    As the Democratic Party handles the fallout from their devastating election defeat this week, some have come up with an unlikely plan to oust liberal Supreme Court Justice Sotomayor. In just under two months, Republicans will control the U.S. Senate with a likely majority of at least 53 seats. Once Trump takes office, they will have free reign to start appointing conservative judicial nominees, shaping federal courts for generations to come. According to Politico’s Playbook, Democratic leaders are “agonizing” over whether to try and force Sotomayor out of the door before Trump takes office in January. The 70-year-old justice is...

    Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) fumed over progressive criticism of J. Michelle Childs, a district court nominee who was also a Supreme Court contender, and accused Democrats of holding a double standard against GOP nominees. Graham’s remarks, which came near the start of the four-day hearing for President Biden's actual nominee for the court — Ketanji Brown Jackson — are the most extensive comments Graham has given on Jackson’s nomination since his meeting with Jackson last week. After that meeting, which lasted roughly 15 minutes, Graham went radio silent on his thinking about Jackson

    Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said Wednesday that he pitched district court Judge J. Michelle Childs to the White House counsel's office this week and warned that voting to support another pick would be "much more problematic" for him. "I told them what I've been saying publicly that Michelle Childs is well known in South Carolina, there's a lot of support among Republicans, Democrats who practice law in South Carolina. I've known her and I think she's a quality person, somebody I could see myself supporting," Graham told reporters, recounting the conversation that took place on Tuesday night.

    Washington — Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina praised U.S. District Judge Michelle Childs, a possible candidate to replace retiring Justice Stephen Breyer on the Supreme Court, on Sunday, saying he "can't think of a better person" for President Biden to consider. In an interview with "Face the Nation," Graham heaped praise on Childs, who sits on the federal district court in South Carolina, and said she is "highly qualified" and of "good character." "I can't think of a better person for President Biden… Snip She is one of the most decent people I've ever met."

    A city employee who hoarded the pass code of a major San Francisco computer network was found guilty Tuesday of blocking city officials from access. Terry Childs, 45, commandeered The City’s FiberWAN network in July 2008 after his managers began investigating his strange behavior at work. After five years of working with The City, Childs had gained a reputation for his technical knowledge.He would soon withhold that knowledge from his co-workers and superiors in an effort to protect the infrastructure from “something really bad.”In the five-month trial, Childs was found guilty of one felony count of computer network tampering with...

    I haven't written much about the Terry Childs case recently, mainly because there's not much to tell. Childs is still in jail, his bail is still set at a ridiculous $5 million, and he still hasn't had his day in court. It's been nearly 18 months since his arrest for refusing to hand over administrative passwords to San Francisco's city network.In that time, three of the four charges against him were dismissed, yet numerous motions for bail reduction have been denied, presumably because the judges are terrified of what they don't understand, and the DA is playing that up. Regardless...

    The mayor of San Francisco has obtained the password to the city's multimillion-dollar computer network password from a disgruntled employee during a secret jailhouse visit, the San Francisco Chronicle reports. On Monday night, Mayor Gavin Newsom met Terry Childs, a Department of Telecommunications and Information Services employee charged with computer tampering, in a secret meeting and walked away with the password to the city's new FiberWAN (Wide Area Network), the Chronicle said. The system stores such records as officials' e-mails, city payroll files, confidential law enforcement documents and jail bookings. Childs has been held since July 13 and had reportedly...

    SAN FRANCISCO -- "The first thing I want you to know, Mr. Mayor, is that when you walk out of this room, you will have the computer codes." Those words - delivered to Mayor Gavin Newsom by imprisoned city computer tech Terry Childs in a small, fourth-floor room at city jail Monday - signaled the beginning of the end of the weeklong standoff in which San Francisco officials found themselves in the embarrassing position of being locked out of their own computer system. Childs - whom some have described as a friendly, hard worker at the city Technology Department, and...

    SAN FRANCISCO -- The San Francisco computer engineer accused of withholding access codes to the city's network surrendered the password during an unusual jailhouse visit by Mayor Gavin Newsom, authorities said Tuesday. Newsom came away with the access codes Monday night after talking with Terry Childs, 43, of Pittsburg, who has been held since July 13 on four felony counts stemming from what prosecutors describe as an effort to block administrative access to the network that handles 60 percent of the city's information, including sensitive law enforcement, payroll and jail booking records. Childs had given officials what turned out to...

    SAN FRANCISCO -- A disgruntled city computer engineer has virtually commandeered San Francisco's new multimillion-dollar computer network, altering it to deny access to top administrators even as he sits in jail on $5 million bail, authorities said Monday. Terry Childs, a 43-year-old computer network administrator who lives in Pittsburg, has been charged with four counts of computer tampering and is scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday. Prosecutors say Childs, who works in Department of Technology at a base salary of just over $126,000, tampered with the city's new FiberWAN (Wide Area Network), where records such as officials' e-mails, city payroll files,...

    Dr. Sandra Pacheco believes that her daughter was punished at Elk Grove High School for doing what she thought was the right thing. She argues that a school district policy is making its campuses unsafe for girls. Before Elk Grove High’s homecoming football game on Oct. 21, she and her daughter’s stepfather, Jeff Franklin, handed out flyers to parents driving out of the school’s front parking lot and told them about their case, and asked if they shared the same problem. The couple displayed a sign that read: “Is Your Daughter Safe at EGHS? Not as Safe as You May...
