☆ Real talk? Here's the probability a Supreme Court justice dies in the next presidential term

The Supreme Court has a major impact on everyday Americans' lives. The thing is, the ramifications of what a Supreme Court can do are vastly more important than the feelings of a couple of justices. There is a 6-3 split on the court, with the justices appointed by GOP presidents enjoying a rather substantial lead. Democrats probably need to think about what an acceptable level of risk is for losing control of the Supreme Court for generations. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg decided against retiring during President Obama's term despite a desire from the president to ensure her replacement reflected her liberal values.

☆ Mark Meadows asks judge to dismiss charges in Georgia RICO case, saying he was just doing his job as Trump's chief of staff

Lawyers for Mark Meadows asked a judge to dismiss the criminal charges against him. He faces RICO charges in Georgia for his efforts in Trump's scheme to overturn election results. His lawyers say he was just doing his job as Trump's chief of staff. Even if state officials like Willis deem his activities as breaking state law, they're consistent with federal law and therefore protected, according to his lawyers. "Even if they had, moreover, a federal official does not lose Supremacy Clause immunity based on a violation of federal law where the violation was not clear and willful."

☆ A student-loan company that services millions of borrowers played a big role in defeating Biden's debt cancellation plan
  + stars: | 2023-06-30 | by ( Ayelet Sheffey | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
The Supreme Court struck down Biden's student-loan forgiveness plan by a 6-3 vote. The majority said the six GOP-led states had standing to involve student-loan company MOHELA in its lawsuit against the plan. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in the majority opinion that "the plan's harm to MOHELA is also a harm to Missouri." At the time, she asked the lawyer representing the states: "Why didn't the state just make MOHELA come then?" The majority didn't see it that way — and Biden's broad student-debt relief plan is effectively blocked.

☆ Amy Coney Barrett joins liberal Supreme Court justices in scrutinizing a student-loan company's involvement in one of the lawsuits blocking Biden's debt relief
  + stars: | 2023-02-28 | by ( Ayelet Sheffey | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
Amy Coney Barrett joined liberal Supreme Court justices in questioning GOP-led states' standing to block student-debt relief. The states said the relief would harm student-loan company MOHELA, based in Missouri where the case was filed. As expected, MOHELA's role in the lawsuit fell under scrutiny by liberal justices like Ketanji Brown Jackson and Elana Kagan. Barrett joined in that line of questioning, asking Nebraska's Solicitor General James Campbell: "Do you want to address why MOHELA's not here?" Conservative justices took a hard line of questioning with Biden's lawyer, asking about fairness of the relief and whether it was executive overreach.
☆ Justice Alito weirdly jokes that 'You do see a lot of Black children in Ku Klux Klan outfits all the time' while debating a free speech case and talking about Santa photos
  + stars: | 2022-12-05 | by ( Rebecca Cohen | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +2 min
Justice Samuel Alito made a weird joke during oral arguments in a free speech case Monday. "You do see a lot of Black children in Ku Klux Klan outfits, right? Jackson's scenario was about a photography business not wanting to take photos of a mall Santa Claus with children who are not white. "No, because Ku Klux Klan outfits are not protected characteristics under public accommodation laws," Colorado Solicitor General Eric Olsen responded. "You do see a lot of Black children in Ku Klux Klan outfits, right?"
