Cops have been given an incredible set of legal powers immunizing them from the fatal errors of their own decisions—including their decision to do nothing in Uvalde, Texas.

If it passes, the Golden State would set up a confrontation with the Supreme Court, which blessed the Lone Star State’s anti-abortion law.

After a long period of inaction on the Second Amendment, the Supreme Court is back to doing what it does best: making our world a more dangerous place.

The court’s conservatives have pared back the Sixth Amendment’s protections so that it won’t impede the state’s ability to erroneously execute the innocent.

With the Supreme Court poised to overturn Roe, and conservatives plotting a sexual counterrevolution, there’s no telling what rights might get abolished next.

The conservative legal icon has a lot of disagreements with the Supreme Court’s decisions and is showing no hesitation in pushing to erase long-standing precedents.

Campaign graft continues its long-running undefeated streak at the Supreme Court.

Believe it or not, we all owe the former president’s personal coup lawyer a huge debt of gratitude.

In his latest bid for attention, the Missouri senator has written a stunt bill attacking the House of Mouse’s valuable copyrights.

A tour through the justice’s draft decision overturning Roe suggests he either doesn’t know—or doesn’t care—about centuries of progress.

Conservative lawmakers across the country have enacted “trigger laws” that will radically alter the legal landscape overnight if the Supreme Court overturns reproductive rights.

There’s nothing the president can do to stop the Supreme Court from ending the right to abortion. But some legal experts and pro-choice activists have proposed creative ways to limit the damage.

Tuesday’s leaked draft decision is a fearsome template for overturning a slew of rulings that have shaped American life for decades.

The high court’s ruling in a 2020 case upended Oklahoma’s relationship with Indian country. Now the justices are considering an even bigger step.

The justice’s recent opinion takes a strong stance against the shameful way the United States has ruled over the territory.

The right wing is intent on restricting the vote. How far will it go to hold onto power?

Confirmed as the first Black woman on the Supreme Court, she now faces the paradox of being one of the most powerful people in the country but having little influence in her day-to-day job.

Blue states like New York and California want to restore the unlimited state and local tax, or SALT, deduction. Biden’s DOJ is trying to preserve the $10,000 limit—even though Trump enacted it to punish Democrats.

The Founders saw no need for lawmakers to grill high court nominees. Time has only proven them correct.

The Supreme Court will consider that question—and wade into the waters of fair use doctrine—this fall.
