Heather Cox Richardson 7/9/25
ORIGINALIST JUSTICE ROBERT BORK AND THE ATTACK ON CIVIL RIGHTS
Heather Cox Richardson's analysis of the Supreme Court’s **Trump v. CASA** decision raises critical questions about birthright citizenship. As Trump inaccurately links this right to a mythologized history, Richardson clarifies that the **Fourteenth Amendment** was established to protect the rights of former slaves after the **Civil War**. The article delves into America's legacy of racial discrimination in citizenship.

#SCOTUS in #NYTvSullivan & subsequent decisions set a standard that in order to win a #libel suit, a public figure must demonstrate the offending statement was made w/ "actual malice," meaning w/ knowledge it was false or with reckless disregard as to whether it was false.
That standard has since been adopted in a number of state laws across the country, including in Nevada.

#SteveWynn, the fmr CEO of Wynn Resorts & fmr finance chair of the #RNC, is appealing a decision by Nevada's top court to dismiss his #defamation suit against the #AssociatedPress & one of its #journalists. The court found Wynn failed to show a disputed 2018 news report containing allegations of #SexualAssault had been published w/ "actual malice."

Federal district court judge temporarily blocks Trump's birthright citizenship order
Excerpt: "I’ve been on the bench for over four decades," Coughenour, a Ronald Reagan appointee, said. "I can’t remember another case where the question presented is as clear as this one. This is a blatantly unconstitutional order."

#ChiefJustice #JohnRoberts’s Unsigned Opinion
…In Feb, the justices heard arguments on a provocative question. The #Constitution’s #FourteenthAmendment, adopted after the Civil War, contains language barring #insurrectionists from holding office. So could #Colorado kick #Trump off the ballot in its #Republican primary, creating an obstacle for his presidential campaign?
Continued thread
A lifetime appointment means that #SupremeCourt justices can do whatever they wish when they are in the majority. When the justices wanted to force #Colorado to return #Trump to its presidential #ballot after the state concluded that his attempted seizure of #power on #Jan6 barred him from holding office under the #FourteenthAmendment, they moved as rapidly as possible. When they wanted to assist Trump’s strategy of delaying any possible federal trial, they took their time.
