Jackson did not discuss the court's ideological split in remarks at the Library of Congress on Friday following her formal investiture, instead focusing on how historically marginalized communities benefit from seeing her elevation to the high court.

Star managing director Matt Beiker resigned inside the third week of hearings after an auditor said he'd been berated by the casino boss for reporting the organisation was not doing enough to comply with anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing laws.

SYDNEY, Oct 6 (Reuters) - Australia's Queensland state declared casino operator pkvgames Star Entertainment Ltd unsuitable for a gambling licence on Thursday after an inquiry found it concealed illegal Chinese wagering payments and lured problem gamblers from interstate.

"We submit that the appropriate action NICC should take is to allow TSEG to continue to operate the licence, under strict supervision and being held accountable to the milestones on the remediation plan."

"That's not a wound that's going to heal quickly. The reality is that she's stepping into a court that has endured a particularly difficult circumstance in the leak," said Megan Wold, a former Alito law clerk now at the law firm Cooper & Kirk.

Since 2021, both Star and larger rival Crown Resorts, recently bought by Blackstone Inc, have been deemed unfit for a gambling licence in every state in which they operate, although neither company has so far been prohibited from operating in any jurisdiction.

M&S said: 'Should any M&S Bank customer experience financial difficulty and need further assistance, we have a dedicated financial support team who would be able to support and discuss the right solution for the customer.

The high street giant denied its Sparks Pay credit account resembled a buy-now-pay-later scheme because it is regulated by the City watchdog, the Financial Conduct Authority - unlike similar products provided by other firms such as Klarna. 

Senior management admitted junket operator Suncity continued operating inside Star despite a Hong Kong Jockey Club report in 2019 linking the group to triads, 'large scale' money laundering and drug trafficking.

The Star Entertainment Group (TSEG) says it has a plan for "a multi-year transformation of the governance, accountability and capabilities, culture and risk, and compliance management practices of the organisation".

The new term's first month includes arguments in cases that present the conservative justices opportunities to limit the scope of a major environmental law, cripple an important civil rights law's protections against racial discrimination in voting and end affirmative action admissions policies used by colleges and universities to increase their numbers of Black and Hispanic students.

It pledged to take "additional necessary and appropriate action" so the NICC "can be satisfied The Star Sydney has taken sufficient steps, and has bound itself to take further steps, so that it may continue to hold its licence".

'Plus, what would the international bodies, Uefa and Fifa, have to say about it — would they stand by and happily allow another outside regulator with no knowledge of the game to set rules they are supposed to ultimately govern? I doubt it.'

These involve race-conscious admissions policies used by colleges and universities to foster student diversity, voting rights, environmental regulation, LGBT and religious rights, the power of federal agencies - and even a dispute over Andy Warhol paintings.

Jackson, who earned undergraduate and law school degrees from Harvard and has served on its Board of Overseers, recused herself from the Harvard case but is set to participate in the North Carolina one.

"I do not think those sorts of concerns will be enough to persuade five of the right-wing justices in many of these cases to not simply leverage their raw power to obtain the ends that they are looking for," Boston University School of Law professor Jonathan Feingold said.

Interim appointments were in place, with changed reporting lines to create better accountability and independence for risk management, "to ensure we move swiftly to strengthen The Star Sydney's operations and risk and controls management".

"I decide cases from a neutral posture. I evaluate the facts, and I interpret and apply the law to the facts of the case before me, without fear or favor, consistent with my judicial oath," Jackson told the Senate Judiciary Committee during her March confirmation hearing.

Brady's article came after Labour Party Deputy Leader Angela Rayner said she had plans to create a new football regulator, which the columnist rubbished, claiming it would be like 'Ofsted for football' and that the FA does that job already.

A statement from the commission said The Star had met its deadline to make submissions as to why the regulator should not take disciplinary action against it, and they would be considered before determining its response.
