SCOTUS Watch

the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 Monday in favor of President Trump’s executive order directing the DHS to verify the citizenship of people on the states’ mail-in ballot rolls.

It also instructs the post office to create rules to ensure that only verified, eligible voters receive mail-in ballots. But it’s not clear how much of it can be implemented before the November elections.

This wasn’t the Court’s final action but an unsigned order. It didn’t rule on the merits of Trump’s order but found that the states suing to block it hadn’t demonstrated that they would suffer harm by complying with the election integrity measures on mail-in ballots – unless you consider it a “harm” to risk turning from a blue state into a red state if the elections are honest.

And how is the post office supposed to determine/ensure who has been verified and eligible???
 
SCOTUS will review DOGE records access
The Supreme Court has accepted a case involving the watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), which is seeking access to records regarding DOGE’s early actions in the Trump administration. The question central to the case is what the Department of Government Efficiency actually was. The Trump administration insists DOGE was an advisory service to the president, while CREW contends it was an independent agency with its own authority. If it was an advisory group, then it is shielded from releasing records through the Freedom of Information Act. The Supreme Court will decide how much evidence DOGE has to provide regarding its role. CREW claims it is crucial that the public have knowledge of DOGE’s actions when it attempted to overhaul the federal government.
