Members phkrause Posted March 18 Author Members Share Posted March 18 The Supreme Court will decide if Texas can arrest migrants for illegal entry Texas’ plan to arrest migrants who cross the U.S.-Mexico border illegally is on hold while the nation’s highest court considers a challenge led by the Justice Department to Republican Gov. Greg Abbott’s latest move over immigration. Justice Samuel Alito has ordered a stay until Monday at 5 p.m. EDT, when the law could potentially take effect. Read more. Things to know: Who can be arrested? The law Gov. Abbott signed in December allows Texas' enforcement to arrest people suspected of entering the country illegally. Although officers must have probable cause, critics have said it could lead to racial profiling and family separation. Where will the law be enforced? In any of Texas’ 254 counties, including those hundreds of miles from the border. Some places are off-limits, like in public and private schools; places of worship; or hospitals and other health care facilities. Is it constitutional? The Justice Department, legal experts and rights groups have said the measure is a clear conflict with the U.S. government’s authority to regulate immigration. U.S. District Judge David Ezra agreed, and added that the law could hamper U.S. foreign relations and treaty obligations.

Members phkrause Posted March 21 Author Members Share Posted March 21 Supreme Court opens new frontier for insurrection claims that could target state and local officials Two recent U.S. Supreme Court actions have opened the door to a new legal landscape in which local and state officials can be disqualified from office for life for "engaging in insurrection” or providing “aid and comfort” to enemies of the Constitution.

Members phkrause Posted April 24 Author Members Share Posted April 24 The Supreme Court hears oral arguments on sleeping outdoors The Supreme Court wrestled with major questions about the growing issue of homelessness on Monday as it considered whether cities can punish people for sleeping outside when shelter space is lacking. It’s the most significant case before the high court in decades on the issue, and comes as record numbers of people are without a permanent place to live in the United States. Read more. Key points: Homelessness in the United States grew a dramatic 12% last year to its highest reported level, as soaring rents and a decline in coronavirus pandemic assistance combined to put housing out of reach for more people. More than 650,000 people are estimated to be homeless, the most since the country began conducting a yearly point-in-time survey in 2007. Nearly half of them sleep outside. The question is an urgent one in Western states like California, which is home to one-third of the country’s homeless population. Advocacy groups have argued that allowing cities to punish people who need a place to sleep will criminalize homelessness and ultimately make the crisis worse as the cost of housing increases. The justices appeared to be leaning toward a narrow ruling in the case. Sleeping is a biological necessity, and people may be forced to do it outside if they can’t get housing or there’s no space in shelters, Justice Sonia Sotomayor said. “Where do we put them if every city, every village, every town lacks compassion and passes a law identical to this? Where are they supposed to sleep?” she asked. Solving homelessness is a complicated issue, argued Justice Brett Kavanaugh. The court is expected to decide the case by the end of June.

Members phkrause Posted Friday at 12:33 AM Author Members Share Posted Friday at 12:33 AM ⚖️ Abortion case divides SCOTUS Oral arguments today in a high-profile abortion case didn't give a particularly clear indication of how the Supreme Court is likely to rule. Why it matters: The outcome could have significant implications in states with the most restrictive abortion bans. The justices heard arguments over whether Idaho's near-total ban on abortion conflicts with a federal law that requires hospitals' emergency rooms to provide life-saving care. There are familiar ideological divisions in every abortion case. But today's arguments "involved complicated and overlapping issues that could divide the court's six-member conservative majority," the N.Y. Times' Adam Liptak writes. Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh seemed to think doctors could comply with both laws, in which case there wouldn't be much conflict for the court to resolve, per NBC News.

Members phkrause Posted Friday at 01:59 AM Author Members Share Posted Friday at 01:59 AM The Supreme Court today will hear Trump's claims of presidential immunity Supreme Court justices seem to agree on a basic truth about the American system of government: No one is above the law, not even the president. But former President Donald Trump and his legal team are putting that foundational belief to the test on Thursday when the high court takes up Trump’s bid to avoid prosecution over his efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss to Joe Biden. Read more. What to know: Central to Trump’s immunity argument is the claim that only a former president who was impeached and convicted by the Senate can be criminally prosecuted. Trump was impeached over his efforts to undo the election in the run-up to the violent riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. But he was acquitted, not convicted, by the Senate in 2021. The Supreme Court session starts at 10 a.m. EDT. Listen live here. When will the court rule?: That’s unclear. If the court hands down its decision in late June, which would be the typical timeframe, there might not be enough time to start Trump’s Jan. 6 trial before the election.

