  1. She added that the #USPS rule “clashes with #Congress’s statutory scheme, & is #unconstitutional where it intrudes not only on Congress’s #elections clause powers but also that power left to the #states.”

  2. The #Trump admin’s abrupt declaration that the federal #law governing presidential records for the past 48 yrs is #unconstitutional is creating confusion about access to records of past presidencies, including documents that are on the verge of public release.

    The memo from the #DOJ Office of Legal Counsel, which challenges the #PresidentialRecordsAct, is intended to give #Trump the legal leeway to #destroy White House #records from his current term.

  3. #ShennaBellows says Trump's call for federal #elections takeover is blatantly #unconstitutional

    #MainePublic | By Steve Mistler

    "Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows said Tuesday that President Donald Trump's call for a federal takeover of elections is blatantly unconstitutional, but a threat that should be taken seriously given moves his administration has already made.

    "Bellows, a Democrat who is also running for governor, says the president's comments on a right-wing podcast about commandeering elections in 15 unnamed states fit a troubling pattern. That includes an effort by the Department of Justice to obtain states' private voter data, which Bellows' office is fighting alongside Oregon in federal court.

    "Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon also pushed back after receiving a letter from Attorney General Pam Bondi suggesting the immigration surge there would end if officials complied with the DOJ, a request he described as 'apparent ransom.'

    "Bellows said those moves, along with the FBI's recent raid of election offices in #FultonCounty #Georgia, suggest Trump is trying to preempt voter backlash to his policies in coming #elections.

    " 'The president fears big losses in the 2026 and 2028 and is trying to set the stage for federal interference in our elections,' she said.

    "Under the #Constitution, states govern American elections. But Trump has frequently made unsubstantiated claims that Democrats exploit the decentralized system to rig outcomes."

    #Republicans in #congress are allowing all of this to happen

    The #GOP is 💯% responsible for every #illegal #amoral #Unconstitutional #barbaric action taken by the Trump #regime

    Corporate news media refuses to ask any #Republican politician how they can justify any of this

  5. Judges not impressed by #Amazon, #SpaceX's attempt to have #US National Labor Relations Board (#NLRB) declared #unconstitutional
    Both companies took to #FifthCircuit #CourtofAppeals to argue NLRB violates separation of powers.
    "constitutionality of the NLRB (and some other federal administrative agencies) was settled decades ago," Polden told us in February. "I think that the likelihood that a credible federal appellate court would take the claim seriously is very remote"

  6. In their own words, #Project2025 would MANDATE a ‘biblically based’ family, and do away with rules that "disadvantage white people" in the job market.

    Project 2025 is unquestionably a #racist, #homophobic, #Christofascist agenda that is shockingly #unconstitutional, and wildly out-of-step with the vast majority of Americans. But there's a real chance it will be imposed if #Trump is allowed to step foot back in the #WhiteHouse.

  7. In a major decision federal #FifthCircuit #CourtofAppeals held that #geofence #warrants are “categorically prohibited by the #FourthAmendment.”
    Court determined under Supreme Court’s landmark ruling in Carpenter v. United States, individuals have reasonable expectation of #privacy in #location data implicated by #geofencewarrants.
    Second, court found that even though investigators seek warrants for geofence location data, these searches are inherently #unconstitutional.

  8. #SouthCarolina to use #CongressionalMap deemed #unconstitutional
    #SCOTUS heard arguments on the redistricting case in Oct but has yet to rule🤬, essentially running out the clock for the #2024election.

A #federal #court ruled Thurs that time had run out to draw a new congressional district in #SC & said the state could use its existing map even though it had earlier determined that map was unconstitutional.

  9. Acting In unison, these #amendments decisively affirm that granting #religiousexemptions from #antidiscriminationlaws based on the #1stAmendment must be deemed #unconstitutional.

    Central to the #14thAmendment is the principle that no #state shall "deny to any person within its jurisdiction the #equalprotection of the #laws." This serves as a resolute reinforcement of the 1st Amendment's protections, assuring equal application without #discrimination. (3/8)
