WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republican officials from 16 U.S. states led by Texas said on Tuesday they have come to the defense of President Donald Trump's ban on travelers from six Muslim-majority nations, telling the Supreme Court the order did not unconstitutionally single out Muslims and was needed to protect national security.

"The challengers are arguing that the president is using emergency powers unconstitutionally to access funds Congress has been unwilling to appropriate," says Liza Goitein, a co-director of the Liberty and National Security Program at the Brennan Center for Justice, who authored an expansive explainer on emergency powers for the Atlantic.

He could cast the deciding vote in two other high-profile disputes on the upcoming calendar: one testing whether the Wisconsin state legislature unconstitutionally gerrymandered voting districts to favor Republicans, the other whether the Christian owner of a Colorado bakery may refuse to make a wedding cake for a gay couple.

In Reynolds v Sims, a landmark case at the Supreme Court in 1964, the justices ruled that "an individual's right to vote for state legislators is unconstitutionally impaired when its weight is in a substantial fashion diluted when compared with votes of citizens living in other parts of the state".

The CFPB's defenders, as you would expect, sided with DOJ on what the Supreme Court should do if the justices decide the bureau's director is unconstitutionally insulated from accountability to the president: just sever the appointment provision's good-cause requirement and otherwise allow the CFPB to continue its crucial mission.

In his signing statement, Trump outlines a range of provisions in the spending bill that he says would "unconstitutionally" limit his authority as commander in chief — and indicates that where the bill conflicts with the White House's interpretation of the president's powers under the Constitution, he will go with the Constitution.

Democrats' other preparations for the next round of redistricting was a mixed bag last month: Though they lost the Wisconsin race, the party notched a provisional win in Michigan when a panel of federal judges in Michigan threw out GOP-drawn congressional and state legislative maps, calling them unconstitutionally gerrymandered.

That announcement, which came less than a day after Democrats won back majority control of the House in the midterm elections, was immediately met with criticism from Democrats and legal experts, who alleged that Whitaker was unconstitutionally appointed and was selected because of his past skepticism toward special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia probe.

FBI agents soon realized that by portraying their work as intelligence gathering and not emphasizing the law enforcement aspects, they could go to a different court -- the FISA court, with its unconstitutionally low bar for obtaining a search warrant (namely, probable cause of speaking to a foreign person) -- to get search warrants.

But Mark Perry of Gibson Dunn & Crutcher, who represents onetime radio host and financial advisor Raymond Lucia, told me he will argue in a merits briefing that the Supreme Court should determine an appropriate remedy if it concludes ALJs were unconstitutionally appointed, rather than leaving lower courts to figure out what to do.

Not only has he violated Trump's civil liberties and the rule of law by unconstitutionally giving Robert Mueller the powers of a principal officer without Mueller's having been nominated by the president and confirmed by the Senate, he has undermined in the American people's eyes the integrity of the Justice Department itself.

The Masterpiece case, at least on the surface, is primarily about free speech; the justices have to grapple with the nature of the baker's "expression" before they can get to the question of whether being required to bake the wedding cake would unconstitutionally coerce him to express sentiments that violate his religious beliefs.

"Unless the relief sought by Plaintiffs is granted, the State's recount and certification deadlines will force local canvassing boards to unconstitutionally reject the ballots cast by Floridians that were improperly rejected on Election Night due to voting machine error and that would be counted in a machine or manual recount," the lawsuit reads.

As Corey Brettschneider, a political scientist at Brown University, observes, admitting that the first ban was not politically correct implies that both it and the second order unconstitutionally target Muslims, even if animus in the latter is slightly better cloaked: "No one thinks that targeting countries that posed an actual threat would be politically incorrect".

"The Ordinance is a prior restraint on Candy Lab AR's speech, impermissibly restricts Candy Lab AR's speech because of its content, and is unconstitutionally vague such that Candy Lab AR does not have notice as to what speech must be approved by permit and which it can express without seeking a permit," the suit reads.

CFPB, presents two questions: Does the Consumer Financial Protection Act, which is part of the Dodd-Frank financial reform statute, unconstitutionally shield the CFPB director from accountability to the president by prohibiting the director's removal without good cause; and, if the removal provision is unconstitutional, can it be severed from the rest of law?

The three-judge panel ruled that the law violates the Equal Protection Clause because it unconstitutionally bars a class of felons from voting based only on their wealth "It is undeniable that the [law's legal financial obligation] requirement punishes those who cannot pay more harshly than those who can," the appeals court said Wednesday.

