A few years back, an interview with a former Supreme Court justice might not have seemed like a great get for a late-night show, but my how the times-they-have-a-changed.
The Late Show With Stephen Colbert just announced that former Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer will sit down for an interview with Colbert next Monday.
With all eyes on the court as it’s set to consider former President Trump’s argument that presidents should be protected from federal prosecution with absolute immunity, Breyer is in a unique position to lend insight.
Bryer served on the court alongside five of its current justices until his retirement in 2022. His replacement, Ketanji Brown Jackson, was one of his former clerks.
It won’t be Bryer’s first time on The Late Show. He visited with Colbert in 2015 while he was still on the bench.
The 85 year-old Bryer is emerging as an outspoken critic of the current court.

When Chris Wallace’s talk show returns today on HBO Max, there won’t be many changes from its previous incarnation: Sitting on a spartan set with a black backdrop, he interviews celebrities, politicians, authors and other boldfaced names. He even sings, a bit, with Shania Twain.
The biggest change is that it is not on CNN+. Back in March, Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace? was one of the ill-fated subscription streaming service’s signature shows, only to disappear when the venture was shut down by CNN’s new corporate parent Warner Bros. Discovery.

Update: Ketanji Brown Jackson was sworn in as a Supreme Court justice on June 30, making history as the first Black woman to take a seat on the country's highest court. The 51-year-old, a former public defender and federal appeals court judge, is the sixth female and third Black justice. She replaced retiring fellow liberal Justice Stephen Breyer, 83, her friend and mentor. Jackson assumed her post six days after the court, which has a 6-3 conservative majority, overturned Roe v. Wade, the 1973 landmark ruling that legalized abortion in the United States. "With a full heart, I accept the solemn responsibility of supporting and defending the Constitution of the...

Sworn in by her immediate successor, retiring Justice Stephen Breyer, now Justice Brown’s move into the conservative dominated Scotus comes almost three months since her conformation by the Senate back in April. “On behalf of all the members of the court, I’m pleased to welcome Justice Jackson to the court and to our common calling,” said Chief Justice John Roberts after the swearing in was completed – as you can see below:

Ketanji Brown Jackson has been sworn in to the Supreme Court, shattering a glass ceiling as the first Black woman on the nation’s highest court.
The 51-year-old Jackson is the court’s 116th justice and she took the place Thursday of the justice she once worked for. Justice Stephen Breyer’s retirement took effect at noon.
Moments later, joined by her family, Jackson recited the two oaths required of Supreme Court justices, one administered by Breyer and the other by Chief Justice John Roberts.
Jackson, a federal judge since 2013, is the first Black woman to serve as a justice. She joins three women, Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Amy Coney Barrett — the first time four women will serve together on the nine-member court.

The Supreme Court ruled on Thursday that the Biden administration properly ended a Trump-era policy forcing some U.S. asylum-seekers to wait in Mexico.
The justices’ 5-4 decision for the administration came in a case about the “Remain in Mexico” policy under President Donald Trump. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the decision and was joined by fellow conservative Justice Brett Kavanaugh as well as the court’s three liberal justices — Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan.
President Joe Biden suspended the program on his first day in office in January 2021. But lower courts ordered it reinstated in response to a lawsuit from Republican-led Texas and Missouri. The current administration has sent far fewer people back to Mexico than did the Trump administration.

Updated, June 24 at 12 p.m. Et: The Supreme Court ruled to overturn the 1973 landmark decision Roe v. Wade on June 24.
CNN reported that the opinion is the “most consequential Supreme Court decision in decades and will transform the landscape of women’s reproductive health in America.” Abortion right will be determined by states going forward, with 21 states already having laws or constitutional amendments in place to ban the right to terminate a pregnancy. An additional four states are expected to ban abortions as soon as possible without federal protections in place.
“Roe was egregiously wrong from the start,” Justice Samuel Alito wrote in his majority opinion, as previously leaked last month. “Its reasoning was exceptionally weak, and the decision has had damaging consequences. And far from bringing about a national settlement of the abortion issue, Roe and Casey have enflamed debate and deepened division.”

