The outspoken vice president even resisted the chance to criticize laws governing freedom of speech and belief in the U.K., of which he has been damning in the past. He acknowledged he had “raised some criticism, concerns about our friends on this side of the Atlantic” but specified that “many of the things that I worry most about were happening in the United States from 2020 to 2024.” “I just don’t want other countries to follow us down what I think was a very dark path under the Biden administration,” Vance said, insisting that his concerns about free speech are…

Last week, the appeals court sent the case back to Boardman so she could issue the ruling. The new phase of litigation follows the Supreme Court’s 6-3 decision along ideological lines curtailing judges’ ability to issue universal injunctions. The…
