☆ How using the 14th Amendment against Trump went from a ‘pipe-dream fantasy’ to the Supreme Court
▼ + stars: | 2024-02-06 | by ( Marshall Cohen | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +19 min

‘A sheer coincidence’The journey to the Supreme Court unknowingly began even before the insurrection itself. (In the Cawthorn case, the group partnered with a retired GOP state Supreme Court justice.) CREW appealed to the Colorado Supreme Court, whose members were all appointed by Democratic governors, though they originate from a pool of candidates recommended by a bipartisan panel. Trump appealed the Colorado ruling to the US Supreme Court in early January and oral arguments are set for Thursday. “It’s embarrassing, and it shows the imbalance on our state Supreme Court,” Buck told CNN.

CNN —A newly discovered comet will be visible at times as it flies by Earth next week. Japanese space photographer Hideo Nishimura first observed Comet Nishimura in early August as he was taking images of the night sky, according to EarthSky. Comet Nishimura can bee seen as a faint green dot in the sky over L'Aquila, Italy, on September 7. “Unless it becomes quite a bit brighter than expected, it will likely not be visible.”What’s next for Comet NishimuraGiven how closely Comet Nishimura will pass by the sun, it’s possible the intense heat might destroy it. If you miss the chance to see Comet Nishimura, there are several comets expected to appear in the night sky in the next 16 months, Hale said.

The Democratic-led Judiciary Committee held a hearing on the subject in May. Crow, a major Republican donor, last month, rejected the panel's request for a meeting. Separately, Bopp declined to provide another Democratic-led Senate panel, the Finance Committee, any personal financial information about Crow, it said. In a statement, the panel accused Crow of "stonewalling" and "doubling down on bogus legal theories." The news outlet ProPublica has detailed the ties between Thomas and Crow.

But abortion-rights advocates say legal exceptions do nothing but make abortion bans appear more reasonable than they really are. One shows states with abortion bans with exceptions for rape or incest and the other shows states without those exceptions. One shows states with abortion bans with exceptions for fatal birth defects and the other shows states without those exceptions. One shows states with abortion bans with exceptions for patients with severe health risks and the other shows states without those exceptions. One shows states with abortion bans with exceptions for the life of the patient and the other shows states without those exceptions.

☆ Doi astronomii spun că au găsit cea mai mare cometă observată vreodată

Doi astronomi cred că au descoperit cea mai mare cometă observată vreodată de oameni, o cometă a cărui nucleu înghețat are între 100 și 200 km lungime, fiind de câteva ori mai mare decât celebra cometă Hale-Bopp care a fost studiată acum 25 de ani, scrie New York Times, citează hotnews.ro. Dintre toate corpurile cerești, cometele sunt cele mai spectaculoase și majoritatea sunt originare din norul lui Oort, o regiune extrem de îndepărtată. Pentru că au aflat de ea și pentru că știu acum unde să se uite, astronomii o vor putea observa în detaliu în următorii 20 de ani. Cometele sunt corpuri cerești alcătuite din rocă, praf și gheață gazoasă, aflate pe o orbită alungită în jurul Soarelui. Apropiindu-se de Marte, cometele încep să formeze cozi lungi și spectaculoase, uneori de milioane de km.
