Washington (AFP) - Prosecutors overstepped in charging January 6 rioters with obstruction for trying to prevent certification of the 2020 presidential election, the US Supreme Court said Friday, throwing hundreds of cases into doubt. The matter was brought to the court through an appeal by former police officer Joseph Fischer, a supporter of former president Donald Trump who entered the Capitol in Washington with hundreds of others on January 6, 2021. Writing the opinion for the majority, Chief Justice John Roberts said prosecutors' interpretation of the law would "criminalize a broad swath of...

Washington (AFP) - The conservative-majority US Supreme Court struck down 40 years of legal precedent Friday, curbing the power of federal agencies to regulate critical issues affecting Americans' daily lives, from air quality to drug safety and more. In a 6-3 vote, judges overruled the landmark 1984 ruling in Chevron v Natural Resources Defense Council, which said judges should defer to government experts in determining a "reasonable" interpretation of the law if the language is ambiguous. But that had proved to be "fundamentally misguided," and defied the command of a statute asking courts t...

Washington (AFP) - The US Supreme Court on Thursday rejected Purdue Pharma's $6 billion opioids settlement immunizing the Sackler family, which controlled the drugmaker, from future litigation. In a 5-4 ruling, the judges agreed with the Justice Department which argued that the Sacklers, who earned tens of billions of dollars flooding the country with highly addictive opioids, should not gain sweeping legal protection in the controversial deal. The court held that "the bankruptcy code does not authorize this kind of order," with the majority opinion written by Neil Gorsuch and joined by Claren...

Washington (AFP) - The US Supreme Court on Thursday cleared the way for women experiencing medical emergencies to obtain abortions in Idaho, but the ruling's narrow scope meant it was a muted victory for reproductive rights activists. The decision comes two years after the conservative-majority bench dismantled the nationwide right to terminate a pregnancy, making it a pivotal issue in November's presidential election. In a brief, unsigned order, the court reinstated a lower court's injunction that ensured hospitals could perform abortions to protect a mother's health, dismissing appeals by t...

By Selim SAHEB ETTABA Washington (AFP) - La Cour suprême américaine à majorité conservatrice a accordé jeudi un répit aux partisans du droit à l'avortement en l'autorisant de nouveau dans l'Etat d'Idaho en cas d'urgence médicale, sans leur donner satisfaction sur le fond. Le président démocrate Joe Biden, qui se pose en champion des droits des femmes face à son prédécesseur républicain et adversaire à l'élection de novembre Donald Trump, a salué une décision qui rétablit l'accès à l'interruption volontaire de grossesse (IVG) dans les hôpitaux en Idaho en cas d'urgence médicale. "Aucune femme n...

Washington (AFP) - An American man was executed Wednesday in Texas for the 2001 murder of a woman. In 2006, Ramiro Gonzales was convicted and sentenced to death for the rape and murder of Bridget Townsend when they both were 18 years old. Gonzales, now 41, was pronounced dead at 6:50 p.m. local time (23:50 GMT). He was executed via lethal injection. "To the Townsend family, I’m sorry I can’t articulate, I can’t put into words the pain I have caused y’all, the hurt, what I took away that I cannot give back," Gonzales said in his final statement. In January 2001, Gonzales kidnapped, raped and s...
