What the Supreme Court has been up to in 2019

I don't normally post links to YouTube (other than for songs or short snippets) but this guy gives some really easy to understand explanations and only took 20 minutes to do so.

He listed the following SCOTUS rulings in 2019:
  • Allowing "profane" trademarks.
  • Extending the ban on racist jury selections.
  • Preventing citizenship questions from being asked in a census.
  • Preventing federal judges from dealing with gerrymandering issues.
  • Affirming the "separate sovereigns" doctrine which allows a person to be charged twice for the same crime: once by the state and again in a federal jurisdiction. The rationale is that the double jeopardy clause bars successive prosecutions for the same offense; not for the same conduct (tricky, tricky). This also means that anybody pardoned by Donald Trump could still be tried in a state court for the same "conduct".
  • Allowing police to take blood samples from an unconscious person.
  • Allowing the Bladenburg peace cross to remain.
