting the statutory text to arrive at a conclusion that not only is contrary to the plain language of the NVRA, but also contradicts the essential purposes of the statute."

"Ohio's Supplemental Process reflects precisely the type of purge system that the NVRA was designed to prevent," Sotomayor wrote.

The case centered on the legality of the Buckeye State's maintenance of its voter registration list. The state sends voters who have been inactive for two years a confirmation notice requiring a response. If the state doesn't receive a response and the voter is inactive for another four years, Ohio removes the voter from the rolls.

Two federal laws - the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 and Help America Vote Act of 2002 - prohibit states from removing names from its voter registration rolls because a person hasn't voted.

Civil rights groups challenged Ohio's process for clearing its voter rolls on the basis it violated part of the National Voter Registration Act and the Help America Vote Act.

The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the civil rights groups and said Ohio violated federal voting law because the state used a voter's failure to vote as a "trigger" that prompted the notice to be sent out.

Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted petitioned the Supreme Court to review the lower court's ruling and said it's "'far from clear' which of the combinations of programs for maintaining the rolls best balances accuracy against cost" incurred by the state.

Husted praised the Supreme Court's decision and said other states can look to Ohio's method when developing measures aimed at maintaining voter registration lists.

"Today's decision is a victory for election integrity, and a defeat for those who use the federal court system to make election law across the country," he said. "This decision is validation of Ohio's efforts to clean up the voter rolls and now with the blessing nation's highest court, it can serve as a model for other states to use."

The case drew added significance in the wake of the 2016 election, after which President Trump called into question the integrity of the election when he claimed 3 to 5 million illegal immigrants voted.

Following Trump's election, the Justice Department sided with the state of Ohio, switching its position in the case.

Supreme Court Balance at Stake as Kennedy Retirement Talk Heats Up

After 30 years of pivotal decisions on the U.S. Supreme Court, Justice Anthony Kennedy is about to make his biggest one yet.

For the second straight year, Kennedy, 81, is the focus of retirement speculation as the court approaches the late-June end of its term. A retirement by the court's swing justice would give President Donald Trump his second Supreme Court vacancy to fill before Republicans' Senate majority goes on the November election ballot. It also would drop a political bomb into what is already one of the country's most divisive eras since the Civil War.

Though he has given no public indication he plans to depart, advocates on both sides are wondering whether Kennedy's age and Republican roots could lead him to do so. It could trigger a rancorous confirmation battle and open the court to a sharp – and probably enduring – turn to the right.

A Trump-appointed successor could create the five-member majority that legal conservatives have envisioned for decades.

High court blasts Colorado's anti-religious bias, leaves boundaries of religious liberty ill-defined

The Supreme Court on Monday ruled that Colorado officials' religious bigotry required the court to defend a Christian cakeshop owner, Jack Phillips who refused to bake a wedding cake for a gay wedding.

Writing the court's majority opinion in the case of Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission, Justice Anthony Kennedy affirmed that the cakemaker's first amendment rights were denied because the Colorado Civil Rights Commission had failed to neutrally consider Phillips' religious beliefs.

Kennedy noted that the baker's concerns made it "difficult [for Phillips] to find a line where the customers' rights to goods and services became a demand for him to exercise the right of his own personal expression for their message, a message he could not express in a way consistent with his religious beliefs."

The court ruled that the commission thus had a responsibility to neutrally assess the baker's rights here alongside those of the gay couple. Yet the commission did not do so. Pointing out the commission's distinct biases, Justice Kennedy noted that "One commissioner suggested that Phillips can believe 'what he wants to believe,' but cannot act on his religious beliefs 'if he decides to do business in the state.'" Kennedy then blitzed the commission's use of language in its hearings related to Phillips.

"To describe a man's faith as 'one of the most despicable pieces of rhetoric that people can use'," Kennedy said, "is to disparage his religion in at least two distinct ways: by describing it as despicable, and also by characterizing it as merely rhetorical - something insubstantial and even insincere." An unimpressed Kennedy then reported that the commission's "record shows no objection to these comments from other commissioners."

Implication: the commission was intrinsically entirely hostile to Phillips' constitutional rights because he was grounding hs claims in religion.

For Kennedy, that absence of neutral consideration required the Supreme Court to relieve Phillips of the censure imposed upon him: "For these reasons, the court cannot avoid the conclusion that these statements cast doubt on the fairness and impartiality of the Commission's adjudication of Phillips' case… However later cases raising these or similar concerns are resolved in the future, for these reasons the rulings of the Commission and of the state court that enforced the Commission's order must be invalidated."

