Los Angeles Lakers select Bronny James with 55th pick in 2024 NBA Draft; likely to play as father-son duo with Lebron James
SUMMARY: LeBron James’ dream of playing in the NBA alongside his son, Bronny James, is closer to reality. Bronny was drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers with the No. 55 pick, though it’s uncertain if they’ll play together. LeBron’s potential free agency adds intrigue. Bronny, a 6-foot-1 1/2 guard from USC, had a challenging college year with a congenital heart defect but was cleared for NBA play. Historically, the No. 55 pick has produced few notable players, with the best being Patty Mills. Nonetheless, Bronny’s draft has garnered significant attention due to his father’s fame and accomplishments.

Sotomayor’s dissent: Supreme Court’s liberal justices warn of law-free zone stemming from Trump immunity ruling
SUMMARY: In a significant ruling, the Supreme Court decided 6-3 that former presidents have immunity from criminal prosecution for official acts while in office, but not for unofficial acts. Justice Sonia Sotomayor's dissent expressed deep concern, arguing it creates near-absolute presidential immunity, potentially leading to abuses of power. The ruling influences the delay in Donald Trump's 2020 election subversion case as courts discern which actions are protected. Justices Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson joined Sotomayor, stressing the long-term impact on constitutional democracy. Chief Justice John Roberts defended the decision, emphasizing the necessity of presidential powers while cautioning against routine prosecutions of ex-presidents.
