The Supreme Court ended its latest term by giving business owners a license to discriminate under the guise of free speech. But a strange aspect of the case has taken on a life of its own — namely, the “service request” for a same-sex wedding that Colorado designer Lorie Smith received doesn’t appear to have

Ahead of Election Day 2016, the U.S. Supreme Court evenly divided, with four justices on the right and four justices on the left. Democrats tried to tell voters this was a historic, once-in-a-generation opportunity to stop the high court’s drift to the right.It didn’t work. Just enough Americans voted for Donald Trump anyway, and the

Although Donald Trump Jr. was accused of making homophobic comments against Pete Buttigieg earlier this year, he’s apparently more comfortable with the gay community than he has admitted in recent years.So says former Danity Kane member Aubrey O’Day, who allegedly had an affair with the former president’s firstborn son between 2011 and 2012.O’Day recently told

This won’t be a very relaxing summer for former President Donald Trump. These months before the presidential primaries begin are often a grueling time for a candidate, but he has the extra layer of stress that comes from having been federally indicted. Namely, several developments in the three weeks since his arraignment threaten to ratchet

Despite the promises of America’s founding documents, on Independence Day 2023, justice, the “general welfare,” “equal protection of the laws” and “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” are all at risk. The Supreme Court, conservative governors and gerrymandered state legislatures are racing to shrink fundamental rights and freedoms, enabled and empowered by structural inequities built into the Constitution.

It stands to reason that in a competitive Republican presidential primary, candidates are going to look for opportunities to pander to the party’s far-right base. It also stands to reason that a race-to-the-bottom dynamic will become inevitable, as White House hopefuls appeal to conservatives’ worst instincts and try to convince rabid GOP primary voters that

The Republican Party has revved up its anti-LGBTQ agenda in recent years, mostly under the banner of a backlash against trans rights and new trans-inspired gender norms. On Thursday, that renewed animosity appeared to kick into an even higher gear when Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ presidential campaign reposted a video that all but called for

Donald Trump’s co-defendant in the classified documents case, Walt Nauta, should have been arraigned by now. That arraignment is finally set to happen on Thursday, but these slight delays can add up in a case in which timing is everything.Remember, Judge Aileen Cannon initially set an August trial date. But as I noted at the

Listen to Donald Trump long enough and one of his favorite rhetorical strategies becomes unavoidable. It’s called the I’m-rubber-you’re-glue tactic. As regular readers know, it’s juvenile and ineffective, but the former president has nevertheless relied on this throughout his relatively brief political career.He’s especially quick to rely on the tactic when pushing back against those who’ve

June 24 marked one year since the Supreme Court, in the landmark Dobbs case, overturned Roe v. Wade, shockingly reversing almost 50 years of precedent to strip away what had been a constitutional right to an abortion.You see, the conservative justices in the majority of that 5-4 decision argued the Roe decision was “egregiously wrong” because
