FEMA: In case of nuclear war "try to maintain a distance of at least six feet between yourself and people who are not part of your household" and "if possible, wear a mask if you're sheltering with people who are not part of your household." invesbrain.com/fema-in-case-o….

The first major decision of Judge Jackson after her Supreme Court nomination may be to recuse herself from one of the most significant cases before the Court. Indeed, it seems she will have little practical or ethical choice... thehill.com/opinion/judici…
...While it may be a difficult concession for many for the Court's first black female justice, Biden's selection may actually reduce the votes determining the future use of race for admissions at colleges...
...The loss of Justice Stephen Breyer (and the recusal of his replacement) would reduce the balance to six conservative and two liberal justices. That could make it more difficult to secure a fractured plurality decision or a majority that maintains prior diversity rationales.

There appears to be movement on SWIFT though Germany is still reportedly wary. This would be a massive blow for Putin. foxnews.com/world/europe-c…
...The tough legal issue is that SWIFT requires approval from the U.S., Japan and the European Union (EU). Countries like Italy appear now ready to sign off, but the EU requires universal approval. That means Germany must agree...
...This will come at a cost for these European countries that exceeds the costs for the United States. However, it would have an immediate impact on Russia. It may even drive a wedge between Putin and his oligarchs.

The Supreme Court just added another important case to its already heavily-laden docket. It granted cert in 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis. This is a case that will address the right of artists to decline work that violates their religious values....
...The Court limited consideration to one weighty question: Whether applying a public-accommodation law to compel an artist to speak or stay silent violates the Free Speech Clause of the First Amendment...
...This could be the case that advocates hoped Masterpiece Cakeshop become a few years ago. This is a more direct case for claiming protected creative expression and opposing compelled speech. jonathanturley.org/2018/05/16/as-…

Trudeau continues to throw fuel on the fire in Canada with incendiary remarks. nypost.com/2022/02/16/jus… The emergency measures continue to alarm civil libertarians inside and outside Canada...jonathanturley.org/2022/02/16/tru…
...Once again,, this is an act of civil disobedience that has been used in protests for generations from BLM to environmental to civil rights protests. The government can clearly arrest those who block roads. Such arrests have occurred throughout these protests. However...
...Trudeau has invoked powers that can freeze funding and bank accounts as well as other heavy handed measures. The same powers could be used to shutdown other political causes and arrests their leaders. The implications of these powers for free speech in Canada are chilling.

This is a major problem and could substantially change the impact of the case on appeal. In this case, Judge Rakoff effectively supplied both the instructions and the answers for the jury...jonathanturley.org/2022/02/17/del…
...Palin should move for the verdict to be set aside and allow the appeal to go forward on the judge’s ruling alone. That is a much better appellate posture and would make the case a serious potential challenge to the application of the actual malice standard to public figures.
...There are members of the Supreme Court that have already raised discomfort over the standard being applied to public figures as opposed to public officials. However, the jury verdict made the case less compelling as a clean challenge. This may now remove that added baggage.

Judge Jed S. Rakoff came up with a curious legal version of a palindrome for Palin. Rakoff announced that, regardless of their verdict, he would again dismiss the case. In Rakoff's courtroom it would read the same: no liability for the New York Times...thehill.com/opinion/judici…
The Times helped create this standard as the victim of a bias campaign. The status is far less obvious today. The Times has become the very thing that the original decision sought to combat. The Times often uses this protection to shield false attacks on political opponents...
While the win for The Times is ordinarily a cause for celebration in the interests of journalism, even Judge Rakoff expressed mixed feelings about the dismissal in light of the conduct of the editors...
