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...

On Monday, the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) rejected a lawsuit by Republican attorneys general that aimed at blocking left-wing lawsuits targeting energy companies for their alleged role in contributing to “global warming.” As ABC News reports, the lawsuit was filed by attorneys general from 19 different states in response to several Democrat-led lawsuits against oil and gas companies. The Republican lawsuit, led by Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall, said that the lawsuits by Democratic states were essentially attempting to control national policy; he also warned that such efforts could run the risk of increasing energy prices. States...

A third appellate court has upheld a block on President Donald Trump’s executive order limiting birthright citizenship. The 1st Circuit Court of Appeals made the ruling Tuesday, denying a motion from Trump’s legal team to immediately overturn a block issued by a federal judge in Massachusetts. Trump’s executive order would block automatic citizenship for any child born in the U.S. to someone who is in the country illegally, as well as children born to someone with temporary legal status if the child’s father is not a citizen or legal permanent resident. Roughly two dozen states have sued over the executive...

Critics warn these cases, which also target other large emitters, including utilities and industries, will drive up energy prices for consumers, if successful. he Supreme Court Monday declined to hear a request from 19 red states hoping to stop blue state lawsuits seeking to extract money from oil companies for allegedly causing damages from climate change. The State of Alabama was joined by 18 other Republican attorneys general, including those representing West Virginia and Wyoming, in asking the high court to stop states like California and New Jersey from seeking damages the blue states claim are caused by greenhouse gas...

In 2024, the battleground state of Wisconsin was carried by Donald Trump over Kamala Harris, with the Republican winning by less than one percentage point. The US Senate race went the other way, with Democratic incumbent Tammy Baldwin squeaking through, also by less than a single percentage point. Democrats helped boost a third-party candidate who was on the ballot, whose tiny fraction of support ended up being a factor in swinging the race to Baldwin. If Republican Eric Hovde had mirrored Donald Trump's support, he would have won. In the 2022 midterm cycle, incumbent GOP Senator Ron Johnson survived his...

In an interesting 5-4 split, the Supreme Court has denied the Trump Administration’s application for a stay of a district court’s temporary restraining order (TRO) against the Administration’s effort to freeze $2 billion in funds from the U.S. Agency for International Development. The Administration is down by one vote but hardly out in the fight with lower courts over the control of this funding. The unsigned order in Department of State v. AIDS Vaccine Advocacy Coalition refuses to stay the temporary restraining order of U.S. District Judge Amir Ali to force the payment of the money frozen by the Administration....

The Supreme Court has upheld a lower court’s order requiring the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and the State Department to immediately pay approximately $2 billion owed to contractors for work already completed. The ruling comes after a temporary stay issued by Chief Justice John Roberts on Feb. 26, which paused a lower court’s mandate that compelled the government to disburse the funds by midnight that day. But in a 5-4 decision Wednesday, the justices denied the Trump administration’s request to vacate the lower court’s order, allowing the payments to proceed. Justices Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, and...

Emboldened by the Supreme Court’s refusal to intervene, fired Biden holdover Hampton Dellinger is now fighting to reinstate 5000+ probationary workers fired by the Trump Administration. The Trump Administration recently fired thousands of probationary workers at the Department of Agriculture. President Trump fired Hampton Dellinger, Special Counsel of the Office of Special Counsel (not to be confused with a special counsel hired as a federal prosecutor) a few weeks ago. However, after several weeks of back-and-forth in the courts, corrupt Obama Judge Amy Berman Jackson ruled in favor of Hampton Dellinger on Saturday and entered a judgment declaring his firing...

Late Saturday, D.C. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson ruled that President Donald Trump violated federal law in firing Hampton Dellinger, head of the Office of Special Counsel. Jackson’s decision is forceful, well-written, and challengeable under existing precedent. Indeed, it may have just set up an appeal that both presidents and professors have long waited for to reinforce presidential powers. Appointed by President Joe Biden (and son of the respected liberal scholar and Clinton acting Solicitor General Walter Dellinger), Hampton Dellinger was confirmed by the Senate for a five-year term beginning in 2024. He sued after receiving an email with a...

The Trump Administration on Wednesday evening filed an emergency appeal asking the Supreme Court to intervene after a Biden-appointed judge ordered the Admin to pay $2 billion in foreign contracts by midnight tonight. The DC Circuit Court of Appeals has not yet ruled on Trump’s emergency request for an administrative stay so the DOJ went right to the high court as the midnight deadline looms.

Corrupt Obama Judge Amy Berman Jackson extended a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) reinstating fired Biden holdover Hampton Dellinger after a dramatic hearing on Wednesday. .... Snip.... Emboldened by the Supreme Court’s refusal to intervene, Hampton Dellinger is causing problems and attacking President Trump’s decision to terminate “probationary” employees. In a statement released on Monday, Hampton Dellinger said some of Trump’s firings of probationary employees appear to be illegal. “Last Friday, Special Counsel Hampton Dellinger filed initial requests to “stay,” or pause, the apparently impermissible terminations of six probationary employees across various executive branch agencies. The requests, filed with the U.S....

Calls from progressive lawmakers and activist groups to expand the Supreme Court have fallen noticeably silent since President Donald Trump won the election in November and returned to the Oval Office last month. During President Joe Biden’s tenure, progressive organizations such as Demand Justice and Alliance for Justice were vocal advocates for adding seats to the high court, which has a 6-3 Republican-appointed majority cemented with the help of Trump’s three nominees from his first term. Progressives’ concerns focused on what they viewed as an entrenched conservative majority’s influence on issues such as abortion, voting rights, and environmental regulations. Lawmakers...

Hampton Dellinger, the head of the Office of Special Counsel, was appointed by former President Joe Biden The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday paused the Trump administration's efforts to dismiss the head of an independent agency charged with investigating whistleblower claims as the president seeks to remake the federal government.

The Obergefell ruling rode rough-shod over religions and dozens of state constitutions on the bases of a moral — not legal — opinion.In late January, the Idaho House of Representatives passed a memorandum calling on the U.S. Supreme Court to “reverse” its 2015 gay marriage decision, Obergefell v. Hodges, “and restore the natural definition of marriage, a union of one man and one woman.” The memo passed 46 to 24 in the House and is heading to the Idaho Senate. If it passes the senate, it will be sent on to the Supreme Court as one more formal encouragement that...

BLM gunman who shot a driver in the head has charges dropped, sentence reduced, eligible for parole in 2026The public is forgetting a lot of things. The absurd theater surrounding the COVID pandemic and hysteria over vaccines seems like a distant memory. The huge outpouring of organized violence surrounding the death of George Floyd, probably the worst the nation has experienced in decades, is also slipping away. One incident that is often forgotten is the shooting that took place in the small town Alamosa, CO. In Alamosa we saw the familiar pattern of the riots: Black Lives Matter protestors would...

On Tuesday Chief Justice Roberts ordered fired Biden holdover Hampton Dellinger to respond to the Trump Administration’s application to the Supreme Court. Hampton Dellinger must respond by Wednesday. President Trump on Sunday filed an emergency appeal with the US Supreme Court after corrupt Obama judge Amy Berman Jackson reinstated Hampton Dellinger as head of the Office of Special Counsel. President Trump fired Hampton Dellinger, Special Counsel of the Office of Special Counsel (not to be confused with a special counsel hired as a federal prosecutor) a couple of weeks ago. Trump appointed Veterans Affairs Secretary Doug Collins to take over...

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...
