Deeply divided federal appeals court finds Virginia's 'habitual drunkard' law unconstitutional | Local News | roanoke.co...
The Roanoke Times reports • 7 hours ago
A U.S. District judge in Roanoke, where the state law has been frequently used, and a three-judge panel of the appeals court have upheld the constitutionality of the statute, concluding that it criminalizes acts, not a status. The law allows a circuit judge to civilly find someone to be a "habitual drunkard" who could be criminally prosecuted for possessing or consuming alcohol, or attempting to do so. "Police officers, prosecutors, and even state circuit court judges likely will have differing perceptions regarding what frequency of drunkenness exceeds the necessary threshold for a person to be considered an 'habitual drunkard,'" wrote that majority.

ACLU, others file suit in San Francisco federal court to halt asylum ban | National | unionleader.com
New Hampshire Union Leader • 6 hours ago
“As part of our nation's commitment to the protection of people fleeing persecution and consistent with our international obligations, it is a long-standing federal law that merely transiting through a third country is not a basis to categorically deny asylum to refugees who arrive at our shores,” the complaint states. A coalition of immigrant advocacy groups led by the American Civil Liberties Union filed suit against the Trump administration in a federal court in San Francisco on Tuesday in an attempt to halt the implementation of a new policy disqualifying most asylum seekers who pass through Mexico before reaching the United States. The attorneys suing the government argued in their complaint that the Trump administration lacks the authority to exclude asylum seekers who arrive across the U.S. southern border, because U.S. immigration laws state clearly that the government cannot disqualify applicants on the basis of where they arrive.

Lawmakers on the House Judiciary Committee's antitrust panel pressed an executive from Amazon.com Inc about allegations that it competed against its own sellers and pushed them to buy advertising and fulfilment services. The committee does not have authority to punish the companies, and any effort to change antitrust laws affecting tech firms would face hurdles in the Republican-controlled Senate. Representative David Cicilline, chair of the antitrust committee, pressed Nate Sutton, an associate general counsel at Amazon, about allegations that the online retailer used data about independent sellers on its platform to develop products to sell, thus competing against its own sellers.
