WASHINGTON—Presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump took a big step toward rallying GOP conservatives around his candidacy with his list of potential Supreme Court picks, a who’s-who list of legal conservatives which draws a sharp contrast to Hillary Clinton and the Democrats.

Last week, the Supreme Court held that when the government mistakenly believes a person is exercising his free-speech rights, yet that person is, in fact, not exercising any rights at all, it still violates the First Amendment to punish that person for what officials thought he was doing. The Court’s conservative justices disagree.

WASHINGTON—On April 29, the Supreme Court issued an unusual order denying the relief requested by challengers to Texas’s voter-ID law, but also sending a signal to the appeals court currently examining the law, informing the lower court that it only has until July 20 to make a final decision, so that the Supreme Court would have time to act if necessary before the 2016 election.

Mark Paoletta, former White House Assistant Counsel for President George H.W. Bush, joined SiriusXM host and Breitbart News Executive Chairman Stephen K. Bannon on Breitbart News Daily Monday morning, saying a new movie on Justice Clarence Thomas’s confirmation hearings was made to boost Hillary Clinton’s general election chances.

Kerry Washington, the actress who plays law professor Anita Hill in HBO’s upcoming film about the confirmation hearings for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas in 1991, claims Confirmation is “not a propaganda movie.”

Actor Wendell Pierce, who plays Clarence Thomas in HBO’s Confirmation, says he believes “something happened” between Thomas and then-law professor Anita Hill (Kerry Washington). Hill accused her former Equal Employment Opportunity Commission boss Clarence Thomas of sexual harassment in 1991, just

All eight justices of the Supreme Court are leaving open the possibility of allowing states to draw lines based on citizenship or voter-eligibility, making this yet another issue likely to be decided by the outcome of the 2016 presidential election.

HBO’s upcoming film about the explosive 1991 confirmation hearings of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has come under fire from those involved in the proceedings, who have accused the film of being riddled with inaccuracies and anti-Republican bias.

The Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) announced on Monday that a lower court’s decision to uphold Massachusetts’ ban on stun guns must be revisited.

Representative Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) stated that some members of the Congressional Black Caucus were disappointed that President Obama did not nominate black woman to the Supreme Court because “the only black we have on the court is a black man

HBO has released an extended trailer for Confirmation, which stars Kerry Washington as Anita Hill.

On a day that marked the first time in 10 years that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas uttered a single word from the bench, the British-based tabloid Daily Mail mocked Thomas’s rare inquest in a vile headline: “IT SPEAKS! Justice Clarence Thomas asks a question in court for the first time in 10 YEARS in gun case .”

On February 29, during a Supreme Court case revolving around misdemeanor domestic abusers and gun rights, Associate Justice Clarence Thomas broke his 10-year silence from the bench to ask the government’s lawyer to list any other situation where a “misdemeanor violation suspends a constitutional right.”

WASHINGTON, DC—As the nation says goodbye to Justice Antonin Scalia, each of his colleagues issued statements praising their departed colleague. The statements from each of the current members of the Supreme Court are reproduced here:

The Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) refused last year to intercede and reverse a Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit ruling that upheld the “assault weapons” ban in Chicago’s Highland Park. Associate Justice Clarence Thomas dissented–Antonin Scalia joining him–suggesting that wordsmiths were finding categories of guns to ban by listing types of firearms outside those explicitly in focus in District of Columbia v. Heller (2008).

The death of Justice Antonin Scalia will have an immediate impact on a Texas case scheduled for oral argument March 2nd at the U.S. Supreme Court. The court is set to hear a lawsuit claiming that a Texas law unconstitutionally limits access to abortions in the state.

Actress Kerry Washington hit the Television Critics Association winter press tour in Pasadena on Thursday, where she discussed her preparations to play Anita Hill in the upcoming HBO film Confirmation.

When the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) refused to hear a case challenging an “assault weapons” ban in a Chicago suburb on December 7, Justice Clarence Thomas dissented and revealed his belief that court “precedents”‘ would have shown AR-15s—and similar rifles—are protected by the Second Amendment.

WASHINGTON D.C.—The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday declined to review a city ordinance in Illinois restricting so-called “assault weapons.” Two justices dissented from the Court’s denying review and noted a disturbing trend against the Second Amendment.

Let me be very, very clear about one thing: The DC Media cannot allow Dr. Ben Carson to become President of the United States. And if the DC Media has to put on white robes, burn crosses, grab firehoses, and

As Dr. Ben Carson continues his rise in the 2016 Republican presidential polls, media mogul Rupert Murdoch tweeted favorably about him: “Ben and Candy Carson terrific. What about a real black President who can properly address the racial divide? And much else.”

The most recent round of released Hillary Clinton emails includes a memo by David Brock on impeaching Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.

The confluence of a Supreme Court that decides it has the power to legislate, a pro-active politicized bureaucracy at HUD that is betting the court will help it end-run Congress, and a Congress that allows itself to be manipulated by allowing its own independent agency to usurp its legislative function confirms that the federal government in its entirety has now merely become yet another arm of the Democratic Party.

Star Trek star George Takei apologized Friday for calling Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas a “clown in blackface” in remarks he made after the Court’s ruling to legalize same-sex marriage last week.

For the first time since Jeff Zucker took control of CNN, the left-wing network is not only refusing to  obsess over an episode of anti-black racism, I have yet to see a single segment on the story. The reason for

Star Trek celebrity and gay marriage activist George Takei told a Phoenix news station Monday that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is a “clown in blackface.” Takei was referring to Thomas’s recent dissent in Obergefell v. Hodges, the 5-4 decision in which the Supreme Court found that there is a “fundamental” right to same-sex marriage in the Constitution. “He is a clown in black face sitting on the Supreme Court. He gets me that angry. He doesn’t belong there,” Takei said.

Judge Richard Posner writes at Slate.com that the dissent by Chief Justice John Roberts in the gay marriage case is “heartless.” It is a false charge, and part of the effort to shame opposing views–about which Justice Samuel Alito warned in his own dissent.

When the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) ruled that every state must recognize same sex marriages, they used a basis for judgement that will not easily stop at same sex marriage. In fact, it is a basis for judgement that should offer itself to national reciprocity of concealed carry permits and permit holders.

On June 8, the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) chose not to overturn two gun controls in San Francisco, one of which requires gun owners to lock their guns up in their homes and another which bans hollow point ammunition.

Kerry Washington is set to continue her small-screen hot streak in a new film for HBO.

The Scandal actress is set to play Anita Hill in the pay cabler’s upcoming film, Confirmation, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

The U.S. Supreme Court took a pass on preventing a lower court judge from allowing gay marriage in Alabama, a move that court watchers feel is an indication that the court will approve gay marriage nationwide later this year.

The U.S. Supreme Court says it will not act to stop same-sex marriages in Alabama.
