1 Supreme Court To Release Decisions Today, Possibly Including A Trump Ruling
A notice appeared on the Supreme Court’s website yesterday afternoon that means one of the major questions of the 2024 presidential election could be answered today. The notice said that rulings are expected from the court today, and one of those could be the decision on whether Colorado can kick former President Donald Trump off the primary ballot in that state. The decision would most likely also affect decisions in Maine and Illinois, where the decisions to allow his removal are on hold amid appeals. Today’s not scheduled as a ruling day, so the justices won’t be in the courtroom to announce any decisions as they usually would. Trump is set to appear on the Colorado ballot in tomorrow’s Super Tuesday primary in the state, with the Colorado Supreme Court ruling saying he was ineligible due to his alleged part in the Jan. 6th attack on the Capitol and the 14th Amendment of the Constitution put on hold until the US Supreme Court rules on the matter.
2 Sierra Nevada Blizzard Strands At Least 200 Cars On I-80
A blizzard warning is still in effect for most of California’s Sierra Nevada mountains, which could see a total of up to 12 feet of snowfall this week. So far, around seven feet have fallen in some spots. An estimated 200 to 300 vehicles were stuck from 5 pm Friday to 2:30 am Saturday on I-80 over Donner Summit due to the blizzard conditions, but no medical emergencies were reported and all vehicles were gotten out. It’s not just California that’s at risk, either, with winter alerts in effect in nine states, with “extremely heavy snow rates” of two to six inches per hour in spots, according to the National Weather Service. One of the most unique things was a rare winter storm tornado hit Madera, California on Friday with no injuries reported.
3 Three Passengers On Alaska Airlines Flight Where Door Plug Blew Off Suing The Airline And Boeing For $1-Billion
It was only a matter of time. Three passengers who were aboard the Alaska Airlines flight that had to make an emergency landing after a door plug blew off the plane shortly after takeoff have filed a lawsuit. Looking for both compensatory and punitive damages of a billion dollars, the filing targets both Alaska Airlines and Boeing, the maker of the plane. Boeing is already facing another class-action lawsuit brought by passengers on the flight that claims the incident “physically injured some passengers and emotionally traumatized most if not all on board.”
