    What the Supreme Court’s cryptic mail ballot ruling means for future elections | CNN Politics (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The Supreme Court’s recent patchwork of election-related decisions gives the public scant clues of how the justices would act if faced with a crucial dispute this fall that would definitively settle which party controls Congress or what to expect in 2028. The justices’ unsigned order Monday rejecting President Donald Trump’s plan to let the US Postal Service possibly refuse to deliver ballots was cryptic. And an earlier June decision, similarly rejecting an attempt to foist new rules on ma

    Experience as a Supreme Court law clerk has long been a prized credential, now drawing signing bonuses up to $700,000 at law firms. But it has increasingly become a ticket to a judgeship of one’s own, ensuring that long after the current justices are gone, like-minded protégés will be shaping the law in America. The coveted clerkships at the side of the country’s most powerful jurists have become incubators for the right wing. Former clerks are at the vanguard of conservative causes center

In past years, the dinner ritual held in the court’s marble-columned Great Hall occurred without any disclaimer. But this year, the executive director of the Historical Society rose first to explain that the toast was part of a historic tradition, carried out through the decades for all who inhabit the White House. Only then did Roberts

    How the Supreme Court has changed on transgender rights since 2020 | CNN Politics (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    In 2020, when the Supreme Court declared that transgender workers were covered by federal anti-discrimination law, the opinion authored by Justice Neil Gorsuch marked a legal breakthrough. The case extended Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act to gay and lesbian workers as well transgender employees.
