    Former Trump White House adviser Peter Navarro must report to prison on Tuesday as scheduled, after the Supreme Court on Monday denied the stay of his sentence. Chief Justice John Roberts, in a short opinion, wrote that he saw "no reason to disagree" with lower courts, which also rejected Navarro's request. Navarro's appeal on the merits remains pending, but he will have to begin serving his sentence in the meantime. Navarro was ordered on March 11 to report to prison in Miami on Tuesday, to serve a four-month sentence. He was convicted in September of two counts of contempt of...

    The Supreme Court on Monday indefinitely extended its block on a Texas law that would give police broad powers to arrest migrants suspected of illegally entering the U.S. while the legal battle it sparked over immigration authority plays out WASHINGTON -- The Supreme Court on Monday indefinitely extended its block on a Texas law that would give police broad powers to arrest migrants suspected of illegally entering the U.S. while the legal battle it sparked over immigration authority plays out. The one-page order signed by Justice Samuel Alito did not set a deadline, instead extending the stay “pending further order.”...

    It's time to say non merci to cuisses de grenouille.The French love their frog legs. Apparently, a little too much. Eating frog legs has been a French pastime for hundreds of years, beginning with a few ingenious monks who had the Church classify them as fish rather than meat, bypassing religious rules of only eating meat on certain days. However, now, estimates state that French diners consume some 4,000 tons of frog legs a year, putting a few species of amphibians in peril. A group of more than 500 environmentalists, including participants from the French nonprofits Robin des Bois and...

    Houston Chronical ^ | March 18, 2024 | Benjamin Wermund
    The Supreme Court on Monday indefinitely delayed a Texas law that would empower state authorities to arrest and deport migrants, an effort by Republican legislators to give the state immigration enforcement powers long left solely to the federal government. For the second time, Justice Samuel Alito extended a stay halting the law, known as Senate Bill 4. The order was released minutes after a 4 p.m. deadline, prompting initial confusion over whether the court decided to let the law stand. Alito offered no explanation in the single-page order and did not set a deadline on the latest extension, blocking the...

    This morning the Supreme Court held oral argument in the case that is now styled Murthy v. Missouri. C-SPAN has posted audio of the oral argument here. The case arises from the government’s “encouragement” of censorship by the social media platforms, as documented in the Twitter Files. We have followed the case as it has wended its way through the district court to the Fifth Circuit and then to the Supreme Court. We (I) have been pulling for the plaintiffs. The Supreme Court has already entered an order staying the narrowed preliminary injunction that had been fashioned by the Fifth...

    Free speech is on trial at the Supreme Court, but Justice Kentanji Brown Jackson is no fan of the First Amendment. The Constitution, you see, limits the government. But leftists want unlimited government — which is why they hate the Constitution. During Monday’s oral arguments for Murthy v. Missouri, formerly known as Biden v. Missouri, Jackson claimed to oppose any ruling in favor of Americans’ constitutional right to free speech if it limited the government’s ability to censor that speech via Big Tech. “My biggest concern is that your view has the First Amendment hamstringing the government in significant ways...

    Federal courts in blue states seem to be upholding the majority of gun control laws, even after landmark Supreme Court decisions upholding the fundamental right to keep and bear arms. We recently posted about the New York Second Amendment case challenging New York’s concealed carry permit law that requires that a permit applicant prove to a local official that he or she is of “good moral character.” Not only is this an absurd requirement (how exactly are you supposed to prove that you have “good moral character”), but even after doing so, said local official then has complete discretion on...

    Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that if the Supreme Court did not act with “great speed” on the question of presidential immunity, they are “making a deliberate decision” to push special counsel Jack Smith 2020 election interference trial past the election. Anchor Dana Bash said, “It seems as though the Trump strategy to delay these cases is paying off. Do you think there’s a chance that he might not stand trial in any of these cases before election day?”

