The chief justice has demonstrated a consistent desire to dilute or destroy elements of the landmark Voting Rights Act of 1965, and in so doing has opened the floodgates to a torrent of voter suppression measures from Republican states that continues today. This time, though, Roberts reined himself in. In his Milligan opinion, the chief justice pledged himself to providing “a faithful application of our precedents and a fair reading of the record”. He upheld a lower court ruling that had objected to the electoral maps drawn up by Alabama’s Republican-dominated legislature. Lawmakers had awarded Black voters the majority in only one of seven congressional districts. Yet African Americans make up more than a quarter of Alabama’s voting-age population. In rebuffing the audaciou...

Thomas’s 2022 filing was highly anticipated after ProPublica reported on the justice’s financial dealings with his close friend and benefactor, Texas business executive Harlan Crow. Instead, Thomas will have up to 90 additional days to submit his filing, which could include updates related to his finances from past years. There were small signs Wednesday that the scrutiny of the court’s practices have had an impact. Justice Elena Kagan for the first time explained in her disclosure form that the rental income she has listed in previous years comes from a parking space she owns in D.C. The space is valued between $15,000 and $50,000, and Kagan collected between $2,501 and $5,000 in rent, according to the filing. Justice Sonia Sotomayor included several notes explaining, for instance, that she had extended a subsidized trip to Scotland — at her own expense — for vacation purposes, and that as part of her meetings with college students in Missouri and young people in Connecticut, the sponsors purchased copies of her memoir, which were distributed at the events. Three of the justices — Neil M. Gorsuch, Brett M. Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett — reported income from teaching, all of which fell under the limit of about $30,000 per year for outside income. In 2022, the justices made $274,200 for their work on the court, and the chief justice was paid $286,700. In 2023, their salary is $285,400 for justices and $298,500 for the chief. Experts have said the $133,363 real estate tra...

Live Politics latest: Johnson gets a new job - as he is branded 'most disgraced ex-PM in British history'; Sunak hasn't read partygate report yet Boris Johnson has secured a new job at the Daily Mail newspaper after quitting as an MP over the partygate report that found he has lied to MPs. Rishi Sunak is facing a potentially acrimonious vote on the report on Monday - Mr Johnson's 59th birthday. We've heard a bit more about Boris Johnson, his brand new Daily Mail column and ACOBA - the watchdog looking at jobs former ministers take to advise against conflicts of interest or other risks. Mr Johnson's new weekly articles were teased last night on the front page of the paper, and officially announced at 1pm today. ACOBA is clearly extremely unhappy that Mr Johnson only wrote to them 30 minutes before the job was announced. They said in a newly released statement: "The ministerial code states that ministers must ensure that no new appointments are announced, or taken up, before [ACOBA] has been able to provide its advice. "An application received 30 mins before an appointment is announced is a clear breach. "We have written to Mr Johnson for an explanation and will publish correspondence in due course, in line with our policy of transparency." Unlike the rules he broke by misleading the House of Commons, there is no real effective punishment to be meted out for transgressing ACOBA. Unsurprisingly, it has been branded a "toothless" watchdog by the likes of Angela Rayner, Labour'...
