  Salem Chapel is one of the oldest Black churches in Ontario. Though it may not be widely known to most Americans or Canadians, its influence on both countries’ history is undeniable. The church, which is still in use as a religious institution, is considered a sacred site and tourist destination because of its importance for people who participated in the Underground Railroad and for their descendants.
The North Dakota case is so deeply flawed – at its core, the trial was really about crushing dissent – that I believe there is a good chance it will be reversed on appeal and ultimately backfire against the Energy Transfer pipeline company.

===== The king of dark money effectively controls the US supreme court now =====
[https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/jun/30/supreme-court-leonard-leo-dark-money by Joel Warner 1/7/23 The Guardian]
Once again, the US supreme court has issued rulings triggering national uproar. This time, the court has ruled that universities’ race-conscious admission policies are unconstitutional, that businesses can deny services to LGBTQ+ customers, and that Joe Biden can’t move forward with his student loan forgiveness plan. And just like the justices’ decision last year to end federal abortion protections and other troubling Scotus developments this term, the court’s new decisions are all examples of how dark money reigns supreme.

===== The Bruen Decision Is Not an "Originalist" Interpretation of the 2nd Amendment =====
[https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2023/8/31/2190763/-The-Bruen-Decision-Is-Not-an-Originalist-Interpretation-of-the-2nd-Amendment by Old Rotorhead 31/8/23 DAILY KOS]
Self-proclaimed “originalists” tend to use their alleged doctrine as a fig leaf for enacting their prejudices. In addition to the subject of reproductive autonomy, that’s especially in evidence, it seems, with regard to the Second Amendment.  The Supreme Court actually has a set of rules for legal interpretation which enshrines aversion of “originalism”:

After 40 years on the federal bench, Judge William G. Young recently experienced what he viewed as a career first, and it didn’t sit well with him.
