The Supreme Court has dealt a major blow to Native American voters. On Tuesday, the court upheld a lower court’s ruling that will allow North Dakota to enforce voter ID laws, ruling against the Native American groups who argued that the requirement will suppress votes of tribal residents whose government-issued…
Last week, two women sat across from one another and talked about sexual assault. Neither one of them should have been there. The first woman, Christine Blasey Ford, shouldn’t have been in that seat—forced to talk about the worst night of her life—the night when, at 15, she says she was assaulted by Brett Kavanaugh.…
This is her strongest memory, Christine Blasey Ford testified: “Indelible in the hippocampus is the laughter. The uproarious laughter between the two, and their having fun at my expense.”
During the first part of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford’s gutting testimony, she was asked about the circumstances surrounding the polygraph test she took prior to testifying. Her response was tearful but restrained; she choked her emotions back in an attempt to make the proceedings easier for everyone around her. “I…
Brett Kavanaugh needed to project a certain type of masculinity on Thursday, so he talked about sports. He was captain of his high school varsity basketball team. He played football too, offense and defense. He lifted weights. He ran track. He supported other women playing sports. He’s coached his daughter’s youth…
It feels like a lifetime has passed since Christine Blasey Ford went public with the allegation that Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, sexually assaulted her at a house party in the early 1980s.
Democratic Senator Mazie Hirono from Hawaii spoke for all of us in a recent interview with ABC News. She succinctly and accurately described her Republican colleagues’ claims they are taking Christine Blasey Ford’s sexual assault allegations against Brett Kavanaugh seriously as “bullshit.”
Please learn from my mistakes and stay off Twitter today and all days, my friends.
“I am willing to talk to the Senate Judiciary Committee in any way the Committee deems appropriate to refute this false allegation, from 36 years ago, and defend my integrity,” Supreme Court justice nominee Brett Kavanaugh said on Monday in what has now been his second statement denying sexual assault allegations made…
Gotta barf? Here’s a bag. Barf Bag: It’s a bag for your barf!
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…
