Alice Cooper Makes Heartbreaking Admission About Ozzy Osbourne

Alice Cooper Makes Heartbreaking Admission About Ozzy Osbourneoriginally appeared onParade. Alice Cooperthought thatOzzy Osbournewas going to enjoy retirement. After seeing the 76-year-old Ozzy take one final bow at his andBlackSabbath's farewell show, Cooper, 77, figured that the "Crazy Train" singer would settle down with his family and spend the next decade or two in bliss. Instead, Osbournepassed awayon July 22, less than a month after saying goodbye. "[Ozzy] did that great big show in Birmingham, which was terrific," said Cooper during a recent appearance on BBC Radio 2'sThe Scott Mills Breakfast Show. "And he sang great, and everything. So, I thought, 'well, he's got a lot more time.'" "Ozzy and I go back, you know, to 1969, 1970," he explained. "We really got along. I think everybody in rock and roll, it's a fraternity, you know? And you know everybody, you meet everybody. But Ozzy was one of those guys that, you know, he was a lifer. There are certain guys that are lifers, The [Rolling] Stones, the Beatles, that are still doing it and doing it amazingly well. " View this post on Instagram A post shared by BBC Radio 2 (@bbcradio2) "And I just felt—I'm going to do this till I can't do it. And I think Ozzy was the same thing," added the shock rock legend. Cooper spent the week promoting his new album,The Revenge of Alice Cooper. It marks thefirst album by the Alice Cooper group—Cooper (Vincent Furnier),Michael Bruce, Dennis Dunaway, Neal Smith, and a posthumous recording fromGlen Buxton—in over 50 years. While appearing on the U.K.'s Planet Rock, Cooper revealed when he learned about Ozzy's death. "I was on my way to the stage when I heard about it," said Alice, "And I went, 'Oh, that's not right.' He just did this thing! I saw him! He was singing well." https://www.youtube.com/shorts/1FqXYb8VONY "But, when it finally hit, it was just one of those—yeah," reflected Cooper. "Even though you know it's coming. Especially with Ozzy? Especially with certain guys in rock, where you go, [grimace]." Cooper acknowledged that while Ozzy hadn't been "well for a while," his death was still a "shock" to the system. "And at the end of the show, I just said, 'Everybody, let's say goodnight to Ozzy.'"

