Trump lawyers say proposed protective order is too broad, urge judge to impose more limited rules

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:50:57 GMT

Donald Trump’s legal team on Monday urged the judge overseeing the election conspiracy case against the former president to reject prosecutors’ proposed protective order concerning evidence in the case, describing it as overly broad.Lawyers for the early 2024 Republican presidential primary front-runner said the judge should impose a more limited protective order that would prevent the defense team from publicly disclosing only materials deemed “sensitive,” such as grand jury witness testimony.“In a trial about First Amendment rights, the government seeks to restrict First Amendment rights. Worse, it does so against its administration’s primary political opponent, during an election season in which the administration, prominent party members, and media allies have campaigned on the indictment and proliferated its false allegations,” Trump’s lawyers wrote.The defense filing was in response to a request Friday from special counsel Jack Smith’s team for a ...

Column: What’s the difference between Eddie Hoffman’s title chase at Grundy and the Chicago White Sox? ‘We want it.’

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:50:57 GMT

When it comes to talking about a track championship that hasn’t yet been clinched, Eddie Hoffman doesn’t bite very often.So it went Friday night at Grundy County Speedway when I asked him about his big points lead and seemingly imminent eighth late model title.I tried to get Eddie to smile about it by suggesting that the White Sox, at 24 games below .500, had a better chance of catching the leaders in the AL Central than anybody at Grundy did of catching him.“Are they really 24 under .500?” Hoffman said. “Yeah, well, we want it. But I don’t know that we should be smiling yet. We still have a little ways to go.“I don’t need the headache. I have enough headaches to think about or worry about a championship. We’re not chasing titles. We’re chasing races. We’re chasing wins. And we’re coming out there to try and have fun, and compete, and learn.”And then he smiled.By the numbers?With four points nights remaini...

Editorial: Israel has its own crisis of democracy

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:50:57 GMT

Authoritarianism can be defined in many ways. A judiciary subservient to the ruling regime is one of them.No one would expect a court in Russia, China, Turkey, Iran or North Korea to mete out true, unbiased justice. In those countries, rule of law is an empty promise. Israel isn’t in the same category, but Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s push to weaken his nation’s Supreme Court represents the most ominous threat to Israel’s democracy in its 75-year history.Can Israel save itself from its anti-democratic backslide? Yes it can, provided that a majority of Israelis join forces with civil society and the high court itself to turn back Netanyahu’s reckless, politically expedient gambit.It won’t be easy, but legions of Israelis have already shown they can send a strong message warning Netanyahu how far he has dangerously strayed from Israel’s founding ideals. For months, throngs of demonstrators have taken to the streets in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem to protest their prime minister’s act...
