E. Jean Carroll Beats Trump AGAIN; Supreme Court Decides 4th Amendment Doesn't Protect Everyone - Glenn Kirschner
Today brought good and bad news on the legal front. The good news: E. Jean Carroll beats Trump in court for a fourth time. Trump will now need to pay Ms. Carroll a combined nearly $95 million in damages.
The bad news: the radical right, six-justice majority of the Supreme Court decided that if you look a certain way, talk a certain way, and are a wage earner, the constitutional protections against unreasonable searches and seizures don't really apply to you. The court threw out an injunction ordered by a trial court judge and affirmed by appeals court judges designed to protect Hispanics in Los Angeles against unconstitutional seizures by Trump federal law enforcement agents.
