Supreme Court will consider landmark challenge to affirmative action policies

affirmative actionSophie Mann – The Supreme Court announced Monday it will reconsider race-based affirmative action in college admissions, a decision that could eliminate a practice that in recent years primarily benefitted black and Hispanic applicants.

The high court says it will hear challenges to policies at Harvard and the University of North Carolina that use students’ race as one criteria to decide who should gain admission. Continue reading

Is High Court Airing Out “the Stench” from Oral Argument Over Abortion?

SotomayorJonathan Turley – In Wednesday’s Supreme Court oral argument in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, Justice Sonya Sotomayor got a whiff of something she did not like. She said many abortion opponents, including the sponsors of the Mississippi abortion law at issue, hoped her three new colleagues would allow for the reversal or reduction of Roe v. Wade.

With Justices Brett Kavanaugh, Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett listening, she asked, “Will this institution survive the stench” created from such political machinations — and then answered: “I don’t see how it is possible.” Continue reading

Rose McGowan lit up Twitter

McGowanThe Horn editorial team – Hollywood actress-turned-activist Rose McGowan lit up Twitter yesterday.

Since the 2020 primary elections, she has become increasingly critical of the Democrats. Yesterday she slammed two of the party’s biggest figureheads: the Clintons.

And she said she has a “bomb” that will take down former President Bill Clinton.

“You are a shadow leader in service of evil,” McGowan said of former State Secretary Hillary Clinton. “You are the enemy of what is good, right and moral. You represent no flag, no country, no soul. You eat hope, you twist minds. I’ve been in a hotel room with your husband and here comes the bomb.” Continue reading

The Supreme Court: Cowards, Crooks, or Compromised?

Andrew W. Coy – Repeatedly in the past year – before the election, when Democrats put into place unconstitutional election rules, and after the election, when people begged it to review fraud claims – a majority on the United States Supreme Court went through mental gymnastics to create reasons not to hear claims about the 2020 election. They did this even though there was already precedence from the top court in Bush v. Gore 2000. Why? Why the staunch refusal by the Supreme Court?

Just now entering the debate is former military intelligence Captain Seth Keshel (ret.), whose findings may force the Supreme Court to grapple with questions about the election. Keshel’s earthshaking scientific data election report contends that President Trump probably won seven states that had been called for Biden (Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Nevada, and Minnesota).

The Supreme Court has Become a Council of Kings

constitutionJohn Green – In this month’s edition of “let’s kill the Constitution,” we have the CDC’s eviction moratorium as the next demonstration that no one in our government feels compelled to comply with the Constitution anymore.

In Alabama Association of Realtors v. Department of Health and Human Services, the Supreme Court upheld the CDC eviction moratorium and did so in a manner that vastly expanded the Court’s power and authority.  The moratorium required that property owners allow others to squat on their property, without compensation, for over a year.

It was clearly a violation of constitutionally protected property rights.  It restricted what property-owners could and could not do with their own property, without compensation or due process. Continue reading
