Trump Judge Throws a Wrench in Trump’s Campaign Plans

(TargetDailyNews.com) – Donald Trump will be unable to attend his son’s graduation or oral arguments before the Supreme Court regarding his presidential immunity claims if the judge in Alvin Bragg’s New York case has his way. Accused Democrat ally Judge Juan Merchan wouldn’t say if he would allow Trump to go to his son Barron’s graduation ceremony in May.
He suggested Trump would also be barred from attending oral arguments in D.C. on April 25th where the SCOTUS will hear arguments regarding whether or not he was immune from prosecution by Jack Smith and Biden’s DOJ over alleged January 6th crimes due to being president at the time.
Trump’s team inquired three times of Merchan if he would allow Trump to leave the court. Merchan said no or gave an indefinite answer each time, suggesting he wanted to limit Trump’s ability to campaign for the duration of the trial. Trump has largely decried the proceedings as “a sham trial” after outlining the multiple law enforcement bodies that declined to prosecute him based on the same allegations. Those include the Federal Elections Commission (FEC) and both Biden and Obama’s DOJ.
Bragg had to stretch the allegations into felonies to avoid the statute of limitations in the case. By doing so, he claimed the alleged payments to Stormy Daniels for a non-disclosure agreement violated campaign finance laws. The FEC declined to prosecute.
Famed attorney Alan Dershowitz suggested that compelling Trump to be present at his trial is based on an unconstitutional New York law that gives the prosecution unilateral authority to decide if the defendant must be present at all times or not.

Politicians from both sides of the aisle have finally found legislation they could agree on but is it really a good thing if they are unified in taking away or limiting Americans access to information. On this edition of 360 View, Scottie Nell Hughes and a panel of experts (Angela McCardle, Chair, Libertarian National Committee; Larry Ward, President Political Media Inc; James Rehwald, Political Commentator, Comedian) are going to look at the house vote to ban TikTok and if it is really a Trojan horse being used by Congress to destroy the Right to Free Speech.

Republicans are facing another political headache in the wake of the overturning of Roe v. Wade, this time involving in vitro fertilization procedures, that could spell disaster for the party heading into the 2024 election. The latest hurdle comes out of Alabama after the state Supreme Court ruled frozen embryos are legally children and the destruction of embryos constitutes a crime under the state’s “wrongful death of a minor” law. In response to the significant backlash, lawmakers in both chambers of the Alabama legislature have filed bills to clarify the state law related to embryos created via IVF. In this episode of 360 View, Scottie Nell Hughes debate with her panel (Steve Abramowicz, Host, Mill Creek View; Desi K Robinson, Health Professor, Doula, Media Analyst) about the ruling and the morality of deciding when does life begin?

Many people believe the Supreme Court “ended asset forfeiture” with its 2019 opinion in Timbs v. Indiana. That’s not only false, but by trying to expand federal power to stop asset forfeiture in the states, they might have made things even worse in the long run.

One of George Mason’s leading objections to ratification was the structure of the federal judiciary. Thomas Jefferson signaled that he liked it at first, but in the years to follow, considered it the leading engine of consolidation, and the destruction of the constitution.

USA : WILL THE SUPREME COURT END THE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO ABORTION?

Is America moving toward ending the constitutional right to abortion? Last night, May 2, 2022, online news site Politico revealed that the US Supreme Court was preparing to annul a nearly 50-year-old ruling that recognized the right to abortion, an issue still controversial. in American public opinion.

“Roe was egregiously wrong from the start. Its reasoning was exceptionally weak, and the decision has had damaging consequences. And far from bringing about a national settlement of the abortion issue, Roe and Casey have enflamed debate and deepened division.”

Pro Roe Abortion Rights Shirt - When Injustice Becomes Law Resistance Becomes Duty Shirt and Hoodie

He Who Hath No Uterus Should Shut The Fucketh Up Pro Choice Shirt And Hoodie

A person familiar with the court’s deliberations said that four of the other Republican-appointed justices — Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett — had voted with Alito in the conference held among the justices after hearing oral arguments in December, and that line-up remains unchanged as of this week.

The three Democratic-appointed justices — Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan — are working on one or more dissents, according to the person. How Chief Justice John Roberts will ultimately vote, and whether he will join an already written opinion or draft his own, is unclear.

The document, labeled as a first draft of the majority opinion, includes a notation that it was circulated among the justices on Feb. 10. If the Alito draft is adopted, it would rule in favor of Mississippi in the closely watched case over that state’s attempt to ban most abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy.

Roberts confirmed the authenticity of the draft opinion and said he was ordering an investigation into the disclosure.

“To the extent this betrayal of the confidences of the Court was intended to undermine the integrity of our operations, it will not succeed. The work of the Court will not be affected in any way,” Roberts pledged in a written statement. “This was a singular and egregious breach of that trust that is an affront to the Court and the community of public servants who work here.”

