A far-left Nevada Judge, Mary Kay Holthus, could not bring herself to violate the rule of law in order to proceed with a lawfare case targeting GOP alternate electors for prosecution. The judge dismissed the case because the alleged crime did not happen in her far-left-dominated county, but rather it occurred in a GOP stronghold county.
The prosecution appears to have wanted to ram through the case in a DNC friendly county knowing it would have a hard time getting Republicans to violate the Rule of Law. The statute of limitations has now expired, meaning the prosecutors cannot legally continue to pursue this case unless they want to openly defy America’s Rule of Law for the good of the insurrectionist party, the DNC.

A Nevada judge has dismissed the alternate electors’ case against allies of Donald Trump in Nevada over concerns with jurisdiction. Judge Mary Kay Holthus dismissed the charges against the six Nevada Republicans in the decision.
On Friday morning, Judge Mary Kay Holthus told prosecutors that she remained unconvinced that Clark County was the appropriate jurisdiction to hear the case. “You have literally, in my opinion, a crime that has occurred in another jurisdiction,” Holthus stated. “It’s so appropriately up north and so appropriately not here,” according to The Daily Indy.
The Supreme Court has ruled unanimously that the lawsuit filed by the NRA against Marie Vullo, the then-head of New York’s Department of Financial Services, can go forward as Vullo’s threat to go after the NRA over gun advocacy was a violation of the NRA’s First Amendment Rights.
Sonya Sotomayor wrote the unanimous decision, saying, of Vullo’s actions “What she could not do, however, was use her power as the head of the Department of Financial Services to ‘threaten enforcement actions’ against entities that the department regulated “to punish or suppress the NRA’s gun-promotion advocacy.”

The Supreme Court on Thursday reinstated a lawsuit by the National Rifle Association, alleging that a New York official violated the group’s First Amendment rights when she urged banks and insurance companies not to do business with it in the wake of the 2018 shooting at a Florida high school.
In a unanimous decision by Justice Sonia Sotomayor, the justices agreed that the NRA had made out a case that Maria Vullo, then the head of New York’s Department of Financial Services, had gone too far in her efforts to get companies and banks to cut ties with the NRA, crossing over the line from efforts to persuade the companies and banks – which would be permitted – to attempts to coerce them, which are not.
The Supreme Court also indicated, however, that when the case returned to the court of appeals, the lower court could consider whether Vullo is entitled to qualified immunity – which could prove to be a high bar for the NRA to surmount…
In a 20-page decision issued 10 weeks after the oral argument, the Supreme Court unanimously reinstated the NRA’s claim against Vullo.

… From RedState:
The judge disrupted [Taylor defense attorney Vinoo] Varghese’s opening statement multiple times as he tried to set the stage for Taylor’s defense. Even further, she admonished the defense to refrain from mentioning the Second Amendment during the trial. Varghese told RedState:
She told us, ‘Do not bring the Second Amendment into this courtroom. It doesn’t exist here. So you can’t argue Second Amendment. This is New York.’
Varghese said he had filed the appropriate paperwork to “preserve these arguments for appeal” but that the judge “rejected these arguments, and she went out of her way to limit me.”

A West Virginia judge granted a preliminary injunction allowing several middle school girls to compete after the school district banned them from competition after refusing to play against a biological male, according to 12 WBOY, a local media outlet.
Five middle school female athletes forfeited their positions at a track meet in April after they were informed that they would have to compete against a biological male, prompting the school district to allegedly bar the girls from future competitions, according to WDTV News. The students sued and Republican Attorney General Patrick Morrisey of West Virginia filed an amicus brief in support of the students.
A Harrison County judge ordered that the school’s decision be temporarily halted while the lawsuit plays out, according to 12 WBOY.
“I want to say to these students and their parents: I have your backs,” Morrisey said in a press release. “You saw unfairness and you expressed your disappointment and sacrificed your personal performances in a sport that you love; exercised your constitutionally protected freedom of speech and expression.”
BREAKING: The WV AG issued the a statement after a judge on Thursday heard a case involving the female middle school students who protested a recent appeals court ruling against West Virginia’s Save Women’s Sports Act.

Leaders of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have told faculty to discontinue the practice of requiring mandatory diversity, equity and inclusion statements in faculty hiring.
“On Saturday, an MIT spokesperson confirmed in an email to me that ‘requests for a statement on diversity will no longer be part of applications for any faculty positions at MIT,’ adding that the decision was made by embattled MIT President Sally Kornbluth ‘with the support of the Provost, Chancellor, and all six academic deans,’” John Sailer reported for Unherd.
“…In a statement provided to me via email, president Kornbluth notes: ‘We can build an inclusive environment in many ways, but compelled statements impinge on freedom of expression, and they don’t work.’”
He described it as a “watershed moment” because MIT is “the first elite private university to backtrack on the practice that has been roundly criticised as a political litmus test.”

Washington, D.C. – Shareholder activists with the National Center for Public Policy Research’s Free Enterprise Project (FEP) will present proposals at six shareholder meetings this week — American Express, Intel, General Electric, Progressive, Ford and Duke Energy.
On Tuesday, May 7, FEP will confront American Express, Intel and General Electric (GE) at each company’s virtual shareholder meeting.
At the American Express meeting, FEP will stand up for the rights and privacy of legal gun owners by presenting Proposal 7, which demands transparency about the company’s potential flagging of customer purchases at gun and ammunition stores.
In its supporting statement, FEP questions “whether the best choice is not to track these lawful and constitutionally protected purchases in any way, as well as the dangers associated with sharing any information gathered with government representatives whose use of the information can only be to surveil and harass those who exercise their lawful right to keep and bear Arms.”