For Kennedy, the admittedly narrow operative point here is that a religious individual must receive due process and just assessment by a government body. Still, the more conservative justices were more aggressive.

Justice Neil Gorsuch's concurrence, for example, argues that "it is no more appropriate for the United States Supreme Court to tell Mr. Phillips that a wedding cake is just like any other - without regard to the religious significance his faith may attach to it - than it would be for the Court to suggest that for all persons sacramental bread is just bread or a kippah is just a cap."

That passionate language speaks to the court's challenge. As new cases reach its attention, the nation's ongoing struggle between secular modernity and religious freedom will continue at pace.

"But the court did not issue a definitive ruling on the circumstances under which people can seek exemptions from anti-discrimination laws based on their religious views."

"The commission had said Phillips violated the Colorado anti-discrimination law that bars businesses from refusing service based on race, sex, marital status or sexual orientation by rebuffing gay couple David Mullins and Charlie Craig in 2012."

'Two of the court's four liberals, Stephen Breyer and Elena Kagan, joined the five conservative justices in the ruling authored by Justice Anthony Kennedy.'

New financial crisis likely as Western civil war intensifies in Washington D.C., Europe, Brazil and elsewhere

By Benjamin Fulford, White Dragon Society
2018-05-29

The undeclared civil war inside the ranks of the Western elite is continuing to rage, with both sides carrying out major offensives. Ultimately, this battle is between the old aristocratic bloodlines, strongest in Europe, and the anti-bloodline Gnostic Illuminati, now prevalent inside the U.S.

The biggest battleground continues to be Washington, D.C., where the old establishment is fighting for its life and losing against the military-backed regime of President Donald Trump.

However, the situation in Europe is also heating up intensely as the Russia/China Eurasian alliance moves to consolidate control there in alliance with some old-bloodline factions, according to White Dragon Society sources in Europe. Germany and Turkey, reviving a World War I alliance, are leading the anti-U.S. moves there. Also, Italy's new government has declared open warfare against the Khazarian mafia cabal in a move that will bring new turmoil to the eurozone.

We will start with a look at the situation inside the U.S. Here, the U.S. military is supporting President Donald Trump in some ways, while fighting against him in others. This ambiguous stance can be seen in the form of a continuing major offensive against pedophiles and other corrupt elements in the old establishment.

A Pentagon source summed up the situation as follows: "After 8 months of defiance, liberals are reeling from their defeat in the culture war as the NFL was forced to ban kneeling when the national anthem is sung, and nearly 8 months after a New York Times exposé, Manhattan prosecutors were forced to arrest Harvey Weinstein."

Furthermore, the impending retirement of Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy is expected to give the Trump regime control over the Supreme Court, the sources say. This will make it possible to carry out the long-awaited mass arrests without interference from cabal agents in the justice system, the sources note. It will also make a big difference in the culture wars, as a pushback to family values and away from promoting non-reproductive sex intensifies with Christian support.

As a part of these culture wars, Harvey Weinstein's criminal trial is putting a lot of pressure on the Hollywood elite. Pentagon sources are saying that Weinstein "signals with the book he carries about Communist director Elia Kazan that he will rat on other predators and pedos in Hollywood." Kazan's "testimony as a witness before the House Committee on Un-American Activities in 1952 at the time of the Hollywood blacklist brought him strong negative reactions from many liberal friends and colleagues."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elia_Kazan

Various other rats have been singing like canaries for a while now in a bid to get off the sinking cabal ship. In particular, we now know that Jeffrey Epstein, who ran a pedophile island used to compromise and blackmail elite politicians, etc., is now an FBI informant who has been squealing to U.S. special prosecutor Robert Mueller. This is important because Mueller, despite his past tainted by 9/11 etc., is now working for the U.S. military. Since Trump himself has been a visitor to this pedophile island, the military is getting evidence he was blackmailed into doing Israel's bidding in places like Syria and Iran, Pentagon sources say.

The pushback against Trump's Zionist blackmail-induced activity in the Middle East could be seen when "the House on May 23 banned Trump from declaring war on Iran without Congressional approval, and Congress on May 24 killed a measure for the U.S. to recognize Golan as part of Israel," the sources say. In other words, Zionist blackmail against Trump is not going to be enough to allow these fanatics the opportunity to start their long-awaited World War III.

Other Pentagon sources, meanwhile, are saying a major victory against the Zionist-controlled banks was achieved last week and that as a result, trillions of dollars fraudulently obtained after the Lehman crisis is now going to be used for a new financial system. The source says,

"...that a gold-backed U.S. dollar looms on the horizon; that the U.S. government is going to stop borrowing money from the banks; that Donald Trump may have succeeded in getting back perhaps...

