U.S. Supreme Court

A man accused of stalking and threatening his ex-girlfriend may eventually be able to own a gun after Texas high court justices signaled that he can't be banned from owning a gun for life.

The Supreme Court ruled on Thursday that the abortion pill mifepristone can continue to be prescribed online or over the phone and sent through the mail.

Full access to the abortion pill mifepristone, including through telemedicine and the mail, will continue for at least three more days, the high court said on Monday.

The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that mifepristone must be obtained in person, a decision the country’s highest court has temporarily blocked.

James Broadnax was executed Tuesday evening for the 2008 robbery and murders of Stephen Swan and Matthew Butler in Garland.

The high court’s 6-3 ruling in Louisiana v. Callais seriously weakened Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, and will likely result in further partisan redistricting in southern states, such as Texas.

Attorneys Tuesday asked Governor Greg Abbott for a 30-day reprieve. James Broadnax, 37, is scheduled to be executed Thursday evening.

The court denied two of Broadnax's attempts to pause his execution for the murders of two Christian music producers in Garland. Justices are still considering a recent confession alleging Broadnax's cousin was the shooter.

The court issued a decision Monday morning allowing Texas to use the controversial congressional maps that were drawn last summer. The order reverses a lower court ruling that could have led to the maps being thrown out.

The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals said Tuesday that James Broadnax's cousin confession does not meet the criteria for the case to return to court.

Stephen Swan and Matthew Butler were shot and killed 18 years ago in a Garland parking lot. James Broadnax was convicted and is scheduled to be executed next month.

The majority seemed skeptical of the Trump administration's argument on birthright citizenship, appearing ready to rule in favor of upholding automatic citizenship for babies born on U.S. soil.
