Attorney General Merrick Garland announced that the Department of Justice is suing the state of Georgia Friday over their passing of a law to ensure election integrity and security. President Biden has been highly critical of the new law comparing it to Jim Crow. George Washington University Law Professor and Fox News contributor Jonathan Turley sat down with "Fox & Friends" Saturday to analyze the DOJ lawsuit. "I'm highly skeptical and I think they may ultimately regret this move. It could indeed clarify this issue in a way the Biden administration does not want," Turley said.

If someone happens to look at the Constitution, this lawsuit goes down in flames.

This will allow the little weasel, Garland, to tie up the new law in court, to reelect the black dude next year, and perhaps, through multiple appeals, keep the new law out of the 2024 election. Unethical ? Of course.

I heard the AG of Georgia said bring it on. It won't stand up (no standing) in the Georgia court of law. This is a tactic to take attention away from the Arizona audit results predicted to be revealed early next. I wonder if McSally will replace Kelly and how that will be done. Expect the pathetic looking screaming memes on MSNBC and CNN to be howling.

Considering how much federal courts of law have become more and more politicized (commencing at least since the mid 1970s) it's difficult to even try to make educated guesses how they may decide cases that involve voting procedures and/or races of voters.

Years ago, most people began to see the Democrats for what they are - lying, cheating creeps. So, they’d move the goalposts and change the rules to keep their majority. Of course the result of the last election was to lie and cheat with everything they could come up with to remove Trump and install a senile fool and a low IQ woman. This is just their latest trick.

Turley is very often right. Unfortunately this “Fox digital assistant” is not a reporter or a journalist. Terrible writing, repetition, ridiculous. Too often Fox’s print articles are shallow and poorly written. It sounds as though Turley sees this lawsuit’s opening the door to clarification of states’ rights re elections and restriction of the fed in trying to meddle with them or control them.

Funny how states rights trumped everything, when sanctuary cities and states were going against President Trump. But states rights don't count when the idiot doofus in Washington is against something. I remember Obies admin. trying to withhold federal funds from NC, when they wouldn't let boy's in the girls bathrooms, President Trump couldn't withhold fed. funding for sanctuary violations, and now it will be OK again to withhold fed. funding because the village idiot says so. They talk about defunding the ATF, but it's the DOJ that needs to be shut down. And where are the media cries about an AG that doesn't represent ALL of the citizenry, not just the Man from Dementia? Is Garland doofus' wing man?

Folks, Garland has to know that the DOJ will eventually lose this lawsuit, as the dems so often do. But Garland will surely seek an injunction against implementing the new statute in the 2022 election, and possibly the 2024 election. Why would Garland think to do this? Answer 1: to intimidate other legislatures from passing similar voting integrity laws, until this one is ruled on by the SCOTUS. Answer 2: This suit is surely being filed in one of the three federal district courts of Georgia. My bet is that it is being filed in the middle district court of Georgia where one of the four federal judges who may be appointed to hear the case is Judge Leslie Abrams Gardner--you guessed it, Stacey Abrams's sister. Gardner was appointed by Obama, as was the chief federal district court judge for the Middle District of Georgia, Judge Marc Thomas Treadwell. The remaining two judges are Republican-appointed judges, one appointed by Dubya Bush, the other by President Trump. This could be a long slog before the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, also headquartered in Atlanta, decides this issue.

Trump-appointed judges obstruct Biden 'pen

Judges appointed by former President Trump have stymied President Biden's policies on multiple fronts in the early months of the new administration, taking what experts say is a less "deferential" approach to executive power as judges appointed by past presidents. "What you’re seeing is that ‘pen and phone’ initiatives are running into legal trouble right off the bat," Ilya Shapiro, the vice president and director of the libertarian Cato Institute's Robert A. Levy Center for Constitutional Studies, told Fox News. "Trump appointed a lot of judges — more than anyone in one term than Jimmy Carter, for whom Congress created 152 new judgeships to fill

Vice President Kamala Harris was the recipient of sharp criticism Friday following her border press conference in El Paso, Texas, in which she blamed the Trump administration for the migrant crisis taking place there. While answering questions from reporters, Harris proceeded to list various border policies implemented in El Paso by the Trump administration, claimed they had "disastrous effects," and praised the Biden administration for work she claimed alleviated the crisis. "First of all, what is happening here in El Paso really is, in many ways, highlights many of the facets on the issue of immigration. It is here in El Paso that the previous administration's child separation