    SCOTUS disappointed Trump’s political enemies, too, when it agreed late last month to review lower-court rulings that rejected his claims of presidential immunity from criminal prosecution. They’ll hear oral arguments in that case on April 22, about the same time that the DOJ had hoped to be convicting the former president.But another J6 case, ignored in major media, is scheduled to be heard next month, too, on April 16. Its outcome could significantly reduce the sentences of J6ers, even to the point of releasing some from prison immediately.In Fischer v. USA, SCOTUS will decide whether DOJ lawfully applied a section...

    Christine Blasey Ford will release a memoir five years after she accused then-Supreme Court Justice nominee Brett Kavanaugh of assaulting her. Ford’s memoir, One Way Back, is slated for public release on March 19, and the central topic is her allegations against Kavanaugh. According to Ford, Kavanaugh groped her during a gathering at a house in suburban Maryland in 1982. Kavanaugh vehemently denied the accusations from Ford, in addition to the two other women who stepped forward with claims of misconduct. “The fact is, he was there in the room with me that night in 1982,” an excerpt reads. “And...

    A new petition for certiorari to the U.S. Supreme Court poses an interesting question: Can the feds set up a Constitution-violating racist program, hand out money under it, and then when a lawsuit challenges it, drop the program and say the case is over? That's the substance of a fight that has developed because of Joe Biden's American Rescue Plan Act that designated $4 billion to forgive loans to farmers, but excluded white farmers. The scheme, in fact, was set up to cancel loans for non-white farmers, plus give them a cash-back bonus of 20% more than they borrowed. Actually,...

    Joe Biden, amped up on “carbs” according to the White House, threatened Supreme Court justices seated a few feet away in the House chamber during the State of the Union address Thursday night. Speaking about the court’s ruling putting abortion back in the hands of the states, Biden looked the justices in the eye, botched the line, but the threat was clear. Six of the nine justices were in attendance: Chief Justice John Roberts along with Justices Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson. Retired Justice Anthony Kennedy also attended. Biden: “With all due respect,...

    On the day Donald Trump was scheduled to stand trial in Washington for charges related to the events of January 6, the Supreme Court instead delivered a death blow to the Insurrection. Obituary RIP, Insurrection. A young political life with such promise cut short after suffering a series of debilitating injuries over the past three years. Not even the hubris of Liz Cheney, faux outrage of Jamie Raskin, fake tears of Michael Fanone and Don Lemon, podium-pounding screeds of Joe Biden, or nonstop life-sustaining efforts by the entirety of the national news media could save it. Date of death: March...

    American Thinker ^ | 03/05/2024 | Matthew G. Andersson
    It is instructive for all Americans that the U.S. Supreme Court just ruled unanimously in President Trump’s favor, concerning what should have been an obvious legal fact in constitutional law. The Court asserted that Section 3 of the 14th Amendment (an “insurrection” disqualification, originally aimed at post–Civil War Confederate candidates who might otherwise have had differing views on whether, or from whom, there was an “insurrection”) is not within the purview of the states and is, rather, a potential congressional judgment. The more conservative justices also noted that such a potential latitude of Congress is still subject to judicial review,...
  • Justices Try To Shroud Differences With Trump DQ Ruling

    The U.S. Supreme Court issued a purportedly unanimous decision Monday finding states cannot bar federal candidates from appearing on ballots, but a closer look at the justices' writings — and the opinion's metadata — reveals a sharp divide that court watchers say was papered over in an effort to preserve the court's institutional legitimacy. The caption on Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson's six-page concurrence claiming the court went too far in its per curiam opinion looks normal to the naked eye. But when the top line listing the participating justices is selected with a triple-click, copied...

    U.S. — In a landmark decision, the entire cast of The View has voted to overturn the Supreme Court's overturning of the Colorado Supreme Court's decision to remove Trump from the ballot. "These Supreme Court justices are schmucks!" exclaimed beloved TV personality and law expert Joy Behar after receiving word of the ruling. "Everyone knows the Constitution, or the Declaration of Freedom — or whatever that piece of paper is called — clearly states that Trump should never be on the ballot. Because he's clearly a fascist. Duh! Everyone knows that!" Sources say that hosts Behar, along with entertainer Whoopi...