$15 trillion in "credits" from the $23-43 trillion now known to have been stolen by the banks; and-most importantly for the American public-that sometime in June over a trillion dollars will be released into the U.S. economy through trusted stewards-normal people, many of them veterans-to inspire a job creation and new construction boom such as we have not seen since the aftermath of World War II. The massive investments in mostly black inner cities and mostly white impoverished rural areas is part of this deal."

Kennedy retirement rumors shift into overdrive

Like clockwork, Washington has whipped itself into a frenzy over rumors of a possible retirement on the Supreme Court.

All eyes are on Justice Anthony Kennedy, 81, who reportedly considered calling it quits last spring. As the court's current term winds to a close, speculation about his plans has again swept the capital, with court watchers searching for clues.

Those who say Kennedy is here to stay - at least for now - point to the fact that he's already hired his law clerks for the next term, as Above the Law reported.

"I don't think he would have hired all four clerks for next year if he was seriously entertaining stepping down," said Carl Tobias, a University of Richmond School of Law professor. "I just don't think it's going to happen."

But Ian Samuel, a Climenko Fellow and lecturer on law at Harvard Law, who clerked for the late Justice Antonin Scalia, said the small number of cases the court has granted could signal Kennedy is throwing in the towel. The court has only agreed to hear 15 cases so far next term.

"One possibility is they are not granting cases because they don't know who their ninth member is going to be. ... You could imagine Kennedy telling the chief, 'I'd like to keep this between us, but I'd like to retire,' and the chief saying, 'Let's see who Kennedy's replacement is before we grant all these cases,'" Samuel said.

Some said the presence of Kennedy's wife at the final oral arguments of the term could be a sign he's on the way out the door. When Mary Davis was spotted in the courtroom on April 25, the press corps started buzzing about whether she was there to hear her husband's last round of questioning from the bench. But SCOTUSblog's Mark Walsh reported that the wives of Breyer, Alito and Gorsuch were seated in the VIP section too.

Republicans on Capitol Hill have practically been willing Kennedy to retire, which would give the GOP's Senate majority time to confirm his replacement before the midterm elections.

Sen. Dean Heller (R-Nev.), who is facing a tough reelection race, announced in a speech in March that "Kennedy will retire sometime around early summer," Politico reported.

And last week Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) told conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt he hopes a retirement is announced soon, if there's one coming.

"I hope it's now or within two or three weeks, because we've got to get this done before the election," he said, adding a specific message to the justices: "If you're thinking about quitting this year, do it yesterday."

Kennedy, who was appointed to the bench in 1988 by President Ronald Regan, has gained notoriety as a moderate and pivotal swing voter on the court. He sided with liberals to legalize same-sex marriage, for instance, but helped the court's conservatives strike down limits on campaign contributions.

If he were to step down, it would give President Trump his second chance to appoint a justice - and this time his pick could shift the ideological balance of the high court decisively to the right.

Artemus Ward, a political science professor at Northern Illinois University who wrote the book "Deciding To Leave: The Politics of Retirement from the United States Supreme Court," said if Kennedy is going to retire, now is the time to do it.

"Grassley is trying to put public pressure on him to do it now because they may lose control of the Senate," he said.

Though liberal on gay rights, Ward noted that Kennedy is, after all, still a Republican.

"This might be his last chance in life to retire under a Republican president and a Republican-controlled Senate," he said.

Occasionally, the justices will announce or at least signal their plans to retire at their reunions with their former law clerks. Kennedy holds one of those reunions every five years.

Sam Erman, an associate law professor at the University of Southern California Gould School of Law who clerked for Kennedy, said he's heard no indication that the justice plans to step down.

Chief Justice John Roberts could also announce Kennedy's plans on the last day of the term; in fact, many expect him to deliver the news if the rumors are true.

"It's entirely possible that Kennedy says on the last day, 'Peace. I'm out,'" said Josh Blackman, an associate professor of law at the South Texas College of Law in Houston.

But with such a leaky White House, experts aren't expecting Trump to get a heads up if Kennedy retires.

"That sounds less crazy to me than Kennedy saying, 'I'm tired of being the most powerful man in legal society,'" he said.

Trump Just Notched Another Four Judicial Confirmations

The Senate confirmed four of President Donald Trump's judicial nominees to federal appeals courts this week, bringing his total number of circuit court appointments to 21.

