Fit with these previous rulings. on the other hand, the restriction on getting an abortion, its based on the characteristics of the fetus. the court said it was striking, it was leaving the lower court ruling in place that struck it down. without expressing any position on whether the lower court was right or not. it simply said, we dont like to take big cases like this big issues like this when there is only one lower court ruling. the usual reason the supreme court takes a case is the circuits...

Centralization, common rules coming out of brussels, yet steel national rules and identities coming out of the nearly 30 member countries and theres a tension. i think what you saw with what chancellor merkel did in germany at opening up the borders, at the height 8,000 people a day were entering germany, that would be the equivalent of over 30,000 people a day entering the united states. it simply overloaded the circuits, no the just in germany but everywhere else and it brought to the fore thi...

Established that the district courts and the supreme court, too, will have to strike the bills down. and there wont be a split among the circuits. and the second is, they are such a blunt instrument inviting the court to overturn roe v. wade, and the justices will stick with what is current plan, at least what is happening currently, is that the court is billing to entertain state laws that would narrow access to abortion, rather than outside right appeal it. so, just hitting, you know, the supr...

Last night -- a couple senator, not from him, but people with him came up to him and said literally, thank you for your bravery and honesty. a republican senator was overheard saying he really really is credible. i think the american people will see that today. if you are a trump supporter, open your eyes a bit more. even if youre a michael cohen supporter, open your eyes a bit more and you will find out a lot more not about michael cohen, about donald trump. >> michael cohen is going to jail fo...
