Virginia court puts pause on voter-passed congressional maps boosting Democrats

But on Wednesday, Judge Jack Hurley Jr of the Tazewell county circuit court blocked the state from taking any action to implement the new districts, following a lawsuit filed by the Republican National Committee. The committee had argued to the court that the timing and phrasing of the measure were illegal. 

Jay Jones, the Virginia attorney general, said his office planned to appeal the ruling. “

As I said last night, Virginia voters have spoken, and an activist judge should not have veto power over the People’s vote. We look forward to defending the outcome of last night’s election in court,” Jones said…

Trump administration appeals Jenner & Block win over executive order

U.S. District Judge John Bates, an appointee of former President George W. Bush, slammed Trump's order against Jenner & Block as an effort to "chill legal representation the administration doesn't like" in his ruling finding the directive unlawful. 

He said such efforts insulate the executive branch from checks by the judiciary, which he called "fundamental" to the separation of powers...

‘He didn’t do it’: days before execution in South Carolina, key witness says he lied

Two days before South Carolina is scheduled to execute a man on death row, the key witness for the prosecution has come forward to say that he lied at trial and the state was putting to death an innocent man.

His attorneys filed emergency motions to halt the execution, citing new testimony asserting that Allah was wrongfully convicted, but the state supreme court denied the requests late Thursday, saying the execution should proceed...

Mock Trial: Should Trump’s Conviction Stand? (John Donvan; Open to Debate podcast)

Donald Trump is the first former president to be convicted of a crime. He was found guilty of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in the first degree under New York law. Trump has the right to appeal and announced the day after the conviction that he would. 

Now there is also a Supreme Court ruling that says presidential immunity is permitted for official acts committed in office. Legal scholars are questioning whether his conviction could be overturned and what could come next. 

Those defending the New York court conviction argue that no individual, regardless of their office, is above the law, and keeping Trump accountable is crucial for upholding the rule of law. Its overturning would set a dangerous precedent undermining the judicial system’s integrity. 

Those arguing for the defendant argue the laws under which Trump was convicted were misinterpreted or misapplied, possibly extending beyond their intended scope and his actions, since they were during his tenure, and some may have been within remit of his official duties.

Now, we take this question to a mock trial: Should Trump’s Conviction Stand?

DOJ called out Trump Judge Aileen Cannon with Mar-a-Lago appeal.

The wisdom of this approach is that it also gives the court a way out. It can enter the stay, avoiding the embarrassment of the appellate court possibly doing so. It also simplifies the appointment and selection of a special master. If the classified documents are not included, and the special master does not need to have any security clearances to be selected, the person can begin work now...
