Supreme Court Will Listen to Cases Tomorrow

The Supreme Court will open up its hearings on the President's Executive order tomorrow morning. UACL representative, Kelly McCarthy and SPAC representative Andrew Lieberman are expected to be called to defend their stances on the order. Ms. McCarthy is fresh off her appearance in front of Congress, where she admirably defended the rights of the American citizen, something that Mr. Lieberman failed to do while in front of the same committee. While pictures and video of the hearing will be forbidden, the UACL Media Team will be inside the Court and will report on the day's events at the end of the hearings. Stay tuned...

McCarthy Testifies at Senate Hearing

Yesterday, Kelly McCarthy sat in front of the senate and answered questions regarding her opinion on the constitutionality of the executive order. McCarthy argued passionately that the order was not constitutional. Much to the dismay of the President, she did not support his lack of checks and balances when issuing this order. In particular, McCarthy criticized the violation of the 4th Amendment and questioned how reasonable searches are decided on. She also questioned the necessity of writing up the warrant after the search has been completed. Overall, it was a good day for McCarthy, who performed well.
