The recent Portuguese elections resulted in a profound change in the political system. The extreme right party gained second place in terms of parliamentary mandates, surpassing the center left party and may present itself as an alternative to power, in line to govern after the next election

1/🧵 Judges across ideological lines are ruling against Trump at strikingly similar rates (84% liberal, 86% centrist, 82% conservative). This isn't partisan opposition to Trump—it's the judiciary functioning as intended by cutting across partisan lines to uphold the Constitution.

Title: Both Liberal and Conservative Judges Rule Against Trump Description: A scatter plot showing the rulings of judges against or in favor of Trump, categorized by ideology using the DIME score. The x-axis represents Judge Ideology (DIME Score), ranging from liberal (-1) to conservative (1), and the y-axis represents the case outcome (against or for Trump). • Blue dots represent liberal judges, purple dots represent moderate judges, and red dots represent conservative judges. • Some judges are labeled, including Rudolph Contreras, Lauren King, John Coughenour, and James Emanuel Boasberg on the liberal to moderate side, and Carl Nichols, Richard J. Leon, and Joseph N. Laplante on the conservative side. • A note mentions that Boasberg, though slightly right-leaning, was initially appointed by George W. Bush. • The visualization suggests that judges from both ideological backgrounds ruled against Trump.

No nosso sistema constitucional, a diferença entre uma moção de censura e uma moção de confiança é que a primeira para ser aprovada (melhor dizendo, para levar à demissão do governo) precisa de ser aprovada por maioria absoluta. A de confiança é aprovada por maioria simples.

"If there’s one thing I’d hoped people had learned going into the next four years of Donald Trump as president, it’s that spending lots of time online posting about what people in power are saying and doing is not going to accomplish anything. If anything, it’s exactly what they want."

In the year that the European Convention of Human Rights turns 70, the Council of Europe has updated and expanded its dedicated website on how the ECHR has impacted law, policy and practice across Europe. It is a very interesting tool not only for students, but also for the greater public.

The Supreme Court will consider what the First Amendment, ratified in 1791, has to say about TikTok and online pornography next month. Applying a provision drafted in the age of powdered wigs and quill pens to 21st-century technologies has sometimes proved challenging for the justices.

What Would the Founders Have Thought About TikTok and Online Porn?

The Supreme Court will hear arguments next month in First Amendment challenges to laws banning the app and shielding minors from sexual materials on the internet.
