  Democratic-backed Milwaukee County Circuit   Judge Janet Protasiewicz   won the crucial seat, defeating Republican-backed former Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Dan Kelly.  The court will now be controlled 4-3 by left-leaning justices for at least the next two years. During that time, the court is expected to decide on a pending lawsuit challenging the state’s 1849 law  banning abortion. Protasiewicz, 60, described herself as feeling "delighted and thrilled" after voters elected her in the consequential contest that gave the court's liberal members a majority for the first time in 15 years.

"I want to create unique one-of-a-kind expression and artwork and I want to design websites – wedding websites – specifically that are consistent with my faith," Smith told Fox News. "But the state of Colorado is compelling and controlling my speech, chilling it and forcing me to communicate a message through my custom unique ar...

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy had no issue with liberal celebrities boycotting  the 4th of July  over the Supreme Court's ruling on abortion. While on CNN's "New Day" Tuesday morning, the Democrat was asked to comment on Hollywood stars like Katy Perry, Kim Kardashian and Jessica Chastain sharing their disgust over celebrating America's Independence Day in light of the high court overturning Roe v. Wade. "Governor, I know you see that celebrity women and many non-celebrity women who found that the idea of celebrating independence was actually insulting after the Supreme Court decision. What do you think about that?"  the struggling morning show's  co-host Brianna Keilar asked Murphy. "I mean, who could blame them?" he responded. Murphy went on to praise America as still "the greatest nation on Earth," but the Democrat tempered that patriotic statement by blasting the Supreme Court as a "right-wing" institution that had ...
