âď¸ Why Did a State Supreme Court Justice Put a Fake SCOTUS Quote in a Major Dissent?
The Wisconsin Supreme Court is weighing challenges to a Wisconsin redistricting map and related legislative tactics. âJustice Annette Kingsland Ziegler, who suggested that the imposition of a more balanced map would violate the U.S. Constitution. To make that point, Ziegler quoted a recent Supreme Court decision, Moore v. Harper, for the proposition that state courtsâ role in congressional redistricting is âexceedingly limited.â There is just one problem: Moore said no such thing. That quotation appears nowhere in the ruling.

đ Times Analysis Finds Errors in Trumpâs Supreme Court Filing That Calls for National Guard in Chicago
An attempt by the administration to broaden the domestic use of the National Guard â including involvement in law enforcement and political enforcement actions â has run head-on into legal pushback. âThe Trump administration has claimed the police were slow to protect federal agents on Oct. 4, but videos and audio show that their rationale conflates hours of events involving a shooting, a protest, a car crash and a police radio call.â A federal judge has flagged serious constitutional concerns, ruling against immediate expansion while raising doubts about separation between civilian and military power. Critics warn that granting broad Guard deployment signals a dangerous shift toward militarized governance at home. â The New York Times
