Before completing his testimony, Comey was asked if he regretted his various public statements dismissing allegations that have now been proved correct, particularly after he now admitted that he would not have signed the Page application . . .
...He was specifically asked about his column in 2019 on "Lie and Dumb Lies." He said that he does not know of anything in the column that he would change...
...How about? "But go ahead, investigate the investigators, if you must. When those investigations are over, you will find the work was done appropriately and focused only on discerning the truth of very serious allegations...Those are lies, and dumb lies at that."...
...Comey just admitted that the work was not "done appropriately." McCabe, Strzok, and other were fired. One is criminally charged.Russian disinformation may been fed to the FBI. The FISA court denounced the FBI's conduct. But Comey would still call this all "lies and dumb lies"?

We have twelve cases still in the pipeline for Supreme Court decisions today. This is unlikely to be the last day of the term, but I will be covering the cases at 10 am.
...Some have asked about my predictions on birthright citizens and the transgender cases. The odds are still against the Administration on birthright citizenship. The Chief may take that case and he seemed highly skeptical. On the transgender cases, I am betting for the states in being able to limit sports to biological sex...
...On the delay, it is often common for the Court to add days. Sometimes the release is delayed by dissenting opinions. However, the Court often holds major cases for the last day. The Supreme Court is not without its sense of theater...

If California hits its target, “LGBT-owned businesses” will receive $633 million in contracts. Putting aside the imposition of such agendas on companies at a time of rising energy costs, the certification process for being an LGBT business is astonishing. jonathanturley.org/2026/06/18/gay…
...Keep in mind that we have other major opinions, including the possible overturning of Humphrey's Executor in Trump v. Slaughter...

In responding to a challenge from Sen. Fetterman to prove that he did not send naked pictures to women, Graham Platner immediately raised the Jews, declaring that Fetterman is a tool of AIPAC. It appears that the tattoo may be obscured, but a certain obsession remains...
...Graham wrote that Fetterman is not disliked due to his hoodie: "It's not the hoodie, dude. It's because you've become a stooge for AIPAC and the Republican party." Notably, it is the same narrative of his defenders.
...Graham is accused of assault, degrading women, defaming veterans, mocking rape victims, praising Hamas, and ridiculing rural people. However, the real problem is again AIPAC and the Jews?

I strongly disagree with the push for a constitutional amendment to bar foreign-born legislators. foxnews.com/politics/mace-… While I have suggested the possible tinyurl.com/f86u4tce, I cannot think of anything more antithetical to our founding than barring foreign-born citizens from Congress. As a nation of immigrants, it is a reaffirmation of our heritage to have these citizens serve in government...
...Such an amendment would bar members ranging from Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio, to Victoria Spartz, R-Ind. to Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., to Young Kim, R-Calif.. Regardless of their politics or controversies, they represent inspiring achievements in their communities and a reaffirmation of our core values.
...The founders themselves were immigrants and many foreign-born citizens have served with great distinction in our military and our government.

I recently wrote on Marc Elias responding to the Virginia Supreme Court's adverse opinion on gerrymandering by reminding citizens that they can eliminate the entire Virginia government. Elias cannot understand why I and others find his posting notable...jonathanturley.org/2026/05/13/dem…
...He notes that he is merely quoting the Constitution after all. It is like responding to an adverse trade ruling by the WTO by quoting Article I, Section 8, Clause 11 on the ability of Congress to declare war. It is a rather extreme measure to invoke...tinyurl.com/5dhz5eur
...The posting came as Democrats pushed to sack-and-pack the Virginia Supreme Court, reminding people that they could go even further in taking down part or all of the Virginia government for being denied the right to effectively eliminate all Republican representations in the purple state... jonathanturley.org/2026/05/10/gut…

The collective primal scream session is continuing over the decision of the Virginia Supreme Court that Democrats violated the Constitution in the gerrymandering vote. Yet, Sen. Tim Kaine offered a moment of unintended levity when he questioned why the Court waited so long...
...Kaine questioned why the Court did not rule earlier. However, it was the Democrats who insisted on the Court waiting. The Court had a whole section on how the Commonwealth insisted on the delay...
...Kaine previously made headlines by denouncing those who believe in natural law and God-given rights as little better than Iranian mullahs. Here, Kaine is criticizing a court for not explaining a delay that his party demanded and the court addressed.jonathanturley.org/2025/09/08/the…
