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.

In the oral argument of Nat'l Republican Senatorial Cmte v. Federal Election Comm., many are waiting for the appearance of Marc Elias, the central figure in the Steele dossier scandal and a lawyer who has attacked the Republican majority. ...jonathanturley.org/2025/12/08/mar…
...That distraction aside, the Administration's argument against the Colorado law limiting coordinated spending is being challenged by the liberal justices as Sarah Harris makes the case...
...Roman Martinez with Defending Limits on Coordinated Campaign Spending is making a spirited case against the standing of the challengers...

In the longest legal case of sustained comatose life, the case of Fani Willis was finally put to rest today when the formal declination of Pete Skandalakis, the executive director of the Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council of Georgia. ...apnews.com/live/trump-new…
...As expected, once a competent prosecutor without a political agenda reviewed the case, it collapsed. Some of us have ridiculed the racketeering case as legal and factually incomprehensible...
...Willis spent millions on a case that was ultimately derailed by her own unethical conduct in hiring her former lover as prosecutor. She was lionized by the media and liberal pundits for her use of lawfare and ultimately reelected despite her ruinous handling of the prosecution

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) actually attacked EPA head Lee Zeldin for receiving money from one “Jeffrey Epstein"-- the problem was that it was a different Jeffrey Epstein, a NY doctor...
...Zeldon responded.
...This appears all part of the plan, according to Crockett:
"I always tell people that God had this amazing, beautiful plan that I was definitely not clued in on" ...

Hunter Biden appears intent on showing that rage can be as addictive as drugs. In his latest profane tirade, Biden viciously attacked journalist Miranda Devine as "horrendously ugly" and a "whore" for exposing his influence peddling and corruption...
...I have previously noted how Devine and her colleagues defied virtually all of the establishment media in doggedly pursuing the laptop story. There will be no Pulitzer for them, of course. That went to the Times and the Post for the debunked Russiagate story...
...Of course, Hunter would likely be serving time now for the information confirmed by Devine and her colleagues on the laptop, except for his father breaking his word and giving him a pardon...

The acquittal of former Justice Department employee Sean Dunn today seems more like the result of jury nullification than deliberation. Dunn did not deny throwing his sandwich and hitting an officer in the misdemeanor case. ... foxnews.com/us/ex-doj-work…
...His counsel argued that it was all just free speech: "It was a harmless gesture at the end of him exercising his right to speak out." So now citizens can pummel officers with objects as an "exclamation point"?...
...The message will not only be heard by citizens in Washington but officers that in the District jurors will treat violence as free expression. This was not a serious assault, but it was worthy of a misdemeanor in my view...

Solicitor General John Sauer just began the Administration's argument on the Trump tariffs...
Sauer is getting hit hard on tariffs being an Article I power (with Congress) as opposed to an Article II power (with the President). Justices Kagan and Sotomayor are raising the issue...
...Sauer is doing a very able job with prior precedent and the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). However, Justice Jackson is pressing on how IEEPA was meant to constrain, not expand, presidential authority...
