President Joe Biden has suggested he will appoint progressive justices to the Supreme Court if he wins a second term in the White House in November....
The conservative justices appointed by his rival, former President Donald Trump, are "already gutting voting rights, overturning Roe, decimating affirmative action, and so much more," Biden said. "Are we going to let that happen? We can't."
The Supreme Court idea of judicial review was, essentially, created by an early Chief Justice using the classic children's excuse "the rules don't say I can't do this so therefore I'm doing it and you can't stop me"
Edit: I had this somewhat wrong. After reading, it seems a lot of the people who wrote and debated on the Constitution wrote strongly in support of judicial review, and it was in fact voted on and approved by multiple state legislatures after the Constitution was adopted. It simply wasn't worded explicitly into the Constitution. Chief Justice John Marshall did issue an official ruling that made it a standard practice but it was not a new concept.

The reason behind the husband's death is equally uncertain, except to say that he died in prison in East Turkestan (Xinjiang) when serving a sentence for the “crime” of accessing overseas websites, one of six men from the same village to leave this world in similar circumstances....
Source: Radio Free Asia, aka the CIA, who have obvious material interest in smearing China as much as possible.
China may have problems but the bias here is pretty overt.
The sourcing is nebulous by their own admission and the phrasing of the entire article is overtly negative and inflammatory. It could be entirely made up and we have no way to prove it true or false.
I don't believe a single word the CIA says about China and neither should anyone who is interested in the truth.
