Every term of the Supreme Court includes decisions of great import. By design, the cases that the Court selects for consideration are deemed to be legally and socially significant.[i] This term, the Court decided on such high-stakes issues abortion, immigration, health care, and executive power all of which have preoccupied it before. As in the past, the Court’s rulings were implicated and issued in the context of pivotal social, political, and economic events. In this regard, one could say that the 2019 Term was not all that unusual. But that characterization would ignore what has been a remarkable season for the Court, both with regard to the societal context in which the term unfolded and, with few exceptions, the Court’s apparent disregard of the salience of that context. Instead, the general tack was to adhere tightly to text, to original meanin

According to Patrick Byrne at DeepCapture.com, Sidney Powell, General Flynn and he, leading a team of computer analysts, lawyers, etc., put together all the evidence needed by President Trump to invoke that “foreign interference in elections” Executive Order, call in the national guard to seize the handful of county voting records that are in dispute, conduct a recount or even a revote in those counties, and get it all done before January 20. For reasons that aren’t clear, Rudy (I don’t know how the internet works and am too old to learn) blocked them, made alliance with all those around the President who just wanted him out.
A recent Supreme Court precedent could stand in the way of President Joe Biden’s reversal of his predecessor’s action clearing the way for construction of an oil pipeline from Alberta, Canada, to Nebraska.

A lawsuit from across the northern U.S. border over the Biden administration’s halting of an oil pipeline could hang on a Supreme Court ruling against the Trump administration related to the southern border.
In his first day in office, President Joe Biden canceled construction of the Keystone XL oil pipeline, an action projected to wipe out 11,000 jobs, including 8,000 union jobs.

The solar plant portfolio comprises five located in California and one each in Alabama and Indiana.
They were commissioned between 2014 and 2017 and benefit from long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs) with the Regents of the University of California, Alabama Power Company, PG&E, Southern California Edison, City of Palo Alto and Indianapolis Power & Light.
Alabama Power has not exercised the right of first refusal it had regarding the Lafayette solar plant.

LOS ALAMOS, N.M., January 27, 2021 A new 3D analysis shows that wildland fires flare up in forests populated by similar-sized trees or checkerboarded by large clearings and slow down where trees are more varied. The research can help fire managers better understand the physics and dynamics of fire to improve fire-behavior forecasts. We knew fuel arrangement affected fire but we didn t know how, said Adam Atchley, lead author on a Los Alamos National Laboratory-led study published today in the
