Two prominent conservative legal scholars determined that former President Donald Trump is ineligible to be president under a provision in the Constitution barring people who engaged in insurrection from office.
Professors William Baude of the University of Chicago and Michael Stokes Paulsen of the University of St. Thomas — both members of the conservative Federalist Society — studied the question for more than a year and detailed their findings in an article set to be published next year in the University of Pennsylvania Law Review, according to The New York Times.
"When we started out, neither of us was sure what the answer was," Baude told the outlet. "People were talking about this provision of the Constitution. We thought: 'We're constitutional scholars, and this is an important constitutional question. We ought to figure out what's really going on here.' And the more we dug into it, the more we realized that we had something to add."

Hannity Admits Republicans Are WRONG About This - Rebel HQ

A former Rock Co. deputy sheriff who faced 10 child sexual assault or abuse charges pleaded guilty to four of them, while the most severe ones were dismissed.
According to court records, Gary A. Huber pleaded guilty Thursday to two charges each of causing a teenage minor to view sexual activity and exposing intimate parts to a child.
The other six charges, which included first-degree sexual assault – sexual contact with a person under 13 years old, were listed as dismissed, but read in. (Full list below)
Huber, 36, is due to return to a Rock Co. courtroom on Oct. 31 for sentencing. Following his conviction, Judge Derrick Grubb revoked the defendant’s bond, the records indicate.
In December 2021, the state Justice Dept. announced the slew of charges against Huber after his arrest in Fort Wayne, Indiana. It stated the crimes allegedly occurred over a seven-year stretch from 2010 to 2016.
In their statement, prosecutors noted he served as a deputy sheriff in Rock Co. from August 2016 through July 2021. The Justice Dept. added he stepped down that summer to avoid an internal investigation by the Sheriff’s Office

Two young musicians, Khrystyna Spitsyna and Svitlana Semeykina, were killed in the Russian missile strike on Zaporizhzhya on Aug. 9, the Matviivske Village Center for Culture and Leisure reported on Facebook on Aug. 10.
“As a result of a missile strike by Russian terrorists on Zaporizhzhya, our talented girls, Svitlana Semeykina and Khrystyna Spitsyna, tragically lost their lives.”
“Just yesterday, they were singing and playing for people, and today, neither of them are with us anymore. The Russian missile ruthlessly took away their voices, their lives, and along with that, a part of the soul of every one of us.”
The two young women initially embarked on their musical journeys as solo artists but eventually united to form the duo known as Similar Girls.
“These young women believed in a vibrant and peaceful life under the Ukrainian flag. They believed in victory, and they were striving for it with their own strength. Therefore, now we must do it for them,” the center added.
The musicians were 19 and 21 years old respectively, and were both daughters of servicemen who are currently fighting on the Zaporizhzhya front.
