The decision revives a lawsuit against a Texas officer who shot a driver after endangering himself by jumping onto a moving car. ============================================================= During a routine traffic stop near Houston in 2016, a police officer killed Ashtian Barnes by blindly firing two shots into his car after jumping onto the doorsill as Barnes began to drive away. Last year, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit ruled that the shooting was justified by the threat that the officer, Harris County Constable Roberto Felix Jr., faced when he shot Barnes. Last Thursday, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously rejected the...

WHAT’S THE DEAL WITH THE FRAUDULENT JUSTICE AMY CONEY BARRETT? Barrett sided with loony lib justices and Tren de Aragua gangs last week, after throwing J6 political hostages under the bus last year in another example of her despicable interpretation of the law (where she again sided with vindictive libs). This reporter asked Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt the administration’s comment on Barrett’s decision at today’s Press Briefing at The White House. See her response HERE:

Catturd ™ @catturd2 Everything wrong with justice, the Supreme Court, the rule of law, the real Constitution, all in one picture. Amy Commie Barrett is a joke and a loser - and these Karens are hellbent on destroying the judiciary branch. Imagine losing our country, freedom, and the rule of law over these four utter clowns? 7:05 PM · Apr 7, 2025 ·

One of President Donald Trump’s picks for the U.S. Supreme Court turned on him Monday, siding with liberal justices in a bid to constrain his ability to deport illegal immigrants suspected by the administration of being affiliated with violent South American gangs. MAGA conservatives are incensed with Justice Amy Coney Barrett, whom the president nominated and was confirmed for her role during his first administration. Barrett briefly became a right-wing celebrity after she held up her blank notebook during a U.S. Senate confirmation hearing to show that she brought no prepared talking points with her. Now, she is under fire...

The Supreme Court vacated Jeb Boasberg's orders banning the deportation of illegals covered by the Alien Enemies Act. But that's not the end of Boasberg's crusade to prove the Trump adm wrong. Citing the wrong jurisdiction and the wrong measure of relief, the Supreme Court on Monday night vacated D.C. District Court Chief Judge James Boasberg’s two temporary restraining orders prohibiting the immediate deportation of illegal Venezuelans tied to Tren de Aragua, a foreign terrorist organization according to the Trump administration. In a 5-4 decision, the Court—with Amy Coney Barrett again siding with the three liberal harpies—determined it had limited...

Conservative Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett may be poised to break ranks again in a case involving funding for the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Barrett has drawn sharp criticism from President Donald Trump's supporters in recent months after she sided against the president and the administration in high-profile cases involving Trump's agenda and his sentencing in New York. Chief Justice John Roberts has also been scrutinized over his rulings in significant cases, but Barrett in particular has sparked harsh blowback as staunch Trump supporters have said the president made a mistake by nominating her to the bench during his...

Whenever the far left in the U.S. loses an argument — called an election — it suddenly decides it’s time to take to the streets and get violent. Now is just such a time, as America experiences a new spasm of home-grown anti-Trump, anti-Musk terrorism. It shouldn’t be tolerated. Whether it’s taking pot shots at the president, violently demonstrating in support of murderous terrorists, “swatting” people they don’t like, or destroying cars made by a person they now despise, our country once again finds extremists threatening us and our liberty. And, no surprise, it’s nearly all from the far left...

A deranged “Free Palestine” extremist attempted to terrorize the family of DEI U.S. Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett by threatening her sister with a mailbox bomb. According to WYFF, citing the Charleston Police Department, authorities responded around 9:30 a.m. Monday after receiving an alarming bomb threat directed at Amanda Coney Williams. The threat, sent via email to an employee of the Charleston County Sheriff’s Office late Sunday night, detailed an alleged homemade explosive device that was supposedly placed in Williams’ mailbox. The email read: “Using a 1×8-inch threaded galvanized pipe, end caps, a kitchen timer, some wires, metal clips...

No RFK files. No JFK files. No Epstein client list. No arrests. Just strongly worded letters and Fox news interviews. Have we been duped?

MAGA activists have turned against one of President Donald Trump's own appointees to the Supreme Court: Justice Amy Coney Barrett. Appointed by Trump in 2020, Barrett is a staunch conservative who has joined major rulings in which the court has moved U.S. law to the right, including on abortion and affirmative action.

