Well, I'm not going to lie. This took me eight days, and almost made me move to a cave on the edge of civilization, but I wrote an article about the Roberts Courts decisions in both the trafficking migrants to third country concentration camps case, as the birthright citizenship case. My analysis is pretty grim, but you folks don't read me for sunshine and rainbows.

Knives Out: The Roberts Court Coronates Trump

"So let’s sum up what we’re looking at here, shall we? Over the course of a single week in June, the 6-3 fascist high Roberts Court openly signaled SCOTUS’s willingness to let the Trump regime ruthlessly violate the constitutional rights of immigrants, including children with a legal right to American citizenship, while simultaneously eliminating every other court in America’s ability to stop the government from violating anyone’s rights unless they can afford a lawyer and get a case to trial, twice. At the same time, the Trump administration publicly declared their intentions to immediately begin ignoring the law to traffic migrants to foreign concentration camps, strip citizenship from people born in the United States, defund Dem-controlled sanctuary cities who won’t help Trump illegally kidnap migrants, block access to gender affirming healthcare for trans people, end enforce unconstitutional funding cuts in the broader US government. And then the Court closed up shop for the term."

MSNBC · This Amy Coney Barrett question may offer trans activists a silver liningBy Jessica Levinson

President Trump appointed Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court despite advisers’ doubts about her conservatism, prioritizing religious conservative appeal ahead of the election. Once on the bench, Barrett surprised colleagues by shifting stances in key cases, clashing with conservative justices like Alito, and initially opposing taking up the case that overturned Roe v. Wade. Now, as Trump challenges the judiciary, Barrett has emerged as the Republican-appointed justice most likely to side with liberal outcomes, positioning her as a potential check on presidential power.

Crybaby;

“ President Donald Trump has privately complained that the Supreme Court justices he appointed have not sufficiently stood behind his agenda, according to multiple sources familiar with the conversations. But he has directed particular ire at Justice Amy Coney Barrett, his most recent appointee, one of the sources said.”

The watchdog group Accountable.us & Rep Hank Johson (D-GA) issued a letter calling for #ClarenceThomas’s #recusal from the #Oklahoma case because of his ties to Nicole Garnett, the #NotreDame #law prof, who helped shepherd it.

But unlike #AmyConeyBarrett, Thomas did not #recuse.

Garnett was a clerk for Thomas in the late 1990s & has maintained a close relationship w/ him, which Accountable & Johnson say call into question his objectivity in the case.

Garnett, a former law clerk to Justice #ClarenceThomas & close friend of Justice #AmyConeyBarrett, has worked on school choice issues since the 1990s. In a 2020 paper, she argued that #SCOTUS had opened the door to remaking American #education by ruling in a Montana case that states may not exclude #religious #schools when offering subsidies or funding for PRIVATE education [totally different scenario].

#SupremeCourt Allows #Trump to Use 1798 Wartime Law to #Deport People

The nation's highest court backed Trump's use of the #AlienEnemiesAct to speed up #deportations

by Charisma Madarang, April 8, 2025

"The Supreme Court handed President Donald Trump a massive win on Monday, voting 5-4 to allow his administration to continue rapidly deporting alleged gang members using the Alien Enemies Act.
The law, passed in 1798, gives presidents the authority to remove foreign nationals over the age of 14 from countries where the United States is either engaged in a declared war or subject to “invasion or predatory incursion” by their country of origin. The act has been invoked three times in U.S. history, each time during wartime, and is meant to counter the actions of foreign governments and regimes, not alleged criminals, gangs, or non-state actors. The law was also used to justify Japanese internment during WWII, and now, the Trump administration is using it to justify its deportations.
In an unsigned opinion, the Supreme Court tossed a district court decision that had temporarily blocked President Trump’s attempt to continue using the 227-year-old law after he sent almost 300 Venezuelan migrants to a notorious prison in #ElSalvador, known for human rights abuses.

"All nine justices agreed, however, that anyone the administration is seeking to deport under the Alien Enemies Act must receive notice of deportation and be given the opportunity to challenge the removal through '#habeas petitions' — meaning that migrants have the right to have their detention or deportation reviewed by the federal court, but only for themselves and in the area where they are being detained.

"The court’s three liberal justices dissented from the ruling, while Justice #AmyConeyBarrett, who was appointed by Trump, partially dissented. Barrett joined Justice #SoniaSotomayor’s dissent calling the majority’s legal conclusion 'suspect' and questioning if habeas claims should be the only way to contest deportations under the act.

"'The Court’s legal conclusion is suspect,' wrote #Sotomayor. 'The Court intervenes anyway, granting the Government extraordinary relief and vacating the District Court’s order on that basis alone.'"
