MIAMI (AP) — A federal appeals court judge who could have become the Supreme Court's first Cuban-American justice has withdrawn his name from consideration, a Democratic senator said Wednesday.
Judge Adalberto Jordan told U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson of Florida that he is not interested in being a candidate for the court opening. Nelson spokesman Ryan Brown confirmed the conversation on Wednesday, which was first reported by CNN.
BOSTON – Project Veritas, a guerilla journalism group known for taking undercover videos focusing a conservative eye on topics ranging from vote fraud to Common Core educational standards, sued in federal court to upend a Massachusetts law that bans most surreptitious recording.
The group, led by James O'Keefe, named Suffolk County District Attorney Dan Conley in its complaint, which claims that the state law is unconstitutional by making it a crime to secretly record another individual without their consent. The group says the state law violates its First Amendment rights as a journalism organization.
