NEW- US district judge tanya chutkan was denied a motion from maria butina's defense to release her from jail pending trial, citing a high risk of flight
the judge also imposed a gag order on both sides, saying comments from butina's lawyer robert driscoll "crossed the line." the judge said they make it even harder to find a jury pool that would ensure a fair trial in DC
the judge also scolded federal prosecutors for last week's misstep, when the DOJ said they were "mistaken" by describing the messages butina sent about sex as being serious in offering sex for employment; judge said she was "dismayed" someone at the DOJ read the messages that way

#SCOTUS, Jan. 8, 2019. With most of the sights in DC shut down, the Supreme Court is drawing a big crowd even for relatively low-profile cases.
It's a one-box Tuesday here at #SCOTUS, meaning one or two decisions in argued cases should be coming at 10a.
The first decision is Justice Kavanaugh's first majority opinion, in Henry Schein, Inc. v Archer & White Sales, Inc., vacating the 5th Circuit in an arbitration case. The decision was unanimous. #SCOTUS

#BREAKING: NY Supreme Court throws out Trump’s motion to dismiss @NewYorkStateAG Underwood’s Trump Foundation lawsuit: iapps.courts.state.ny.us/fbem/DocumentD…

As the AG’s lawsuit detailed, the Trump Foundation functioned as a personal piggy bank to serve Trump's business & political interests
Some highlights from the decision:

Justice Scarpulla finds she has jurisdiction over Trump.

She also denies the motion to dismiss on statute of limitations grounds or due to Trump’s claims of political bias, “given the very serious allegations set forth in the [AG’s] petition”
Scarpulla also finds that AG’s petition sufficiently alleges breach of fiduciary duty, as well as our claim that Trump intentionally used Foundation assets for his private interests knowing it might not be in the Foundation’s best interest.

She denies Trump request for discovery

#SCOTUS, 5-4, has rejected challenges to President Trump's revised travel ban.
supremecourt.gov/opinions/17pdf…
Along the way, #SCOTUS appears to overrule Korematsu, the decision that upheld the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II. "Korematsu was gravely wrong the day it was decided."
Justice Kennedy writes separately: "An anxious world must know that our Government remains committed always to the liberties the Constitution seeks to preserve and protect, so that freedom extends outward, and lasts."
