We’re Not Doomed to Live Under the Supreme Court’s Mistakes. Here Are Five Ways Congress Can Clean Up SCOTUS’s Mess.

Mike Johnson Is 'Very Disappointed' The Constitution Still Applies

House Speaker Mike Johnson got the news the way the rest of us did: live, in real time, mid-sentence. He was in the middle of fielding a question on birthright citizenship at his GOP leadership presser Tuesday when reporters interrupted to read him the Supreme Court's ruling. His response was a flat, deflated Oh dear — followed by a more polished but equally grim I'm very disappointed in that outcome after a loud, long groan accompanied by an eyeroll. The Court ruled 6-3 that Trump's day-one executive order stripping citizenship from children born on U.S. soil to undocumented or temporary-resident parents violates the 14th Amendment — a constitutional guarantee that's stood for 160 years. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the majority opinion, joined by Justice Amy Coney Barrett and the Court's three liberal justices. Justice Samuel Alito, writing alone, called it one of the most important decisions in the history of the Court and a serious mistake. On an aside, sort of, I'm wondering if Alito's wife, Martha-Ann Alito, is now displaying her American flag upside down again. Mine is, but for very different reasons. Back to the subject. read more

Massive blunder as news outlet prematurely releases Mitch McConnell memoriam piece

Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has not passed away, at least according to current news reports — but The Hill accidentally published an article clearly intended to be embargoed until he has.The article in question, screenshotted and posted to X ahead of its removal, was titled, A lookback at Mitch McConnell's time in the Senate, but was prefaced by an all-caps warning to site editors, saying, DO NOT USE.McConnell, a decades-long titan in the Senate who previously served as Republican Leader, has been in the hospital for weeks, after he was reportedly discovered unconscious and unresponsive in his home, given CPR for cardiac arrest, and taken by advanced emergency support team.Few details have been released publicly about his condition since then, although some sources have insisted he is recovering.This comes after Laura Loomer, a far-right influencer with close ties to the White House, alleged with no evidence that sources told her McConnell is officially brain dead, something that no other source has corroborated.This is not the first time in the last few weeks that a major story was erroneously published and retracted. NPR's Nina Totenberg came under fire last week after publishing an article announcing the retirement of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, who as of this writing has not retired.