Two nominees to the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, Michael Scudder and Amy St. Eve, were confirmed on unanimous votes Monday, as they were selected in consultation with Illinois' two U.S. senators, Democratic Sens. Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth. Senators generally have special prerogatives for judicial vacancies arising in their states, and the 7th Circuit is based in Chicago.

"The unanimous, swift confirmations of Judges St. Eve and Scudder attest to the value of a collaborative selection process," University of Richmond School of Law professor Carl Tobias told The Daily Caller News Foundation. "White House Counsel appeared to carefully consult home state Democratic Senators Durbin and Duckworth, who strongly supported the nominees."

"Two experienced, mainstream individuals rapidly and smoothly joined the court and reduce its vacancies without the rancor and divisiveness that have attended other circuit nomination and confirmation processes," he added. (RELATED: Supreme Court Should Rely On 'Living Constitution' Surveys Show)

Though neither nominee has a high profile in Washington, D.C., both are well thought of in conservative legal circles.

Scudder was a partner in the Chicago offices of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom concentrating in commercial litigation and white collar crime. He previously worked for the George W. Bush Justice Department, served as general counsel of the National Security Council, and clerked for Justice Anthony Kennedy on the U.S. Supreme Court. St. Eve was a judge on the federal trial court in Chicago. She was a federal prosecutor and worked on the Whitewater investigation prior to her appointment to the bench in 2002.

Scudder and St. Eve are the president's third and fourth appointments to the Chicago-based federal appeals court. The Senate confirmed Michael Brennan on May 10th and Amy Coney Barrett in November 2017. There are 11 judges on the 7th Circuit.

Senators confirmed another two nominees Tuesday. Joel Carson, a part-time federal magistrate and partner in the law practice of Carson Ryan LLC, was confirmed to the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on a 77-21 vote. The 10th Circuit is based in Denver and covers six states in the Great Plains and Rocky Mountain west. The chamber also confirmed John Nalbandian to the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on a 53-45 vote. Nalbandian spent most of his career in private practice at Taft Stettinius & Hollister in Ohio and is close to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

The Senate has now confirmed 21 Trump nominees to the federal appellate courts. The 13 circuit courts issue final decisions in the overwhelming majority of federal cases.

There are currently 32 district court nominees and one circuit court nominee pending before the Senate.

Sessions reveals secret witness to Flynn FBI interview…….



A few very important things happened today:

1) https://twitter.com/drawandstrike/status/995085987255668736 Here is a long discussion, but basically Charles Grassley called in Joe Pientka to testify.

Never heard that name before? That's the OTHER FBI agent with Deep Stroke who interviewed Flynn & who said Flynn didn't lie. You say, "Wait, why haven't we heard that name?" Because Sessions/Horowitz had him on ice for six months. They knew this six months ago. See why there are things going on here that don't fit the "sleepy Jeff" meme?

So here's what this means: Pientka will testify Flynn didn't lie. Now they have Deep Stroke: he either will confirm (i.e., the truth) or will lie and risk perjury. If he confirms, they will have two witnesses saying MCCABRE CHANGED THE 302 summary of the interrogation.

(It almost certainly is McCabre: he is high enough that he could do it and not require changes in multiple documents).

So now we have McCabre giving a phony 302 as evidence to Contreras. Since DOJ/Sessions/Horowitz already had the info from Pientka, they send that info to Justice Anthony Kennedy, who yanks Contreras (and he may be charged later). New judge Sullivan instructs Mulehead to turn over "all exulpatory evidence."

2) Now the question is "when did Flynn know this?" and the answer is probably, "a long, long time ago." And if he knew, then our theory that he allowed himself to be set up as part of a sting has merit. Meanwhile, does Mulehead know the 302 was false? There are three answers:
a) Yes, he's a bad guy, and he goes ahead anyway
b) No, and it doesn't matter if he's a good guy or bad guy, McCabre gives him a phony & he think's it's real
c) No, and he's in on the sting and plays his role.

3) This is very, very important: Sessions/Horowitz had Pientka's name for a half a year and IT NEVER LEAKED. This is how good their investigation is.

BUT THE FACT THAT THEY ALLOWED GRASSLEY TO MAKE THIS NAME PUBLIC NOW IS BIG. It suggests they don't need to protect the whistleblower anymore because it's endgame.

4) So Nunes/Gowdy go up to DOJ and come back with nothing. Why? Because Sessions/Horowitz said, "Be patient. We almost have them. If we start releasing names now, not only will you know, but Schifty will leak everything to the public and we stand a chance of blowing some cases." Nunes & Gowdy agree to come back in a week. That should tell us that the IG will have something ready in a week.

