Last night, President Joe Biden declared with certainty that two of the nine justices are not long for the Court. The question is which two are facing retirement or the reaper...jonathanturley.org/2024/07/06/the…
...even Thomas is six years younger than Biden. If he is predicting the death or retirement of Thomas within four years, he would presumably predict his own passing or retirement years ago...
...Running on the pledge to replace two departing justices could prove awkward if the justices are reluctant to be replaced or dispatched. This is not the first time that such premature claims led to the inconvenient lingering of the subjects:

Mayor Jacob Frey just called the claim of self-defense "b*llsh*t" and said that he watched the video. He apologized to the family and said that ICE is in Minnesota to "literally kill people." This is the type of rhetoric that fuels the rage. Perhaps wait for the investigation?...
...Frey says "let us offer the best version of ourselves . . . show them who we are." He added we will meet this moment "with love" while saying "get the f**k out of Minneapolis."
...Frey just said again that it "is not true" that this was done in self-defense because the woman was driving away from the officers...

If Maduro thought the seizure operation was scary, wait until he reads this superseding indictment. He is not just facing documented allegations of his facilitating drug transits, but also potential high-level cooperating witnesses...justice.gov/opa/media/1422…
...The indictment details how this was not just a criminal enterprise but a family enterprise. The socialism shtick concealed an alleged burgeoning narcotics operation. Cartel communism was a market-driven business using state power to enforce monopoly power.
...Maduro has asked to speak with his consulate, which is his right and that of his wife as foreign nationals. It raises an interesting question of whether the Venezuelan government has paid counsel. That could get around government challenges to the source of legal fees...

The Senate is moving forward with this resolution to block Trump's use of military force in Venezuela: kaine.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/…
Sponsor Sen. Tim Kaine undermined his claims by showing a striking misunderstanding of inherent presidential powers this week. x.com/JonathanTurley…
...The Democrats are counting on a handful of GOP senators to join them. One of the most discussed is Sen. Lisa Murkowski. The vote will be particularly interesting since ConocoPhillips is Alaska's largest oil producer and is owed billions for the seizure of its assets...
...ConocoPhillips can not only move on prior court rulings in its favor for billions in damages, but it also stands to be one of the most likely companies to restore oil production in the country.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has asserted that the operation violates Article II of the U.N. charter. However, it will be Article II of the U.S. Constitution that will be the primary focus in any litigation.washingtontimes.com/news/2026/jan/…
...The case could present a collision of international and U.S. law. Clearly, taking out the de facto head of state of Venezuela can be challenged under international law. However, this operation seems well within the navigational beacons laid out in past cases like Noriega...
...The President's reluctance to call for the installation of the opposition leader María Corina Machado may reflect the distinction between an arrest and a regime change. It is important for President Trump to remain focused on the criminal justice element to the operation...

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...

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
