The former president took his Avignon presidency to the courtroom in 2023. Will he win back the White House from the hot seat in 2024?

His Nazi-esque remarks about undocumented immigrants hint at just how brutal an authoritarian he will be if elected to the White House again.

The Roberts court is getting back to what it does best: providing a safe haven for political scoundrels.

In a sign that its recent regard for restraint is prevailing, the Roberts court is signaling that it’ll take a narrow approach on mifepristone.

If history and precedent is any guide, the former president should not expect respite from the justices.

Attorney General Ken Paxton personally intervened to endanger Kate Cox’s life and preserve the Lone Star State’s post-Roe dystopia.

His interview with Hannity told us everything we need to know about his second-term plans.

At Tuesday’s oral arguments, the justices seemed bent on a narrow ruling that would preserve the tax code—and not preemptively rule a wealth tax unconstitutional.

It was absolutely the right thing to do in this extreme case.

But the conservative majority seemed less inclined to upend the administrative state.

If a presidential candidate is telling you that he wants to end the republic, believe him.

An appeals panel led by a Trump appointee is giving the Supreme Court the chance to gut one of the few major provisions remaining in the law.

Judge Sarah Wallace found the case that the former president violated the Fourteenth Amendment compelling. Then she found a way to ignore her own judgment.

For years, the GOP has used imaginary threats to election integrity to impede people from lawfully voting. Goodbye to all that.

The tech industry thought that the legal issues over their shiny new toys were a settled matter. They thought wrong.

Originalism is all the rage on the right, but a gun case at the Supreme Court is exposing its absurdity—even to the conservative justices.

The justices heard a case challenging a federal law restricting guns for domestic abusers—and saw an opportunity to clean up the mess their previous gun ruling has caused.

A lower court split over bump stocks—a device that enabled the deadliest mass shooting in American history—is sending fresh cases steaming toward the high court.

After burning through attorneys and leaving many legal careers in shambles, the former president is truly scraping the bottom of the lawyer barrel.

Conservatives are locking in an outrageous partisan gerrymander—and locking out nearly half of the state’s voters.
