The Supreme Court
Posted By: earlybird, 1/31/2026 5:41:58 PM
Since joining SCOTUS, Alito has been a staunch and reliable originalist, authoring some of the court’s most significant decisions of the 21st century. This includes the court’s 2022 Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization ruling, which overturned the horrifically decided Roe v. Wade (1973) and the imaginary “constitutional right” to abortion.Producing strong, consistent originalist interpretation and wisdom at the Supreme Court for two decades is no small feat. So, it only seemed fitting that The Federalist compile 10 of the justice’s best quotes from over the years to celebrate the occasion.

Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) just arrested nearly 700 illegal aliens in West Virginia with the help of local law enforcement, showing the stark contrast between state and local police supporting immigration enforcement and the Democrat-run catastrophe in Minnesota.
ICE announced Friday that it arrested 650 illegals, including those who allegedly engaged in child sex abuse, drug possession, endangering the welfare of children, and other offenses.Teams from ICE Philadelphia performed the operation, deploying to six cities in West Virginia to arrest “hundreds of illegal aliens who present dangers to

A federal judge has rejected a bid by state and local officials in Minnesota to end Operation Metro Surge, the Trump administration’s massive deployment of thousands of federal agents to aggressively enforce immigration laws.
In a ruling Saturday, U.S. District Court Judge Katherine Menendez found strong evidence that the ongoing federal operation ”has had, and will likely continue to have, profound and even heartbreaking, consequences on the State of Minnesota, the Twin Cities, and Minnesotans.”
Apparently, the Senate and House intelligence committees are very concerned about what Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard is doing. Almost every tweet from Senator Mark Warner in the past 48 hours has been about DNI Tulsi Gabbard.
What seems to worry them the most is that they don’t know exactly what she is doing. Triggered by Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) Vice-Chairman Mark Warner, the Democrats are now demanding Director Gabbard tell them her intentions and her itinerary so they can monitor her activity. Tulsi Gabbard continues to review internal government activity without consulting them. .”
Internal orders issued by China’s top military authority have met widespread resistance at the grassroots level following the purge of two of the country’s most senior generals, according to multiple sources close to the People’s Liberation Army who spoke to The Epoch Times.
After Central Military Commission (CMC) Vice Chairman Zhang Youxia and chief of the Joint Staff Department Liu Zhenli were placed under investigation on Jan. 24, at least two directives issued by the CMC General Office to theater commands and group armies were ignored or only passively acknowledged. Sources said the grassroots troops within the military are expressing dissatisfaction, with the command-and-control system of the People’s
Republican Sen. Thom Tillis said Friday he will oppose President Donald Trump’s Federal Reserve chair pick until a Justice Department probe into current Fed chief Jerome Powell “is fully and transparently resolved,” a stance that could severely complicate Kevin Warsh’s path to confirmation in the Senate.
The retiring North Carolina lawmaker’s vote is needed to advance Warsh’s nomination through the Senate Banking Committee, which oversees the Fed and considers its nominees.

Senator Mark Warner is the vice-chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI). (snip)
Senator Warner moved into position in 2017 to sit at the center of the legislative branch effort to support the targeting and removal of President Trump. Warner ran cover for the actions in 2016 and worked to construct the fraudulent narrative after President Trump took office. On March 17, 2017, shortly after 4:00pm, Senator Mark Warner entered the senate SCIF with SSCI Security Director James Wolfe to review the Title-1 search warrant used against U.S. citizen Carter Page.
President Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, on Thursday publicly acknowledged internal changes made to federal immigration operations in Minnesota following the shooting deaths of two U.S. citizens at the hands of federal officers, saying President Trump wants to “fix” immigration operations in the state.
“President Trump wants this fixed, and I’m going to fix it, with your help,” Homan said, speaking at a press conference in Minneapolis.
The event marked Homan’s first public remarks after Trump dispatched him to Minnesota on Monday, following the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti. The administration in the aftermath of the shooting has made changes to the operation in Minnesota,
In the wake of the Border Patrol shooting of anti-ICE agitator Alex Pretti, Democrats — and many Republicans — are utilizing his death to call for a “de-escalation” or a complete end of deportation operations while pushing, yet again, for so-called “comprehensive immigration reform.” But these politicians and pundits persistently ignore the reality that taking deportations at scale off the table undermines the entire immigration law enforcement framework President Donald Trump has so successfully implemented during his second term. Prominent among the anti-deportation voices are, of course, Democrats Tim Walz and Jacob Frey(snip) but their numbers also include GOP Rep. Mike Lawler (snip) along with Problem Solvers Caucus leaders
I’ve got to say, seeing Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard walking into the Fulton County Election Hub and Operation Center is akin to seeing Secretary of State Marco Rubio walking into a government office in Havana, Cuba. 😂According to media on the ground in Fulton County, Georgia, both FBI Deputy Director Andrew Bailey and DNI Tulsi Gabbard (pictured above) were present when the FBI executed their search warrant for election records. The criminal search warrant parameters have been released and the cited federal criminal code violation, 52 USC 20511, tells a story:
This is an interesting development. The FBI executed a federal search warrant today at the election offices of Fulton County, Georgia. Previously, the DOJ sued Fulton County to force them to turn over records from the 2020 election. Details of the search warrant parameters are not immediately available.

