The Supreme Court has run out of excuses. Earlier this month, after ProPublica revealed that Justice Clarence Thomas frequently takes lavish vacations funded by billionaire Republican donor Harlan Crow, Thomas attempted to defend himself by claiming that this sort of “personal hospitality from close personal friends” is fine because Crow “did not have business before the court.”As it turns out, that’s not true. As Bloomberg reports, the Supreme Court — including Justice Thomas — briefly considered a $25 million copyright dispute involving a company that Crow was a partial owner of in 2005. At that point, Crow had already given several gifts to Thomas, including a $19,000 Bible that once belonged to Frederick Douglass.

Black Lives Matter (BLM), an international social movement, formed in the United States in 2013, is dedicated to fighting racism and anti-Black violence, especially in the form of police brutality. The name Black Lives Matter signals condemnation of the unjust killings of Black people by police (Black people are far more likely to be killed by police in the United States than white people) and the demand that society value the lives and humanity of Black people as much as it values the lives and humanity of white people. Have they been effective, I would say no. What has changed, is not much.

The seismic shift in how important black dollars have become is credited to social media and the vocal and voluminous online entity known as Black Twitter. More African-American consumers are demanding products and marketing that embrace diversity without pandering and that are culturally relevant. The report reveals that black spending power has reached $1.2 trillion. In some markets, black consumers have a considerable spending footprint. Although African Americans make up only 14% of the U.S. population, they spend $573 million on personal hygiene items; $810 million on bottled water; and $151 million in the luxury non-essential products market (which includes items such as watches and fragrances). We support the economy because our rights are not equal to our spending power.

Why Trump’s $40 million violation is a BIG deal,]. Former President Donald Trump was flagged by the watchdog overseeing the Trump Organization's finances for transferring $40 million in cash that was not previously disclosed to the court. Former U.S. District Court Judge Barbara Jones, who was assigned to oversee the financial statements of Trump's company last fall as part of New York Attorney General Letitia James' $250 million lawsuit against the former president, wrote in a letter to New York Judge Arthur Engoron on Wednesday that three separate transactions were identified by the court between January and October that had not been properly disclosed.

Former President Donald Trump often complains that he is being treated unfairly by the prosecutors charging him with crimes. Trump is now the subject of three federal and state criminal cases – and he is indeed being treated, unlike other criminal defendants. The prosecutors are treating Trump a lot better than the average criminal defendant. We are law scholars who have defended clients in criminal and civil cases, and we wish that our clients received the advantages that prosecutors are giving Trump.

The federal judge presiding over Donald Trump’s election subversion case in Washington, DC, has refused to dismiss the charges against the former president, saying he does not enjoy absolute immunity for what he said and did after the 2020 election.“The court cannot conclude that our Constitution cloaks former Presidents with absolute immunity for any federal crimes they committed while in office,” US District Judge Tanya Chutkan wrote.
