Supreme Court Justice Gorsuch: COVID emergency orders are among `greatest intrusions on civil liberties'

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Supreme Court got rid of a pandemic-related immigration case with a single sentence.Justice Neil Gorsuch had a lot more to say, leveling harsh criticism of how governments, from small towns to the nation's capital, responded to the gravest public health threat in a century.The justice, a 55-year-old conservative who was President Donald Trump's first Supreme Court nominee, called emergency measures taken during the COVID-19 crisis that killed more than 1 million Americans perhaps "the greatest intrusions on civil liberties in the peacetime history of this country."He pointed to orders closing schools, restricting church services, mandating vaccines and prohibiting evictions. His broadside was aimed at local, state and federal officials — even his colleagues."Executive officials across the country issued emergency decrees on a breathtaking scale," Gorsuch wrote in an eight-page statement Thursday that accompanied an expected Supreme Court order formally dismissing a case involving the use of the Title 42 policy to prevent asylum seekers from entering the United States.The policy was ended last week with the expiration of the public health emergency first declared more than three years ago because of the coronavirus pandemic.From the start of his Supreme Court tenure in 2017, Gorsuch, a Colorado native who loves to ski and bicycle, has been more willing than most justices to part company with his colleagues, both left and right.He has mainly voted with the other conservatives in his six years as a justice, joining the majority that overturned Roe v.

"There will be very important matters decided there, so physical presence is a crucial thing to defend our interests."Zelenskyy on Friday opened a visit to Saudi Arabia, where Arab leaders were holding a separate summit, he announced.Russian President Vladimir Putin’s nuclear threats against Ukraine, along with North Korea's months-long barrage of missile tests and China’s rapidly expanding nuclear arsenal, have resonated with Japan’s push to make nuclear disarmament a major part of the summit.

These are the most debt-ridden cities in the US, according to study

debt as the cost of living continues to rise, according to a new analysis.The average non-mortgage debt across the 50 largest U.S. cities is $39,713, which includes auto loans, student loans, credit cards, and personal loans, a new study by online lending marketplace LendingTree found. Across the largest American cities, auto loan debt was found to be the highest at an average of $13,718, ahead of student loans ($11,661), credit cards ($7,789) and personal loans ($5,411), according to the study.The study, published this week, was based on an analysis of 75,000 anonymized credit reports of LendingTree users between January and March.LendingTree chief credit analyst Matt Schulz said he actually expected non-mortgage debt to be much higher."Considering that the average price of a new car is about $50,000 and that so many people likely have an auto loan, student loan debt and credit card debt simultaneously, $40,000 hardly seems outrageous," Schulz said in a statement. He added: "Now, I’m not saying that $40,000 in debt isn’t a lot or isn’t concerning.

WestJet pilots strike looms: What to know if you’ve got a flight booked

WestJet pilots might soon go on strike are looming over travellers who have tickets booked with the Calgary-based airline.The Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA), the union representing WestJet pilots, who are seeking better job protections, benefits and wages that will bring them in line with their North American counterparts, is set to declare on Saturday whether a work stoppage will start 72 hours later on May 16.Pilots representing both WestJet and its discount brand Swoop voted in favour of a strike mandate in April. Earlier this week, pilots took part in an informational picket to raise awareness of their demands.John Gradek, a lecturer with McGill University’s aviation management program who’s not involved in the negotiations, says it’s a toss-up whether there will be a strike or not, with the odds seemingly changing on an hour-to-hour basis.He says there’s a “fairly large gap” between WestJet and its pilots, who are seeking a wage boost to offset what they say are some of the lowest rates of pay for pilots in North America.Though the union claims these working conditions have meant WestJet is bleeding staff to the tune of 30 pilots a month, Gradek also says meeting the demands will be “a significant cost” to the airline.WestJet, for its part, pushed back against the union’s claims in a statement released May 8.The airline asserted that its mainline pilots are among the best paid in Canada and wages shouldn’t be compared to U.S.
