The Supreme Court ruled Thursday that South Carolina has the power to block Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood clinics, in a technical interpretation over healthcare choices that has emerged as a larger political fight over abortion access.
The case, Medina v. Planned Parenthood South Atlantic, centers on whether low-income Medicaid patients can sue under what is known as Section 1983 – part of the Civil Rights Act of 1871 – in order to choose their own qualified healthcare provider.
It involves South Carolina's blocking of Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood South Atlantic, which the organization argued violated federal law. In a 6-3 decision, the Court noted that the typical redress for such a violation would be for the Secretary of Health and Human Services to withhold Medicaid funding from the state, not for an individual to sue the state.
"Section 1983 permits private plaintiffs to sue for violations of federal spending-power statutes only in 'atypical' situations … where the provision in question 'clear[ly]' and 'unambiguous[ly]' confers an individual 'right,'" Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote in the majority opinion, ruling that the law in question in the present case "is not such a statute."…READ MORE.

RCMP union challenges bilingualism claim in province's Alberta Next survey
The union representing RCMP officers is disputing that its members do not have the opportunity to advance to senior roles unless they speak French, as claimed in the preamble to a new Alberta government survey. On Wednesday, Premier Danielle Smith launched the province's 15-member Alberta Next panel along with corresponding online engagement questionnaires. The panel is seeking feedback on measures Alberta could pursue to further assert itself against the federal government, with an initial focus on an Alberta pension plan, tax collection, immigration, constitutional changes, federal transfers including equalization, and a provincial police force. The panel's website has individual polls for each of those issues that can only be taken following a short animated video. 'Because of French-language requirements, English-speaking Alberta officers do not qualify for senior RCMP positions,' states the narration for the video prior to the survey on a provincial police force. The survey doesn't define what constitutes a senior position. In a statement to Postmedia, the National Police Federation (NPF) president and CEO Brian Sauvé challenged the survey's claim. 'As we've seen previously, the government of Alberta continues to mislead Albertans about the benefits of the Alberta RCMP,' he said. 'In its campaign, the government falsely claims that English-only members are barred from advancing to any senior ranks tied to government requirements. Unfortunately, this is yet another instance of the province spreading misinformation.' The NPF is Canada's largest police union, representing 20,000 RCMP members, and has also been a longtime opponent of a potential provincial police force. The office of Public Safety Minister Mike Ellis responded to those remarks by saying the union was mistaken. 'The National Police Federation is wrong,' reads a statement from Ellis's office. 'The RCMP has previously confirmed that all deputy and assistant commissioner positions in Ottawa are designated bilingual, as are senior positions held by civilians within senior staff.' It goes on to note prior media reporting that the Mounties had to implement new measures to ensure that current and prospective senior managers were bilingual. The statement did not address questions about the future of French-language policing in Alberta. The RCMP told Postmedia that bilingualism requirements for certain roles are not so simple, and vary by region. 'Alberta is designated as a unilingual region for language-of-work purposes, and the vast majority of senior leadership positions in Alberta are identified as English-essential,' said RCMP in an email. The statement adds that of the 3,691 bilingual regular member job positions across Canada, 142 of those roles are located in Alberta, and that there are currently 321 bilingual regular members in Alberta-based K-Division in Edmonton. The Alberta government has worked to establish the groundwork for a province-wide police agency, most recently through changes to the Police Act, which states the new service would be a Crown corporation operating at arm's-length from the province. In 2022, Canada's languages commissioner wrote to Alberta Justice seeking assurances about the preservation of French-language policing in the province should it drop the RCMP, according to an internal briefing note which reads, 'if Alberta creates its own provincial police service, the RCMP would be replaced by a police force that will no longer have the obligation to offer services in French.' According to the 2021 federal census, 261,435 Albertans were able to conduct a conversation in French with just over 88,000 Alberta residents identifying French as their mother tongue. mblack@ Bookmark our website and support our journalism: Don't miss the news you need to know — add and to your bookmarks and sign up for our newsletters here.

AOC's claimed Bronx identity called 'bold-face lie' by former schoolmate turned NY assemblyman
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's image as a tough Bronx native is being challenged by a New York lawmaker who revealed photos of her in his high school yearbook from Yorktown Heights, a suburb nearly an hour outside New York City. New York State GOP Assemblyman Matt Slater, now representing Yorktown, shared the images of a young Ocasio-Cortez earlier this week on X. In the post, Slater claimed he and the rising Democratic star attended Yorktown High School at the same time when she was a freshman and he was a senior. "Everybody in our community knows this is just a bold-face lie," said Slater on "Fox & Friends First" Friday. "She grew up in Yorktown, she was on my track team." Yorktown is a small town in northern Westchester, nearly an hour away from the Bronx. Slater described it as a "great suburban town" with a "touch of rural to it." Ocasio-Cortez graduated from the area's high school, whose mascot is a cornhusker, in 2007. Gop Assemblyman Calls Out Aoc's Suburban Roots With Yearbook Proof After Trump Spat While the congresswoman has spoken about her time in Westchester, her early years in the Bronx have become a vital part of her political brand. Read On The Fox News App Aoc's Constituents Weigh In On Presidential Run, Recall Her Stunning 2018 Political Upset Slater said he was moved to release the yearbook photo online during Rep. Ocasio-Cortez's latest public spat with President Donald Trump, in which she renewed her calls for impeachment over his decision to bypass Congress in authorizing U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear sites. The congresswoman wrote in part on X: "I'm a Bronx girl. You should know that we can eat Queens boys for breakfast. Respectfully," she said, referring to the president's upbringing in Queens. "I saw the attacks on the president and her [Ocasio-Cortez] claims that she's a big, tough Bronx girl," said Slater. "To sit there and say that she's a Bronx girl is just patently ridiculous." Aoc Claims 'We Are One' In Campaign-style Video Despite Years Of Invoking Race, Gender In Politics He added that Ocasio-Cortez's dismissal of her suburban upbringing is part of what he views as a larger "authenticity problem" in the Democratic Party. Aoc, Dems Called Out As 'Hypocrites' For Impeachment Talk Following Us Strikes On Iranian Nuclear Sites "She's lying about her background, she's lying about her upbringing," Slater claimed. He went on to call out other Democratic figures, like California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, as examples of politicians he feels have exaggerated aspects of their life for political gain. 'We Are One': Aoc Campaign Video Swirls 2028 Presidential Rumors "They do not connect with their voters if they [voters] actually know the truth about them," Slater argued. "This is just part of the big lie that they continue to peddle just to make sure that they win elections."Original article source: AOC's claimed Bronx identity called 'bold-face lie' by former schoolmate turned NY assemblyman
