“The Supreme Court is in crisis and bold solutions are necessary to restore the public trust,” Wyden said in a statement. “More transparency, more accountability and more checks on a power hungry Supreme Court are just what the American people are asking for.”

The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled Friday to keep Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. on the presidential ballot in the state for the November election. Kennedy filed a suit against the Wisconsin Elections Commission last month seeking to be removed from the ballot after dropping out of the race and endorsing former President Donald Trump. The WEC voted to keep him on the ballot, citing state law that independent candidates who file nomination papers before the Aug. 6 deadline cannot be removed from the ballot unless they die. That's in contrast to Republican and Democrat candidates, whose parties have until 5 p.m....

What does it take to get off Wisconsin's ballot? You have one option Robert F. Kennedy’s name will stay on Wisconsin’s presidential election ballot, the state Supreme Court ruled Friday, ending the former independent presidential candidate’s hopes of not competing with former President Donald Trump in the battleground state in November. In a unanimous decision, the Wisconsin Supreme Court dismissed Kennedy’s lawsuit, which he filed in August against the Wisconsin Elections Commission. The lawsuit sought to either remove his name from the ballot or require clerks to place a sticker on each ballot to cover it up. In an unsigned...

They want to do it. It’s not a secret. Democrats, upset that we’ve flipped the Supreme Court, now want to destroy the third branch of government.

WASHINGTON — Ron Wyden, Oregon's senior U.S. senator, introduced legislation Thursday that would overhaul the U.S. Supreme Court and "restore public trust" in the institution, his office said in a statement. The "Judicial Modernization and Transparency Act" would make a number of significant changes to the highest court and the federal circuit courts beneath it, including an overall expansion of the court itself. "The Supreme Court is in crisis and bold solutions are necessary to restore the public trust," Wyden said.

Politics Alaska man charged with threatening to assassinate 6 Supreme Court justices By Melissa Quinn September 19, 2024 / 11:37 AM EDT / CBS News Washington — An Alaska man was arrested Wednesday for allegedly threatening to assassinate six members of the Supreme Court and harm two family members, the Justice Department said. Panos Anastasiou, 76, is accused of sending more than 465 messages to the Supreme Court through an online portal, which included violent, racist, and homophobic rhetoric, according to court filings. Anastasiou allegedly threatened to assassinate, kidnap, torture, hang, behead and execute the justices, and encouraged other people...

Scientists finally re-analyzed the study and found that it was riddled with errors—but that didn’t matter then because it furthered the narrative. In America, an inordinate number of so-called “scientific” studies are subject to what’s called the “replication (or reproducibility) crisis.” If someone publishes a study that feeds into leftist shibboleths, no matter how poorly done the study is (small sampling, foolish assumptions, bad math, etc.), the results are widely trumpeted and become embedded in the popular consciousness. That the study cannot be replicated (run again from scratch) or reproduced (subject to a new analysis of the study’s data)—and often...

During the presidential debate between President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, debate moderators curiously failed to include a question about efforts to “reform” the Supreme Court. The Biden administration is proposing radical changes to the Court, which include ending life tenure for justices and giving Congress the power to oversee the Court’s ethics. Others are calling to expand the size of the Court by adding more seats. Those proposals would destroy judicial independence and the rule of law. They’re a threat to Americans’ civil liberties. “Court packing would not simply alter the structure of the Supreme Court—it would...

In a huge blow to cheating Democrats, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court on Friday ruled that undated ballots or improperly dated ballots won’t be counted. Democrats heavily relied on mail-in ballots in 2020 to get Joe Biden across the finish line. Recall that President Trump was ahead of Joe Biden by more than 750,000 votes in Pennsylvania at midnight on Election Day in 2020, but Democrats in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia kept counting ‘mail-in ballots’ for two weeks without GOP monitors present. Joe Biden ‘won’ Pennsylvania by approximately 80,000 votes after Democrats used mail-in ballots to cheat. Last month a lower court...

