Trump Takes Mail-In Voting Dispute to Supreme Court Before Midterms

By Greg Otto | CYBERSCOOP In a Monday filing, the Justice Department said states sued before agencies even decided how the order would work. The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court on Monday to let it enforce an executive order that would restrict mail-in voting, after a federal appeals court kept the order blocked in nearly half the states just months before the November midterm elections. Solicitor General D. John Sauer told the justices that a Massachusetts federal judge acted too soon when she struck down key parts of the order, which blocked federal agencies from carrying it out in 23 states and the District of Columbia. Sauer said the order only directs agencies to study changes and has not yet produced a final rule, so no state has suffered harm. ...

When judges become lawmakers: Brazil’s warning for America’s constitutional balance

By Michael Hancock | Commentary, Undercurrent Substack Brazil Did Not Lose Its Democracy Overnight. It Allowed One Institution to Rise Above the Rest. The greatest threats to constitutional government rarely arrive as revolutions. More often, they arrive as evolutions, unfolding quietly rather than all at once. No tanks roll through the streets. No constitution is suspended. Elections continue. Congress still meets. Presidents still campaign. Courts remain open. Everything appears normal. Until one day it isn’t. What changes is not the existence of democratic institutions but the balance among them. Liberty depends less upon the existence of government than upon the careful distribution of governmental power. The Founders understood this better than mos...

Birthright Citizenship Fight Moves to Capitol Hill After Supreme Court Decision

By: Eric Wessan | The Federalist Sen. Jim Banks has offered a text-and-precedent-bound response to a decision his opponents assumed had ended the debate. When the Supreme Court decided Trump v. Barbara on June 30, 2026, opponents of birthplace-citizenship reform declared the fight over. But that disappointing decision was not the end of attempts to reform the system. It was merely the “end of the beginning.” Sen. Jim Banks read Barbara as a legislative map. His new Citizenship Act follows the road Wong Kim Ark charted. Barbara held that President Trump’s executive order was unconstitutional by locking in birthplace citizenship’s definition from a much older case. That 1898 case, United States v. Wong Kim Ark, laid out three categories of people whose children are not...

The group that dictates the tenor of the Democrat Party has radical plans for America, which include getting rid of the presidency and the Supreme Court. The Democratic Socialists of America is a far-left organization that appeals to the struggle of the working class while pushing far-left candidates.

Supreme Court Clears Path for Trump to End Temporary Protected Status Protections

By: Ava-joye Burnett | Denver7 The high court determined the Trump administration is able to cancel a program that formally provided refuge for people who are fleeing violence or natural disasters in their home countries. Less than a week after a decision from the U.S. Supreme Court, the Trump administration is taking the steps to cancel TPS, or temporary protected status, for thousands of migrants who came to the U.S. from at least seven countries. The countries include Ethiopia, Burma, South Sudan, Yemen, Somalia, Syria and Haiti. The high court determined that the Trump administration is able to cancel the program, which formally provided refuge for people who are fleeing violence or natural disasters in their home countries.

Davis Blasts Supreme Court Birthright Ruling Calling it a Betrayal of the Constitution

By Mike Davis | Commentary, Fox News Roberts and Barrett joined three liberal justices to block Trump's executive order under the 14th Amendment. The Supreme Court just delivered its most disastrous ruling in generations in Trump v. Barbara. Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Amy Coney Barrett joined the three liberal justices to block President Donald Trump's executive order and hand over birthright citizenship to the children of tens of millions of illegal aliens and birth tourists from China and other enemy nations. The majority ruled that the 14th Amendment, which was passed after the Civil War to give former slaves equal rights, mandates citizenship to nearly anyone born on U.S. soil, even if they entered illegally, even if they’re a foreigner who hates...

Supreme Court Has Spoken But Constitutional Debate is Far From Over on Birthright Citizenship

By: John C. Eastman | Commentary. The Federalist Lincoln believed self-government requires citizens and their representatives to continue reasoning together about the meaning of the Constitution, even after courts have spoken. The Supreme Court has spoken. Now what? That question has confronted the nation before. In 1857, the Supreme Court believed it had settled one of the most consequential constitutional controversies in American history. In Dred Scott v. Sandford, Chief Justice Roger Taney declared that persons of African descent could never become citizens of the United States and that Congress lacked authority to prohibit slavery in the territories. Many believed the court had spoken the final constitutional word. Abraham Lincoln disagreed. His admi...

High Court Removes Limits on Party Coordination With Federal Candidates

By Shannon Ogden | Denver7 The ruling allows national parties to make direct contributions to candidate campaigns and is expected to give Republicans a short-term financial advantage. The Supreme Court struck down limits on how much political parties can spend in coordination with candidates for Congress and president. The limits had been in place to prevent large donors from circumventing caps on contributions to a candidate by directing money to a party with the understanding the money would be spent for that candidate. The ruling means national parties will now be able to make direct contributions to candidate campaigns. The decision is also expected to give Republicans a short-term boost because they have a large cash advantage over Democrats. READ ...

Supreme Court Upholds Counting of Mail Ballots Received After Election Day

By: The Washington Stand | The Western Journal A closely-divided U.S. Supreme Court has handed down a critical decision on election integrity, jeopardizing the security of American elections and the sovereignty of the nation. In an opinion released Monday morning in Watson v. Republican National Committee (RNC), the court’s narrow majority ruled that mail-in ballots postmarked by election day may still be counted even if received after election day. “Three federal statutes set the day for the election of Representatives, Senators, and the President,” Justice Amy Coney Barrett wrote for the majority. At issue is a Mississippi state law allowing ballots received by mail and postmarked by election day to be counted for up to five days after election day. The RNC argued...

High Court Blocks Trump Plan To Restrict Birthright Citizenship

By: Jacob Wheeler | The Daily Wire "The Framers of the Fourteenth Amendment extended that promise to 'every free-born person in this land,'" Roberts wrote. The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday permanently blocked President Donald Trump’s executive order seeking to restrict birthright citizenship, dealing a significant blow to his immigration agenda and preventing a sweeping overhaul of who qualifies for U.S. citizenship. In a landmark ruling authored by Chief Justice John Roberts, the Supreme Court held that children born in the United States to parents unlawfully or temporarily present are “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States and are citizens at birth under the Fourteenth Amendment’s Citizenship Clause. “Citizenship, then and now, was the right ...
