SCOTUS Hears Oral Arguments In Birthright Citizenship Case, With Consequences For Courts' Ability To Check Trump

You’re letting yourself fall into the Major Questions Injunction Doctrine. It’s unprincipled claptrap. If the district court has jurisdiction over any defendant over a question of national law, the court should be able to enjoin that defendant’s noncompliance with that law. Period.

Justice Kagan, is that you? Stop posting and get back to arguments. :smirk:

The Sleazy Six seems to be heading towards what I will call the Pornography Doctrine, where “you know it when you see it (but we still get to decide)”.

On the bright side, they are setting up a future Court to declare the Roberts’ Court decision making to be an intractable and contradictory mess, leading to wholesale overturning of many of these decisions.

Yeah, they surprise me in their continual drive to strip the broader federal judiciary of power, while trying to retain their own power as king makers. But they continually seem to fail to see that the problem of being king makers is that eventually you are just left with a king.

I’d go further and say the problem being that person you made king will view you as a threat once they gain power and will work towards eliminating you. This is why electing a monarch or dictator is problematic, which is why many of those systems defaulted to some form of royal inheritance to try to sidestep those issues (not always successfully).

We already know how this will go:

  • Nationwide injunction against a Dem law - nothing to see here, carry on
  • Nationwide injunction against a GQP law/EO - everyone who is affected by it needs to file individually in federal court in DC.

This should never have been taken up by the subprime court. The only reason the sleazy six did it was is to end nationwide injunctions.

And by definition these rulings prevent a change, not enforce one, so time is not necessarily an issue as status quo continues until the appeals are done.

I think you mean the Federal Court of CECOT, since the SCOTUS wants to force petitioners to file in the jurisdiction they are located. :man_shrugging:

Delayed taking up the dotard’s stealing and hoarding of classified documents for how many months? Quite a critical case that was put off even after the Special Council requested the case be heard expeditiously. And Chief Justice Roberts puts on the hot dog suit to find out just who has tainted the nations approval of the Supremes.

Yes, because it’s not as if the Coast Guard has any other urgent funding needs.

If you’re fortunate enough to get into District Seven Slave Labor camp Libya allows an appeal. Not so much the rest of them.

Okay, that’s funny.

I wonder how random ACB’s choice of 1955 (one year after Brown v Board of Education) was there.

I can’t help but feel that her tenure on the court is going to be an interesting one.

Roberts is one of those people who apparently overthinks every case to the point that he ends up disappearing up his own asshole.

Has there been any accountability for all his previous grift so far? Why would the prospect of accountability deter Thomas ( or any of the fake “Justices” for that matter)?

Looks to me that ACB’s stint on the Court so far has opened her eyes to the absolute corruption, idiocy and lack of reasoning among her male colleagues.
