Rep. Kevin Cramer, a Republican running for the Senate in North Dakota, said last week he advised President Donald Trump not to be pressured into making his Supreme Court nomination "some sort of affirmative action pick." The comments by Cramer, who is challenging Democratic Sen. Heidi Heitkamp in one of the marquee Senate races of November's midterm elections, came Friday on KTGO-AM's "The Morning Lowdown" with host Dennis Lindahl.
Reality Show "President" has named DC Circuit Court Judge Brett Kavanaugh as his nominee to the Supreme Court to replace Justice Anthony Kennedy. As Vox notes , this nomination is what every College Republican dreams of when they're groomed for higher office or the judiciary.
On paper, Brett Kavanaugh may be the most qualified Supreme Court nominee in decades. A Yale Law School graduate, he has spent 12 years on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, had a Supreme Court clerkship and was a top aide to President George W. Bush.
In this June 26, 2017, file photo, The Supreme Court is seen in Washington. Recent presidents have delighted in dramatically revealing the people they have chosen to sit on the Supreme Court.
U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg expressed hope the traditional "bipartisan spirit" of congressional hearings for judges will once again prevail in Washington, rather than the votes of recent years that have mostly divided along party lines. Speaking at a Jerusalem cinema on Thursday after the screening of "RBG," the breakout hit documentary about her life and career, Ginsburg said she would not address past or present personnel changes on the court, in apparent reference to Justice Anthony Kennedy's upcoming retirement.
Now that Anthony Kennedy has proven to be, shall we say, the shy, retiring type, one wonders what the folks who felt that there was no difference between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton-the folks who stayed home or stood with Jill Stein on November 8, 2016-will say when the Senate confirms a new Supreme Court nominee who makes Antonin Scalia look like Thurgood Marshall in terms of judicial philosophy.
US Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy has announced his retirement, giving US President Donald Trump a golden chance to cement conservative control of the nation's highest court. Kennedy, 81, said in a statement he was stepping down after more than 30 years.
In this March 23, 2015, file photo, Supreme Court Associate Justice Anthony Kennedy testifies before a House Committee on Appropriations Subcommittee on Financial Services hearing on Capitol Hill in Washington. The 81-year-old Kennedy said Tuesday, June 27, 2018, that he is retiring after more than 30 years on the court.
With the Supreme Court wrapping up its 2017 term this week, the possibility that one of the nine justices might announce their retirement has come up again. The voluntary relinquishment of a lifetime appointment to the nation's most powerful court is inherently a very big deal.
Law enforcement officers need to obtain a search warrant in order to obtain data that shows the location of cellphone users, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in a 5-4 decision released Friday. Chief Justice John Roberts authored the majority opinion, citing the Fourth Amendment's protections against unreasonable government searches.
A major U.S. Supreme Court ruling out Thursday could force New Hampshire businesses to collect a sales tax on behalf of other states. The case of South Dakota v.
On June 14, Justice Ginsberg, writing for a unanimous U.S. Supreme Court, reversed a 2016 opinion by the Second Circuit and held that a foreign government's interpretation of its own law is not binding on U.S. courts. The case, In re Vitamin C Antitrust Litigation , dates back to 2005 and 2006, when U.S. vitamin C purchasers brought allegations against Chinese manufacturers claiming that the manufacturers had agreed to fix the price and supply of vitamin C exported to the United States, in violation of Section 1 of the Sherman Act.
The Supreme Court ruled on Monday in favor of a Colorado baker who refused to make a wedding cake for a same-sex couple because it violated his religious beliefs. In the opinion issued by Justice Anthony Kennedy, the court disagreed with a Colorado court's previous ruling that the gay couple, Charlie Craig and Dave Mullins, had been discriminated against based on sexual orientation.

A divided Supreme Court ruled Monday that businesses can prohibit their workers from banding together in disputes over pay and conditions in the workplace, a decision that affects an estimated 25 million non-unionized employees. With the court's five conservative members in the majority, the justices held that individual employees can be forced to use arbitration, not the courts, to air complaints about wages and overtime.
The Supreme Court dealt an initial blow to millions of workers Monday in the first of two major disputes this term pitting corporations against labor unions. In a 5-4 decision controlled by the court's conservative wing , the justices ruled that employers have the right to insist that labor disputes get resolved individually, rather than allowing workers to join together in class action lawsuits.
