Foundation. Its not like to welcome you to the Heritage Foundation for this Panel Discussion and i will preserve the constitution service. The freedom of the press as all americans know is contrite in the First Amendment. The free press is a necessary component of selfgovernment and hallmark of a free society. That is not in question. In fact, its nonnegotiable. Free speech, however, is not the exclusive prerogative of the press. The First Amendment you will remember protects the free speech rights of all americans, not just those who so happen to have an ma in journalism. The press, in other words, is itself subject to free speech just like everyone else is. Journalists do not take well to criticism, and to say this as a recovering journalist myself. There is a tendency in the media to equate criticism of the press, however wellfounded, with an attack on freedom of the press itself. But i think you can be committed to free speech while attacking those who abuse it. Whats more, the fre
Next this morning in case 18525, Fort Bend County versus davis. Ms. Sinzdak. Mr. Chief justice, may it please the court, when title 7s exhaustion requirement is satisfied, the power to address an employment discrimination claim shifts from the executive to the judicial branch. The exhaustion requirement is therefore jurisdictional in the plaintiffs sense of that word, and that is confirmed in at least three ways. First, the text and structure of section 2000 e 5 demonstrates that the exhaustion requirement is jurisdictional, ensuring that courts do not reach the merits of a claim before it has been presented to the expert agency. But the expert agency, unlike the examples that you give of agencies that have add jude ca tory authority, the eeoc has no authority to adjudicate. Yes, you have to let the complaint stay there for 180 days, but they dont decide anything or even if they decide to dismiss your claim, that has no preclusive effect in the court. So its one thing to say when Congr
Peculiar position because not only are they warranted with a task of doing that, but they also have to rely on Police Officers for this type of investigation in order to investigate Police Officers, so i think it puts them in a very peculiar position, and then the other question i had was, was there any training on this m. O. U. With the Police Department or the d. A. s office or i know there was a section about training and stuff, but i mean, is the Police Department being trained on this m. O. U. And how the investigation should go forward . That has occurred already, and will continue to occur with joint training between the District Attorneys Office and the Police Department. That has already started. That would have been nice to let us know so we can go and observe and, you know, some of these questions could probably have been answered there, you know, and flushed out a little more. I certainly knew about that, i dont think that is a secret. Im not sure we all knew about it. Long
Pair of legal bombshells here in washington today that could have huge ramifications for the 2024 election.

Merrick garland announced this a little less than an hour ago, that david weiss, overseeing the investigation into hunter biden, requested Special Counsel on tuesday.

Thats been an issue,
