    Trump DOJ sues Washington over law requiring priests to violate seal of confession

    The privilege law in Washington speaks of "confession or sacred confidence", which could be broader than just sacramental confession. Like would a priest under caonincal disicipline be public or is that confidential? That's a real question.

    Trump DOJ sues Washington over law requiring priests to violate seal of confession

    Freedom of religion isn't absolute. It can be restricted if there is a strong enough government interest. Here is the relevant portion of the bill. This section already existed, but the waiver of privilege for clergy is new. But it only applies to that particular section, which refers only to...

    Musk claims Trump is in the Epstein files

    I mean to be fair to President Trump, Elon does sort of have a history of claiming his enemies are pedophiles without any proof. So I doubt there is anything to this.

    Not legally. That pesky 5th amendment applies

    Trump orders reopening of notorious Alcatraz prison

    There is absolutly no need to reopen Alcatraz. ADX Florence not only exists but had to close down sections because they were not being used. There is plenty of capacity for high risk individuals. Those sections could be reopened far easier and cheaper then renovating Alcatraz, and operated on a...

    Maybe she cut him off and he had a case of road rage.

    Trump attempts to expand pardon power to corporations, issues pardon to crypto company BitMEX for violating Bank Secrecy Act

    While he is the first person to do this, legally I think he's on firm ground. Corporations are legally persons, which is the only reason it was even possible to convict it in the first place.

    Trump to use wartime Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport illegal migrants from ‘enemy nations’: sources

    Correct on both cases. Sure. That's kinda the whole point of states having plenary police power. They get to decide what is and what isn't a crime in their jurisdiction. Now I think this would be a horrible idea on a policy level, but perfectly legal. Once again the 14th Amendment comes into...

    Trump to use wartime Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport illegal migrants from ‘enemy nations’: sources

    It doesn't violate the Supremacy Clause. The Supremacy Clause is a conflict of laws clause, which states that if state and federal law conflicts then the federal law controls. There is no federal law requiring states to help enforce immigration law, and if there were one, it would be invalidated...

    Hawley to introduce legislation to curb court rulings against Trump agenda

    I would just like to point out that conservatives were perfectly fine with nationwide injunctions when they were used against Obama and Biden. It's only now that it's being used against Trump that Republicans care.

    Hawley to introduce legislation to curb court rulings against Trump agenda

    That was in the dissent. That was Justices Black's understanding of the holding. Here it is in context. Note that this is in criticism, not agreement and since it was the dissent, it holds no precedential value any way. While the following statement actually is precedent. So if the case is...

    Judicial Watch: Sues California to Stop Counting of Ballots Received after Election Day

    It seems like a real stretch since the California law still requires the ballot to have been postmarked or signed and dated before election day. It doesn't extend election day, no matter how much he claims it does. He also has a bizarre claim that the federal election law requires a ballot be...

    Trump to use wartime Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport illegal migrants from ‘enemy nations’: sources

    But we don't know either of those things are true for these people, because there was no due process to determine them.

    Executive order Thursday to close the Education Department,

    I'm aware of what the ED does. However it she's seen like you aren't since you brought up curriculum which is now and always has been the province of the states. The role of ED is to give money and administer certain civil rights laws. Those things have nothing to do with test scores.

    Judge who ordered deportation flights of Venezuelan gang members be returned faces calls for impeachment

    He didn't. The government was sued and this particular judge was assigned the case. The question isn't if they can be deported. The question is if the Alien Enemies act can be used to short circuit the due process described and required by the Immigration and Nationality Act. What makes them...

    Judge who ordered deportation flights of Venezuelan gang members be returned faces calls for impeachment

    The Supreme Court had ruled on a previous application of the act, but not this particular one. A particular act can be COnstitutional without all uses of the act falling within the proper authority of the legislation. The HERO act is a good example of that. There was nothing unusual at all...
