The Supreme Court's term came to an end last week with decisions nullifying President Biden's student debt relief plan and the affirmative action in college admission programs, outcomes that reaffirmed the high court's conservative bent. The court issued several unexpected outcomes this term that suggested it may be more nuanced than meets the eye, but Supreme Court watchers say those outcomes are less indicative of a moderating court than one aware of its falling public standing. |

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis's (R) presidential campaign is facing pushback after his team shared a video attacking former President Trump over his past comments in support of the LGBTQ community. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg (D), the first openly gay man to be confirmed as Cabinet secretary, responded to the video on CNN Sunday by asking who DeSantis was trying to "make better off" with the video. Caitlyn Jenner, the former Olympic decathlete who came out as transgender in 2015, said the video marked "a new low" for the campaign. Even 2024 Republican presidential contenders Chris Christie and Will Hurd said the video was divisive. |

OPINION | Is the Supreme Court's ruling on Students For Fair Admissions v. Harvard a good decision? Well, yes and no. It's a great decision with regard to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) and a bad decision with regard to Harvard. How can that be? The answer is that the court was applying different legal provisions to the two schools. It was applying the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment to UNC and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to Harvard. The equal protection clause applies to government action. The Civil Rights Act applies to the actions of private parties. |
OPINION | It has been nearly 80 years since Allied soldiers liberated European concentration camps, revealing the unimaginable atrocities we know as the Holocaust. As this generation of Holocaust survivors wanes, now down to 240,000, what has been accomplished and why do we continue to negotiate with Germany? In 1951, Germany's first post-war chancellor, Konrad Adenauer, courageously did what no nation defeated in war had ever done: accepted responsibility for the wrongs committed by the Nazi regime — wrongs he called "unspeakable crimes against Jews." Equally unique, 23 Jewish organizations from around the world came together a year later and formed the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany (Claims Conference), which was given the responsibility to negotiate with Germany on behalf of Holocaust survivors. |
