SUBSCRIBE Feb. 19, 2019, 4:38 PM GMT  / Updated  Feb. 19, 2019, 4:45 PM GMT By Pete Williams WASHINGTON — Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas criticized a landmark press freedom case on Tuesday, calling for a new look at the rule that public figures cannot successfully sue for libel unless they can demonstrate that a statement was made with actual malice. The court ruled in the 1964 case of New York Times v. Sullivan that a public figure must prove a defamatory statement was made "with knowledge that it was false or with reckless disregard of whether it was false or not." The case was brought by a county official in Alabama who claimed he was defamed by an advertisement in the paper criticizing police response to the civil rights movement. Thomas called the ruling and similar ones in follow-on cases "policy-driven decisions … [Read more...] about Justice Clarence Thomas criticizes landmark Supreme Court press freedom ruling

Rosenstein Argues Case For Trump Administration Before Supreme Court

· April 23, 2018 ·

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein takes on some added responsibility on Monday, on top of overseeing the special counsel investigation into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, by representing the Trump administration before the Supreme Court, The Wall Street Journal has reported. Although it is the solicitor general’s office that oversees the government’s Supreme Court docket, top officials from the Justice Department do occasionally argue cases before the high court. For Rosenstein, this will be his first appearance before the Supreme Court. He said that despite his managerial responsibilities over thousands of Justice Department employees, he considers himself a practicing lawyer first, and last year asked Solicitor General Noel Francisco to give him a criminal case to argue. The case stems from a 2012 drug bust in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The defendant, Adaucto Chavez-Meza, was sentenced in 2013 to 11 years, three months imprisonment, the … [Read more...] about Rosenstein Argues Case For Trump Administration Before Supreme Court

POLITICS 06/27/2018 02:02 pm ET Updated 41 minutes ago The justice's departure will likely tilt the balance of the court further to the right. By Mollie Reilly Supreme Court Associate Justice Anthony Kennedy will step down from the bench on July 31, he announced Wednesday. “It has been the greatest honor and privilege to serve our nation in the federal judiciary for 43 years, 30 of those years on the Supreme Court,” he said in a statement, which noted that he chose to step aside to spend more time with his family. Kennedy, 81, has sat on the high court since 1988. The Ronald Reagan appointee is known for his frequent role as a swing vote on 5-4 decisions. In this Supreme Court term, Kennedy sided with the court’s conservative bloc in every one of the court’s 5-4 decisions. Justice Kennedy did not join the liberal bloc in *any* of the Court's 19 5-4 decisions this term.— Kevin Daley (@KevinDaleyDC) June 27, 2018 With his … [Read more...] about Anthony Kennedy Announces Retirement From The Supreme Court