The hedge fund, Aurelius, has a straightforward claim: The members of the Promesa board were unconstitutionally appointed, and therefore the steps toward a debt restructuring that the control board has taken and plans to take (which would likely force Aurelius to take a haircut on the nearly half a billion dollars of Puerto Rican debt it holds) are invalid.

Trump and 85003 Democrats both argue the end of the Mueller probe offers advantages > The Hill: Supreme Court takes another crack at partisan gerrymandering issue On Tuesday the justices will look with a new set of eyes at whether politicians can go too far and unconstitutionally manipulate the lines of voting districts to favor one political party over another.

He was harshly critical of the former FBI director — "In key moments, then Director Comey chose to deviate from the FBI's and the Department's established procedures and norms and instead engaged in his own subjective, ad hoc decisionmaking" — but there's no evidence in the report that Comey violated any kind of criminal statute, let alone acted unconstitutionally.

While working as an assistant prosecutor in the mid-1950s Mr. Lacey also served as a councilman in his hometown, Glen Ridge, N.J. As a partner at Shanley & Fisher, a New Jersey firm, he was a pro bono counsel for a Rahway State Prison inmate who claimed that he was being unconstitutionally denied wages for prison work.

The petition's more interesting argument, in my view, is that the FHFA case offers the justices the opportunity not just to opine on the constitutionality of the structure of agencies with a lone director removable only for good cause, but also on the constitutionally-required remedy for actions taken by an agency headed by an unconstitutionally appointed director.

Whenever the courts decide whether a policy is unconstitutionally prejudiced or discriminatory, there's a meta-question of what a judge is allowed to consider when making that decision: whether she's confined to the "four corners" of the policy as written, or allowed to "look behind" it to its history and the rhetoric of its supporters and critics.

"An agent acting — albeit unconstitutionally — in the name of the United States possesses a far greater capacity for harm than an individual trespasser exercising no authority other than his own," Justice William Brennan explained for the Court in Bivens, and so the federal courts should remedy such harms by allowing people injured by a federal agent's unconstitutional actions to sue the agent directly.

TALL: Yes, well I think it&aposs controversial, Laura, just because what we have in a lot of high policed areas or areas that are policed particularly communities of African-American and Hispanics, is we have over policing where a lot of the innocent people end up getting tagged or pulled aside or stopped unconstitutionally against their Fourth Amendment right.

In late February 2018, the EFF again wrote to states' House representatives to oppose the bill, stating that it would not only unconstitutionally infringe on free speech rights, but also the "right to privately speak and listen on the Internet without reporting that activity to government officials," and the rights of property owners to use their devices as they see fit.

Now some of those arrested that night — part of a larger group of predominantly young people of color called the "Cartersville 70" — have filed a lawsuit against the city, several dozen members of the Cartersville Police Department, and members of the Bartow County-Cartersville Drug Task Force, arguing that they were unconstitutionally arrested and were subjected to mistreatment after police detained them.

In practice, what that means is letting election officials check the signature somewhere on the absentee ballot against the signature on an application or a form of government ID. Over the past year, judges in California and New Hampshire have struck down the requirements, declaring they unconstitutionally deprived voters of their right to cast a ballot and have it counted.

Wade asserted a right to abortion based on a right to privacy found in the due process clause of the 14th Amendment; many observers have argued this is a flimsy basis for the right to abortion, and that premising it on the equal protection clause, and arguing that restrictions on abortion unconstitutionally burden women without affecting men, would make for a firmer foundation.

The past three decades have seen a steady erosion of the privacy protected by the Fourth Amendment, as a majority of the court has bowed to the practical realities of crime control and continued to diminish the scope of the most important remedy for privacy violations by government agents, the exclusionary rule, which demands that evidence unconstitutionally seized be suppressed.

When the bureau and the Justice Department responded last September to Seila Law's petition for Supreme Court review of the 9th Circuit decision that the CFPB passes constitutional muster, the CFPB walked away from its previous defense of its structure, agreeing with Seila that the justices should take the case and find the bureau's director to be unconstitutionally insulated from accountability to the president.

With all of that said, it is always possible that Mueller wanted to indict Trump but could not do so, because of a longstanding Justice Department rule that states: "The indictment or criminal prosecution of a sitting president would unconstitutionally undermine the capacity of the executive branch to perform its constitutionally assigned functions" — and one thing we know about Robert Mueller is that he plays things by the book.
