Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... By Mark Satta The U.S. Supreme Court begins its new term on Oct. 5, 2026. One of the cases that the justices have agreed to hear is a First Amendment religious liberty case, St. Mary Catholic Parish v. Roy. The case arose because Colorado’s new Universal Preschool Program only provides funding to preschools that agree to abide by a nondiscrimination policy.

The case arose because Colorado’s new Universal Preschool Program only provides funding to preschools that agree to abide by a nondiscrimination policy. That policy forbids, among other things, denying admission because of a student’s or parent’s sexual orientation or gender identity.

Why a presidential term limit got written into the Constitution - the story of the 22nd Amendment Original
No president other than Franklin D. Roosevelt has held office for more than two terms. Walter Leporati/Getty Images Only one person, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, has ever served more than two terms as president of the United States. This is for two reasons. First, prior to Roosevelt’s election to a third term in 1940 there was a longstanding American tradition that presidents not serve more than two terms.
Satta: Government is the real threat to free speech
Mark Satta View Comments Freedom of speech is fundamentally about protecting people from government. The First Amendment is designed to prevent the government, not private actors, from suppressing speech. This is because government’s power poses unique threats to free expression. In recent years, some have worried that the threats to free speech from the private sector are just as troublesome, if not more so, than the threats from government.

By Mark Satta Wayne State University (THE CONVERSATION) — George Orwell’s dystopian novels “Animal Farm” and “1984” have remained popular in the U.S. ever since their initial publication in the 1940s. What’s less well known is that in the years before the publication of “Animal Farm” and “1984,” Orwell’s writing often focused primarily on other themes including work, poverty, anti-imperialism and democratic socialism.
Kim Davis might be too extreme even for this Supreme Court, but marriage equality’s future remains uncertain
Infamous marriage-inequality enthusiast and former Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis made headlines again this month when she asked the Supreme Court to absolve her of the $360,000 in legal fees and damages she owes David Moore and David Ermold for refusing to issue them a marriage license in 2015. Oh, and she’d also like the Court to overturn Obergefell, the case affirming marriage equality’s constitutionality, while they’re at it.
Orwell’s opposition to totalitarianism was rooted in his support for freeing workers from poverty and exploitation
By Mark Satta, Associate Professor of Philosophy and Law, Wayne State University George Orwell, the author of two classic anti-totalitarian, pro-freedom novels from the 1940s, was a democratic socialist who opposed authoritarian leaders of the left and the right.

Orwell’s opposition to totalitarianism was rooted in his support for freeing workers from poverty and exploitation
Part of these books’ initial appeal came from their critiques of Soviet communism as the U.S. was entering the Cold War. Part of why the books seem to have remained popular are their anti-totalitarian and pro-freedom messages, which have been praised by people across the U.S. political spectrum. Orwell, who died of tuberculosis at age 46, is a writer famous for the ideas that preoccupied him in the final years of his life.

The Conversation - ΗΠΑ: Γιατί το όριο της προεδρικής θητείας προστατεύεται από το Σύνταγμα - Η ιστορία της 22ης τροπολογίας | Liberal.gr
Μόνο ένα άτομο, ο Φραγκλίνος Ρούσβελτ, έχει υπηρετήσει περισσότερες από δύο θητείες ως πρόεδρος των Ηνωμένων Πολιτειών. Αυτό συμβαίνει για δύο λόγους. Πριν από την εκλογή του Ρούσβελτ για τρίτη θητεία το 1940 υπήρχε μια μακρόχρονη αμερικανική παράδοση που ήθελε τους προέδρους να μην υπηρετούν περισσότερες από δύο θητείες. Η παράδοση αυτή καθιερώθηκε από τις αποφάσεις των πρώτων προέδρων, όπως ο Τζορτζ Ουάσινγκτον, ο Τόμας Τζέφερσον και ο Τζέιμς Μάντισον, να μην διεκδικήσουν τρίτη θητεία.

What’s behind Trump’s flurry of executive action: 4 essential reads on autocrats and authoritarianism Original
If you think a lot is happening in the federal government all at once on a lot of different issues, you’re right. At the beginning of a new presidential administration, there is often a flurry of changes – new Cabinet appointments and a few executive orders.
Supreme Court Ruling May Affect Gender-Affirming Care
A case recently argued in the U.S. Supreme Court will likely determine for the foreseeable future how difficult it will be for trans people to win constitutional challenges to laws that discriminate against them. The case, United States v. Skrmetti, concerns whether a Tennessee law banning gender-affirming medical care for trans youth violates the equal protection clause of the U.S. Constitution’s 14th Amendment. As a constitutional law scholar, I see United States v.

(THE CONVERSATION) Shortly after Donald Trump was inaugurated as president of the United States in January 2017, George Orwell’s 1949 novel “Nineteen Eighty-Four” shot to the top of Amazon’s bestseller list.
