Assange kann Auslieferung vor dem High Court anfechten

Am gestrigen Montag haben zwei Richter des Londoner High #Court #Julian #Assange das #Recht gegeben, die vorher genehmigte #Auslieferung an die #USA vor diesem Gericht anzufechten. Wann diese #Verhandlung beginnt, steht allerdings in den Sternen. Weitere Monate des bitteren Wartens im #Hochsicherheitsgefängnis für Julian Assange und seine Familie. Derweil braucht sich US-Präsidentschaftskandidat #Biden nicht mit einem Prozess in den USA herumzuschlagen, in dem es um die Frage geht, ob der Journalismus des wahrscheinlich prominentesten #Dissidenten des Westens durch den Ersten US-Verfassungszusatz, der #Meinungsfreiheit garantiert, gedeckt ist. Denn das war gestern der zentrale Punkt bzw. ist der einzige Punkt geblieben, wegen dem Julian Assange Berufung einlegen kann.

‘They’re All a Bunch of Dicks!’ Someone Released a U-Haul Full of Penis Balloons Outside Trump’s Trial

A U-Haul van outside Donald Trump’s hush money trial released dozens of pink mylar balloons on Thursday.

But these weren’t just any mylar balloons; they were made in the shape of anatomically-correct penises, and each one sported the visage of a top Trump trial player, such as District Attorney Alvin Bragg and Judge Juan Merchan. Special Counsel Jack Smith, who is prosecuting Trump in two other cases, was also mocked. ...

College swimmers, volleyball players sue #NCAA over #transgender policies

source: https://apnews.com/article/transgender-lia-thomas-swimming-lawsuit-b7df63108a03100f36b2e4364d585cdc

Former Kentucky swimmer #RileyGaines was among more than a dozen college athletes who filed a lawsuit against the NCAA on Thursday, accusing it of violating their Title IX rights by allowing transgender #woman #LiaThomas to compete at the national championships in 2022.

The #lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Atlanta, details the shock Gaines and other swimmers felt when they learned they would have to share a locker room with Thomas at the championships in #Atlanta. It documents a number of races they swam in with Thomas, including the 200-yard final in which Thomas and Gaines tied for fifth but Thomas, not Gaines, was handed the fifth-place trophy.

US supreme #court ‘erred badly’ with #Trump ruling, leading US historian says

Source: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/mar/05/us-supreme-court-trump-ruling

“For historians,” the brief said, “contemporary evidence from the decision-makers who sponsored, backed and voted for the 14th amendment … demonstrates that decision-makers crafted section three to cover the president and to create an enduring check on insurrection, requiring no additional action from #Congress.”

On Monday the supreme court disagreed, saying in an unsigned opinion: “We conclude that states may disqualify persons holding or attempting to hold state office. But states have no power under the #constitution to enforce section three with respect to federal offices, especially the presidency.”

This makes it one of those democracies where there are draconian punishments for minor crimes that overcrowd the prisons, but those who attempt a #coup have nothing to fear.

#GinaCarano sues #Disney and #Lucasfilm over firing in suit paid for by #ElonMusk

source: https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2024/feb/06/gina-carano-sues-disney-mandalorian

#Carano had used her online presence to share a post that implied that being a Republican is similar to being Jewish during #Nazi #Germany, ridicule mask-wearing during the worst days of Covid-19 and spread #conspiracy theories over the 2020 #election.

Freedom of speech is a great good and part of the #constitution. But you should think about what you say and consider the #consequences. What the Republicans want is to say absolutely everything without any consequences. But that's not how #communication works. The brain can be used and not every analogy is valid. If #Musk now pays everyone to go to court, the American justice system will probably come to a standstill.

US says #genocide charges ‘unfounded,’ rejects Israeli claim #SouthAfrica serving #Hamas

“Genocide is one of the most heinous acts any entity or individual can commit, and such allegations should only be made with the greatest of care,” he added. “Israel has the right to defend itself against Hamas’s terrorist acts — acts that Hamas has vowed to repeat again and again until #Israel is completely destroyed.”

#State Supreme #Court Races Could Make or Break 'Firewall for Our #Democracy'
JULIA CONLEY
Jan 04, 2024

..."In Wisconsin, Justice Janet Protasiewicz won her state supreme court seat last April in an election that inspired the state's highest-ever turnout for an off-election year #judicial race. Supporters of the #Democratic judge highlighted her strong backing of #abortion #rights, voting access, and worker protections, and noted that a Democratic majority on the state's high court could decide whether former President Donald Trump would be able to challenge the 2024 election results, as he attempted to in 2020.

Voters in Ohio and Michigan are among those who face similarly high stakes this year, Harris said. In the former state, two Democratic judges and one Republican are up for reelection to a court that currently has a 4-3 majority favoring the GOP.
...
In Michigan, where the high court has a 4-3 Democratic majority and two judges on the 2024 ballot—one from each party—victories for the GOP could also allow a new conservative majority to reverse several pro-abortion rights laws passed in 2023.

"After Roe v. Wade was overturned, we had to turn to state courts and state constitutions as the critical backstop to protecting access to abortion," Brigitte Amiri, deputy director at the ACLU's Reproductive Freedom Project, told the AP. "And the stakes are unbelievably high in each of these cases in each of these states."

The results of this year's state court races could also have implications for redistricting efforts, which the Republican State Leadership Committee told the AP it is focusing on heavily, calling the state supreme courts the "last line of defense against far-left national groups."...
