Oil baron Philip Anschutz has hosted Neil Gorsuch for weekends of dove shooting at a mountain resort called ‘Eagles Nest.’
A resort named after Hilter’s getaway- are they all on the take? And Neil Gorsuch shooting doves. JFC rid of us these monsters. Shooting doves at a resort named after Hitler’s getaway.
If SCOTUS overturns the Chevron deference precedent in the upcoming Loper v. Raimondo case, he will benefit significantly.
Update: When Mitch McConnell was blocking Obama‘a Supreme Court nominee, holding open the seat that Neil Gorsuch would later fill, Anschutz gave $500,000 to McConnell’s Senate Leadership Fund (superPAC) on March 15, 2016.
Getting rid of Chevron is the holy grail for the libertarian & fascist republicans wingnuts billionaires who funded the fascist’s SCOTUS capture. There has never been any question in my mind that they would overturn it; only when/which case they would use to do so. And it’s looking like this one.
"SCOTUS probably overturning the #Chevron rule makes me feel sick, especially in light of GOP and Trump wanting to get rid of our Constitution. The U.S. will become less about the people and more about corporations, mafia-like governance, and a free-for-all discrimination"
The #corrupt#scotus#Court (and BTW, it isn't "supreme") "is out to do further damage to all the hard-won precedents we've had in this country for the last 50 years. They started with Roe, and now they're moving on. One by one. Buh-by, rights! We won't know this place in three years."
Oct 2 (Reuters) - Donald Trump and his family business are set to stand trial in New York on Monday in a civil fraud case that could deal a major blow to the former U.S. president’s real estate empire.
Experts to Examine a Controversial Forensic Test That Has Helped Convict #Women of #Murder
Responding to a ProPublica investigation into the “lung float test,” which some have likened to a witch trial, #lawyers and medical professionals will work to determine whether the test should be used in #court.
Child Welfare Officials Have Searched Her Home and Her Son Dozens of Times.
She’s Suing Them to Stop.
Despite no evidence a #mother mistreated her #child, New York City’s Administration for Children’s Services continues to enter her home without a warrant.
She has filed a #lawsuit, citing ProPublica’s reporting, arguing her rights are being violated.
Things got off to a rocky start at #Trump's #NY#fraud#trial. Trump lawyer #AlinaHabba went on a rant about how the #court denied Trump a #jury trial, and how unfair it is. Judge #Engoron had to interrupt her to explain that the reason why there's no jury is that she herself forgot to submit the appropriate request for one. I'd call this #AmateurHour, but that would be an insult to amateurs.
A Retired Detective Says He’s Too Sick to Testify at #Murder Trials. Now Those Cases Are Falling Apart.
In St. Louis, murder investigations often rely on a single #detective, making them vulnerable if the detective is unable or unwilling to come to court.
But a former #homicide investigator said he has no obligation to cooperate, claiming that “retirement is meant to be retirement.”
I thought Fani Willis owned the courtroom yesterday. I would not have done as well.
For anyone describing Fani Willis’ as defensive, combative, or “unhinged”, please show them the testimony of Justice Brett “I LIKE BEER” Kavanaugh so they can see what combative, defensive, and unhinged looks like.
#SCOTUS is “…far behind in issuing rulings for cases heard since the start of the term in Oct. The #court has announced just 5 decisions, leaving 92% of cases to be resolved b4 the term ends in late Jun or early Jul.
“…the court’s backlog represents the slowest pace of any term in the tenure of CJ #JohnRoberts. By Mar1 of the ‘05 term, the court had issued rulings in >⅓ of its cases. That dropped to 21% by this point in the ‘20 term. This yr, it is at 8%.”
President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Aug. 17 that he had signed a law changing how Constitutional Court judges are chosen, which is necessary to launch EU membership talks.
President #Biden will announce a new effort on Monday to reduce or eliminate #student#loan#debt for millions of borrowers,
an attempt to revive his goal of providing large-scale relief for Americans struggling to pay off their college loans, a person familiar with the plan said Friday.
Mr. Biden is expected to preview new regulations by the Education Department targeting millions of borrowers,
including those whose loans have ballooned because of accrued interest and others who can demonstrate financial hardship impeding repayment.
The proposed regulations are set to be published over the next few weeks.
Mr. Biden will speak about the effort during a visit to Wisconsin on Monday, which will coincide with an event on student loans with Vice President Kamala #Harris in Philadelphia.
The push is a recognition by Mr. Biden and his allies of the disappointment felt by his supporters
— especially young voters
— when the president’s first attempt to wipe out student debt was #blocked by the #Supreme#Court last summer.
The court said that the government exceeded its authority under federal law when it attempted to cancel up to $400 billion in student loans.
"1. Here's a link to the #Michigan#Supreme#Court order denying the appeal that would have addressed Donald Trump's qualification to be on the primary #ballot. Reading the dissent I'm stuck with a thought that the order may be subject to a collateral attack in the #USDC.
If I understand the ruling Michigan has delegated the authority to put people on the ballot to political parties. There' no statutory requirement that candidates meet lawful qualifications and might authorize a non-citizen to run for #president.
By ignoring the US #Constitution the Michigan legislature and now the Supreme Court have acted outside of their Constitutional #jurisdiction. The "parade of horribles" that this ruling would appear to authorize would arguably include Vladimir Putin being on the ballot, though I note that with Trump on it, Putin is as well."
The Blood Tribe was in front of the Supreme #Court of Canada Oct. 12 arguing against barring claims of breaches of the Crown’s #treaty obligations because of provincial time limitation.
The issue is that #Canada shorted the Blood Tribe on its reserve size, and the claim couldn’t have been brought before the #Constitution Act, 1982 was enacted.
An appeals court ruled, however, the claim was brought too late, after Alberta’s 6-year time limitation.
#SouthCarolina to use #CongressionalMap deemed #unconstitutional #SCOTUS heard arguments on the redistricting case in Oct but has yet to rule🤬, essentially running out the clock for the #2024election. A #federal#court ruled Thurs that time had run out to draw a new congressional district in #SC & said the state could use its existing map even though it had earlier determined that map was unconstitutional.
#Georgia DA rebuts defense’s protected “political speech” / #1A argument because this isn’t about lying in #PoliticalSpeech, it’s about filing false documents & making false statements to the #court & the government.
Additionally, the lies were employed as a part of #criminal conduct & not protected.
Overt act in a criminal #conspiracy
The purpose of presenting the overt acts is to show that it is part of the overall operation – the #CriminalConspiracy.
