Welcome to Justiceline, ThinkProgress Justice’s morning round-up of the latest legal news and developments. Remember to follow us on Twitter at @TPJustice.
- The House will vote tomorrow on the GOP’s deceptively named “balanced budget amendment,” which would turn America into a Tea Party dystopia where conservative policy outcomes are permanently enshrined in the Constitution.
- California may be on the hook for $1.1 million in legal fees — the cost of challenging its unconstitutional violent video games law in the Supreme Court.
- The Ohio ballot will likely include an awesomely unconstitutional attempt to nullify the Affordable Care Act.
- The White House categorically ruled out a constitutional solution to the impending default crisis.
- New York filed an amicus brief arguing that DOMA is unconstitutional.
- Elizabeth Warren is leaving the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to return to Harvard Law School.
- And, finally, birther queen Orly Taitz gets smacked down by yet another judge. “Plaintiff is either toying with the Court or displaying her own stupidity.”
