Not necessarily for women, according to Oklahoma governor Kevin Stitt. Photo: Sue Ogrocki/AP/Shutterstock While the end of Roe v. Wade last year imposed terrible hardships on women across the country, there have been some glimmers of hope for supporters of reproductive rights — like voters in six states backing pro-choice ballot measures . But some states are so firmly in the grip of anti-abortion activists and their religious and political partners that good news on the issue is hard to come by. One such state is Oklahoma. But this week, the State Supreme Court overturned a small part of the state’s near-total abortion ban, ruling in a 5-4 decision that abortions must be allowed in situations where there is a reasonable chance that the mother’s life is in danger. To be clear, the court didn’t go hog wild with the idea of protecting a woman’s right to life. As the Washington Post noted : Oklahoma’s constitution protects the right to an abortion if “the woman’s … [Read more...] about Oklahoma Court Narrowly Preserves Right to Lifesaving Abortion

WASHINGTON, DC – Joe Biden judicial nominee Kato Crews stumbled during his Senate confirmation hearing Wednesday, not knowing one of the most basic constitutional protections for citizens accused of crimes by their government, confusing it with Second Amendment rights, about which he likewise seemed confused. Biden nominated Crews for a lifetime appointment as a trial judge on the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado, where he currently serves as a federal magistrate. Previously he was a labor lawyer, making his nomination consistent with Biden’s understanding that big union bosses are the cornerstone of his political coalition and absolutely essential to his running for a second term. Crews’ confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee went off the rails when Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) asked him, “Do you know what a Brady motion is?” “It’s not coming to mind at the moment,” Crews responded. “I believe that the Brady case involved something regarding … [Read more...] about Biden Judicial Nominee Clueless on Due Process Rights

Israel’s Parliament passed legislation early Thursday that would make it more difficult to declare prime ministers incapacitated and remove them from office, a move that critics said was aimed at protecting the country’s leader, Benjamin Netanyahu, who is on trial for corruption . Under the legislation, the latest in a series of divisive bills pursued by the government, a sitting prime minister could only be declared incapacitated on physical or mental health grounds. The bill, passed by a bare majority of 61 in the 120-seat Parliament, came just before tens of thousands of Israelis took to the streets for another stormy day of protest against the government plan for a broad overhaul of the judiciary . Opponents of the plan, which would give the government more control over judicial appointments and weaken the Supreme Court by severely restricting judicial review of legislation, say that it would subvert the country’s democratic system. The bill passed on Thursday … [Read more...] about In Israel, Another Divisive Law on Another Day of Mass Protest
