ICYMI: SCOTUS Protects Religious Liberty in COVID Restrictions Case

Posted on Blog by Elizabeth Bradford · November 30, 2020 6:52 PM

In a victory for religious liberty, the United States Supreme Court granted an injunction last Wednesday, protecting two New York religious organizations from New York Governor Andrew Cuomo's executive order that imposed "very severe restrictions on attendance at religious services in areas classified as 'red' or 'orange' zones" pending a decision on the merits of the case by the Second Circuit.

The Court's unsigned per curiam opinion was joined by Justices Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett. Both Justices Gorsuch and Kavanaugh wrote concurring opinions. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote a dissenting opinion. Justice Breyer also authored a dissenting opinion that Justices Sotomayor and Kagan joined. Justice Sotomayor wrote her own dissenting opinion joined by Justice Kagan.

The Myth of Good Ol' Joe Biden

Posted on Blog by Michael Thielen · October 30, 2020 5:30 PM

Democrats shouldn't blame Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell for “ruining” the Supreme Court nomination and confirmation process by not waiting until after the election. The truth is, Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden broke the process long ago. . .

Biden is responsible for the single worst political trend in the last 35 years: the politicization of Supreme Court nominations.

SCOTUS Rejects VBM Extension in WI

Posted on Blog by Elizabeth Bradford · October 27, 2020 7:11 PM

In a 5-3 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to reinstate the Wisconsin absentee ballot deadline extension ordered by a lower court earlier this year and kept the deadline established by Wisconsin law in place. As a result, absentee ballots must be received by election day to be counted. This is another victory for the integrity of November's election.

Americans Say "Yes" to ACB and "No" to Court Packing

Posted on Blog by Elizabeth Bradford · October 21, 2020 4:56 PM

2020 has led to many differences among the American people, but a majority of Americans agree on 2 things: Senators should confirm Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the U.S. Supreme Court and say "no" to court packing. The percentage of Americans who support Judge Barrett's confirmation has increased by nearly 15% since President Trump announced her nomination to the Court.

Final Day of ACB Hearings Exposes How Dems Really Feel

Posted on Blog by Elizabeth Bradford · October 15, 2020 7:50 PM

The final day of Supreme Court confirmation hearings for Judge Amy Coney Barrett showed what we already knew: Senate Democrats incorrectly believe that the courts should make policy decisions.

Senate Democrats were relentless this week in their quest to get Judge Barrett to weigh in on their campaign issues, and signal how she would approach cases that might come before her. /2

ACB Hearing Day 3: Best Nominee this Century

Posted on Blog by Michael Thielen · October 14, 2020 8:51 PM

After 3 long days of hearings, Judge Amy Coney Barrett has emerged as one of the most brilliant Supreme Court nominees in recent history. Former Judiciary Committee Counsel Greg Nunziata and current TV Commentator argued: 

ACB turned in one of the best hearing performances of 21st century Supreme Court nominees.

I'd say Roberts, Kagan, and Barrett are the top three (coincidentally, one for each POTUS), but not sure in what order.

Day 1 of ACB Hearings, Democrats Try to Make it a Democrat Primary Forum on Healthcare

Posted on Blog by Michael Thielen · October 12, 2020 9:01 PM

Earlier today, the Senate Judiciary Committee completed opening statements in the Supreme Court confirmation hearings for Judge Amy Coney Barrett.  That needs to be said because, listening to Democrats, you would think it was a healthcare candidates' forum in New Hampshire.  (Hint their message was: "Trump bad, Obamacare good.")  RNLA live tweeted the hearing and will live tweet the Senators questioning of Judge Barrett over the next two days.  Below are some highlights from the RNLA’s Twitter (@thereplawyer) and others:

Senate Judiciary Dems stuck to Sen. Schumer’s talking points (at least for today), but tellingly none of them disavowed the anti-religious, anti-woman, despicable attacks on Judge Barrett made by their mainstream media surrogates and progressive allies. Like this 👇 https://t.co/i0qT8FzzMx

Like Biden, Harris Refused to Answer Court Packing Question

Posted on Blog by Republican National Lawyers Association (RNLA) · October 08, 2020 10:14 AM

In the most striking moment of last night’s Vice Presidential Debate, Senator Kamala Harris refused to answer on court packing. But first, let us briefly address Senator Harris' citing of President Lincoln not filling a Supreme Court vacancy 27 days before an election.

ACB Nomination: Kavanaugh Smear Machine Used in Today’s Attacks

Posted on Blog by Michael Thielen · October 07, 2020 9:12 PM

Today the Washington Post wrote a hit piece on Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s religion.  The writer, Emma Brown, is a familiar name to those who work on confirmations: 

Democrats are laundering their (admittedly weak) anti-religious smear of Amy Coney Barrett through Emma Brown, the same reporter they used to launch their massive and media-coordinated anti-Kavanaugh operation that so many Americans found so despicable. https://t.co/WRVyuD2WQ1
