Federal Justice Minister David Lametti says the federal government is prepared to get involved in two controversial Quebec bills, including the language law passed Tuesday, especially if the bills reach the Supreme Court.
“We have, as we have said from the start, concerns about the preemptive use of the notwithstanding clause,” Lametti told press on Wednesday morning, a day after Bill 96 passed in the Quebec legislature using that clause.
The leak of the draft decision on May 2 sparked outcry across the political spectrum. Conservatives generally decried the leak of the document, unprecedented in recent history and a significant breach of trust among the nine justices of the high court. Leftists rallied to protest the contents of the draft and claimed that the end of Roe could spell the end of abortion access in the U.S. Notably, ending Roe would revert the question of legal access to abortion back to the states, where laws would vary widely.
“Unfortunately, we are steadily approaching a future where nothing is safe from the prying eyes of government,” said constitutional attorney John W. Whitehead, president of The Rutherford Institute and author of “Battlefield America: The War on the American People.” “As the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals recognized, ‘Foreseeable expansion in technological capabilities and the pervasive use of ever-watching surveillance will reduce Americans’ anonymity, transforming what once seemed like science fiction into fact.’”
The Supreme Court on Friday reinstated the death penalty sentence imposed on Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, reversing a lower federal appeals court ruling that had voided that punishment.
In its 6-3 ruling, the high court rejected arguments by Tsarnaev’s lawyers that his trial judge erred in barring certain questions to prospective jurors, and in blocking evidence of his brother Tamerlan’s role in a prior triple murder.
Roberts voted with 6-3 majority on OSHA rule and voted with 5-4 majority on healthcare rule.
Kavanaugh voted with 5-4 majority on healthcare rule.
Alito, Thomas, Gorsuch and Barrett voted no on both rules.

The former Today show host reveals in her new book that she let her personal political views influence her editing decisions during her 2016 interview with the late Supreme Court justice.
A new Supreme Court brings new hope to reeling in unchecked federal power. For the last few decades, the Supreme Court has allowed Congress to delegate unchecked power to unelected agency officials, who are mainly part of the executive branch. The executive branch has thus legislated through unelected officials and latched onto powers not granted to them via the Constitution.
The US Supreme Court has ruled that the CDC does not have the authority to do a moratorium on evictions. The High Court is allowing evictions to resume throughout the country. The Court blocked the Biden administration from enforcing the temporary eviction moratorium. We’ll just have to wait and see if this lawless administration will comply with the Court’s ruling.
Guess what’s unconstitutional? When the federal government tells property owners they cannot be paid by tenants who rent their property.
In September 2020, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) told state courts that they could not hear eviction proceedings and unilaterally declared that private property owners had to allow non-paying renters to live rent-free until the CDC says otherwise. At the time, the CDC pointed to COVID-19 as justification for its unprecedented power grab, but it quickly proclaimed that the federal agency could stop evictions at anytime in the name of “fairness”—pandemic or not.
President Joe Biden is sticking by his campaign promise to nominate a black woman to the Supreme Court if a seat opens during his term, the White House said.
Asked whether the White House is preparing for a possible vacancy on the nine-judge court, Psaki reiterated Biden’s pledge to advance diversity in his administration, including for the country’s top justices.
I nominate Candace Owens!
The Biden administration and a Pennsylvania school district urged a skeptical Supreme Court this morning to let school districts suppress free speech by students on social media if they deem it potentially disruptive to school operations.
Potentially???
“It is curious how the Court’s view of the maturity of minors ebbs and flows depending on the issue,” Thomas noted.
