To say that the last few weeks have been good for challengers to voting restriction laws across the country would be an understatement. Kennedy points to a cascade of rulings from several states that she says "stood up for the basic principle that all Americans deserve to have their voices heard at the ballot box without manipulation or suppression."
In this Jan. 28, 2016 file photo, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg speaks at Brandeis University in Waltham, Mass. When Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a liberal icon, is severely criticized by ideologically-sympathetic law professors, prominent legal ethicists, and the editorial boards of left-leaning newspapers like the New York Times and the Washington Post, it's reasonable to conclude that she's done something really inappropriate.
"I can't imagine what this place would be - I can't imagine what the country would be - with Donald Trump as our president," Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said in The New York Times this week. Trump responded in his usual unpresidential way, tweeting : "Justice Ginsburg has embarrassed all by making very dumb political statements about me.
The unusual and apparently unprecedented battle of words between a justice of the Supreme Court and a presumptive presidential nominee continued Tuesday. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg made clear that her criticism of Republican Donald Trump was not the result of an unguarded moment.
Doesn't everyone have an outspoken Jewish grandmother? That was my thought on reading the indignant commentary on Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's unflattering assessment of Donald Trump in an interview with the New York Times. To put the point more seriously, there's nothing wrong with a sitting Supreme Court justice expressing her personal political views when they don't implicate any case that's currently before the court.
Stung by the recent Supreme Court decision that overturned Texas abortion clinic restrictions, leaders of the country's largest anti-abortion group are redoubling their efforts for restrictions on abortion that they claim will prevent fetal pain and that they think can fare well in the public eye and, they hope, in the courts. The National Right to Life Committee's leaders said they remained confident in their strategy of undermining Roe v.
Last month the Supreme Court issued a decision that many believe is the turning of the tide in reaffirming the right to seek an abortion. Whole Woman's Health vs. Hellerstedt overturned many of the provisions of Texas' House Bill 2, a law that resulted in closing more than half of the state's clinics.
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg says she doesn't want to think about the possibility of Donald Trump winning the White House, and she predicts the next president - "whoever she will be" - will have a few appointments to make to the Supreme Court.
Liberals talk a great deal about "diversity" these days, so it is ironic that so many have lined up in favor of President Barack Obama's pick for the Supreme Court, Merrick Garland. On important measures, Garland would render the Court less diverse than it is now.
My father was an obstetrician-gynecologist in Texas. Shortly after Roe v. Wade, until he passed away ten years ago, my father performed abortions in San Antonio, Corpus Christi, and Laredo.
Contrary to a recent Kansas Supreme Court opinion, the U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday held that a Minnesota man did not have a right to refuse a breath test for alcohol and his constitutional rights were not infringed upon when he was criminally punished for his refusal. "The Fourth Amendment did not require officers to obtain a warrant prior to demanding the test, and Bernard had no right to refuse it," wrote Justice Samuel Alito.
The Supreme Court ruled Monday that courts need not throw out evidence of a crime even if the arresting police officer used unlawful tactics to obtain it. But the low-profile case more likely will be remembered for a fierce and personal dissent from Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who said the decision would exacerbate illegal stops of minorities.
The Supreme Court ruled Monday that evidence of a crime may be used against a defendant even if the police did something wrong or illegal in obtaining it.

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, at age 83, has a new life accomplishment: namesake of a praying mantis species. Researchers at The Cleveland Museum of Natural History on Wednesday said they were deeming a new species as the llomantis ginsburgae, named after Ginsburg because of her "relentless fight for gender equality" and out of "appreciation" of her jabots, the neck accessories that she frequently dons.
