Planned Parenthood unveils its first-ever call for SCOTUS reform

There is a new post Planned Parenthood unveils its first-ever call for SCOTUS reform

Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra violated an ethics law that limits federal employees' political activities when he stumped for Sen. Alex Padilla during the Congressional Hispanic Caucus' annual awards gala last year, the Office of Special Counsel has found.

During his speech, Becerra, in his official capacity as HHS secretary, strayed from his prepared remarks that had been approved by an HHS ethics attorney and expressed his support for Padilla when speaking to attendees and said he would be voting for Padilla in California's Senate race, OSC said in a report to the White House.

See Also: Alexis McGill Johnson told MSNBC's Jen Psaki that "the way in which the system has been captured requires us to engage in structural reform in a different way."

"In delivering his speech, Secretary Becerra impermissibly mixed his personal electoral preference with official remarks," OSC Special Counsel Henry J. Kerner said in a letter to the White House. "While federal employees are permitted to express support for candidates when speaking in their personal capacity, the Hatch Act restricts employees from doing so when speaking as a government official."

Kerner said that as the 2024 presidential election approaches, OSC's report on Becerra should be seen as an "opportunity to deter violations by reminding federal employees at all levels of the Hatch Act's restrictions."

In response to OSC, Becerra said he did not intend to use his "official authority or influence for purpose of interfering with or affecting the result of an election."

"I regret this inadvertent violation," Becerra told OSC. "While I did not realize at the time that my off-the-cuff remarks concerning my personal voting intentions were in violation of the Hatch Act, I now understand why they were not permitted."

CNN has reached out to the White House for comment.

The Hatch Act of 1939 aims to prevent certain federal employees from having an impact on elections. The law is enforced by OSC and responses can vary significantly – from a slap on the wrist to job loss – when federal employees violate the act.

Biden's former chief of staff Ron Klain was found to have violated the Hatch Act last year when he sent a tweet from his official Twitter account that included a message to buy political merchandise for a Democratic group. He later removed the retweet and received no disciplinary action.

The group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics also filed a complaint against Biden's former White House press secretary Jen Psaki alleging she endorsed former Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe during a press briefing in 2021.

Woman at the Heart of Infamous Malaysian ‘Basikal Lajak’ Court Case Acquitted

Malaysia's Court of Appeal has reached a unanimous decision to acquit Sam Ke Ting in the infamous and drawn-out "Basikal Lajak" court case that began in 2017.

On April 13, 2022, local clerk Sam was found guilty of causing the death of eight young cyclists along a stretch of a dimly-lit road in Johor Bahru at 3.20 a.m. on February 18, 2017, and was handed a six-year prison term alongside an RM6,000 (US$1,358) fine.

After an investigation by the police, it was found that Sam had not been speeding and was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Also, the eight deaths had arisen after a large group of youths had been riding modified bicycles along the poorly-lit and winding road that Sam had been using when she collided into them.

While many observers had deemed Sam's sentence unfair due to the nature of the calamity — something many consider to be a freak accident, she was nevertheless deemed guilty despite initially being freed from a reckless driving charge by the magistrate's court in 2019.

However, the latest ruling by the court of appeal has seen Sam receive an acquittal, with her conviction under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 being set aside by a three-judge panel led by Justice Hadhariah Syed Ismail. All three judges agreed that the charge held against Sam was defective.
