Peter Navarro is staying locked up, after the Supreme Court rejected his bid to stay out while he appeals his contempt conviction. It’s the former Trump White House adviser’s second such rejection in as many months. How is that even possible, you might wonder? Recall that Navarro was sentenced in January to four months’ imprisonment for contempt of Congress after he refused to comply with a subpoena from the House Jan. 6 committee. Trying to stay free pending appeal, he filed an application to...
Arizona’s Kari Lake has found herself at the center of several court cases in recent years, and none has gone her way. In the wake of her defeat in a 2022 gubernatorial race, for example, the Republican filed a lawsuit, ostensibly to present evidence of election irregularities. That didn’t turn out well for the GOP conspiracy theorist. Lake is also, of course, dealing with an ongoing defamation case, though as NBC News recently reported, she appears poised to lose this case, too. But perhaps...

On Thursday morning, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments concerning Donald Trump’s claim that a president has “complete immunity” from criminal prosecution for acts taking place during his term in office. If Trump is successful in his appeal, it could reduce the charges he is facing in three criminal trials, as well as profoundly alter the balance of power in the government. In December, the idea that presidents hold absolute immunity from prosecution was firmly rejected by U.S. District...
On Monday, the US Supreme Court dismissed Elon Musk’s appeal about a 2018 SEC settlement regarding his infamous “funding secured” tweet. Ars Technica reports that the conservative-majority court took a break from weighing whether US Presidents should be above the law to pass on Musk’s attempt to throw out the agreement, which required him to pay fines, step down from Tesla’s board and have his tweets pre-screened by a lawyer. The justices denied Musk’s petition without commenting. Their...

Many things about Donald Trump’s Supreme Court immunity appeal are incredible (in a bad way). There’s the alleged scheme that prompted the election subversion charges at issue. There’s the former president’s equally subversive bid to avoid those charges. There’s the high court’s leisurely scheduling of the appeal, which could function as its own form of immunity by preventing a pre-election trial. The list goes on. But when the justices take the bench Thursday morning for their last scheduled...
