States could, in theory, try to keep Mr. Trump off the ballot by passing legislation requiring a clean criminal record, but this would be on legally shaky ground. The California Supreme Court also unanimously blocked it as a violation of the state constitution, and the case never reached the U.S. Supreme Court. And the 14th Amendment is separate from criminal cases, meaning convictions would not disqualify Mr. Trump either. Now that Mr. Trump has secured a majority of delegates to the Republican convention, the party has no mechanism to nominate somebody else. Mr. Trump is registered to vote in Florida, and he would be disenfranchised there if convicted of a felony.

Trump repeated his vow that even a conviction would not stop his presidential campaign. "Not at all," Trump told conservative radio host John Fredericks when asked if a conviction and sentence would end his campaign. The former president is correct there is nothing that would stop a presidential candidate from campaigning if one were to be convicted. Trump faces a growing array of legal issues, underlining how his presidential campaign has increasingly become a fight for his own survival. "It's always unpleasant when you have to go and tell your wife, tomorrow sometime I'm going to be indicted," Trump said.

A GOP Arkansas bill targeting drag is so confusing it may not even apply to most drag performances, according to a constitutional expert. According to an Arkansas drag queen, the bill would severely impact the LGBTQ+ community. If enacted, it would classify a drag performances and places that host them as "adult-oriented" — like adult video stores and strip clubs. Arkansas drag queen MD Hunter has been "on the front lines" fighting against SB43On January 19, Arkansas drag queen MD Hunter gave a testimony before the Arkansas Senate about SB43. Despite the confusing nature of the bill, drag advocates are worried about how it could be applied.

But the legislation is also rankling court watchdogs who contend the bill could complicate efforts to scrutinize the judicial branch for ethics issues. The bill does not displace the ethical disclosure requirements judges already face, the congressional aide noted to CNN. And it extends the threat-monitoring programs that are being offered to Article III judges to administrative judges as well. Now that the bill has been added to the National Defense Authorization Act, a massive defense package that Congress passes annually, Paul’s options for scuttling it are limited. “Because, if I am sued, someone is going to be bringing it to a federal judge.

New York politicians are slapping a badge on my chest. A law going into effect Saturday requires social-media networks, including any site that allows comments, to publish a plan for responding to alleged hate speech by users. The law blog I run fits the bill, so the law will mandate that I post publicly my policy for responding to comments that “vilify, humiliate, or incite violence against a group” based on “race, color, religion, ethnicity, national origin, disability, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression.” It also requires that I give readers a way to complain about my blog’s content and obligates me to respond directly.

First Amendment rights do not extend to threats of violence and voter intimidation. A great deal of the attention has been on ballot drop boxes. There has been no indication of any widespread fraud through the use of ballot drop boxes. Nonetheless, conspiracy theories about the drop boxes have continued to circulate, fueled in part by a widely debunked film by Dinesh D’Souza, “2000 Mules,” which uses false and unproven claims to try to show drop boxes being used for fraud. Reporting by NBC News shows that ballot drop box conspiracies have flooded Trump’s social media website, Truth Social, and that has led to organizing on the ground, including in places like Arizona.

Sursa foto: APFranţa va trimite Statelor Unite o a doua statuie a LibertăţiiLa 135 de ani de la inaugurarea primei Statui a Libertăţii, o nouă Miss Liberty va sosi pe 4 iulie la New York, în SUA pentru sărbătoarea naţională, conform Le Journal du dimanche. A doua Miss Liberty va fi instalată în grădina ambasadorului francez şi va rămâne zece ani în Statele Unite, precizează Le Point. Franţa a decis să ofere a doua Statuie a Libertăţii "pentru a aduce omagiu tuturor celor care au permis, de cele două părţi ale Atlanticului, au făcut posibilă edificarea statuii şi care s-au luptat pentru ceea ce simbolizează ea în lumea întreagă". Această a doua statuie va rămâne zece ani în SUA, perioada de împrumut consimţită de Conservatorul din Quai d'Orsay, apoi va reveni în Franţa. Prima Statuie a Libertăţii de aproape 93 de metri înălţime a fost concepută de Eugène Viollet-le-Duc, proiectată de Gustave Eiffel şi sculptată de Auguste Bartholdi.

Astfel, Franța a decis să ofere o a doua Statuie a Libertății „pentru a aduce un omagiu tuturor celor care, de ambele părți ale Atlanticului, au făcut posibilă construirea Statuii Libertății și care au luptat pentru ceea ce simbolizează ea în întreaga lume”. Această a doua statuie va rămâne în Statele Unite timp de zece ani, perioadă a împrumutului acordat de Conservatorul din Quai d'Orsay, apoi va reveni în Franța. Această a doua Lady Liberty este una dintre replicile pariziene ale faimoasei Statui a Libertății. Prima Statuie a Libertății, de aproape 93 de metri înălțime, a fost concepută de Eugène Viollet-le-Duc, proiectată de Gustave Eiffel și sculptată de Auguste Bartholdi. A fost oferită pentru a sărbători centenarul declarației de independență a Statelor Unite, deși nu a fost inaugurată decât zece ani mai târziu, în 1886.