The Supreme Court declined on Wednesday to lift a sweeping block on President Joe Biden’s student loan repayment plan that aims to slash monthly payments and quicken the path to loan forgiveness. The high court turned down a request from the Biden administration to put the plan back in play after lower courts blocked it this summer in a legal challenge to the plan brought by GOP-led states. There were no noted dissents in the brief order

VIDEOUntil recently, former federal judge J. Michael Luttig's shtick has been to just idly sit back like a fat Buddha and sadly whine about how Donald Trump just keeps winning despite all the Lawfare tossed at him. However, the recent Supreme Court decision on presidential immunity appears to have broken poor Luttig to the extent that his shtick has switched up and he has gone full angry Drama Queen chock full of absolutely HILARIOUS overacting about how Trump has won yet again.

Enrollment for Black and Latino students dropped at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the first class formed after the Supreme Court found race-conscience admissions in colleges unconstitutional. The university’s admissions department on Wednesday released its first-year class profile, showing a sharp drop in its Black student population. About 5% of MIT’s incoming class of 2028 is Black, a significant drop from its 13% average in recent years. Latino students make up 11% of the class of 2028, compared to a 15% average in recent years. Overall, 1,102 students make up the incoming class. Stu Schmill, MIT’s dean of admissions,...

It's been a little over 2 years since the Supreme Court sent abortion back to the states, and now I'm even more convinced the SC was wrong in their ruling. Yes, after 2 years we see state after state allowing voters to decide if it should be allowed. In every state controlled by Democrats, abortion has been legalized to the extreme, while states controlled by Republicans either tempered it down or outright outlawed the procedure. The states that allow for ballot measures, the citizens have been voting to allow abortion at some level. What have we learned? well, the hearts...

After nearly eight months in limbo, former President Donald J. Trump’s federal election interference case sprang back to life on Saturday as the judge overseeing it scheduled a hearing in Washington for Aug. 16 to discuss next steps.At the hearing, the judge, Tanya S. Chutkan, will discuss with Mr. Trump’s lawyers and prosecutors in the office of the special counsel, Jack Smith, how each side would like to proceed with a complicated fact-finding mission the Supreme Court ordered last month. The order was part of its landmark ruling granting Mr. Trump broad immunity against criminal prosecution for acts arising from...

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) in an interview with Punchbowl News compared President Biden’s proposed Supreme Court reforms to the Jan. 6, 2021 attacks on the U.S. Capitol. “That’s what some people were trying to do Jan. 6 — to break the system of handing an administration from one to the next,” McConnell said in the interview, referring to the proposed reforms. “We can have our arguments, but we ought to not try to break the rules.” The reforms that Biden has backed include 18-year term limits, which would allow a president to appoint a new justice every two...

Reports have surfaced that Justice Samuel Alito, a conservative voice on the Supreme Court, is considering retirement. Justice Alito, recognized as one of the more conservative members of the Court, was appointed by President George W. Bush and took his seat in January 2006. At 74, he is the second-oldest justice currently serving on the bench, after Clarence Thomas, who is 76. His alleged reflections on retirement come amidst ongoing attacks by the Democrats.

The New York Supreme Court rejected a lawsuit filed by Mayor Eric Adams attempting to block Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s migrant busing program. The ruling allows the State of Texas to continue busing migrants to New York City. In a post on social media, Governor Abbott vowed to continue busing migrants from the Texas border region to New York City and other sanctuary cities. The ruling by the New York Supreme Court is the second legal victory for Abbott in as many days. Another WIN! The New York Supreme Court REJECTED Mayor Adams’ attempt to block Texas from busing migrants...

Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Tuesday said President Biden’s proposed term limits for Supreme Court justices are “unconstitutional” and will be “dead on arrival” in Congress. McConnell, one of the Supreme Court’s most ardent defenders in the Senate, said he was “surprised” that Biden, a former chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, proposed authorizing presidents to appoint justices every two years and limiting them to 18 years in active service. “I couldn’t be more disappointed. This is a man who was chairman of the Judiciary Committee for a long time. He absolutely knows what he recommended is unconstitutional,...

Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) said Monday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that President Joe Biden proposed reforms to the Supreme Court are important because “our courts should not be for sale.” Co-host Jonathan Lemire said, “Let’s get your reaction to what you heard from President Biden this morning, calling for a pretty sweeping overhaul of the Supreme Court.” Booker said, “I don’t see it as so sweeping. It’s actually very pragmatic, reforms to the court that most Americans and both sides of the aisle actually agree with. Think about this for a second. Number one, the highest court in the land...
