The highest court has the highest stakes. Analysis of Supreme Court justices and their always-controversial rulings.
Supreme Court Correcting The Abortion Error
There is no doubt that the U.S. Supreme Court has made some major blunders in their history. After all, the members of the court are human like the rest of us and capable of mistakes. Haven’t we all messed up from time to time? One of the more notorious instances of this was the Plessy v. Ferguson case establishing the “Separate but Equal” doctrine for segregated education. Some would argue that the ruling to allow a mandate to purchase health insurance in 2012 was pretty bad too. But perhaps the most egregious instance was the nationwide legalization of abortion in Roe v. Wade in 1973.
Supreme Court Outlaws Flu Shots In Favor Of "DIY" Treatments
We could all see it coming for months. In a ruling that came out last week, the United States Supreme Court has effectively outlawed the influenza vaccine. It is well known for bringing the world out of the 1919 pandemic and has been periodically upgraded over the years to combat dangerous mutations of the original H1N1 virus. For lack of better phrasing- it stops people from dying.

How to Overcome The Supreme Court Decision to Strike Down Roe v. Wade
Lawrence O'Donnell pointed this out on his MSNBC show a little past 10pm Eastern time last night: The Supreme Court is what it is today because two Presidents who did not win the popular vote -- George W. Bush and Trump -- got to appoint Supreme Court justices.

In a Supreme Court case, 65 million women's abortion rights could be revoked.
If the United States Supreme Court overturns the landmark case that established the right to seek abortion nearly half a century ago, more than 65 million American women would lose immediate access to the procedure in their home states.

In addition to content about what is happening with and in the judicial system, my followers will receive a free digital copy of commonly used legal terms and a diagram of the court tiers.

Free Speech In America
Introduction The first Amendment of the United States Constitution asserts that we have civil liberties which includes free speech and free press. Free speech is defined not only as the spoken word, but also includes books, articles, plays, films, expressive conduct, and the court says there is an implied freedom of association and privacy of our political association/s. There are five types of speech that have been specifically banned by the Supreme Court; obscenity, libel/defamation, advocacy of imminent illegal action, fighting words, and fraud/misrepresentation. When examining the City of Rushmore ordinance regarding free speech and the charges being brought upon Mr. Kandinsky and Mr. Magritte, it is important to use the balancing approach in which the Supreme Court must compare the right of the government to protect and govern us, and consider the importance of the individual rights and liberties of the citizens. By examining each case and realizing which standard of review is appropriate, the Court can determine who has the greater burden of persuasion and consider that their ‘weight on the balance’ must be more substantial to justify ruling in their favor. . The Court has heard thousands of cases over the course of history and recently given higher priority to the rights of individual citizens, especially when it comes to free speech.

Confirmed: Amy Coney Barrett
Washington, DC: Monday, with a clearly partisan vote 52-48, saw the bitterly divided United States Senate confirm Amy Coney Barrett to fill the Supreme Court vacancy left by the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Ginsburg, who died on Friday, 18 September 2020, was seen by many Americans as a liberal icon.

Revisiting Commerce Clause Towards Hobby Living
In American Jurisprudence, there has always been a tug-of-war between Federal powers and State powers. Sometimes, in the only way for the law to properly address trends in society, the court has been willing to move away from the literal interpretation of the Constitution. Conservatives believe these trends away from literal interpretation are temporary, while liberals believe they promote "a more perfect union'; the ongoing American experiment as a unique multicultural society.

SCOTUS Decisions Are Only the Beginning
I couldn't sleep last night. I was thinking about the Supreme Court. I know, I know. Why was I thinking about the Supreme Court? Politics much? Lol. I wish I didn't ruminate so much about politics. But as someone who has and continues to be disrespected by nearly 40% of the population, I can't help but consider how that minority is actively now using the system to deny me my humanity. using state legislatures, POTUS and the US Congress and now the federal judiciary.
