2 days ago | libertynation.com | Scott D. Cosenza

Loading the Elevenlabs Text to Speech AudioNative Player... The Supreme Court hears arguments today (April 22) on whether parents may opt out of public-school messaging designed to advance radical progressive trans ideology. The case is Mahmoud v. Taylor and gives further lie to the notion that there is no more progressive effort, and a strident one at that, to denigrate, oppress, and otherwise ruin traditional Judeo-Christian and Muslim religious teachings, culture, and values.

1 month ago | libertynation.com | Scott D. Cosenza

The Supreme Court heard arguments in Smith & Wesson v. Mexico on Tuesday, March 4. The case aligns Mexico with US-based anti-gunners to enrich our southern neighbors and bankrupt the American firearms manufacturing industry. While court watchers expected to see pushback from conservatarian justices like Thomas and Gorsuch on such claims, other members of the court also seemed to disfavor the arguments, including Biden appointee Ketanji Brown Jackson.

On Wednesday, February 26, the US Supreme Court heard oral arguments regarding an allegation of anti-straight bias. The case is Ames v. Ohio Department of Youth Services.

Kash Patel, like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard, threatens not just to disrupt the status quo but to fundamentally change the agency he now leads and, perhaps, the country. Kashyap Pramod Vinod Patel was confirmed as the FBI director on Thursday, February 10, by a 51-49 vote in the US Senate. President Trump signed the commission shortly afterward, making him the ninth director of the agency.

Dec 10, 2024 | libertynation.com | Scott D. Cosenza

Aloha means hello and goodbye, and the US Supreme Court said both — adding see you later — to a gun control case out of Hawaii on Dec. 9. Three conservative justices laid out why Hawaii’s gun carry law is unconstitutional and did so while denying an appeal from someone charged with violating the very law they criticized.
Supreme Court Tackles 'Trans Care' for Kids

Dec 5, 2024 | libertynation.com | Scott D. Cosenza

Everyone argued the Supreme Court needed to “save the children” on Tuesday over a ban on trans-affirming care for children. Saving, however, is in the eye of the beholder. In U.S. v. Skrmetti, the Biden administration joined some Tennessee residents in challenging the ban. Tennessee’s law prohibits doctors in the state from giving medical treatment to minors intended to facilitate gender transition.

Nov 11, 2024 | libertynation.com | Scott D. Cosenza

Democrat Senators and power players angling to replace Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor before Biden’s term expired were brushed back on Sunday. While the Democrats still control the presidency and the US Senate, some, like Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), have pressured Sotomayor to retire so Joe Biden could name a younger justice to her seat. The justice, an Obama appointee, is 70 and suffers from type 1 diabetes. She won’t go along with the plan, however.
