The U.S. Supreme Court is the final word on what happens in this country. Historically the nine justices decide what is constitutional and legal by looking at the law, legal precedent and judicial philosophy.

After more than three years of bloody stalemate, Ukraine has launched unprecedented strikes deep into Russian territory—destroying nearly a third of Russia’s strategic bomber fleet and targeting the crucial Kerch Bridge to Crimea.
Now, Trump’s peace push may now be stalled—not by Ukraine, but by Putin himself. With over $400 billion in Western aid already spent and millions of lives disrupted, is the war entering a more dangerous phase? Victor Davis Hanson examines this latest development on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”
“ Just when we thought the war might have some type of conciliation or armistice, Ukraine struck in a way that it had never done before and it was very effective.
“ There was a drone attack on the Kerch Bridge, that only link, really, that's accessible for easy transport from mainland Russia into the Crimea. It's essential. … It shows you that Ukraine is now kind of having a turtle strategy. It's not going to waste its limited manpower slugging it out. But it's going to use drones and it's going to make over a million of them.”
