Joe Biden just refused to answer whether he will support packing the Court with new members once elected. That is an extraordinary position. Many of us would not vote for a candidate who supports a court packing plan. usatoday.com/story/opinion/…
...Presidential election are not supposed to be constitutional blind dates. His running mate, Kamala Harris, has already come out in support of a court-packing scheme as have some of his top political allies...
...Schumer also insisted "everything is on the table." It is akin to Speaker Pelosi refusing to rule out the clearly abusive use of impeachment as a method of opposing a lame duck nomination. If Biden considers this a viable option, he is not a viable candidate for many of us.
This is not the Biden that we knew in the Senate and the person who once ruled out this option. He said today it is a "legitimate question" but will not answer it. If the question is legitimate, the refusal is not.

Fox just broke a criminal referral against Letitia James over alleged fraudulent housing loan filings. The filings include allegedly false representations that an out-of-state residence was her principal residence and other dubious claims...
...I reviewed the referral before going on Fox tonight. It took me less than a minute to find cases prosecuted under 18 U.S.C. 1014 for false claims of principal residences and the other allegations...
...For James, the irony is crushing. She previously prosecuted Trump for everything short of ripping a label off a mattress. She emphasized that Trump was ultimately responsible for any filings made in his name or that of his company...

After the arson at the home of Gov. Shapiro, I was deluged with emails due to my past writings on the rise in leftist violence. One writer seemed to gloat about a conservative arsonist and asked why "no morally superior comments about that? At the risk of being a buzz kill...
...USA Today is reporting that Cody Balmer was a critic of both Biden and Trump and had a particular hatred for Shapiro. That does not mean that violence does not come from far-right groups. It has and is equally disgraceful...usatoday.com/story/news/inv…
...Indeed, we still do not know much about Balmer's motivation and this certainly appears to be political violation. He appears deeply disturbed and his life was falling apart...

According to Fox, the judge in the Khalil case has just indicated that his deportation can move forward and that he is "removable." Khalil will now be allowed time to appeal...
...That would be a major win for the Trump Administration. As I just mentioned on Fox, the Administration seemed intent on winning this case on the statute rather than the case facts. It clearly wanted to establish precedent for hundreds of other cases...
...It will now likely use the same two-page declaration or a variation in other cases. The problem for Khalil's counsel is the underlying conduct, which is sweeping in its authority afforded to the Secretary of State.

Some Democrats seem to be moving from coded racism to outright racism, as with the mayor of Newark. Not to be outdone, Rep. Jasmine Crockett attacked Rep. Byron Donalds (who has a white wife): “Married a white woman ... and now you're whitewashed.”...jonathanturley.org/2025/03/29/rei…
...After the absurd spin on mocking the Texas governor as wheelchair bound, it will be a challenge to spin out of this openly racist attack on Donalds. This is the woman who was celebrated by the Human Rights Campaign where the audience laughed uproariously at the Abbott attack.
...These are people addicted to rage. They do not like to admit it, but they like it. They are rage addicts. simonandschuster.com/books/The-Indi…

Hillary Clinton is now speaking in Berlin. It has been a love fest for the Clintons. Clinton started by trashing “the government I the United States” as now supporting “autocrats”…
…Clinton immediately turned to the need to control information which “controls what we think.” She insisted that there must be a protection for “facts” : a chilling message from one of the most outspoken champions for censorship and speech regulations.
…Clinton is the perfect personification of the goal to crate “A New World Order: Based on European Values”. It is American values that are a bit more of a challenge for a leader who called on the EU to use the Digital Services Act to censor Americans.

I am in Berlin to speak at the World Forum. I am currently listening to the opening session at a conference pointedly named recently as “A New World Order: European Values”…
Bill and Hillary Clinton were just celebrated as leadership “truly made America great again.” When it comes to free speech, the Clintons certainly represent “European Values” on free speech…
…After Elon Musk bought Twitter and dismantled most of the company’s censorship program, Hillary Clinton turned to Europe and called upon them to use their Digital Services Act to force censorship against Americans…