Roberts also stressed that the draft opinion “does not represent a decision by the Court or the final position of any member on the issues in the case.” The court spokesperson had declined comment pre-publication.

10 KEY PASSAGES FROM ALITO’S DRAFT OPINION, WHICH WOULD OVERTURN ROE V. WADE
BY JOSH GERSTEIN
POLITICO received a copy of the draft opinion from a person familiar with the court’s proceedings in the Mississippi case along with other details supporting the authenticity of the document. The draft opinion runs 98 pages, including a 31-page appendix of historical state abortion laws. The document is replete with citations to previous court decisions, books and other authorities, and includes 118 footnotes. The appearances and timing of this draft are consistent with court practice.

The disclosure of Alito’s draft majority opinion — a rare breach of Supreme Court secrecy and tradition around its deliberations — comes as all sides in the abortion debate are girding for the ruling. Speculation about the looming decision has been intense since the December oral arguments indicated a majority was inclined to support the Mississippi law.

Protect Our Reproductive Rights Shirt and Hoodie

Under long-standing court procedures, justices hold preliminary votes on cases shortly after argument and assign a member of the majority to write a draft of the court’s opinion. The draft is often amended in consultation with other justices, and in some cases the justices change their votes altogether, creating the possibility that the current alignment on Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization could change.

The chief justice typically assigns majority opinions when he is in the majority. When he is not, that decision is typically made by the most senior justice in the majority.

The immediate impact of the ruling as drafted in February would be to end a half-century guarantee of federal constitutional protection of abortion rights and allow each state to decide whether to restrict or ban abortion. It’s unclear if there have been subsequent changes to the draft.

No draft decision in the modern history of the court has been disclosed publicly while a case was still pending. The unprecedented revelation is bound to intensify the debate over what was already the most controversial case on the docket this term.

The Supreme Court has voted to strike down the landmark Roe v. Wade decision, according to an initial draft majority opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito circulated inside the court and obtained by POLITICO.

The draft opinion is a full-throated, unflinching repudiation of the 1973 decision which guaranteed federal constitutional protections of abortion rights and a subsequent 1992 decision — Planned Parenthood v. Casey — that largely maintained the right. “Roe was egregiously wrong from the start,” Alito writes.

(CNN)The Supreme Court may be poised to end the right to an abortion that American women have had for nearly 50 years.

A draft opinion -- published on Monday by Politico in an unprecedented breach of secrecy at the normally secretive high court -- suggests Republican-appointed justices could use their new power to deliver what conservative legal activists have spent decades trying to accomplish: a full and complete reversal of Roe v. Wade.

THE OPINION IS NOT FINAL
These things can and do change, such as Chief Justice John Roberts' last-minute decision in 2012 to save the Affordable Care Act.

CNN's Joan Biskupic has written about how the Roe decision was crafted, with changes in the weeks before it was handed down in 1973.

ARGUING IN REAL TIME
Details of those dramas seeped out years or decades later.





Biskupic has reported Roberts is willing to uphold Mississippi's law that would ban abortion at 15 weeks of pregnancy, which is in line with some European countries, as a middle ground.

close dialog

But the other Republican-appointed justices, led by Samuel Alito, want to completely change the meaning of precedent and hand control of the abortion issue back to states.

"It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people's elected representatives," Alito writes in the draft opinion.

The question now is whether another conservative on the court -- Justices Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh or Amy Coney Barrett -- might disagree.

WHAT WAS THE RELEASE OF THE DRAFT MEANT TO ACCOMPLISH?
The publishing of the draft opinion by Politico puts the Supreme Court's inner workings in public. Roberts ordered an investigation by the Marshal of the Court, but secrecy of decisions is custom rather than law, so it's not clear what penalty the source of the leak could face.

"Is the leak designed to get (Kavanaugh) to change his mind or designed to make sure he does not change his mind?" wondered John King on CNN on Tuesday. "That's one of the mysteries as we watch this play out." Some experts have wondered if Kavanaugh might be the most likely to switch sides.

King's question is valid, and it will be all the more intriguing if this draft opinion does not come to be. The court's formal ruling is not expected to be published until late June.

The unexpected release of the draft opinion, however, is a subplot to the larger issue of a court willing to remake the social landscape of the country.

THESE JUSTICES USED TO VIEW ROE V. WADE AS PRECEDENT
I looked at what justices like Alito, Kavanaugh and Gorsuch said when they were trying to get confirmed -- that Roe was accepted precedent. Thomas said he hadn't given it much thought. Those days seem far away now. Read more here.

In the draft opinion, Alito unleashes on the Roe decision as "egregiously wrong."

SOME REPUBLICANS MUST FEEL BETRAYED
Many Republicans who have worked for this moment are elated.

But Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, who previously expressed her confidence that the GOP-appointed judges she supported would not overturn Roe, issued a statement of shock at the draft opinion, suggesting she had been misled. Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska said the draft "rocks my confidence in the court."

