Legal Analysis of Birthright Citizenship Case - The Supreme Court has agreed to hear the birthright citizenship case on its merits [1] - The case involves challenges to the Trump administration's attempt to eradicate birthright citizenship [4] - The administration argues that the Wong Kim Ark case only extends citizenship to children of parents with permanent domicile in the US [6] - The administration's interpretation focuses on the word "domicile" used extensively in the Wong Kim Ark case [7] Leticia James Case and Grand Jury Dynamics - A federal grand jury has denied the second attempt to indict Leticia James [7] - The Justice Department could attempt to indict her again, with each charge carrying a 10-year statute of limitations [8][10] - "No bill" decisions by grand juries are statistically rare, occurring in the "one to 10" number range annually out of over 150,000 cases [12] - Federal prosecutors rarely experience a "no true bill" [12]

Speak on it, Lizy.>> This is a high-profile case that's being closely watched by the public, by the president. It is a disaster to have to send an inexperienced lawyer like her into the grand jury by herself. But they had no choice because literally not one single other lawyer wanted to or was willing to take on this case.Peopl ...

Good to be with you. I'm Katie Tur. The criminal charges brought against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Leticia James have been dismissed.A federal judge found that Lindseay Halligan was unlawfully appointed to the role of interim US attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia. And because Haligan alone presented the case to the grand jury and alone signed the indictments, the indictments are now null and void. The Justice Department will likely appeal the ruling, but it is ...
