NEW: Judicial Watch filed an amicus curiae brief with the U.S. Supreme Court supporting petitioner Tyson Timbs against the State of Indiana, which JW contends abused its power in a civil asset forfeiture case. The case was heard by SCOTUS this week. (1/4)

In their amicus brief, Judicial Watch (along with Allied Educational Foundation) expressed their concern that “the Indiana Supreme Court’s ruling, if allowed to stand, will allow state and local government abuses of forfeiture laws to continue.” (2/4)
jwatch.us/1ECezC
Judicial Watch & Allied Educational Foundation further told the Supreme Court that “freedom from unlawful conversion of property is an inherent individual liberty right which the Constitution must secure for all citizens.” (3/4)

Judicial Watch President @TomFitton: “The Supreme Court should stop an egregious abuse of civil forfeiture laws in which state and local governments fill their coffers by seizing the property of citizens.” (4/4)

BREAKING: Judicial Watch signed a settlement agreement with the State of California & the County of L.A. under which they’ll begin the process of removing from voter registration rolls up to 1.5 million inactive registered names that may be invalid. (1/8)
jwatch.us/vUVqet
This Judicial Watch lawsuit confirmed that Los Angeles County has on its rolls 1.5 million or more potentially ineligible voters. This means over one in every five L.A. County registrations likely belongs to a voter who has moved or is deceased. (2/8)
jwatch.us/vUVqet
This JW lawsuit related to the National Voter Registration Act also uncovered the stunning fact that neither the State of California nor Los Angeles County had been removing inactive voters from their voter registration rolls for the past 20 years. (3/8)

NEW: JW filed an amicus curiae brief in the Supreme Court in an effort to overturn a decision of the 10th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals that upheld Utah’s law engineered by GOP legislators to compel GOP members to change how they choose candidates. (1/3)
jwatch.us/GcCJ43
Until 2014, GOP members elected delegates to represent them at the nominating convention, which selected candidates for the general election ballot. But the Utah legislature enacted SB 54, which effectively compels parties to hold primary elections. (2/3)

JW President @TomFitton: Republican power-brokers in Utah hate party conventions which they can’t control, so they passed an unconstitutional law to control the party at the expense of grassroots activists. The Supreme Court shouldn’t let this stand. (3/3)

In a related Oct. 2017 lawsuit, DOJ refused to release Mueller’s budget, but later was forced to release details from the redacted Aug. 2nd memo where Deputy AG Rosenstein gave broad authority to Mueller – three months after Mueller’s appointment. (2/5)

Some of the most important legal work in defense of constitutional limits on federal governance is being conducted by @JudicialWatch, led by @TomFitton.

True enough that I'm biased ... #JW's work has helped to expose @HillaryClinton's and @BarackObama's secret state.
I just finished reading a decision in one of their long-running FOIA lawsuits, #JudicialWatchvUSDeptofState. You can read the decision here:

The decision is by Judge Royce Lamberth, who serves as a federal district court judge, after he was confirmed to that position with the US District Court for the District of Columbia during the Reagan administration.

Coincidence the news today is focused on a resignation?

If this is a narrative change wouldn’t that mean NH is in on it, in a bad way?
I’m just thinking out loud! I don’t know if this is the case! Since I don’t trust her, it’s easy for me to think this!