Perhaps Collins should have simply paid a bit more attention. What justices like Alito and Kavanaugh said about precedent in their confirmation hearings seemed to contradict their earlier views as government lawyers. Now those earlier views, that Roe was wrongly decided, may inform the law of the land.

ABORTION RIGHTS SUPPORTERS WOULD HAVE LITTLE RECOURSE
The minority of Democrat-appointed justices on the Supreme Court has little power in a court newly emboldened.

Meanwhile, the Republican minority in the Senate can squash any attempt to codify Roe into law.

The effort to overturn Roe v. Wade took nearly 50 years of hard work. The effort to remake courts or codify abortion into law could take a very long time too.

NOT ALL DEMOCRATS SUPPORT ABORTION RIGHTS
Sen. Joe Manchin, the West Virginia Democrat, opposes abortion rights and will not change Senate rules to codify Roe into law. That means there aren't enough votes to change the rules, given that it's a 50-50 Senate and Democrats need every vote.

GENERAL SUPPORT FOR ROE AND ABORTION RIGHTS
Americans, broadly, are supportive of Roe and abortion rights, although the details can vary with how pollsters ask the question.

According to a CNN poll conducted in January, more than two-thirds, 69% of Americans, do not support overturning Roe v. Wade.

The poll also asked how people would feel if the law was overturned, and the results suggest a large number of Americans would be frustrated:

14% - Happy.
12% - Satisfied.
25% - Dissatisfied.
35% - Angry.
14% - Wouldn't care.
AMERICANS DO NOT SPEAK WITH ONE VOICE ON ABORTION
It's true that a majority of Americans support protecting abortion rights, but it's also likely those views vary by state.

In this way, Alito's draft opinion to give power back to state legislators might find more supporters in certain portions of the country.

Views on whether abortion should be legal have been relatively static for years. In a PRRI survey in 2018, about two-thirds of people in Massachusetts said abortion should be legal in all or most cases. And Massachusetts will protect abortion rights in that state.

Much smaller minorities, 34% in Louisiana and 39% in Arkansas, said abortion should be legal in all or most cases. Abortion would face likely bans in those states.

In many parts of the country, support is about evenly split, including in the political battlegrounds of Texas and Georgia. Both states are among those that have passed extreme limits on abortion, which have already created a patchwork of access to abortion services.

HOW MANY ABORTIONS ARE PERFORMED EACH YEAR?
The draft opinion, if it becomes law, would have a profound and immediate impact on women in the half of the country that may not have access to abortion services later this year.

There were 629,898 legal abortions in the US in 2019, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The vast majority -- 92.7% -- took place before 13 weeks of gestation. Far fewer, 6.2%, took place between 14 and 20 weeks of gestation, and less than 1% took place at more than 21 weeks. A large portion of US abortions, 42.3%, are induced very early in pregnancy by medication.

ABORTION-ACCESS STATES VS. ABORTION-BAN STATES
If Roe is overturned, more than half of states, 26, could feature abortion bans, according to the Guttmacher Institute, which supports abortion rights.

Nine states have pre-Roe bans that could potentially be enforced and 13 have passed "trigger bans" that would go into effect if Roe is overturned. See the maps.

A LARGER THREAT TO PRIVACY
President Joe Biden is not extremely comfortable talking about abortion. He supports protecting a woman's right to choose an abortion as a policy matter but is a Catholic who opposes abortion personally.

Until Tuesday, according to CNN's White House team, he had not used the word "abortion" as President. Talking to reporters about the draft opinion, he immediately broadened out the scope of the decision to argue Alito's thinking could jeopardize other decisions, including the right to same-sex marriage.

"Even more equally as profound is the rationale used. And it would mean that every other decision relating to the notion of privacy is thrown into question," Biden told reporters.

A NEW POLITICAL REALITY
The draft opinion, if it becomes law, remakes the political conversation heading into the 2022 midterms, according to CNN's Chris Cillizza.

Democrats will seize again on women's rights as a political issue, even as they have little they can tangibly deliver to protect the right to an abortion at the state level.

Republicans for now are trying to keep focus on the economy and not abortion, as they look to appeal to educated voters in the suburbs who are more likely to support abortion rights.

WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?
Women would undeniably have fewer rights. CNN legal analyst Carrie Cordero said on "Inside Politics" that the draft opinion would make women less free.

"If we can back up the lens, it means women in the 21st century are going to be less constitutionally protected than in the 20th," she said.

Stop saying courts aren't political. Another CNN analyst, Elliot Williams, said the draft opinion would disprove the increasingly naive idea that the nation's courts are not driven by political belief.

"We've got to get off this idea that the Supreme Court is this apolitical body that exists outside of politics, when less than two years after a major personnel shift at the court, a major precedent is falling," Williams said. "This idea that the court sort of exists outside and above it all -- it's just not reality."
