Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Topline Criminal suspects now have less legal recourse if police officers fail to read them their Miranda rights—that they have the “right to remain silent” and to an attorney—as the Supreme Court ruled Thursday that law enforcement cannot be sued for violating Americans’ civil rights if they fail to inform people of their Miranda rights, even if it leads to the suspect incriminating themselves. Key Facts “Miranda rights,” which the Supreme Court first established in a separate 1996 case , are read to criminal suspects when they’re arrested, informing them of their rights and that “anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.” The court ruled 6-3 Thursday against a man who was questioned by law enforcement after being accused of sexual assault and was not read his Miranda rights, which resulted in him then issuing a written statement apologizing for the crime that was used against him … [Read more...] about Police Who Don’t Confirm ‘Right To Remain Silent’ When Making Arrests Can’t Be Sued, Supreme Court Rules

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Topline Within hours of the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, some Republicans began pushing for new abortion restrictions, possibly adding to over a dozen states already on track to ban the procedure—but this gambit may face legal and political obstacles. Key Facts The Republican governors of Indiana , Nebraska , South Carolina , Virginia and Montana applauded Friday’s ruling and urged state lawmakers to take action, though many governors didn’t specify whether they favor abortion bans or narrower restrictions. Some of those governors could face headwinds: Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) told the Washington Post Friday he wants to ban abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy, but Democrats hold a majority in the Virginia Senate, and Montana’s Supreme Court has ruled the state constitution protects abortion access. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) said Friday his state will … [Read more...] about GOP-Run States Push New Abortion Restrictions After Supreme Court Strikes Down Roe

FILE PHOTO: Police officers walk outside the U.S. Supreme Court in Washington, U.S., May 3, 2022. REUTERS/Evelyn Hockstein/File Photo WASHINGTON — The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday shielded police from the risk of paying money damages for failing to advise criminal suspects of their rights before obtaining statements later used against them in court, siding with a Los Angeles County deputy sheriff. The justices ruled 6-3 in favor of deputy sheriff Carlos Vega, who had appealed a lower court decision reviving a lawsuit by a hospital employee named Terence Tekoh who accused the officer of violating his rights under the U.S. Constitution’s Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimination. Tekoh was charged with sexually assaulting a hospital patient after Vega obtained a written confession from him without first informing the suspect of his rights through so-called Miranda warnings. Tekoh was acquitted at trial. The court’s six conservatives were in the majority in the … [Read more...] about US Supreme Court protects police from ‘Miranda’ lawsuits

By Larry Keane President Donald Trump’s nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett is again delivering on his promise to return the judiciary to jurists who will faithfully interpret law as it is written. The president delivered on his original campaign promise to nominate justices to the U.S. Supreme Court “in the mold of Justice Scalia.” “Amy Coney Barrett will decide cases based on the text of the Constitution as written,” President Trump said of his nominee in the White House Rose Garden. “As Amy has said being a judge takes courage, you are not there to decide cases as you may prefer. You are there to do your duty and to follow the law wherever it may take you. That is exactly what Judge Barrett will do on the U.S. Supreme Court.” President Trump broke campaign precedent in 2016 when he released his original list of 11 possible nominees he said he would consider to fill a Supreme Court vacancy. He added 10 additional names just months later, cementing his commitment to … [Read more...] about Supreme Court Nominee Judge Amy Coney Barrett A Jurist For All Rights

On May 2, just hours before Politico published a leaked Supreme Court draft opinion to overturn Roe v. Wade , the anti-abortion group Focus on the Family released a series of alarmist ads on Facebook and Instagram. They contain assorted motifs from a now-familiar playbook of anti-abortion canon: In one, the words “I’M ALIVE” accompany a bright-eyed infant’s photographed image; in another, an exhortation to “help a vulnerable mom choose LIFE!” is stamped over a baby’s feet. But all are accompanied by the same fear-mongering caption (“Scared. Overwhelmed. Hopeless. These emotions and more pulsate through an abortion-minded woman.”) and plea for money (“Just $60 saves a life!”). advertisement advertisement The ads would appear to violate Facebook and Instagram parent company Meta’s policy against misinformation in advertisements: Research debunks a link between abortion and negative mental health outcomes either … [Read more...] about Ahead of the Supreme Court’s Roe decision, social media is rife with anti-abortion misinformation

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Topline Voting company Dominion Voting Systems’ defamation lawsuit against Fox Corporation—including Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch—can move forward, a judge ruled Tuesday, as Dominion and rival company Smartmatic pursue a dozen defamation lawsuits over baseless election fraud claims about their voting machines. Key Facts Delaware state Judge Eric M. Davis denied Fox Corporation’s motion to dismiss the case against it, which alleged Fox executives—namely the Murdochs—“exerted direct control over Fox News’ programming decisions” in the aftermath of the 2020 election and thus were responsible for the network’s false fraud claims involving Dominion machines.

The abortion debate has become a major focus in the midterms after a leaked draft decision from the Supreme Court indicated Roe v. Wade will be overturned. “[Democrats are] gonna use every single dirty trick in the book, so I do think that we should be a little more on the offensive,” Carson Steelman, press secretary for Heritage Action, told The Daily Caller News Foundation. Multiple Republicans in battleground states have emphasized that little will change in their state if Roe was thrown out, while Democrats have argued the opposite. Both Republicans and Democrats have been forced to reconfigure their election strategies only six months before the midterms due to the unprecedented leak from the Supreme Court indicating Roe v. Wade will be overturned.
