Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett wrote her first opinion for the majority on Thursday in U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service v. Sierra Club, but some argue that the dissenting opinion was a ‘snub’ to ACB.
In the 7-2 decision, Justices Samuel Alito, Barrett, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, John Roberts, Clarence Thomas, and Elena Kagan ruled that the Sierra Club could not obtain internal government documents.
As Law & Crime pointed out, the decision broke from norms in two regards.
Typically, new justices write their first majority opinion when there’s unanimous consent, which was not the case since Justices Stephen Breyer and Sonia Sotomayer dissented.
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
