Today the Supreme Court is on the verge of overturning these cases. After all, why stick with a constitutionally unjustified ruling? The answer proposed by supporters of Roe and Casey is that precedent (stare decisis) requires it. It’s true that in our legal system precedent sometimes provides a reason for courts—even the Supreme Court—to stick with a decision that is incorrect. But the operative word here is “sometimes.” Often, the Supreme Court’s constitutional duty requires that the Justices correct their predecessors’ errors by reversing wrongly decided cases—even when those cases have stood for decades and been reaffirmed in the interim....

Commissioner Gary Bettman handed down the suspension Wednesday after an investigation and a hearing with Watson last week. Watson pleaded no contest in July to a charge of domestic assault stemming from an incident in June, and the NHL found Watson engaged in unacceptable off-ice conduct. “I have determined that Nashville Player Austin Watson engaged in a physical confrontation with his domestic partner,” Bettman said in a statement. “Today’s ruling, while tailored to the specific facts of this case and the individuals involved, is necessary and consistent with the NHL’s strongly held view that it cannot and will not tolerate this and similar types of conduct....

Not his goal that preserved Nashville’s hopes of repeating as Central Division champs. No, he wants to watch how Filip Forsberg kept the puck in the zone setting up Johansen’s game-winner, a play Johansen called possibly the most impressive thing he’s seen his linemate do. “The absolute relentless talented way to get the puck, strip the puck, get it back, make a play . that was world-class,” Johansen said....

Despite several trailers and early gameplay footage, not much is known about Hollow Knight: Silksong’s plot, nor its major threats. While Hornet winds up in Pharloom against her will, it isn’t clear what story is unraveling there for her to discover. Predicting the game’s new antagonist and how it might involve Hornet could help prepare players the upcoming sequel - especially since Silksong is shaping up to be a significant departure from Hollow Knight....

Jake Paul recently demonstrated that he could hang with an experienced pro-fighter after knocking out former UFC fighter Ben Askren. But Jake Paul still hasn’t earned the respect of most fight fans because he hasn’t beaten anyone with a legitimate boxing pedigree. That said, fans are clamoring for Jake Paul to face a respectable striker next.

While it’s been a year of resurgence for the Spanish Matador Rafael Nadal and the Swiss great Roger Federer, whose feats need no mention as they touched the zenith at world No 1 and 2 respectively, it’s been a breakthrough year for some fresh faces too. Kevin Anderson leaped a massive 53 spots from 67 at the start of the season to get inside the top 20 at 14, thanks largely to his scintillating run to the US Open final....

In case you didn’t know… Liverpool and Manchester City have been a part of the most intense battle for the Premier League title in recent memory, having constantly attempted to get ahead of one another for the better part of the season.

The thrill of such competitive football generates some record-breaking revenues for the teams. As a result of which, they splash monstrous sums of money in the transfer market. Last summer alone, English teams spent £1.4 billion to make some eye-catching acquisitions across Europe. Teams have been bolstering their squads with some sensational talent to provide them the much-needed depth. The fixture pile-up at the turn of the year accompanied with the FA Cup and League Cup ties are tackled by such players who ease the workload of the main XI....

Leicester City spoiled Lampard’s return to Stamford Bridge last week, holding Chelsea to a 1-1 draw after Mason Mount had put the Blues ahead. Coupled with the 4-0 thrashing suffered against Manchester United at Old Trafford in the opening day of the season, the result leaves Chelsea with just one point after two games. Against Leicester, the Blues showed encouraging progress in spells and there were signs the high-pressing game Lampard has been trying to implement is reaping dividends....

It was a shambolic performance from the Blues this afternoon. It looked more like Newcastle were battling for the 4th spot and Chelsea were just happy to be playing Europa League next season. No desire, no intent, no passion…Chelsea had nothing to offer for their fans in the last game of this season. They might as well just forfeit the FA Cup and save themselves from another humiliation.

Liverpool have 54 points from 20 matches while City have 47 from the same number of matches. Should Liverpool win on Friday, they could well have ensured their first title win since 1990. However, if City go on to beat Liverpool, they would be firmly back in the title race. Both Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola would have their fingers crossed before such an important match-up. Guardiola, however, would be more desperate for a win as his team is trailing the group leaders by 7 points....

The club also received a heartwarming meeting, when former Manager Sir Alex Ferguson paid them a visit in training this week. Paul Pogba is back among the goals and things are looking rosy at Old Trafford once more. Newcastle will be Solskjaer’s first tough assignment on the road, and he will need no reminding of how the dangerous the Magpies can be. Rafael Benitez’s side took a shock 2-0 lead at Old Trafford earlier this season before United called on their powers of recovery to turn the game on its head and win 3-2....
