Aileen Cannon’s Trump Ruling Likely to Be Reversed: Attorney
A situation like the one surrounding Aileen Cannon’s ruling on the Trump case is one that truly pushes the boundaries of what we expect from the justice system. As an attorney myself, I cannot help but be taken aback by the blatant disregard for established legal precedent and the seemingly biased nature of Cannon’s decision. The fact that a district judge could dismiss a case based on such flimsy grounds is a concerning indication of the state of our judicial system.
The arguments put forth by US attorney Joyce Vance in Smith’s brief clearly outlined the statutory authority for appointing him, drawing on significant legal precedents to support their case.… Continue reading
Texas suing the Biden administration to limit teenage access to birth control is a blatant attack on women’s rights and autonomy. The fact that a Texas mother, Carmen Robles Frost, has joined the suit claiming that birth control will “facilitate sexual promiscuity and weaken her ability to raise her children in accordance with Christian teachings” is nothing short of absurd. The idea that parents should have control over their children’s reproductive choices is archaic and dangerous.
It is crucial to understand that birth control serves various purposes beyond preventing pregnancy. Women and girls may require it for medical reasons such as regulating periods or managing conditions like Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.… 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 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
Alabama Supreme Court rules frozen embryos are children, imperiling IVF. The recent ruling by the Alabama Supreme Court that frozen embryos are to be considered children has sent shockwaves throughout the reproductive rights community. This decision not only challenges the very foundation of In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) but also raises ethical and legal questions that could have far-reaching implications.
The implications of this ruling are staggering. If a frozen embryo is considered a child, does that mean that every embryo stored in IVF clinics across the state is now legally a child? Can a woman claim these embryos as dependents on her taxes?… Continue reading
Supreme Court’s Conservatives Poised To Take Down Decades-Old Precedent
As I sit here and absorb the comments and sentiments surrounding the headline, “Supreme Court’s Conservatives Poised To Take Down Decades-Old Precedent,” I can’t help but feel a sense of frustration and sadness. It seems that once again, our country is on the brink of taking a step back in terms of progress and protecting the rights and well-being of its citizens.
The concerns raised by those who oppose the conservative push to dismantle these longstanding precedents are certainly valid. The potential consequences of such a decision are far-reaching and alarming. We are talking about the potential loss of essential protections for our environment, our health, and our safety.… Continue reading
