Supreme Court will take up the legal fight over ghost guns, firearms without serial numbers

The Supreme Court has taken up the legal fight over ghost guns, firearms without serial numbers. This issue might seem straightforward on the surface, but it delves deeply into the realm of procedure and the legal system rather than just the definition of a firearm. The ATF has been redefining rules without going through Congress, leading to a lack of accountability and creating confusion for law-abiding citizens who are suddenly made into felons. This overreach by the agency is concerning and highlights the need for legislative action rather than agency discretion.

When it comes to manufacturing homemade firearms, the debate often centers around the concept of serial numbers.… Continue reading

The Supreme Court Has Already Botched the Trump Immunity Case

The Supreme Court’s handling of the Trump immunity case has been a complete disaster from the start. It’s incredibly frustrating to witness the highest legal body in the land tip-toeing around such a clear threat to our democracy. The mere fact that they decided to take up this case shows just how unstable our current system is. The delay tactics employed by the Court only serve to further erode the faith that Americans have in our institutions.

The arrogance displayed by the Supreme Court in pretending that this is a difficult decision is infuriating. It’s clear that the only reason they haven’t outright shut down Trump’s immunity claims is to give him the time he needs to avoid possible legal repercussions.… Continue reading

New York judge says Trump can’t attend Supreme Court arguments on presidential immunity

As I sit here reflecting on the recent news that the New York judge overseeing former President Trump’s hush money trial has barred him from attending Supreme Court arguments on presidential immunity, I can’t help but feel a sense of satisfaction. The fact that Trump won’t be able to play hooky from his trial to attend these arguments speaks volumes about the importance of accountability, even for someone who held the highest office in the land.

It’s clear that the judge’s decision to not allow Trump to be present at the Supreme Court arguments is a significant one. Despite Trump’s attempts to take time off from his trial, the judge has made it clear that the trial in New York is a big deal, and Trump is required to attend unless granted special permission.… Continue reading

Justice Thomas misses Supreme Court session Monday with no explanation

Justice Thomas missing the Supreme Court session on Monday with no explanation has sparked a storm of speculation and commentary across various platforms. The case being discussed, Snyder v. United States, is at the center of attention, dealing with the legality of using political gifts to influence court justices. The absence of Justice Thomas has led to a barrage of comments ranging from calls for his retirement to wild speculations about the reasons behind his absence.

It’s concerning to witness a Supreme Court Justice fail to show up for a crucial session without providing any explanation. The lack of transparency raises questions about accountability and commitment to the duties of the position.… Continue reading

Supreme Court denies Mike Lindell’s petition challenging FBI’s seizure of his cellphone

The Supreme Court’s decision to deny Mike Lindell’s petition challenging the FBI’s seizure of his cellphone is both unsurprising and somewhat satisfying. This guy, who has been on a relentless crusade to overturn the 2020 election results and defend Donald Trump at all costs, seems to have finally hit a brick wall. And honestly, it’s about time.

Lindell’s undying loyalty to Trump has led him down a rabbit hole of legal and financial troubles, culminating in the Supreme Court shutting down his attempt to challenge the FBI’s actions. This is just the latest in a string of setbacks for Lindell, who is facing defamation lawsuits and has even had his own lawyers quit over unpaid bills.… Continue reading

Clarence Thomas absent from US supreme court with no explanation

Clarence Thomas absent from US Supreme Court with no explanation. The news of Justice Thomas’s absence from oral arguments regarding the acceptance of illegal gifts has sparked a flurry of speculation and conspiracy theories. It is indeed perplexing that a member of the highest court in the land would not provide a valid reason for their absence, especially when the cases being discussed are of significant importance in determining the ethical standards of the judiciary.

The lack of transparency surrounding Justice Thomas’s absence raises questions about accountability and integrity within the Supreme Court. It is concerning that a justice who has accepted numerous gifts from wealthy Republicans, the very individuals who may have vested interests in the cases being discussed, would choose not to participate in the proceedings without explanation.… Continue reading

‘Profoundly ahistorical’: 4-star generals side with Jack Smith, tell Supreme Court Trump’s immunity claims are ‘assault’ on democracy

It is mind-boggling to witness the ongoing debate about presidential immunity in the United States. The fact that the Supreme Court is even considering the notion of one man being above the law is not just alarming but fundamentally goes against the very principles on which this nation was founded. The recent brief filed by a group of four-star generals, warning the Supreme Court about the dangers of upholding Trump’s immunity claims, speaks volumes about the state of our democracy.

As a citizen, it is both disheartening and enraging to see the highest court in the land engaging in what seems like a deliberate delay tactic rather than upholding the rule of law.… Continue reading

Judge rejects Donald Trump’s request to delay hush-money trial until Supreme Court rules on immunity

As I sit here reading about Donald Trump’s failed attempt to delay the hush-money trial until the Supreme Court rules on immunity, I can’t help but shake my head in disbelief. How can he possibly think that he is immune to facing consequences for his actions prior to becoming president? This man seems to believe that he is above the law, that the rules simply don’t apply to him.

It’s frustrating to watch him continuously try to manipulate the system, using every trick in the book to delay his conviction. His lawyers missing filing deadlines, raising immunity issues at the last minute, and failing to provide a valid reason for their delay is just the tip of the iceberg.… Continue reading

Retired Justice Stephen Breyer warns “law will turn into chaos” if Supreme Court overturns too many cases

Law will turn into chaos if the Supreme Court overturns too many cases, warns retired Justice Stephen Breyer. But let’s be honest, chaos is already here. The American legal system seems to be in a state of turmoil, with laws being manipulated to serve political and personal agendas rather than upholding justice. The recent overturning of longstanding precedents like Roe v. Wade raises questions about the stability and reliability of our legal framework. If the highest court in the land can simply discard established rulings based on personal beliefs, what does that say about the rule of law?

The lack of respect for precedent and stare decisis is alarming.… Continue reading

Supreme Court allows Texas to begin enforcing controversial immigration law

As a resident of Texas, the recent Supreme Court decision allowing the enforcement of the controversial immigration law has left me with mixed feelings. On one hand, I understand the need for border security and the enforcement of immigration laws. On the other hand, the potential for increased racial profiling and unjust detentions is deeply concerning.

The thought of police officers arresting individuals based on mere suspicion of being in the country illegally raises questions about the violation of civil rights and the potential for abuse of power. How can law enforcement officers determine someone’s immigration status without resorting to racial profiling?… Continue reading