The Supreme Court has ended constitutional protections for abortion that had been in place nearly 50 years in a decision by its conservative majority to overturn Roe v. Wade. Friday’s outcome is expected to lead to abortion bans in roughly half the states.
The decision, unthinkable just a few years ago, was the culmination of decades of efforts by abortion opponents, made possible by an emboldened right side of the court that has been fortified by three appointees of former President Donald Trump.
The ruling came more than a month after the stunning leak of a draft opinion by Justice Samuel Alito indicating the court was prepared to take this momentous step.
It puts the court at odds with a majority of Americans who favored preserving Roe, according to opinion polls.

Weeks after a leaked Supreme Court draft opinion threatened to roll back Roe v. Wade, a final decision Friday morning did just that, with a majority of justices casting votes to return authority over abortion rights to individual states.
The ruling reverses 50 years of precedent from the landmark 1973 case that gave women in the U.S. the right under federal law to terminate a pregnancy, and a subsequent 1992 decision — Planned Parenthood v. Casey — that largely maintained the right.
The case, from Mississippi, is called Dobbs V Jackson Women’s Health Organization. Read the court’s decision here.
“The Court finds that the right to abortion is not deeply rooted in the Nation’s history and tradition,” says today’s opinion, in language very similar to the leaked draft of earlier this year.
“The Constitution does not confer a right to abortion; Roe and Casey are overruled; and the authority to...

The United States Supreme Court has ruled that California Governor Gavin Newsom’s orders banning indoor church services may violate the Constitution’s protections on religion. The order effectively lifts the state ban on indoor religious gatherings.
In a 6-3 decision, the Justices granted an appeal late Friday evening from a south San Diego church that challenged the restrictions. The ruling set aside decisions by federal judges in San Diego and San Bernardino and the US 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco. All of those courts upheld the state’s orders.
“While granting the rights to gather in worship, the Supreme Court said limiting attendance to 25% of the building’s capacity is okay, and further restrictions on singing and chanting – a sticking point with the San Diego church – could also be curtailed.

The Supreme Court on Wednesday ruled in favor of TV broadcasters against Aereo. In a 6-3 decision, the high court, led by Justice Stephen Breyer determined that Aereo publicly performs copyrighted work and has reversed the 2nd Circuit holding. The case has now been remanded, where the broadcasters look primed to score an injunction that will shut down the service. According to Breyer's opinion, the "behind-the-scenes technological differences do not distinguish Aereo's system from cable systems, which do publicly perform." A dissenting opinion came from Justice Antonin Scalia, with Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito joining. Read

Washington (AP) — The Supreme Court ruled Monday that a copyright lawsuit over the 1980 Oscar-winning movie "Raging Bull" can go forward, a decision that could open Hollywood studios to more claims from people seeking a share of profits from classic films, TV shows and other creative works. In a 6-3 decision, the justices said that Paula Petrella, daughter of the late screenwriter Frank Petrella, did not wait too long to file her lawsuit against Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer claiming an interest in the film. Petrella's father collaborated with legendary boxer Jake Lamotta on a book and two screenplays, which inspired the movie directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Robert DeNiro. The elder Petrella died in 1981 and the copyrights passed to his daughter. She sued MGM in 2009 seeking royalties from continuing commercial use of the film. But a federal judge said she waited too long because she had been aware of the potential to file...

Hollywood and the video game industry received scant attention Wednesday when President Barack Obama unveiled sweeping proposals for curbing gun violence in the wake of the Newtown, Conn., school shooting.
The White House pressed most forcefully for a reluctant Congress to pass universal background checks and bans on military-style assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines like the ones used in the Sandy Hook Elementary massacre.
No connection was suggested between bloody entertainment fictions and real-life violence. Instead, the White House is calling on research on the effect of media and video games on gun violence.

