Supreme Court Hands Trump Win in Fight Against Rogue Administrative State

1 week ago | dailysignal.com | Seth Lucas |John G. Malcolm

As Americans began to prepare for Memorial Day weekend, the Supreme Court quietly handed President Donald Trump a significant victory in the fight to rein in the rogue D.C. bureaucracy. In a short, two-page order, the Court stayed a district court order that directed Trump to reinstate two federal officials whom he had fired. Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett voted for the stay.

2 months ago | dailysignal.com | Hans von Spakovsky |Seth Lucas

Despite a smattering of preliminary injunctions and administrative stay orders from rogue federal judges, President Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency is well on its way to accomplishing its worthy goals. And despite what some out-of-control judges are saying, it is acting well within the boundaries of the law. Already, DOGE has exposed wasteful, potentially fraudulent, and truly bizarre spending of taxpayer funds to the tune of $105 billion.

Oct 2, 2024 | dailysignal.com | Sarah Perry |Seth Lucas

Peter Vlaming, a longtime high school French teacher in Virginia, was fired in 2018 for refusing to use a student’s preferred pronouns. On Monday, after years of litigation and a win for Vlaming at the Virginia Supreme Court, the school board finally capitulated and agreed to settle the case for $575,000. But the West Point School Board’s refusal for five years to protect Vlaming’s free speech and religious freedom rights came with an exorbitant price tag.

Jul 2, 2024 | dailysignal.com | Seth Lucas |Jack Fitzhenry

Certain that bureaucrats know best, the modern administrative state has long labored to snuff out challenges to its actions. So, when Corner Post—a convenience store and truck stop in North Dakota—challenged a federal rule governing fees for debit-card transactions shortly after it opened for business, but years after the regulation had taken effect, the government argued that Corner Post had somehow shown up in court too late. Thankfully, the Supreme Court on Monday in Corner Post Inc. v.
Supreme Court Rules for Jan. 6 Defendant, Implications for Trump Case

Jun 28, 2024 | dailysignal.com | John G. Malcolm |Seth Lucas

The Supreme Court decided a case Friday that will affect the prosecutions of around 350 individuals charged in connection with the events at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. And the decision could also well affect two of the four charges brought by Special Counsel Jack Smith that are pending against former President Donald Trump in federal court in Washington, D.C. The case arose from the prosecution of Joseph Fischer, who attended the “Stop the Steal” rally on the Ellipse on Jan.
Supreme Court Narrowly Upholds Tax On Unrealized Gains from Overseas Company Profits

Jun 20, 2024 | dailysignal.com | Cully Stimson |Seth Lucas

The Supreme Court issued a much-awaited ruling in a tax case, holding that the Mandatory Repatriation Tax passed as part of the 2017 Trump tax cuts did not exceed Congress’ constitutional authority. The court’s holding was narrow, and significant in large part for issues it did not address, leaving open questions related to the constitutionality of alternative taxing schemes—such as a so-called wealth tax—for another day. The 7-2 opinion in Moore v.

Oral arguments are over at the Supreme Court for this term. Although the rallies and protesters have dispersed (for now, anyway), the justices remain frantically at work on the numerous opinions they have yet to hand down. With several closely watched cases still pending, it will likely be a historic finish to this Supreme Court term. The court heard 61 arguments in 69 cases this term (some of the cases were consolidated for oral argument), 20 of which the court has already decided.

Apr 16, 2024 | dailysignal.com | Seth Lucas

The Supreme Court on Tuesday heard arguments in a challenge to the criminal prosecution of a Pennsylvania man, Joseph Fischer, for entering the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Lurking in the background is the fact that the outcome of this case could affect the pending federal indictment against former President Donald Trump in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Although the case that the court heard Tuesday is about what happened on Jan. 6, the court isn’t going to decide whether Jan.

In a gratifying win for religious freedom and free speech, the Virginia Supreme Court concluded Thursday that embattled Virginia high school teacher Peter Vlaming, who had been fired over his refusal to use a student’s preferred pronouns because of his religious faith, was protected by the free exercise and free speech clauses of the Virginia Constitution.
