Today the Judiciary Committee advanced the Reauthorizing Security for Supreme Court Justices Act (S. 2511), introduced by Chairman @LindseyGrahamSC and @SenatorSinema.

The bill would provide permanent additional security for U.S. Supreme Court Justices.
@LindseyGrahamSC @SenatorSinema “I am very pleased that the Judiciary Committee passed legislation I introduced with Senator Sinema that would authorize Supreme Court Police to carry firearms outside the grounds of the Supreme Court to protect our Justices," said Chairman @LindseyGrahamSC.
@LindseyGrahamSC @SenatorSinema Graham continued, "And I appreciate Senator Sinema for working with me on this important bill.

"It's very important that our Court be provided the security they need to remain a safe, independent branch of the government.”

Recently, Chairman @LindseyGrahamSC and Ranking Member @SenFeinstein's bipartisan bill to keep dangerous drugs off the street passed the Senate.

The current temporary scheduling order, which keeps fentanyl-related substances illegal, is set to expire on February 6, 2020.
Now, it's up to the House of Representatives to pass the bipartisan Temporary Reauthorization and Study of the Emergency Scheduling of Fentanyl Analogues Act (S. 3201).

Important piece written by Debbie Smith calling for the House to pass the Senate’s measure to reauthorize the Debbie Smith Act -which provides funding to reduce backlog of DNA evidence, including untested rape kits- before it expires on Sept. 30. #PassDSA

“When the House returns on Sept. 9, they’ll need to vote to reauthorize the Debbie Smith Act before the program expires..” –Debbie Smith

The Debbie Smith Act was:
• Unanimously reauthorized in '08 & '14
• Advanced by Senate Judiciary & passed by full Senate in May ‘19
This "grant program funding corrects the wrongs of the past, addresses the present and prepares us for a better, safer tomorrow. It is a proven, sound investment that deserves immediate approval by the House. It is the right thing to do.” -Debbie Smith

THREAD: @afneil needs reminding that although his arguments regarding the EU referendum result and leaflets are well intentioned, they are *legally* incorrect.

@A50Challenge have made this perfectly clear.
@afneil @A50Challenge 1. Andrew Neil has suggested that the leaflet the government sent to every household said: “we will implement your decision”. This in itself is correct. But leaflets do not constitute law. He has clearly confused political and parliamentary sovereignty.
@afneil @A50Challenge 2. The Government maintains that the 2016 EU Referendum was a decision to leave the EU – a decision “by the people”. This is untrue. The Referendum was advisory only- the Supreme Court has ruled that neither the govt nor the people are legally entitled to make such a decision.

Here is an actual clause of the #USConstitution:

“...no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.”

US Constitution, Article VI, Clause 3

#buescher
#nominee
#Nebraska
Suppose that Article VI had a further Clause, Clause 4, that stated, “no racial identity shall ever be the basis for a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.”
Now, such a clause would prohibit the President from granting or withholding an office based on racial identity, and, in like vein, would prohibit the Senate from withholding consent to a nomination, or granting it, on the basis of racial identity.

Tonight, the Pres. will announce his nominee for Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the US to fill the vacancy created by Justice Kennedy’s recent retirement. Justice Kennedy left an important legacy of more than three decades on the Supreme Court.

I voted for his confirmation thirty years ago. Justice Kennedy demonstrated his deep commitment to our constitutional liberties. It’s no surprise that some of his greatest opinions defended free speech and religious liberty.