Conservatives are ramping up their calls for Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) to be held legally accountable for his role in pushing a now well-debunked claim that President Donald Trump was a dupe for Russian President Vladimir Putin during his first term. The so-called “Russian collusion” narrative, which Schiff and many others in the media pushed for years during Trump’s first term, was the subject of multiple investigations by the House and by independent prosecutors, including John Durham, a former U.S. attorney, and Robert Mueller, a former FBI director.

Amy Coney Barrett strikes again—alongside Justice Roberts. However, by now, Roberts’ betrayals have become pretty much predictable, but many had high hopes for Barrett, given her history as a clerk for Justice Scalia, one of the greatest Supreme Court Justices of our time. In fact, she was once hailed as “Scalia’s heir.” ... Sadly, that claim couldn’t be further from the truth. In what many conservatives are calling an outright slap in the face, Amy Coney Barrett and Chief Justice Roberts dealt a blow to President Trump and the US Constitution. They got political, sided with the progressives, and ruled...

The United States Supreme Court has denied President-elect Trump's petition to block his Friday sentencing in New York v. Trump. Trump needed five votes in order to have his request granted. The note on the order suggests Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Amy Coney Barrett voted with Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Katanji Brown Jackson. Trump's sentencing is now expected to move forward, with the president-elect expected to appear virtually for the proceeding, scheduled for 9:30 am Friday

The Supreme Court on Jan. 9 rejected President-elect Donald Trump’s request to halt proceedings in his New York business records case, removing a potential barrier to sentencing scheduled for Jan. 10. The brief order noted that Justices Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, and Brett Kavanaugh would have granted the application. The court offered several reasons it said it refused to grant the application. “First, the alleged evidentiary violations at President-elect Trump’s state-court trial can be addressed in the ordinary course on appeal. Second, the burden that sentencing will impose on the President-Elect’s responsibilities is relatively insubstantial in light of...

I'm telling you that Barrett has decided she's a politician, not a Justice...' Tech companies are once again colluding with Democrats to push disinformation and censor legitimate conservative opinions, this time with the imprimatur of legitimacy conferred by the U.S. Supreme Court that allows them to do so more shamelessly and aggressively than ever. Today’s censorship is being made possible by the letters A, C and B—as in Justice Amy Coney Barrett. While the court’s two other centrists, Justice Brett Kavanaugh and Chief Justice John Roberts, are equally culpable (along with its leftist bloc) in allowing the atrocity that is...

The Supreme Court ended its term divided into partisan blocs, with the Republican appointees ruling in favor of former President Trump’s claim of immunity while the three Democratic appointees voiced a bitter dissent. It’s exactly the result many critics of the court might have expected, with politics driving the law. It’s also what Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. has tried hard to avoid — at least most of the time. For much of this year, Roberts and the justices succeeded in defusing partisan splits with narrow or procedural rulings. By a 9-0 vote, they threw out a Texas lawsuit...

Just when you think the media’s smear campaign against conservative Supreme Court justices can’t get any more despicable, they find a way to prove you wrong. On Wednesday, Rolling Stone magazine’s Andrew Perez published a hit piece against Justice Amy Coney Barrett that amounts to nothing more than a dud for Democrats’ war on SCOTUS. The “scandal,” according to the outlet, is that Barrett’s husband is representing Fox Corporation — Fox News’ parent company — in an ongoing defamation case involving one of its local stations. “The defamation case was filed by Lavell Redmond, an Illinois man who was convicted...

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) honored the anniversary of the Supreme Court’s landmark Dobbs decision by acknowledging former President Donald Trump’s contribution to the pro-life movement and previewing Congress’s forthcoming federal pro-life initiatives.“I think when it comes to the Supreme Court nominations, President Trump was the most pro-life president we’ve ever had,” Stefanik told Breitbart News ahead of speaking at a celebratory event hosted by the national pro-life group Susan B. Anthony (SBA) List this week.“And thank goodness for his strong nominations to the Supreme Court,” Stefanik added. “I certainly am proud that we have so many pro-life leaders stepping up...

A win for Geraldine Tyler, who is now 94 years old, would be a win for property rights.The Supreme Court on Wednesday heard arguments in a consequential case. The query before the justices: Was it unconstitutional when the government seized a woman's home over an unpaid tax bill, sold it for more than the amount of the debt, and then kept the profit? It may sound like a slam dunk case. Over the last several years, it has not been. But yesterday's arguments provided both a glimmer of optimism for the state of property rights in the U.S., as well...

What are yall's thoughts on Joy Behar apologizing to ACB after demanding she step down from a SCOTUS case because she is in a 'Christian hate group'?!