5) Now, on this cake put on the frosting: We now know the FBI planted a spy in the Trump campaign. This is serious Deep Coup stuff and we should see axes falling soon.

Today Rush hypothesized that Trump doesn't just de-classify these because he likes being the underdog politically. I think it's much more serious--that Trump understands real people's lives, from CIs to spies abroad to allies' agents are at serious risk here, and he isn't about to do that. He doesn't need to. This is ALL going his way. Rush keeps inching toward our position, only to pull back. He may get there someday.

Q Research General #1728: Pulling The E-Bake Edition

BAKER NOTABLE

This is not mine but a good source.


A few very important things happened today:

1) https://twitter.com/drawandstrike/status/995085987255668736

"Here is a long discussion, but basically Charles Grassley called in Joe Pientka to testify.

Never heard that name before? That's the OTHER FBI agent with Deep Stroke who interviewed Flynn & who said Flynn didn't lie. You say, "Wait, why haven't we heard that name?" Because Sessions/Horowitz had him on ice for six months. They knew this six months ago. See why there are things going on here that don't fit the "sleepy Jeff" meme?

So here's what this means: Pientka will testify Flynn didn't lie. Now they have Deep Stroke: he either will confirm (i.e., the truth) or will lie and risk perjury. If he confirms, they will have two witnesses saying MCCABRE CHANGED THE 302 summary of the interrogation.

(It almost certainly is McCabre: he is high enough that he could do it and not require changes in multiple documents).

So now we have McCabre giving a phony 302 as evidence to Contreras.

Q Research General #1552: Once More Over The Target Edition

>>1238852
Judge has a soft spot for bad people who kill cops AND a connection to SC Kennedy:

On March 15, U.S. District Court Judge Nicholas G. Garaufis vacated a second death sentence imposed on Ronell Wilson for the execution-style murders of two NYPD detectives in Tompkinsville in 2003. When asked why he had shot the two officers, Wilson sneered, "I don't give a f— about anybody." Then, at his most recent sentencing, he proved it, sticking his tongue out at their grieving families. A prior capital sentence meted out to him was overturned by a controversial appellate ruling that evoked a vehement dissent.

Sparing his life once again, Judge Garaufis held that the former gang member and rap lyricist suffers from an "intellectual disability" that manifests itself in "significant defects in adaptive reasoning." The judge conceded, however, that the consensus among mental health professionals would likely be that Wilson does not suffer from any such disability at all. Nevertheless, he said, his ruling was compelled by the Supreme Court's 2014 decision in Hall v. Florida. In that case, the court's four liberal justices, joined by ==Justice Anthony Kennedy==, expanded the definition of intellectual disability beyond what it has long been recognized to be by most mental health professionals. Prosecutors have not yet decided whether to pursue an appeal of Garaufis's ruling.

The New York Times Editorial Board is asking 81-year-old Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy not to leave the court amid rumors of his impending retirement https://cnn.it/2HzlYsp

Q Research General #1319 Shattering The Darkness II

>>1057351
Not new but definitely related. SC Justice Elena Kagen.
Before Clinton left office, he nominated Kagan to serve on the U.S. Court of Appeals D.C. Circuit. Her nomination languished with the Senate Judiciary Committee, however, and in 1999 Kagan returned to higher education. Starting as a visiting professor at Harvard Law, Kagan quickly climbed the ladder from professor in 2001 to dean in 2003. During her five years as the dean of Harvard Law, Kagan made big changes at the institution, including faculty expansion, curriculum changes and the development of new campus facilities.
First Female Solicitor General

After fellow Harvard alumnus Barack Obama won the 2008 presidential election, he selected Kagan for the role of solicitor general. In January 2009, Kagan received her endorsement from the previous solicitors general and was confirmed by the U.S. Senate on March 19, 2009. With her confirmation, she became the first woman to serve as solicitor general of the United States.
Supreme Court Justice

Just two months after her confirmation as solicitor general, President Obama nominated Kagan to replace Justice John Paul Stevens on the Supreme Court bench after his retirement. On August 5, 2009, she was confirmed by Senate with a vote of 63-37, making her the fourth woman to sit on the high court. At 50 years old, she also became the youngest member of the current court, as well as the only justice on the bench who has no previous judicial experience. In addition, her approval put three female justices-Kagan, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor-on the country's highest court for the first time in U.S. history.

