Fox News: Montana AG asks Supreme Court to uphold law requiring parental consent for a minor's abortion
Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen is appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court after the Montana Supreme Court invalidated a 2013 law requiring parental consent for minors seeking abortions. The state court ruled that the law violated a minor's right to privacy.

CNSNews: Levin: Justices Barrett and Roberts ‘Were Played,’ Validating ‘Corrupt Process’ of Trump Case
Conservative commentator Mark Levin criticized two Republican-nominated Supreme Court justices, Amy Coney Barrett and Chief Justice John Roberts, for siding with liberal justices and denying a stay on President-Elect Donald Trump's sentencing. Levin argued that this decision sets a dangerous precedent, allowing political opponents to label candidates as felons without proper scrutiny from the Supreme Court.
Levin contended that the ruling reflects a corrupt judicial process and warned that it could enable future legal challenges against presidential candidates to persist through their terms. He believes Trump's conviction, linked to a controversial "hush money" case, will ultimately be reversed due to its flaws.

Forbes: The Big Question At The Heart Of The TikTok Case
The Supreme Court is deliberating on the legality of a law requiring TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, to sell the platform or face a ban in the U.S. This law aims to prevent potential manipulation of American discourse by the Chinese government through TikTok, raising First Amendment concerns.
ByteDance argues that the law infringes on free speech rights, while the D.C. Circuit Court contends that limiting foreign influence is necessary for a healthy speech ecosystem. If upheld, the law could lead to TikTok's disappearance in the U.S. unless ByteDance complies with the sale.

Fox News: CNN defamation trial: Major General testifies he would've hired Zachary Young before on-air segment, not after
In a defamation trial against CNN, Army Major General James V. Young testified that he would have hired Navy veteran Zachary Young before a controversial CNN report aired, but not afterward due to perceived risks to his reputation. The report suggested Zachary Young profited from evacuating Afghans during the U.S. withdrawal, damaging his professional standing.
Major Gen. Young stated that while he found Zachary's pricing for evacuation services reasonable, the CNN segment made him "too risky" to hire. Despite acknowledging no unethical behavior in Zachary's actions, he maintained that the report created a significant reputational risk. The trial continues with further testimonies expected.