“A source familiar with the matter told CNN that the search is related to an effort by the Justice Department to seize election records and search of alleged voter fraud in the county, including Atlanta, which has long been a centerpiece of President Donald Trump’s baseless claims that the 2020 presidential
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents were spotted searching the Fulton County Election Hub and Operation Center, the county's central election facility, reportedly in connection with matters related to the 2020 presidential election.The action comes just one week after President Trump, speaking at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland, predicted that prosecutions were imminent over what he described as the "rigged" election.
Fox News Digital reports that "agents were seen entering" the Election Hub, something they describe as "a new facility that state officials opened in 2023 that was designed to streamline their election processes."

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) on Wednesday said the country needs a national conversation about immigrants lacking permanent legal status who “obey the law,” as public opinion sours on the Trump administration’s deportation sweeps. (snip) “On the other hand, people do not want to give them citizenship. So there should be some middle ground here on long-term goals,” he added.
Gingrich’s comments coincide with Fox News host Sean Hannity speaking out against workplace raids during immigration enforcement crackdowns nationwide.

16-hour shifts so my staff can stay home

I run a fast casual chicken restaurant in Richfield, Minnesota, a suburb just south of Minneapolis. With ICE agents in the area, I don't know when — or if — staff will be able to come to work. We all have pretty set schedules, and we're tight-knit. There are only six of us operating this place, seven days a week. And I have concerns: Are my employees going to get stopped on their way to work? Are they going to be hassled or detained? Are they going to come back? It's a day-by-day thing. Over the past couple of weeks, we've adjusted
Super Bowl LX is almost here, and the NFL is making fandom a whole lot kinder. In an exclusive shared with The Hollywood Reporter, NFL executives announced that YouTube sensation Dhar Mann, 41, has been named the league’s first-ever Chief Kindness Officer. Mann also serves as the league’s “Creator of the Week” leading up to the big game.

The United Nations is going broke and needs member nations to stump up cash. Lots of it. That is the plea from Secretary-General António Guterres who fears the globalist body is at risk of “imminent financial collapse” due to member states not paying their fees.
The former leader of the Portuguese Socialist Party said Friday the U.N. faces a financial crisis which was “deepening, threatening programme delivery” and money could run out as soon as July leaving the unaccountable globalist cabal destitute.
Such is the financial drama unfolding at U.N. headquarters in Geneva, signs warning of the situation have reportedly been put up everywhere.

A Tennessee family was allegedly threatened with fines by their homeowners’ association to remove the generator that was heating their house, as the neighborhood was plunged into darkness during below-freezing temperatures.
Talia Caravello said she was told that her generator didn’t comply with the aesthetic code of her townhouse in the Wedgewood-Houston neighborhood of Nashville when she lost electricity during a brutal ice storm on Sunday, according to WSMV.
Caravello purchased a $1,500 generator, extension cords and space heaters to keep her family warm as indoor temperatures dropped to 30 degrees following the storm that left four people dead.
California drivers and Republican legislators are furious over a Democrat-led proposal that could see motorists taxed for each mile they drive.
With the state staring down a budget deficit in the billions and more Californians switching to electric vehicles, Democratic lawmakers are searching for new ways to shore up declining gas tax revenue.
Californians pay the second-highest gas price in the nation behind only Hawaii. In January, the average price was $4.23 per gallon, according to the American Automobile Association. On Thursday, state legislators advanced Democrat Lori Wilson’s bill, AB 1421, which would direct the California Transportation Commission and the state Transportation Agency to continue studying options for a mileage-based tax,
California’s 66th Assembly District (AD-66).
AD-66 is home to Chevron’s El Segundo refinery and PBF Energy’s Torrance refinery. And until the end of last year, it was also home to Phillips 66’s Los Angeles refinery, which has now stopped producing transportation fuel entirely. Three major refineries in one Assembly district. One is already offline. Two remain, operating under growing regulatory and economic pressure.
That did not happen by chance.
Over the last four decades, California has steadily reduced its in-state refining footprint through a mix of regulatory pressure, capital flight, and policy uncertainty.
Disgraced Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz claimed this week that he would “never again” run for office but did not share if he had ruled out stepping into Sen. Amy Klobuchar’s (D-MN) seat should she win the governor’s race and appoint him to replace her.In the weeks before Klobuchar announced her gubernatorial bid on Thursday, Townhall’s Dustin Grage reported that sources who helped predict Walz’s rise to becoming former Vice President Kamala Harris’s 2024 running mate indicated that “the plan is to clear the way for Amy Klobuchar, so she can appoint him to the U.S. Senate.”
Few things better exemplify the inability of the left to tolerate contrary viewpoints than the recent struggle session framed as an "Internal Town Hall" when CNN CEO Mark Thompson was confronted by leftist staffers who claimed they were offended by the existence on their network of conservative commentator Scott Jennings.
It seems they agreed with recent NewsNight guest Cameron Kasky, who arrogantly declared to Jennings that he was somehow not permitted to use the term "illegal alien" despite the fact it is a legal term written into immigration law. The left-leaning Daily Beast went into further detail about the CNN town hall/struggle session/confrontation on Friday
A federal judge on Friday struck down key portions of President Donald Trump’s executive order aimed at tightening citizenship verification for voter registration and absentee ballot applications, ruling the White House overstepped its constitutional authority.U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly said the Constitution gives states and Congress, not the president, the power to set rules for federal elections. Kollar-Kotelly blocked provisions in the executive order that would have required documentary proof of American citizenship on federal voter registration and absentee ballot forms.