In 2015, Kagan continued to make history when she sided with the majority in two landmark Supreme Court rulings. On June 25 she was one of the six justices to uphold a critical component of the 2010 Affordable Care Act-often referred to as Obamacare-in King v. Burwell. The decision allows the federal government to continue providing subsidies to Americans who purchase health care through "exchanges," regardless of whether they are state or federally operated. Kagan is considered to have been instrumental in the ruling, having introduced logic in favor of the law during oral arguments earlier in the case. The majority ruling, read by Chief Justice John Roberts, was a massive victory for President Barack Obama and makes the Affordable Care Act difficult to undo. Conservative justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Antonin Scalia were in dissent, with Scalia presenting a scathing dissenting opinion to the Court.

On June 26, the Supreme Court handed down its second historic decision in as many days, with Kagan again joining the majority (5-4) ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges that made same-sex marriage legal in all 50 states. Although Kagan had made the statement during her 2009 confirmation hearings that "there is no federal constitutional right to same-sex marriage," her comments during oral arguments suggested she had perhaps changed her opinion. She was joined in the majority by Justices Anthony Kennedy, Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, with Roberts reading the dissenting opinion this time.

Appears that even SC Justices (appointed by BHO) are overstepping boundaries…. the corruption knows no limits with these people

Justice Anthony Kennedy chided Justice Sonia Sotomayor during Tuesday's U.S. Supreme Court arguments in a closely watched abortion case after she discussed what she found on the website of one of the anti-abortion petitioners, scoffing that he himself didn't "go beyond the record to look on the internet because I don't think we should do that."

Good to hear only one more step.

I don't have quite enough info to answer the rest of your questions though, although I DO know that there is a scandal brewing at the SC because of Ruth Bader Ginsburg replacing someone killed by the Clinton machine, Anthony Kennedy, I don't have any sauce on him and Sonya Soothsayer is corrupt as hell.

John Roberts is in a mess himself because he's got adopted Italian Children that are undocumented and that leaves him vulnerable to blackmail.

I'm honestly not sure who sits on the SC that ISN'T comped.

I would like to know how the courts are *shown* to be corrupt… we all know that they are.

They also believe that Ruth Bader Ginsburg will be stepping down very soon from the Supreme Court and that they were the reason that Anthony Kennedy announced his upcoming retirement from the Supreme Court.

We have no evidence that any of these claims are true, but we felt the need to report on these rampant rumors regarding Russian bots that have been circulating. Donald Trump Jr. has reposted a meme that was generated by a random Russian Bot. The Russian Bots also believe that President Donald Trump is communicating with them directly through groups of tweets, misspellings, random pictures, and the letter Q.

Q Research General #786: Chuck Todd is a Sleepy Son of a Bitch Edition

Need help, Anons.

Q told us to dig into the Clinton Foundation

So I'm reading an old Glen Greenwald article on the Intercept, and he says this:

Indeed, as I documented in April, Clinton-defending Democrats have now become the most vocal champions of the primary argument used by the Citizens United majority. "We now conclude," wrote Justice Anthony Kennedy for the Citizens United majority, "that independent expenditures, including those made by corporations, do not give rise to corruption or the appearance of corruption." That is now exactly the argument Clinton loyalists are spouting to defend the millions in donations from tyrannical regimes (as well as Wall Street banks and hedge funds): Oh, there's no proof there's any corruption going on with all of this money.

Richard C. Streeter III says:
"March 15, 2010 at 3:10 pm
I am now 67 years old. My experience in school was very similar to yours. I attended an all Italian, all Catholic school, even though it was a public school. On religious day everyone would go for religious instructions at the big Catholic Church two blocks away. I was the only kid left in the room. The other kids would try to get me to go with them just to get out of school, as they did. Since I am the son of two ordained ministers of the Gospel, I did not choose to go.

My parents instilled in me a great respect for all religions. Long story short, I am the visionary and founder of The InterFaith Forum in Rochester New York, established during the Gulf war crisis. (1991) I now live in Las Vegas and am attempting to establish an interfaith dialogue here.

If our nation ever needed interfaith interaction, it is now a summation point"



Author Francis Bellemy 1892, a Baptist Minister, a Christian Socialist
When the pledge was read in public schools, the children raise thier right arms, palm down and slowly lowered their right arms down to their sides. (the Bellemy salute aka in later years as Hitlers salute)



I pleadge Allegence to 'my" flag and to the Republic for which it stands
One Nation, Indivisible, With Liberty and Justice for all.



The Daughters of the American Revolution in 1924 changed it to:

I pleadge Allegence to "the" Flag, removing the word "my" flag.




Franklin Rossevelt WW2 1942 Pledge changed and added

"The Flag of the United States of America
and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation,
indivisible, with liberty and justice for all"
Franklin Roosevelt also changed the hand salute to hand over heart because of Hitler using the Bellemy Salute.

