Good news for the “little guy”

Municipalities tend to think they can do whatever they want, however they want, and citizens can’t do anything about it. This citizen fought back, and held his ground even when court after court told him to kiss due process goodbye. The city cited Ishakis for failing to maintain his driveway, but they didn’t follow all the requirements of the law. In the end, he won in the Court of Appeals, his civil infraction judgment was vacated, and the civil infraction case was dismissed!

New SCOTUS Decision: Supremacy Clause, Immunity & Federal Common Law

NEW SCOTUS Decision! Hencely v Fluor Corp. et al (No. 24–924), Decided April 22, 2026. SCOTUS held the Supremacy Clause requires state law to yield only when it conflicts with rights or restrictions that stem from the Constitution or a valid federal statute or treaty (p5, Slip Opinion).  Further, SCOTUS held federal contractors do not automatically share the Government’s immunity merely because they perform services for it (p12-16, Slip Opinion). “Instead, without a federal statute, contractors ordinarily have a constitutional defense only when the contractor is being sued precisely for accomplishing what the Federal Government requested.” Consequently, where a “Government agent had ‘exceeded his authority’ or the authority ‘was not validly conferred’ . . . the agent could be held liable for conduct causing injury to another.” And interestingly, SCOTUS expressly acknowledged their 1938 holding in Erie R. Co. v. Tompkins, 304 US 64, 78 that “[t]here is no federal general common law.”

Michigan Supreme Court to Engage Bay Region Students Through 33rd Court Community Connections Program

The Michigan Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in People v. Jennings, No. 165764, at Bay City Central High School as part of the Court Community Connections program. Court Community Connections is one of the Michigan Supreme Court’s longest-standing public education and engagement initiatives. Since its launch in 2007, the program has provided students with a firsthand opportunity to observe the judicial process and engage directly with the Court. In addition to hearing cases at the Michigan Hall of Justice in Lansing, the Court travels to communities statewide through this program, which is aimed primarily at high school students. This will be the 33rd time the Court has convened in a community setting to hear a case at another location. The public, especially local attorneys, are invited to attend. https://restorefreedomkh.com/b1qv for more info

No right to government information?!?

McCaleb sued TN Courts, arguing the TN Judicial Advisory Commission’s practice of closing its meetings to the public violated the 1st Amendment. The court held “the First Amendment does not confer a general right to access information in the government’s possession[,]” and the burden is on the person seeking the information to show constitutional rights have been violated. 🤦SMH #GovernmentalAccountabilityMatters

Bad News in your court case? Have hope…

Did the judge in your case just issue a decision that misapprehends an important point of law or fact? What can you do? Depending on your jurisdiction and stage of the case, you may be able to file a Motion for Reconsideration (or Rehearing) – this asks them to reconsider before it’s finalized – or a Motion for a Written Opinion – if granted, this could lay the jurisdictional groundwork for your case to be taken to the next highest court. Check out a real-life example here: https://wp.me/aecX6i-3wg
