MAGA world loves to hand out subpoenas. But when they’re the recipients of an invitation to come in and explain themselves under oath, well … not so much.

Predictably, the response to Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’s demand that Trump surrogates come in and testify about their actions to overturn Georgia’s election results and hand the state’s 16 electoral votes to Donald Trump has been a massive, collective tantrum.

Most notably, South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham, who is never happier than when hauling a Democrat in front of the Judiciary Committee for a pummeling, has taken his effort to avoid going under oath all the way to the Supreme Court after losing in Georgia state court, US District Court, and the Eleventh Circuit.

Editor’s Note: The following is an adaptation of a talk delivered by the author at a Manhattan Institute event on July 27.

my new book, Criminal (In)Justice: What the Push for Decarceration and Depolicing Gets Wrong and Who It Hurts Most, is not about me. It’s first and foremost about the far too many victims of the sorts of injustices that inspired the title—injustices like the 2019 murder of a young, unarmed Chicago mother allegedly shot by a parolee with nine prior felony convictions (including for second-degree murder); like the little boy forced to run for his life in that same city this summer, backpack in tow, as he dodged bullets meant for the group of young men he just happened to be walking past at the time; like the young woman who police say was stabbed to death in her Lower East Side apartment earlier this year by

An 1870 West Virginia law criminalizing most abortions must be reinstated, Attorney General Patrick Morrisey (R) told the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals in a brief urging it to overturn a state trial judge’s decision blocking the law’s enforcement.

The action is the latest salvo in just one of myriad battles being fought in state courts throughout the country, where abortion rights advocates have turned to state laws and constitutions to restore rights recently gutted by the US Supreme Court.

West Virginia’s criminal provision has never been repealed, and its disuse stems from Roe v. Wade, not state policy, Morrisey said. The state will suffer “extreme irreparable harm” if Kanawha County Circuit Judge Tera L. Salango’s July 18 preliminarily injunction isn’t lifted, he said.

The injunction allowed the state’s only abortion clinic, Women’s Health Center of West Virginia, to resume services after it shut down in the wake

Family Law AttorneyDetermining what assets needs to be included as marital property and who gets this stuff can be a pretty massive argument between divorcing couples. Household Courtroom conducts itself in a different way than different forms of civil and prison law. In household court, all the pieces relies on the subjective determination of a judge or mediator. Such choices are loosely primarily based on sure pointers and laws nonetheless there may be hardly ever a firm rule of law requiring the judge to make a certain determination. Moreover, such decisions or rulings rarely resolve the problem since there may be usually no apparent legal concern being argued. Wherefore MOST decisions involving custody, visitation and a myriad of related points are very SUBJECTIVELY determined.

The executor, person or personal representative will hire an property attorney to file a Petition for Probate of Will and Appointment of Executor. The probate case can be … Read more
