4 d. ago A Wisconsin state supreme court race will test whether abortion can still tip an election

Two years after the fall of Roe v Wade, it is no longer clear whether voters will show up for the singular issueThe United States on Tuesday will face its first major election of the Trump 2.0 era: a race for a single state supreme court seat in Wisconsin that could not only rewrite abortion access in the state, but test whether the issue of abortion rights can still drive voters to the polls.On Tuesday, Wisconsin residents will decide whether to elect liberal Susan Crawford or conservative Brad Schimel, two county judges, to the state supreme court, which is poised to weigh in on two major abortion cases. Abortion rights advocates are trying to use the threat to the procedure to convince people to head to the polls, but, more than two years after the US supreme court overturned Roe v Wade, it is no longer clear whether abortion can tip an election. Democratic candidates talked about outrage over Roe constantly during the 2024 election – and fell short, losing both the White House a...

2 w. ago Supreme court chief justice says Trump call for judge’s impeachment ‘not an appropriate response’ – live

John Roberts issues rare public statement after US president escalates rightwing attacks on the judiciary White House’s defense for not recalling deportations ‘one heck of a stretch’, says judgeDonald Trump has called for the impeachment of the judge handling lawsuits over his administration’s deportation of suspected Venezuelan gang members, a significant escalation of rightwing attacks on the judiciary.While allies of the president such as Elon Musk have repeatedly said judges who rule against him should be impeached, this appears to be the first time the president has backed such calls publicly. Trump’s post on Truth Social does not name the judge, but seems to reference James Boasberg, the Washington DC-based justice who was appointed by Barack Obama and attempted to prevent the government from deporting the alleged gang members under the Alien Enemies Act. Here’s what Trump wrote:This Radical Left Lunatic of a Judge, a troublemaker and agitator who was sadly appointed by Barack...

2 w. ago John Roberts made Trump’s authoritarianism possible. He could still save his own legacy | Steven Greenhouse

The supreme court judge has emboldened and enabled Trump, but the president’s second term must surely have him worriedJohn Roberts, chief justice of the US supreme court, should be very worried about how history will regard him. Roberts sees himself as a cautious conservative committed to protecting our institutions, but it increasingly looks as if history will view him very differently – as a deeply flawed chief justice who paved the way for the US to become an authoritarian state.Roberts can’t possibly want to be viewed that way. But it is inarguable that several decisions he played a huge role in – most notably Citizens United and last year’s startling ruling that gave presidents far-reaching immunity from prosecution – helped lay the groundwork for Donald Trump’s increasingly authoritarian presidency. How could Roberts not realize that the immunity decision he authored would embolden Trump to violate law after law and act like an authoritarian? Continue reading...