In 1953 Knights of Columbus requested "one nation, under God" and was added in 1954.
In 1954, Harry S. Truman signed a law changing the Pledge of Alligence as the Nations Pledge and as LAW and a Public Prayer.

I pledge alligence to the flag of the United States of America
And to the Republic for which it stands,
One Nation, Indivisible, With Liberty and Justice for all.

In 1998, Michael Newdow, an atheist, started his agenda campaign and sued his elementary school daughter's school district to invalidate the Pledge as a violation of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the US Constitution. He sued until 2002, where the Federal 9th Circuitagreed with him except that the now ex wife took the fight the the US Supreme Court, where the decision was overturned on technical grounds. He was no longer the custodial parent and the Supreme court was not to judicate in a custody issue that should be a State court decision.
What is interesting about this case is two things.

1) Antone Scalia disqualified himself from the case because of public statements he made earlier criticizing the Ninth Circuit ruling. (Didn't he die in California?)

2) The five justices in the majority include the four considered to constitute the court's moderate-to-liberal wing-Paul Stevens, Stephen Breyer, Ruth Ginsburg and David Souter. The fifth justice signing onto the majority decision is Anthony Kennedy, who often blocs with the Court's right-wing faction.

"This action by the four supposedly liberal justices is a craven evasion of an important constitutional matter. It is undoubtedly influenced both by the generally compromised and cowardly posture of American liberalism in the face of growing attacks on democratic rights, and specific political pressures connected to the upcoming presidential election. Those justices inclined to support Democratic candidate John Kerry over George W. Bush are eager to sidestep the substantive issue in the case for fear of the right-wing backlash that would inevitably have been orchestrated by the Republicans in the event of a ruling upholding the lower court."

Then Antonin Scalia spoke up. More than anyone, Scalia was responsible for transforming the dynamics of oral arguments at the Supreme Court. When Scalia became a Justice, in 1986, the Court sessions were often somnolent affairs, but his rapid-fire questioning spurred his colleagues to try to keep pace, and, as Roberts said, in a tribute to Scalia on his twenty-fifth anniversary as a Justice, "the place hasn't been the same since." Alternately witty and fierce, Scalia invariably made clear where he stood.
He had long detested campaign-spending restrictions, frequently voting to invalidate such statutes as violations of the First Amendment. For this reason, it seemed, Scalia was disappointed by the limited nature of Olson's claim.
_
In one sense, the story of the Citizens United case goes back more than a hundred years. It begins in the Gilded Age, when the Supreme Court barred most attempts by the government to ameliorate the harsh effects of market forces. In that era, the Court said, for the first time, that corporations, like people, have constitutional rights. The Progressive Era, which followed, saw the development of activist government and the first major efforts to limit the impact of money in politics. Since then, the sides in the continuing battle have remained more or less the same: progressives (or liberals) vs. conservatives, Democrats vs. Republicans, regulators vs. libertarians. One side has favored government rules to limit the influence of the moneyed in political campaigns; the other has supported a freer market, allowing individuals and corporations to contribute as they see fit. Citizens United marked another round in this contest.
_
When the Court announced its final ruling on Citizens United, on January 21, 2010, the vote was five to four and the majority opinion was written by Anthony Kennedy. Above all, though, the result represented a triumph for Chief Justice Roberts. Even without writing the opinion, Roberts, more than anyone, shaped what the Court did.
_
Bossie decided to transform Citizens United into a movie studio, which would produce conservative documentaries. In the period leading up to the 2008 election, the Presidential candidacy of Hillary Clinton was an irresistible subject, given Bossie's long history of opposing her and her husband. "Hillary: The Movie" was typical of the Citizens United oeuvre. It included news footage, spooky music, and a series of interviews with dedicated and articulate partisans. ("She's driven by the power, she's driven to get the power, that is the driving force in her life," Bay Buchanan, the activist and the sister of Pat Buchanan, said. "She's deceitful, she'll make up any story, lie about anything, as long as it serves her purposes of the moment, and the American people are going to catch on to it," Dick Morris, the estranged former Clinton Administration adviser, said. _
In 2002, Congress passed the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act, usually called the McCain-Feingold law, after its original sponsors. One of the primary targets of the new law was the increasingly meaningless distinction between candidate advertisements and "issue" advertisements. For years, individuals, corporations, and labor unions had spent millions on ads that denounced candidates but technically avoided the specific language that turned a commercial into a "campaign" ad. McCain-Feingold sought to address this problem by prohibiting corporate and union funding of broadcast ads mentioning a candidate within thirty days of a primary or a caucus or within sixty days of a general election.
The McCain-Feingold law prompted the right-to-life group in Wisconsin to go to Bopp with a problem. The state had two Democratic senators, Russell Feingold and Herb Kohl, who supported abortion rights. In the run-up to the election of 2004, when Feingold was on the ballot, the right-to-life group wanted to run radio and television ads that addressed his record of opposing Bush's judicial nominees. _

TL;DR

Mika has family linage that stretches back to a Czechoslovakia President and her extended family have a heavy focus on international diplomacy and foreign affairs. Assume this is what Q means about being "'born in' to the circle."

