Bankruptcy Court extended dates due to Covid-19:

Here is the latest Covid-19 court advisory:

The fight for election integrity does not end here.

On March 3, 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (ACA or Obamacare) was signed into law. The US Supreme Court (Nat’l Fed’n of Indep. Businesses v. Sebelius), upheld the personal mandate to buy health insurance pursuant to Congressional taxing authority. But the 2017 Trump tax cuts (The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017) removed the individual mandate effective this year. In December, a District Court in Texas stated that because the individual mand...ate is essential and unseverable from ACA, the ACA is unsustainable without the individual mandate. The coourt also notes that rewriting ACA without the individual mandate is beyond the power of his court. The US Attorney General defended the law in December. But Attorney General William Barr now is reversing course and has advised the appellate court that it now wants the appellate court to affirm the District Court judgment. The shift in legal position won’t make much of a difference in the lawsuit itself. Because a group of responsible states, including California, has intervened, the appeals court will hear a full-throated defense of the law. Most observers expect the court to uphold the Affordable Care Act; if so, the Supreme Court may choose not to hear the case. The irresponsibility of this new legal position is hard to overstate. It’s a shocking dereliction of the Justice Department’s duty, embraced by Republican and Democratic administrations alike, to defend acts of Congress if any plausible argument can be made in their defense. Dismantling the ACA would cause 2 million citizens to lose healthcare and cause chaos to the 156 Americans whose current policies include protections for preexisting conditions; cover preventive care and contraception without charge; changed how hospitals and physicians bill for their services; requires fast-food restaurants to post calorie counts; cut hundreds of billions of dollars of Medicare spending; imposed hundreds of billions of dollars in taxes; and much, much more. Or is this stunt a political attempt to "flip the script" from the news cycle criticizing Barr's coverup of the Mueller investigation report on the 2016 election and the Russion attack on our democracy?

California Public Records Act. Stay tuned.

Voting rights under siege in Ohio. SCOTUS rules 5-4 to uphold a terrible state policy.

US District Court Judge, Gonzalo P. Curiel, the judge who presided over the Trump University case, ruled on today to allow the Trump wall to proceed on the San Diego/Tijuana border. This ruling will likely be reviewed by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

Important News: The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has struck down Republican-drawn congressional maps as unconstitutional. This is just the latest decision against gerrymandered districts across the country. It's about time we made all elections more competitive and reflective of our democracy.

According to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, the Interior Department misused a provision of the Administrative Procedure Act when it stalled key provisions of an Obama-era rule aimed at reducing methane venting and flaring on public and tribal lands. Another judicial check on Executive misuse of power is decided.

The worst of Drumpf is the judicial appointments to the federal bench that will pollute the justice system for generations well after he’s gone.

Finally read the 9th Circuit unanimous decision upholding the State of Hawaii's injunction on the Trump Travel Ban, revised. Now both the conservative leaning 4th Circuit and the progressive leaning 9th Circuit have weighed in and both Courts agree that Trumps words matter, i.e. Campaign rhetoric and tweets. The Courts have been a strong check on Trumps overreach to ban Muslims travel visas to our country. #Resist https://assets.documentcloud.org//Read-the-Ninth-Court-of-