Members phkrause Posted Saturday at 12:35 AM Author Members Share Posted Saturday at 12:35 AM Trump gets the upper hand at SCOTUS Photo illustration: Lindsey Bailey/Axios. Photo: Jeff Swenson/Getty Images Former President Trump seemed to come out ahead today as the Supreme Court debated whether he can be prosecuted for his attempts to overturn the 2020 election, Axios court watcher Sam Baker reports. Five justices may not ultimately endorse Trump's argument that former presidents are totally immune from prosecution for actions they took while in office. But several justices were open to the idea of sending the case back to lower courts for new hearings — which would prevent the Justice Department's case from going to trial before Inauguration Day. And any delay is a win for Trump. 🎯 Catch up quick: The court's six conservatives weren't always on the same page during nearly three hours of oral arguments today in Trump's immunity case. Justice Brett Kavanaugh was adamant about a relatively expansive interpretation of presidential immunity, while Justice Amy Coney Barrett was skeptical of Trump's sweeping position. A majority seemed to loosely coalesce around a rule that would give presidents some level of immunity for their official actions but not necessarily for their personal conduct — and let lower courts take another crack at drawing that line. Go deeper. Supreme Court seems skeptical of Trump’s claim of absolute immunity but decision’s timing is unclear WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Thursday appeared likely to reject former President Donald Trump’s claim of absolute immunity from prosecution over election interference, but several justices signaled reservations about the charges that could cause a lengthy delay, possibly beyond November’s election. https://apnews.com/article/supreme-court-trump-capitol-riot-prosecution-immunity-72c885c07c77970d4380206f87b2d8ca? ps:This is what I got out of it!!

Members phkrause Posted Saturday at 02:25 AM Author Members Share Posted Saturday at 02:25 AM Trump nears huge win on delay, delay strategy The Supreme Court appears poised to hand former President Trump a win in his strategy of delaying his legal troubles, Axios' Erin Doherty reports. Why it matters: The high court seemed reluctant to fully resolve the question of presidential immunity, increasing Trump's odds of seeing just one of his four criminal cases conclude before the election. "If that happens, the public won't get the benefit of having a jury determine before election if Trump tried to steal 2020 election," election law expert Rick Hasen wrote on X. Democratic strategist David Axelrod called the likelihood of just one case wrapping up before November "the best scenario [Trump] could hope have hoped for" given the circumstances. "I heard the meeting was quite amazing, quite amazing, and the justices were on their game," Trump said today. Zoom in: A clear rejection of Trump's theory of immunity seemed the least likely outcome after today, Axios' Sam Baker writes. A majority of justices seemed ready to given former presidents some but not "absolute" immunity. The most likely outcome might be for the high court to kick the case back to lower courts, delaying the start of a trial. Between the lines: Trump's Jan. 6 case was originally set to begin in March. Usually arguments heard in late April bring decisions at the end of June or early July, although the court could act with speed given the high-profile nature of the case. "If they wait until the last day of the term, the window for getting the case tried before the election is practically closed, or close to it," former federal prosecutor Randall D. Eliason told the Washington Post.

Sketch: Dana Verkouteren via AP Could a president really have political opponents assassinated or carry out a coup in the U.S. without facing a criminal trial? That "absolute immunity" claim was what Donald Trump's lawyer argued before the Supreme Court. The justices appeared unwilling to go that far — but still seemed poised to hand the ex-president a partial victory, Axios' Zachary Basu writes. 📜 Why it matters: The immense gravity of the case weighed heavily on the high court yesterday, with justices across the ideological spectrum expressing fears of the new order they could unleash. The immediate question is whether Trump will face trial in his Jan. 6 criminal case before the 2024 election. But the conservative-led court's decision will shape history well beyond November. "We're writing a rule for the ages," Justice Neil Gorsuch observed. For now, Trump seems likely to win at least a delay from the high court.

"If the president decides that his rival is a corrupt person and he orders the military to assassinate him, is that within his official acts for which he can get immunity?" Justice Sonia Sotomayor asked. "How about if the president orders the military to stage a coup?" asked Justice Elena Kagan. In both scenarios, Sauer responded that it depends on the circumstances — but that they could well be "official acts" protected by presidential immunity.

Members phkrause Posted Saturday at 09:29 PM Author Members Share Posted Saturday at 09:29 PM Key moments from landmark Supreme Court arguments on Trump’s immunity claims The Supreme Court heard more than 2 1/2 hours worth of arguments on the landmark question of whether former President Donald Trump is immune from prosecution in a case charging him with plotting to overturn the 2020 presidential election. Read more. Key moments: There was no reference in the arguments to “November.” Nor to “2024.” Yet there’s no question that the 2024 election was the elephant in the room. In the background of Thursday’s session was the tacit acknowledgment that the court is helping decide not only whether Trump is immune from prosecution but also whether he can stand trial before the election. The judges' remarks focused more on the future than the past as it contemplated the ruling ahead. The historic stakes of the case and the potential for precedent that will stand the test of time, for conservative justices, seemed a way to set aside the facts of the Trump indictment and the abuse of power it alleges and focus instead on the implication of a court ruling on cases that have yet to be charged — but theoretically could be. The justices appeared likely to reject Trump’s absolute immunity claim, but several justices did suggest the case may have to be sent back for more legal wrangling before it could go to trial. Such a ruling would be a victory for Trump as it would almost certainly delay the trial until after the election.
