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. 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
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
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
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
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
I must admit, the recent decision by the Supreme Court upholding the ban on a former New Mexico official, Couy Griffin, from running for state office due to his involvement in the January 6 insurrection is a small victory in my eyes. The fact that someone who actively participated in an attack on the U.S. Capitol is being held accountable and barred from holding office within the state is a step in the right direction. This ruling signifies that individuals who engage in acts of sedition and violence should face consequences for their actions, especially when seeking public office.
The distinction made by the Supreme Court, between state and federal offices, is crucial to understanding the implications of this decision.… Continue reading
Peter Navarro, a former Trump White House official, has been dealt a blow by the Supreme Court. The highest court rejected his bid to remain free while he appeals his conviction for defying a subpoena from the Jan. 6 select committee. It is time for Prison Mike to face the consequences of his actions. The fact that Navarro thought he could escape prison shows a sense of entitlement and privilege that is all too common among the wealthy and powerful.
It is a moment of poetic justice to see someone who was once so close to the halls of power now facing time behind bars.… Continue reading
As a strong advocate for women’s rights and reproductive freedom, I am pleased to see President Biden doubling down on his criticism of the Supreme Court for overturning Roe v. Wade. The decision to end federal protections for abortion was a mistake, plain and simple. The essence of the ruling reflects the personal and religious motivations of certain justices, rather than a true interpretation of the Constitution.
It is imperative that we hold the Supreme Court accountable for their actions. President Biden is absolutely right to shine a spotlight on the failings of the Court, especially in light of the Dobbs ruling.… Continue reading
As I watched President Biden’s address where he boldly admonished the Supreme Court for overturning Roe v. Wade, I couldn’t help but feel a surge of pride. It was a moment of truth, of standing up against injustice and challenging the status quo. The power of his words resonated deeply, not just with me but with women across the nation who have been fighting tirelessly for their rights.
The Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade was not just a legal issue; it was a blatant disregard for women’s autonomy over their bodies. The notion that the Constitution does not protect women’s right to privacy regarding abortion is not just regressive; it is a dangerous precedent that threatens the very fabric of our society.… Continue reading
