In keeping with their usual standard of dickery, the Supreme Court made a very bizzaro 6-3 ruling today regarding Trump’s EO over birthright citizenship.
They didn’t rule on if it was constitutional or not, but they ruled lower courts can’t stop EOs from being enforced. They specifically stated that universal injunctions pending court decisions exceed the authority granted them in the constitution. So universal injunctions are out. What this means is that in 28 states, people now born in them to non-citizens do not get birthright citizenship, but identical circumstances in the other states mean they are citizens.
This is gonna cause some seriously tangled shit in courts. It’s a cowardly move made by fascist, coward supreme court justices. Ones who do not give a single shit about the kind of mess they’re causing.
Make no mistake: that EO is a lawless order. The Supreme Court didn’t even have the balls to go full fascist, probably because Roberts wants to protect “his legacy”. So instead they just ruled nobody but them can block lawless orders like this. So effectively, it’s legal, because nobody’s allowed to stop it.
I don’t have any linked articles on this, but Zohran Mamdani won the Democratic primary for NYC’s mayoral election, and the right wingers and oligarchs are absolutely losing their shit over him. Demanding Trump de-naturalize him for lying on his permanent residency form, because obviously he wants to topple the United States, rather than just, y’know, improve New York.
This is especially funny because it implies he was some kind of radical when he filled out his permanent residency forms. You know. When he was seven fucking years old.
