Susan Collins (R-Maine) claimed that she was misled by Supreme Court Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch during their Senate confirmation hearings following the Monday night publishing of a leaked draft opinion that would overturn Roe v.

The Supreme Court blocked a lower court’s ruling 5-4 that would have forced Alabama to draw a new congressional map to create two districts likely to elect black House members. The federal court said that the map violated Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act.

Justice Brett Kavanaugh referenced previous instances where the court declined to change rules close to an election. Primary elections begin on May 24, but absentee bal...

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-Rhode Island) has asked Attorney General Merrick Garland to investigate the FBI’s background check of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, calling the probe a “fake” investigation into sexual assault claims lodged against Kavanaugh during his 2018 confirmation process. According to Whitehouse, the FBI never interviewed Kavanaugh or his accuser Christine Blasey. The FBI also allegedly failed to follow up on allegations made regarding Kavanaugh’s behavior when he was in high school in the early 1980s. Whitehouse is one of many who have questioned Kavanaugh’s backgrou...

President Joe Biden has ordered a 180-day study on the expansion of the U.S. Supreme Court, fulfilling one of his campaign promises to initiate a bipartisan commission to examine the possibility of adding seats to the court and potentially setting term limits for justices. Former President Donald Trump appointed three justices to the court during his time in office – a move that prompted activists to push for more seats, as the court now has strong conservative majority. Altering the size of the court is a move that would likely be met with fierce opposition, especially with Congress almost ev...

The FBI is facing allegations that the background check on U.S. Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh in 2018 was “politically-constrained and perhaps fake.” The 2018 background check was conducted after a woman accused Kavanaugh of sexual assault.

He argued that there’s reason to believe the FBI did not properly manage its investigation and overlooked several potential witnesses. “If standard procedures were violated, and...