She has connections to 9/11 and was broadcasting live when Building 7 fell.

She has connections to Harvey Weinstein who published her book.

McLean Virginia seems to a location of particular significance due to being the location of the CIA Headquarters, Office of the Director of National Intelligence and a high density of cabal members - e.g. Dick Cheney, Colin Powell, Supreme Court Justices, US Sentors and SA diplomats.

>corporations the right to donate to political entities was bandwagoned by industry


In a stunning reversal of the nation's federal campaign finance laws, the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 Thursday that free-speech rights permit groups like corporations and labor unions to directly spend on political campaigns, prompting the White House to pledge "forceful" action to undercut the decision.

In a written statement, President Obama said the high court had "given a green light to a new stampede of special interest money in our politics." He called it a "major victory" for Wall Street, health insurance companies and other interests which would diminish the influence of Americans who give small donations. Obama pledged to "work immediately" with Congress to develop a "forceful response."

"The public interest requires nothing less," Obama said.

Siding with filmmakers of "Hillary: The Movie," who were challenged by the Federal Election Commission on their sources of cash to pay for the film, the court overturned a 20-year-old ruling that banned corporate and labor money. The decision threatens similar limits imposed by 24 states.

The justices also struck down part of the landmark McCain-Feingold campaign finance bill that barred union- and corporate-paid issue ads in the closing days of election campaigns.

Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote the main opinion, which reads in part that there is "no basis for allowing the government to limit corporate independent expenditures."

"There is no basis for the proposition that, in the political speech context, the government may impose restrictions on certain disfavored speakers," he wrote. "The government may regulate corporate speech through disclaimer and disclosure requirements, but it may not suppress that speech altogether."

Dissenters included Justices John Paul Stevens, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer and Sonia Sotomayor.

"The notion that the First Amendment dictated [today's ruling] is, in my judgment, profoundly misguided," Stevens wrote for the others.

"In the context of election to public office, the distinction between corporate and human speakers is significant. Although they make enormous contributions to our society, corporations are not actually members of it," he added.

The ruling is sure to send a jolt to political campaigns throughout the country that are gearing up for the 2010 midterm elections. It will also impact the 2012 presidential race and federal elections to come.

Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain, whose name bears the law that was upended Thursday, said he hadn't read the decision but thought that it was headed that way when he listened to arguments presented last fall. McCain said he does not think it completely repudiates the law he wrote with Wisconsin Democratic Sen. Russ Feingold.

Feingold issued a statement that notes the decision does not overturn the ban on soft money donations to political parties, which can then distribute cash to candidates.

"But this decision was a terrible mistake," he said. "This court has just upended that prohibition, and a century's worth of campaign finance law designed to stem corruption in government. The American people will pay dearly for this decision when, more than ever, their voices are drowned out by corporate spending in our federal elections."

The case involves the film by conservative group Citizens United, which criticized then-presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton during the 2008 Democratic presidential primary campaign.

Citizens United planned to air ads promoting its distribution through cable television video-on-demand services. The FEC said the film amounted to a campaign ad and that Citizens United, an incorporated entity that takes corporate money, could only use limited, disclosed contributions from individuals to promote and broadcast it.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, AFL-CIO, National Rifle Association and other groups sided with Citizens United in calling a loosening of restrictions.

Damn. The fix was in for Scalia back in 2015.

"..The issue concerns the possibility that an opening may occur on the U.S. Supreme Court before he leaves office. There is no guarantee, of course. Liberal Ruth Bader Ginsburg turned 82 last week and has had cancer. But she remains vigorous and insists she has no intention of stepping down soon.

Conservative Antonin Scalia turned 79 two weeks ago but also appears full of vim and vinegar. Frequent swing-voter Anthony Kennedy is 78.

So there are possibilities. But the conventional wisdom in Washington is that the new Republican-controlled Senate would not confirm any Obama Supreme Court nominee. .."
