Acc/to legal scholars, the president has the authority under the #InsurrectionAct of 1807 to federalize #NationalGuard units in #states to suppress “any #insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination, or conspiracy” that “so hinders the execution of the laws” that any portion of the state’s inhabitants are deprived of a #ConstitutionalRight & #state authorities are unable or unwilling to protect that right.
[which is not the case #LosAngeles]

— There's absolutely no difference, any kind of #gerrymandering should be #illegal under federal law. Political, Racial, Religious, any kind. #Tennessee districts are racially gerrymandered.
Both are designed for one purpose to #thwart the #will of the #voters, #violating their #constitutionalright to a #Republican form of #Government.

#Republican #State #SupremeCourt in #Arizona issues #Partisan #Ruling saying pro-#abortion #ballot #initiative can be forced to call #fetuses ‘#unborn #humanbeings’ by Republican dominated panel
Approving #initative makes #abortion a #constitutionalright, until 24 weeks.

For >40yrs a passionate band of #conservative & mostly #Christian activists tried to find ways to undermine the 1973 #SCOTUS ruling guaranteeing a #ConstitutionalRight to #abortion & revolutionized America. But…the country appeared to be moving away from them, increasingly #secular & increasingly #liberal on sexual matters. The anti- #abortion movement lacked the critical mass needed in DC & the #control of #courts to end federal #AbortionRights. But… #Trump …promised to name “pro-life judges”….

#France becomes first country in the world to make #abortion a #constitutionalright
-
In the months since, that draft turned into a #leak, then #law, then the rare #SCOTUS decision that affects the entire #country, reshaping #elections, the practice of #medicine & a fundamental aspect of being #female. The story of how this happened has seemed obvious: The #ConstitutionalRight to abortion effectively died w/Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg (#RBG💔), whom #Trump replaced w/a favorite of the #AntiAbortion movement, Justice Barrett.

At 11:16 AM, #Alito’s clerk circulated a 98p draft opinion in #Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health Org. After a #justice shares an opinion inside the court, other members scrutinize it. Those in the majority can request revisions, sometimes as the price of their votes, sweating sentences or even words.

A #Vital #FirstStep Towards #MarriageEquality in #Latvia.
Last month Latvia’s parliament, passed a package of eight #laws #recognising #SameSex #civilunions and associated #rights. The new legislation came in response to a 2020 #ConstitutionalCourt ruling that established that #samesexcouples have a #constitutionalright to the #benefits and #legal #protections afforded to #married #oppositesex #couples.

The #limits of the #courts in the #clash between #gayrights and #religiousbelief.
— The #Constitution doesn't allow for #religiousexemptions because doing so would necessarily require #depriving #LGBTQ #people their #constitutionalright to the #EqualProtectionoftheLaw.

#Dragqueens also enjoy #freespeech #protections
Contrary to the wishes of #conservative #extremists, the #ConstitutionalRight to #assemble does not solely extend to #Nazis, #conspiracytheorists, or #firearm enthusiasts discussing how best to legally hide their weapons in a public library.

#RCMP arbitrarily decides who's a #journalist & who isn’t & prevented journalists from #accessing sites of #Indigenous resistance. When #media fought back RCMP reduced those barriers only to #obstruct journalists’ ability to #document arrests. #Mounties have aimed guns at journalists. They’ve #arrested & #jailed #reporters for doing their job. These are #incursions on journalists’ & all #Canadians #ConstitutionalRight to a #FreePress 💥

Lawrence O’Donnell did a great job tonight highlighting #SCOTUS Chief Justice John Roberts’s obtuse #privilege revealed rather revoltingly in last night’s speech.
Article here
#ChiefJustice #JohnRoberts says it was harder for him to decide to have a fence erected around the US #SupremeCourt… than it was to… (strip) women of their #ConstitutionalRight to #abortion.