Something strange is afoot in the party of Jefferson. With the Democrats still spinning after the collapse of their election bill — and progressives furious with the White House’s seeming lack of commitment to that effort — the president has already pivoted, announcing a plan to tackle the violent crime wave besetting American cities. And the Vice President? She’s on her way to the border, 91 days, two countries, and countless laughs after it was first assigned by the boss. Some might notice that cracking down on rampant crime and tackling a crisis at the border were not topics of discussion when now-President Joe Biden and now-Vice President Kamala

J.D. Vance is the man Republicans have been praying for since the day Donald Trump stormed to the party’s presidential nomination five years ago. He has a lot of the traits conservatives liked about Trump: Vance, too, is a political outsider with proven appeal to an audience beyond politics, thanks to his bestselling memoir Hillbilly Elegy. Like Trump, Vance offers himself as an avatar for the people who have been discarded by globalization and demonized by a left-wing media and education establishment. And he is as radical as Trump — maybe more so — in his willingness to reject the merely liberal side of American conservatism. Trump defied elite orthodoxy

It's a very basic concept of journalism: Cover the stories that impact your viewers and readers most, the stories they most care about. But for one very big story, there's been relative silence from our national media, just passing mentions. It is the skyrocketing violent crime that is paralyzing many major American cities while prompting record numbers of police officers either resigning or retiring. Here's a look around the country at what many cities are dealing with: New York City: Despite having the country's largest police force, the city’s murder rate is up 48 percent over 2019 (pre-pandemic), while shootings have increased by 107 percent in two years.

"It's a long tradition in Rhode Island." That was Rhode Island Senator Sheldon Whitehouse's response to a question from a local journalist about his membership of the Bailey's Beach Club, a private and all-white beach club in tony Newport. That a person of leadership in America belongs to such a club is outrageous. That a Democratic Senator who has spent quite a bit if time denouncing systemic racism would is doubly so. "We can and must do better to root out systemic racism in its many forms and meet America's full promise of justice for all," the Senator said in a press release last year. The hypocrisy is enraging.

In a nation of hundreds of millions of people, each with their own thoughts, beliefs, and ideas, there will be those with ugly thoughts committing ugly deeds. Racial prejudice will to a certain degree never be truly eradicated. And yet, we have done an excellent job as a country in substantially minimizing these attitudes socially, and even ensuring racial prejudices are eliminated at an institutional level within government. Although we are not perfect, in regard to race and opinions about race, we are living in the best of times; our nation is not recognizable as the place where segregation ruled throughout the South as recently as the 1960s.

President Biden repeatedly framed his campaign and his administration as defending “the rule of law” after what he and others portrayed as the lawless reign of President Trump. The image of Biden as restoring the Justice Department back into the good graces of the law and the courts is reinforced regularly in the media. What is not being as fully reported is that Biden actually has racked up a litany of notable court losses that may now exceed those of his predecessor in his first six months. Indeed, the Biden administration has been found to have violated the Constitution in a surprising array of cases in a surprisingly short period

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, on Saturday shared a celebratory message for Juneteenth, a new federal holiday, celebrating the emancipation of Black slaves after the Civil War. "Today is Juneteenth, a special celebration of the fact that our country strives each and every day to make good on its promise to protect the inalienable right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for all men and all women who are created equal," he tweeted. The tweet emphasizes the freedoms listed in the Declaration of Independence — the same freedoms Americans fought for during the Civil War — rather than the political differences the country is currently grappling with.

As a candidate, Joe Biden’s number one promise was to “unite” America. Yet in his first months as president, his number one priority has been to divide our country by race and gender at every turn. There is no clearer example than the Biden administration’s new effort aimed at indoctrinating America’s schoolchildren with some of the most toxic and anti-American theories ever conceived. It is vital for Americans to understand what this initiative would do, what drives it and, most importantly, how we can stop it. For decades, the America-blaming left has been relentlessly pushing a vision of America that casts our history, culture, traditions, and

Some 250 years after the Declaration of Independence declared that "all men are created equal," and almost 60 years after Martin Luther King dreamed that his children would "not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character," the federal government announced it wants to teach American children that they are not equal, and that skin color does matter. Under the misleading name of "anti-racism," the Department of Education has proposed to direct federal funds to the teaching of racial discrimination in America's elementary and secondary school systems—to encourage students to identify and to treat others differently according to race.

As the Marxist revolution oozes forward, I occasionally wonder what will happen to the useful idiots when the commies seize absolute power in this once great Republic. I believe that most AT readers are familiar with the term, but for those who need a brief refresher, a useful idiot, as defined by Wikipedia, "is a derogatory term for a person perceived as propagandizing for a cause without fully comprehending the cause's goals, and who is cynically used by the cause's leaders." In my opinion, this definition can be applied to a majority of the young, brainwashed radicals who have no idea about the true history of Marxism
