Texas Republicans have been pushing an aggressive agenda despite promised court challenges, including legislation that would let police ask drivers whether they're in the U.S. legally, restrict what school bathrooms transgender students can use, ban most second-trimester abortions and let adoption agencies reject gay couples over religious objections. The lawsuits have already begun: El Paso County on Monday asked a federal court to block a "sanctuary cities" crackdown signed by Republican Gov.

On June 12, 2017, it will have been 50 years since the U.S. Supreme Court decided that Americans should in fact be allowed to marry they want.

In the course of my service with the Supreme Court, I witnessed seven retirements and the sorry sight of one impeachment . I was the ninth to leave since 2008 but I only saw the appointment of seven replacements as I was no longer around when President Duterte appointed the replacement of J. Jose Perez.
