I'd like to repeat: if Justice Kavanaugh’s comment is correct, even #ClarenceThomas and #SamuelAlito agree #Trump’s goons cannot deport without providing non-citizen victims the opportunity to challenge it in court.

#SCOTUS ruled that under #civil #RICO #law a plaintiff may seek treble damages for business or property loss even if the loss resulted from #PersonalInjury. It’s a win for truck driver Douglas Horn who was fired when he failed a drug test after taking a tincture that said it only contained #CBD.

Opinion from #AmyConeyBarrett, 5-4, in #MedicalMarijuana, Inc v Horn. #ClarenceThomas filed a dissent. Brett #Kavanaugh filed a dissent, joined by #JohnRoberts, & Samuel #Alito.

>> The one thing that I really hold #Biden responsible for is not getting rid of #DeJoy.

Biden wanted #unity.

Nothing wrong, but investigating and firing blatantly partisan hacks like Louis DeJoy would have detracted from that [/sarcasm]

Also, he knew better than did we. With so much experience and knowledge, why should he have trusted us over his gut feeling [/subtweet]

Bonus on his gut feeling: Siding with #ClarenceThomas over #AnitaHill testimony

In other words, Justices Samuel #Alito, #ClarenceThomas, #NeilGorsuch & #BrettKavanaugh don’t believe in the power of the #judiciary, their own power, or the #SeparationOfPowers.

They believe that the president is in fact above the #law — as long as that president is #Trump.

Here is the order, Alito’s self sabotaging dissent starts on page 2.

Judge Ali should consider "the feasibility of any compliance deadlines," #SCOTUS added.

4 conservative justices dissented from the denial of the application, w/Justice #Alito writing that Ali did not have "unchecked power to compel the government to pay out ... 2 billion taxpayer dollars."

"I am stunned," Alito added.

The other dissenters were Justices #ClarenceThomas, #NeilGorsuch & #BrettKavanaugh.

In his dissent Monday, #ClarenceThomas said lower courts continue to follow Hill despite the court’s repudiation of that ruling in #Dobbs.

“I don’t see what is left” of the 2000 decision, he wrote, adding that the court “declines an invitation to set the record straight on Hill’s defunct status.”

Justices #ClarenceThomas & Samuel #Alito dissented [of course], w/Thomas writing that the court’s decision not to review the case from Illinois was “an abdication of our judicial duty” that allows constitutional rights to “hang in the balance.”