Spartacus' Peter Mensah is joining True Blood as Kibwe, a Chancellor for The Authority who works towards mainstreaming. Hopefully he doesn't spend all his time in suits in front of cameras.
On February 19th, Lance Bass and George Kotsiopoulos are hosting Hollywood Rush, to benefit the Dragon Fund of the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center, which funds youth programs with a focus on crystal meth dependence. Writing teams (like Chad Hodge) begin the day before the show and have 12 hours to produce six 10-minute plays, which are handed off to directors (like Peter Paige) and actors (Barrett Foa and Yeardly Smith) hours before going live in front of a packed house. Our own Louis Virtel is going to be covering the red carpet for AfterElton.com

Washington -- "There's a bare buttock there, and there's a bare buttock here," said Seth Waxman, pointing up to the historical and mythical figures that line the friezes along the four high walls of the nation's highest courtroom.
Waxman, the former solicitor general who was representing ABC, argued Tuesday that the Supreme Court's marble-cut figures looked just like a series of statues televised during the 2008 Olympics' opening ceremonies, which some viewers complained violated Federal Communications Commission regulations against broadcast indecency.
With his fittingly visual stunt, Waxman was attempting to illustrate the unconstitutional sweep of the federal government's content restrictions on over-the-air television networks. But the justices, though entertained, appeared unconvinced.
The Supreme Court first stamped its approval on the FCC's indecency regulations in 1978, when it upheld an agency action against a radio station's mid-afternoon broadcast of comedian George Carlin's "Seven Dirty Words" routine. The Court reasoned that broadcast media's...

Oh, my. Perhaps it's best not to know whether or not our Supreme Court justices are aware of--or actively engaged in--the use of social media, including, of course, "the Twitter." Judging exclusively on a discussion captured on tape by C-span, it's a topic best left off the table, much in the same way you wouldn't ask your grandmother for her impressions of the virtues of running a mobile meth lab a la Breaking Bad. "I actually have a tweeting thing," begins Justice Stephen Breyer in the hearing on the Supreme Court's budget (that got terribly off track). "I was very interested in this Iranian revolution, remember when they just had this uprising...I sat there fascinated, because you actually could look through the tweeting and you could see what was going on." "The only way you could do it was to go through the tweet, or the tweeter," he explained.

I wasn't able to travel to Washington D.C for the opening arguments in Schwarzengger v. Ema, but Stephen Totilo was. Kotaku's Deputy Editor has filed a report from the proceedings, where the nine justices of Scotus questioned lawyers on both sides about the kinds of restrictions and protections they would have applied to video games.
[California Attorney General Zackery] Morazzini's opening statement was almost immediately interrupted by Justice Antonin Scalia who pointed out that Grimm's fairy tales are very violent as well.
"So are you going to ban them too?" Scalia asked of the attorney general.
Scalia, one of the court's most conservative justices and most vocal in the questioning of the state today, repeatedly and often with humor questioned Morazznii about the California law and its effects on the first amendment.
"You are asking us to create a whole new prohibition... what's next after violence? Drinking? Movies that show drinking? Smoking?," asked Scalia in the hearing.

Today the Supreme Court ruled five to four that “suspects must explicitly tell police they want to be silent to invoke Miranda protections during criminal interrogations,” according to the Associated Press. In other words, you do have the right to remain silent and to a lawyer, but only if you both already know that’s the case and remember to announce your silence aloud. If a suspect fails to invoke his rights—or fails to do so “explicitly,” whatever that means—his statements are admissible as evidence in court. Supreme Court justice Sonia Sotomayor disagreed with the ruling, noting in her dissent, “Criminal suspects must now unambiguously invoke their right to remain silent—which counterintuitively, requires them to speak.” (This is exactly what the LSATs are like, by the way.) Justices John Paul Stevens, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and Stephen G. Breyer also aligned themselves with Sotomayor.
