In today's oral argument, the justices voiced the same skepticism that many of us having been raising about the civil fraud case brought by NY AG James...
...Here is Justice David Friedman: “Because I’ve gone through the case that you’ve cited, and all of them always involved consumer protection aspect — it involved protection of the market. You don’t have anything like that here.”...
...The five justices have an opportunity to uphold the integrity of the New York legal system after years of politically motivated actions by James and Bragg. It is a system that seems based on a Wilde Rule of success by excess: jonathanturley.org/2024/02/21/not…

Hi Just landed in Columbus for a speech at the Supreme Court. We have Callais! supremecourt.gov/opinions/25pdf…
...Justice Alito (as anticipated) wrote the majority opinion, ruling that the 2024 map mandating a second majority-black district, was "an unconstitutional racial gerrymander."...
...From Alito: "Correctly understood, Section 2 does not impose liability at odds with the Constitution, and it should not have imposed liability on Louisiana for its 2022 map. Compliance with Section 2 thus could not justify the State's use of race-based redistricting here."

Todd Blanche is speaking now and says that there are other cases similar to the Comey indictment where guilty pleas have been entered or cases are going to trial...
...Director Kash Patel just confirmed that this has been investigated for almost a year. He emphasized that career employees found this evidence and a grand jury returned this true bill. He noted that the grand jury was made aware that Comey withdrew the posting and apologized. That is an interesting fact since it will be raised in any trial, if this makes it to a trial.
...Blanche is emphasizing that this is just one example that the Justice Department will not take threats lightly. Blanche says that they will prove intent with witnesses and other conventional evidence...

James Comey has reportedly been indicted for a second time. Last September, he was charged with lying to Congress over leaks to the press. The case was then dismissed by a federal judge who found that the interim US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia had been improperly appointed.
...Late last year, the first indictment was dismissed over the challenged status of the acting United States Attorney. The Administration may now have cured that deficiency. The original indictment was disjointed due to the rejection of one count. It is not clear what the array of charges may be and whether it is again focusing on false statements under 18 U.S.C. 1001. jonathanturley.org/2025/11/25/try…
...There has been a suggestion in early reporting that Comey might be charged over his image of shells spelling 86 47. That would be a tough case given the likely First Amendment challenge that the statement (even if it had a lethal meaning) was still protected speech...

At the DOJ presser, Acting AG Todd Blanche just said the Cole Allen said that this was the floor above the ballroom with "hundreds of agents" between him and the President of the United States...
...He is pushing back on the notion that there was a security failure. He confirmed three charges: attempted assassination of the President (up to life imprisonment); interstate transport of a firearm (up to 10 years); discharge of the firearm in a crime (5 years)...
...US Attorney Jeanine Pirro confirmed, as expected, that there will be additional charges but that "it is clear that this was an attempted assassination of the President of the United States." She notes that Cole Allen made a reservation shortly after Trump announced that he would attempt the dinner...

Democratic politicians continue to condemn the U.S. campaign against Iran in the midst of critical talks. Yet, few have come close to the extremes of Sen. Chris Murphy (D., Conn.), who just responded to a report of 26 Iranian vessels evading the U.S. blockade with "awesome"...
...For decades, U.S. politicians followed the model of the "loyal opposition" in times of war. Of course, when John Hobhouse used that term in 1826, he could hardly imagine the likes of Chris Murphy applauding alleged Iranian propaganda.
...Murphy's office is now attempting to spin out of the controversy, claiming "The tweet was sarcasm." That would certainly explain a long line of public statements from Murphy, but it seems a bit odd in this context. The response was to alleged Iranian propaganda...

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson has issued another sole stinging dissent. In a 7-2 decision (with liberal justice Elena Kagan joining the majority), the Court upheld the authority of police to make a stop based on the totality of the circumstances...
...Jackson wrote that "I cannot fathom" how the seven justices could second-guess the lower court in rejecting the police claims. She accused her colleagues of mere "wordsmithing." Just for the record, it would be useful to review those words...
...The stop that Jackson (and the DC Circuit) found to be unjustified occurred after a call over a suspicious vehicle at 2am. When they arrived, two people ran from the car and the remaining passenger slowly began backing out of the parking lot with a door still open...
