Ruth Bader Ginsburg attempted to quell the nation’s collective anxiety on Sunday when she announced that she has “at least five more years” on the Supreme Court.

Much has been written about Brett Kavanaugh’s legal decisions and policy statements, which will no doubt be put under a microscope during his still-unscheduled confirmation hearing. I’d like to talk about a less well-known side of the Supreme Court nominee: the man who held open a door for me while I was carrying four…

Good morning from the New York Times.

Brett Kavanaugh, a 53-year-old man whose family health history I’m in the process of researching, is President Trump’s pick to fill useless sellout Anthony Kennedy’s SCOTUS seat.

In what should surprise no one, Trump is reportedly picking his next Supreme Court Justice candidate not based on qualifications, opinions, or a candidate’s body of work. Rather, he’s looking at, according to Politico, “a potential nominee’s appearance as well as the look and feel of his or her family.”

Senator Susan Collins is receiving a loud and clear message about the potential Supreme Court nominees she should and should not support, with pro-choice advocates having taken to sending coat hangers to her office as a statement about the risks of overturning Roe v. Wade.

What an emotional rollercoaster the past 24 hours has been.

When Belal Rajab, a refugee fleeing the Syrian civil war, resettled in Stone Mountain, Georgia, he thought his family would join him days later. But in the months after Donald Trump announced a travel ban on immigrants from several Muslim-majority countries, including Syrian refugees, Rajab began to lose hope. “It’s…

On Monday, the Supreme Court largely sided with Texas and North Carolina in cases challenging the fairness of their legislative maps. Per CNN, this means that officials will probably use those congressional district maps in the upcoming midterm elections, which is good news for racists and Donald Trump, and bad news…

On Monday, the Supreme Court sided with a Colorado baker who had refused to create a cake for a gay couple. In Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission, a case that saw LGTBQ rights chafe against claims of religious freedom, the court ruled that the state of Colorado violated the baker’s rights under…

Arkansas may soon have just one remaining abortion clinic after the Supreme Court declined on Tuesday to hear a case challenging the state’s restrictions on medication abortion.

The Supreme Court has overturned two lower federal court decisions and ruled that immigrants, including asylum seekers and those with permanent documented status, are not entitled to periodic bond hearings while under detention. This effectively means they can be detained indefinitely if the government is considering…

Wheeeeeeeoooomp.

One year ago, the Supreme Court ruled 5-3 in favor of women’s bodies in the historic case Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt.

One of the most depressing things about the last year, for women, has been to realize that no matter how far a woman climbs in her career, she will never command the same amount of respect as a man. We saw it when Hillary Clinton lost to an old guy who doesn’t have a brain, again when Elizabeth Warren was silenced by…

It’s a fresh week in the darkest timeline we’re all inhabiting together, and Donald Trump remains both deeply confused and a direct menace to women. In a 60 Minutes interview, he suggested that maybe his Supreme Court nominee will overturn Roe v. Wade: “They’ll have to go to another state.”

Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore is facing an ethics hearing Monday after instructing the state’s judges last fall not to grant marriage licenses to same-sex couples. Moore issued those directions more than six months after the Supreme Court struck down bans on same-sex marriage, but says he wasn’t trying to tell…

Ruth Bader Ginsburg has issued an apology for her recent remarks about malformed traffic cone Donald Trump. Last week, everyone’s favorite Supreme Court Justice broke the court’s long-standing custom of refraining from clear political speech to indicate her displeasure at the possibility of a Trump administration.

Listen, I have held my tongue when that decaying, hollowed-out tree trunk that is now housing a family of malnourished, furious possums Donald Trump has dragged other respectable Americans through the mud (actually, no I haven’t really), but he has gone too far. Too fucking far.

Days after the historic Supreme Court ruling that struck down Texas’s unconstitutional abortion laws, federal judges halt the implementation of similarly obstructive laws in Florida.
