Justiz-Krimi um ein neues Einwanderungsgesetz für den US-Bundesstaat Texas: Wenige Stunden nachdem der Oberste Gerichtshof der USA dem umstrittenen Gesetz grünes Licht gegeben hatte, ist es von einem Berufungsgericht vorerst wieder auf Eis gelegt worden. Dies berichteten US-Medien. Das Gesetz soll texanischen Behörden weitreichende Befugnisse an der Grenze zu Mexiko geben, die sonst Bundesbehörden vorbehalten sind. Irreguläre Migration in die USA soll damit auf Ebene des Bundesstaats kriminalisiert werden. Kritikern zufolge verstößt das Gesetz gegen die Menschenrechte. Auch das Justizministeri...

In a busy term that could set standards for free speech in the digital age, the US Supreme Court on Monday is taking up a dispute between Republican-led states and the Biden administration over how far the federal government can go to combat controversial social media posts on topics including COVID-19 and election security. The justices are hearing arguments in a lawsuit filed by Louisiana, Missouri and other parties accusing officials in the Democratic administration of leaning on social media platforms to unconstitutionally squelch conservative points of view. Lower courts have sided with t...

In late 2023, Ukraine finally re-launched the process of vetting judges as part of a long anticipated judicial reform – a key condition for Ukraine's accession to the European Union. Four months later, the results are mixed. On the one hand, the High Qualification Commission, a top judicial body, has approved firing almost half of the judges that the Public Integrity Council, the judiciary's civil society watchdog, vetoed. Yet, the other half, deemed unethical by the Public Integrity Council, remains. Ukraine's most odious judges – Pavlo Vovk and Vsevolod Kniaziev – still keep their jobs. Both...

Der frühere US-Präsident Donald Trump hat einen wichtigen Teilerfolg eingefahren bei dem Bemühen, die anstehenden Gerichtsverfahren gegen ihn hinauszuzögern. Das Oberste Gericht der USA nahm Trumps Berufung in der Frage nach Immunität vor Strafverfolgung an. Es geht darum, ob der Republikaner für bestimmte Handlungen während seiner Amtszeit als Präsident überhaupt belangt werden kann oder nicht. Geplant sei dazu nun eine Anhörung Ende April, teilte der Supreme Court mit. Damit ist offen, ob und wann der politisch bedeutsame Prozess gegen den Ex-Präsidenten und aktuellen Präsidentschaftsbewerbe...

Eine Woche vor der geplanten Hinrichtung eines Mannes im US-Bundesstaat Alabama mit einer neuen Methode haben seine Anwälte den Obersten Gerichtshof der USA darum gebeten, zu intervenieren. Das geht aus Dokumenten hervor, die der Supreme Court veröffentlichte. Darin argumentieren die Anwälte, dass zu viele Fragen offen seien, um den Verurteilten zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt zu exekutieren. Ob sich der Supreme Court der Sache annimmt, ist völlig unklar. Menschenrechtsexperten warnenKenneth Eugene Smith, der wegen eines Auftragsmordes 1988 zum Tode verurteilt wurde, soll am 25.

Washington (AFP) - The US Supreme Court unveiled an ethics code on Monday following a series of scandals over lavish gifts and luxury vacations received by some of its justices. The nine members of the nation's highest court are the only federal judges not explicitly subject to ethical oversight, and pressure has been mounting from Democrats in the Senate for them to adopt a code of conduct. In a statement, the Supreme Court said the absence of a formal code had led to a "misunderstanding that the Justices of this Court, unlike all other jurists in this country, regard themselves as unrestrict...