Trump's birthright citizenship order is unconstitutional, appeals court says

Trump's birthright citizenship order is unconstitutional, appeals court says

A federal appeals court said Wednesday that President Trump's executive order curtailingbirthright citizenshipis unconstitutional. The policy, which has been the subject of a complicated monthslong legal back-and-forth, is currently on hold. But Wednesday's decision appears to mark the first time that an appellate court has weighed in on the merits of Mr. Trump's attempt to end birthright citizenship for many children of undocumented immigrants by executive order. A panel of judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuitwrotethat Mr. Trump's order is "invalid because it contradicts the plain language of the Fourteenth Amendment's grant of citizenship to 'all persons born in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof.'" White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said in a statement to CBS News: "The Ninth Circuit misinterpreted the purpose and the text of the 14th Amendment. We look forward to being vindicated on appeal." On Friday, U.S. District Judge Leo Sorokin joined the panel of appellate judges and a federal judge in New Hampshire in blocking the Trump administration's restrictions on birthright citizenship, finding a nationwide injunction on the executive order remains in place, The Associated Pressreported. On the first day of Mr. Trump's second term, he signedan executive orderthat said people born in the United States should not automatically get citizenship if one parent is undocumented and the other isn't a citizen or green-card holder, or if both parents are in the U.S. on temporary visas. The order directed federal agencies to stop issuing citizenship documents within 30 days to people who fall into those categories. The order drew a flurry of lawsuits, as most legal experts have said the 14th Amendment — which was ratified in 1868 — automatically offers citizenship to virtually everybody born within the U.S., regardless of their parents' immigration status, with extremely narrow exceptions. The Trump administration argues the citizenship clause of the 14th Amendment does not apply to people whose parents are in the country illegally or temporarily — citing a clause that says citizenship is granted to those who are "subject to the jurisdiction" of the United States. Those parents do not necessarily have "allegiance" to the country, the governmentargues, so they therefore aren't "subject to the jurisdiction." The 9th Circuit disagreed. It wrote Wednesday that a plain reading of the 14th Amendment suggests that citizenship was meant to be granted to anybody who is "subject to the laws and authority of the United States." "The Defendants' proposed interpretation of the Citizenship Clause relies on a network of inferences that are unmoored from the accepted legal principles of 1868," the judges wrote. "Perhaps the Executive Branch, recognizing that it could not change the Constitution, phrased its Executive Order in terms of a strained and novel interpretation of the Constitution," the opinion said. The issue reached the 9th Circuitafter a lower courtin Washington stateblockedthe birthright citizenship executive order in February, responding to a lawsuit from several Democratic states. The Trump administration in Marchappealed that ruling. It reasserted its arguments about who the 14th Amendment applies to, called the ruling "vastly overbroad" and argued the states did not have standing to sue over the order. On Wednesday, the 9th Circuit said the states did have the right to sue, pointing to the risk that states would be financially harmed by a federal policy that narrows who qualifies for citizenship. The appellate judges also upheld the district court's finding that the states are likely to succeed in showing the order violates the Constitution. The 9th Circuit's ruling was written by Clinton-appointed Judge Ronald Gould, and joined by Obama-appointed Judge Michael Daly Hawkins. A third member of the panel — Judge Patrick Bumatay, appointed by Mr. Trump in his first term — dissented in part, writing that the states don't have standing and adding "it's premature to address the merits of the citizenship question or the scope of the injunction." Supreme Court hasn't weighed in on merits of birthright citizenship — yet The birthright citizenship issue reached the Supreme Court earlier this year, but not in a case involving the merits of the Trump administration's policy. Instead, the Supreme Court weighed in on whether the district courts that issued nationwide blocks against Mr. Trump's executive order were exceeding the scope of their power — a perennial topic of debate in legal circles that has frustrated presidents of both parties. The high court'sruling last monthlimited the use of nationwide injunctions. In a 6-3 decision, it granted a request by the administration to narrow the injunctions against the birthright citizenship order, but "only to the extent that the injunctions are broader than necessary to provide complete relief." That doesn't mean the birthright citizenship order will take effect. Shortly after the ruling, a New Hampshire courtpaused the executive ordernationwide in a lawsuit that was brought as a class action, after the Supreme Court's decision left the door open to that option. The Supreme Court also did not directly address whether states can still sue over the order. In the case that the 9th Circuit ruled on Wednesday, the governmenthas arguedthat courts can just block the birthright citizenship order for residents of the states that sued, rather than issuing a nationwide injunction. But the statesarguethat would provide them with incomplete relief because people move from state to state.

Judge dismisses Trump administration lawsuit against Chicago 'sanctuary' laws

Judge dismisses Trump administration lawsuit against Chicago 'sanctuary' laws

CHICAGO (AP) — A judge in Illinois dismissed a Trump administration lawsuit Friday that sought to disrupt limits Chicago imposes on cooperation between federalimmigrationagents and local police. The lawsuit, filed in February, alleged that so-calledsanctuary lawsin the nation's third-largest city "thwart" federal efforts to enforce immigration laws. Itargued that local laws run counterto federal laws by restricting "local governments from sharing immigration information with federal law enforcement officials" and preventing immigration agents from identifying "individuals who may be subject to removal." Judge Lindsay Jenkins of the Northern District of Illinois granted the defendants' motion for dismissal. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson said he was pleased with the decision and the city is safer when police focus on the needs of Chicagoans. "This ruling affirms what we have long known: that Chicago's Welcoming City Ordinance is lawful and supports public safety. The City cannot be compelled to cooperate with the Trump Administration's reckless and inhumane immigration agenda," he said in a statement. Gov. JB Pritzker welcomed the ruling, saying in a social media post, "Illinois just beat the Trump Administration in federal court." The Justice Department and the Department of Homeland Security and did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment. The administration has filed aseries of lawsuitstargeting state or city policies seen as interfering with immigration enforcement, including those inLos Angeles,New York City,DenverandRochester, New York. It suedfour New Jersey citiesin May. Heavily Democratic Chicago has been a sanctuary city for decades and has beefed up its laws several times, including duringTrump's first termin 2017. That same year, then-Gov. Bruce Rauner, a Republican, signed morestatewide sanctuary protections into law, putting him at odds with his party. There is no official definition forsanctuary policies or sanctuary cities. The terms generally describe limits on local cooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. ICE enforces U.S. immigration laws nationwide but sometimes seeks state and local help.
