SCOTUS: Yes, Litigate Election Rules Before the Election, by Thomas Gallatin 

By Thomas Gallatin, Patriot Post - Is it better for a candidate to challenge election laws before or after the election takes place? That was, in essence, the question in the case of Bost v. Illinois Board of Elections, on which the U.S. Supreme Court has handed down a decision... The case was brought by Republican Representative Michael Bost, who filed a lawsuit challenging Illinois’s mail-in ballot law. However, the justices weren’t really ruling on the merits of Bost’s case, but rather on whether a candidate has standing to challenge an election law prior to an election.

When a lawyer representing a “transgender” student declined to define what it means to be male or female, Alito asked: “How can a court determine whether there’s discrimination on the basis of sex, without knowing what sex means?”

Anti-ICE Activists’ Goal Isn’t Stopping Violence — It’s Ending All Immigration Enforcement, by Mark Hemingway

By Mark Hemingway, The Federalist - A simple, but deeply unfair and manipulative, narrative about ICE’s enforcement of immigration law congealed as soon as Trump took office: ICE enforcement amounts to egregious military-style raids in otherwise peaceful communities, and as such, ICE is responsible for any unfortunate violence that accompanies their enforcement activities...
