Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals blasts
U.S. District Judge, blocks vote by mail

Hot Air, by Karen Townsend

Original Article

The battle continues. Will Texans have universal mail-in voting for the presidential election in November? That is the question bouncing from court to court, most recently landing in the Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The court struck down a previous order from U.S. District Judge Fred Biery Thursday. Biery sided with Texas Democrats demanding that due to the coronavirus pandemic outbreak in the state, it is unreasonable to expect voters to go to polling places and risk exposure to the virus.

Molotov cocktail-tossing Brooklyn lawyers’
home detention revoked; appeals panel
sends them back to lock-up, for now


New York Daily News, by Noah Goldberg

Original Article

Two Brooklyn lawyers accused of tossing a Molotov cocktail at an empty NYPD car during a chaotic George Floyd protest last weekend are now getting tossed into lockup themselves — for now. Princeton grad Colinford Mattis, 32, and his alleged accomplice and fellow lawyer Urooj Rahman, 31, lost their home detention status late Friday when three federal judges ordered them returned to official custody pending a further review of their bail appeal. Mattis and Rahman were initially granted permission to stay in their respective homes after posting $250,000 bail, and an initial attempt by federal prosecutors to get that decision overturned failed. Prosecutors appealed again and Friday the federal panel decided to send Mattis and Rahman back into lock up to wait until a final ruling is reached.
