Lawsuits against Donald Trump brought by Capitol Police officers and Democratic lawmakers over the U.S. Capitol riot, can move forward, a federal appeals court ruled on Friday. A three-judge panel of the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals denied Trump’s request to dismiss the civil lawsuits that accuse him of inciting the violent mob on Jan. 6, 2021. But the court said it’s ruling was not the final word on whether presidential immunity shields the Republican from liability in the case and said the judges express “no view on the ultimate merits of the claims” against the former president. Trump had...

The Supreme Court on Monday announced it will hear a case that could significantly scale back federal agencies’ authority, with major implications for the future of environmental and other regulations. The justices next term will consider whether to overturn a decades-old precedent that grants agencies deference when Congress left ambiguity in a statute. Named for the court’s decision in Chevron U.S.A. v. Natural Resources Defense Council, the Chevron deference has become one of the most frequently cited precedents in administrative law since the decision was first handed down in 1984. It involves a two-step test: First, judges decide if Congress...

A three-judge federal appeals court said Tuesday the DOJ’s settlement with Fokker Services B.V. for alleged sanctions violations could go ahead after a district court judge rejected the arrangement as “anemic.” The U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington, DC said prosecutors and not judges make decisions to enter into deferred prosecution agreement with corporate defendants. In February 2015, federal district court judge Richard Leon refused to approve the settlement. He said the proposed $21 million penalty was “grossly disproportionate to the gravity of Fokker Sercvices’ conduct in a post-911 world.” Holland-based Fokker Services admitted in a 2014 plea deal that...

From the Thursday Morning Jolt:… Why Sri Srinivasan Might Not Be So Centrist or Moderate After All A conservative legal mind who watches the DC circuit closely writes in to the Morning Jolt, offering a cautionary note about the conventional wisdom that DC Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Sri Srinivasan represents one of President Obama's more centrist or moderate options for a Supreme Court nomination: You mentioned Judge Sri Srinivasan as a moderate falling somewhere between Souter and Kennedy. He is not likely to be a moderate. In fact, so far, his record as a judge on the D.C. Circuit...

Senate Republicans refusing to countenance filling the US supreme court vacancy have, so far, been able to make it a debate about abstract concepts. But when Barack Obama names his nominee, that is set to change. “They just keep digging themselves in a deeper and deeper hole,†Democratic senator Chuck Schumer said on Tuesday. “If anything, when the president nominates someone and there’s a real live person there, and I’m sure that person will be a very reasonable person to be on the court in the American people’s eyes, it’s going to get worse for them. It’s not going...
