☆ It doesn't matter that there was a fake detail in the case the Supreme Court used to roll back LGBTQ+ rights, experts say
  + stars: | 2023-07-06 | by ( Sonam Sheth | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
The Supreme Court ruled last week that a Colorado wedding website designer has the right to refuse service to same-sex couples. The New Republic reported that a website request cited in the case appears to have been fabricated. But legal experts even if the request was fake, it wouldn't be enough to affect the court's ruling. Phil Weiser, Colorado's attorney general, said in a statement that the high court's ruling "will permit businesses to turn away LGBTQ customers just by claiming that they sell expressive or artistic services." "The opinion represents a radical departure from decades of Court precedent and fails to uphold the principle of 'Equal Justice for All' inscribed on the U.S. Supreme Court building."

The bar exam assesses knowledge and reasoning and includes essays and performance tests meant to simulate legal work, as well as multiple choice questions. Less than four months ago, two of the same researchers concluded that OpenAI's earlier large language model, ChatGPT, fell short of a passing score on the bar exam, highlighting how rapidly the technology is improving. “I heard so many people say, ‘Well, it might get the multiple choice but it will never get the essays,'” Katz said. AI has also performed well on other standardized tests, including the SAT and the GRE, but the bar exam has garnered more attention. Bar exam tutor Sean Silverman attributed the focus on the bar exam to its widely recognized difficulty.
☆ Supreme Court's conservative rulings left mark on election results

WASHINGTON — The conservative-majority Supreme Court left its imprint on the 2022 elections, galvanizing Democrats with decisions on guns and abortion and potentially aiding Republicans with election rulings. For decades, it was the Republican Party that benefited from conservative anger over the Supreme Court's original ruling in Roe v. Wade. Using the new map, Republicans won five of the six districts Tuesday. Under the newly drawn map, Republicans won 20 of 28 seats. The Supreme Court's 2019 ruling said partisan gerrymandering claims could not be adjudicated by federal courts.
☆ Justices join debate on Supreme Court's legitimacy after abortion ruling

Chief Justice John Roberts, one of the court’s six conservatives, pushed back against some of the criticism in a recent public appearance, saying people should not question the court’s legitimacy just because they disagree with its rulings. It is important that the public think the justices are reaching decisions in good faith based on the law, Girgis said. Sotomayor said at an event in California on Thursday that “there’s going to be some question about the court’s legitimacy” if people think the justices are acting based on politics, according to a Courthouse News Service report. But I don’t understand the connection between opinions people disagree with and the legitimacy of the court,” he said. Conversely, in 1954, Southern states resisted enforcing the landmark Brown v. Board of Education ruling, which ended segregation in public schools.
☆ How Trump's Senate trial could end with a vote to ban him from ever holding federal office again and kill any chances of a 2024 run

It's unlikely Republicans would join Democrats to vote to convict Trump who's mulled a 2024 run. But the Constitution allows the Senate to bar an official that lawmakers have convicted in an impeachment trial from holding federal office again. It's also not certain if enough Republicans will vote to convict Trump and trigger the vote to ban him from holding public office again. It's not impossible, but the odds of 67 senators voting to convict Trump are long. Jolly at the time said the House need not worry about what the Senate would do with the impeachment vote.
