#Republican #ViolenceAgainstWomen
A US appeals court on Friday temporarily blocked a federal rule allowing the #AbortionMedication #mifepristone to be dispensed through the #mail, significantly curtailing #access to the drug #nationwide, particularly in states that banned #abortion.
A 3-judge panel of the ultra-#conservative #5thCircuit ruled unanimously that #Louisiana was likely to prevail in its challenge to the 2023 rule adopted by President #Biden's admin.

Fifth Circuit Continues Running The Table, Says Ten Commandments Law In Texas Is Constitutional
-
#Texas can require the #TenCommandments to be displayed in #PublicSchool #classrooms, a #US appeals court ruled Tuesday in a victory for #conservatives who have long sought to incorporate more #religion into schools.
It sets up a potential clash at #SCOTUS over the issue in the future.
The ultra conservative #5thCircuit Court of Appeals claimed in the decision that the #law did not violate either the #EstablishmentClause or the #FreeExerciseClause of the #FirstAmendment. -

5th Circuit Says Due Process Rights For Immigrants No Longer Exist In Its Jurisdiction
-
In his ruling, Judge Garcia wrote that “it is impracticable, if not impossible, to prevent plaintiffs from being subjected to unwelcome religious displays” w/o stopping school districts from enforcing that #law.
The decision comes amid an ongoing battle over whether states can legally compel school districts to display the #TenCommandments. In June, a panel of judges on the US Court of Appeals for the #5thCircuit said a similar law in #Louisiana requiring postings was “plainly unconstitutional.” -
#LeeGelernt, who argued the case for the #ACLU, said Tuesday: “The #Trump administration’s use of a wartime statute during peacetime to regulate #immigration was rightly shut down by the court. This is a critically important decision reining in the administration’s view that it can simply declare an emergency without any oversight by the courts.”

A 3-judge panel of the #5thCircuit Court of Appeals, one of the most #conservative federal appeals courts in the country, agreed with #ImmigrantRights lawyers & lower court judges who argued the #AlienEnemiesAct of 1798 was not intended to be used against gangs like Tren de Aragua, the Venezuelan group #Trump targeted in his March invocation.

The #Trump admin is BARRED from deporting people held in WDTX under the #AlienEnemiesAct pending #SupremeCourt review. The #5thCircuit is ordered to rule not just on #DueProcess, but ALSO on the #underlying merits of the #AEA proclamation.

[#RightWing appointed #judges]… have chipped away at the #DOJ’s cases against #Jan6 rioters — & several other threats loom that could further erode the largest & most complex federal probe in history.
Many of DOJ’s recent cases have relied on a “#geofence” warrant to #Google —using devices’ location #tracking to ID people inside the restricted area of the Capitol on #J6. But the [#ultraconservative] #5thCircuit recently found geofence warrants are unconstitutional.

The #5thCircuit rejected the historical comparisons that the government offered to justify the #law barring those w/a #RestrainingOrder from possessing #guns.
Today, #SCOTUS, overturned that decision & said the #Constitution permits #laws that bar individuals deemed dangerous from #GunPossession.

#Rahimi continued to challenge the #law, & the (insanely #conservative #ActivistCourt] US Court of Appeals for the #5thCircuit reheard his case after #SCOTUS’ #Bruen ruling in which Justice #ClarenceThomas established a test for #GunLaws in his opinion: new restrictions on ownership MUST have a parallel in American HISTORY.
The unanimous 5th Circuit panel found that Rahimi was among those whose right to a weapon is protected by the #SecondAmendment.

…Stanford Law School prof Daphne Keller said the #5thCircuit’s ruling appeared to allow “a lot of normal communications as long as they are not threatening or taking over control of platforms’ #content decisions.”
“But it also says they can’t 'significantly encourage’ platforms to remove lawful content, so the real question is what that means,” she said.#law #tech #SocialMedia #Ethics #CivicResponsibility #PublicHealth #Disinformation #misinformation #MediaLiteracy

A #federal #AppealsCourt has #ruled that a #KatyTexas company and #church can #deny #employment to #LGBTQ #workers without legal recourse. The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals (#5thCircuit) #overturned a #lower #court's #ruling that the company, #BraidwoodManagement, and the church, #BearCreekCommunityChurch, #violated #TitleVII of the #CivilRightsAct of 1964 by #discriminating #against LGBTQ workers.
The #court determined that the two entities are not mandated to abide by #federal #discrimination law because they are #religious #organizations. The court's opinion said that Braidwood Management follows the belief among some Christians that "marriage is between one man and one woman."
The ruling is a #setback for #LGBTQRights advocates, who had hoped that the 5th Circuit would follow the lead of the Supreme Court (#SCOTUS), which ruled in 2020 that Title VII protects LGBTQ workers from discrimination. The Supreme Court's ruling was a landmark decision, but it did not explicitly address the issue of religious exemptions.
The 5th Circuit's ruling leaves open the possibility that other religious organizations could also deny employment to LGBTQ workers without legal repercussions. This could have a significant impact on LGBTQ workers, who could be #denied jobs or #fired simply because of their #SexualOrientation or #GenderIdentity.
The ruling is also a reminder of the importance of the ongoing fight for LGBTQ equality. Despite progress in recent years, there are still many challenges that LGBTQ people face, including discrimination in the workplace. It is important to continue to fight for the rights of LGBTQ people and to ensure that they are protected from discrimination.
