The 6^th Circuit Court of Appeals in Knight v. Metro. Gov’t of Nashville, No. 21-6179 (May 10, 2023) held that conditions imposed on every development — and not just ad hoc administratively-imposed conditions — must conform to the Nollan-Dolan-Koontz close nexus and rough proportionality standards.

The Sixth Circuit has added to the growing split in the lower courts about whether legislatively-imposed conditions on development which cover everyone are, as some courts characterize them, mere land use regulations

HOUSTON (AP) — Attorneys for the man accused of killing five of his neighbors after storming into their Texas home suggested on Thursday that not all has been revealed about what led up to the deadly shooting and that the suspect was someone who was generous and well -liked.

Francisco Oropeza, 38, made his initial court appearance Thursday following his arrest May 2 after a four-day manhunt.

Donald Trump has faced an incredible number of lawsuits in his life. In 2016 USA Today found that Trump and his businesses were involved in at least 3,500 legal actions in federal and state courts over the three decades before that.

Some of those legal troubles are, notably, going on as we speak, while he’s running for president.

All in all, Forbes found that there are at

The historic criminal case against former US President Donald Trump seems likely to further entrench the partisan divide in an already deeply polarized nation.

Ahead of his court appearance next Tuesday, voters have been sharing with the BBC their strongly felt reaction to the first prosecution of a former president.

Whatever their political affiliation, most of our voter panel agreed that the unprecedented case left the US in uncharted waters.

This is an excellent example of the politicization of the judiciary. It’s a huge mistake. Banana republic style vintage. It’s, in my opinion, totally undermining our

Attorney General Merrick Garland said Tuesday that he hopes the enhanced security he authorized last year for Supreme Court justices and their families will not be provided indefinitely by the US Marshals Service.

“This is a task we’d gladly turn over to the Supreme Court Police,” Garland said during a Senate Appropriations subcommittee hearing.
