They say that the Justice Department, in defending the law, and an appeals court, in upholding it, relied upon the so-called “Insular Cases,” a series of long-criticized early 20th century Supreme Court rulings. The Supreme Court’s decision not to hear the case means the lower court ruling remains in place. “The subordinate, inferior non-citizen National status relegates American Samoans to second-class participation in the Republic," the challengers’ lawyers say in court papers. American Samoa is the only territory to which Congress has not extended birthright citizenship. Of the current nine justices, two of them — liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor and conservative Justice Neil Gorsuch — have expressed concern about the Insular Cases remaining on the books.

Elizabeth Holmes' sentencing has been pushed back again and could happen as late as next year. On Monday, a judge ordered a hearing into whether prosecutors engaged in misconduct surrounding a star witness who visited Holmes' house last month and expressed regret over his testimony. That hearing, a victory for Holmes in her quest for a new trial, will now take place on October 17. He set aside October 17, the date previously reserved for Holmes' sentencing, for the hearing but said he doesn't expect it to take a full day. In Holmes' trial, Rosendorff testified he'd tried to postpone the launch of Theranos' machines for patient use because they gave inaccurate results, but Holmes went ahead with it anyway.

Prosecutors highlighted Rosendorff’s testimony during their closing arguments to a jury that convicted Holmes on four felony counts of investor fraud and conspiracy earlier this year after a nearly four-month trial. The same jury acquitted Holmes on charges of fraud and conspiracy against patients who had their blood tested by Theranos. In their filing, Holmes lawyers said they had not been able to ask Rosendorff for further information about his reflections on his trial testimony for ethical reasons. Also on Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Edward Davila formally rejected a request to set aside the jury’s verdicts in Holmes’ trial. Davila’s decision cited Rosendorff’s testimony in support of his ruling.

Dovezile preliminare din Anglia şi Scoţia, unde varianta indiană a devenit dominantă, sugerează că aceasta duce la un risc mai mare de spitalizare. Rata mai mare de transmitere şi eficacitatea mai redusă a vaccinurilor împotriva acestora a făcut înţelegerea lor cu atât mai critică. „Virusul a devenit atât, atât de imprevizibil”, explică acesta. India a raportat până în prezent 18,6 milioane de infecţii cu coronavirusul în 2021, comparativ cu 10,3 milioane anul trecut. De asemenea, tot mai mulţi pacienţi caută suferă de pierderea auzului, inflamaţie în jurul gâtului şi amigdalită severă, afirmă dr.
