American Taliban

"Earlier this week, the Supremos handed down a one-page order that greenlit federal immigration officers’ use of blatant racial profiling when conducting armed raids in the Los Angeles area. A lower court had temporarily barred ICE from detaining people based solely on factors like “they are speaking Spanish” or “they are day laborers waiting outside Home Depot in the morning.” By blocking that lower court order, the members of the court’s conservative supermajority have once again used the shadow docket to give their very favorite president everything for which he asks. Only the three liberals noted their dissent.
.
As is usually the case with the SUPREMOS' pro-Trump shadow docket jurisprudence, the majority did not explain its decision. But one justice, Brett Kavanaugh, wrote a concurring opinion only for himself, which contains—and here I apologize for the legal jargon—some of the stupidest shit I have ever encountered in the U.S. Reports. Over the course of 10 pages, Kavanaugh fumbles his way through the sort of legal and factual analysis that a second-year law student would find a little embarrassing, laced with the affected earnestness of someone whose only conception of hardship is when his vacation home’s cleaning crew gets stuck in traffic. I honestly wonder if none of the other conservatives joined it because, although they agree with the bottom-line result, none of them wanted their names publicly associated with this vapid dreck.
.
You can set aside, for a moment, the absurdity of this logic, which has the effect of shielding violent cops from even modest efforts to use the legal system to curb police brutality. As Sotomayor points out in dissent, Lyons was a case about law enforcement officers doing things they were (ostensibly) not supposed to do. This case, four decades later, is about law enforcement officers carrying out Stephen Miller’s explicit orders to hunt down brown people and purge them from the country by any means necessary. Kavanaugh’s logic would not only insulate the government from accountability for its agents’ unauthorized violations of people’s rights, but also for ordering those agents to violate those rights with impunity."

I still remember when another lying leftist comedian cast dishonest hateful dispersions on Kavanaugh.

"Presidunce Spanky asked the U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday to let him move ahead with firing Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook - a move without precedent since the central bank's founding in 1913 - in a legal battle that imperils the Fed's independence.
.
Cook, the first Black woman to serve as a Fed governor, sued Trump in August after the president announced he would remove her. Cook has said the claims made by Spanky against her did not give the president the legal authority to remove her and were a pretext to fire her for her monetary policy stance."

Lefties do not believe DEI hires should be fired for little crimes like mortgage fraud.
 
“Umpires don’t make the rules,” Roberts said, when describing his judicial approach at his 2005 confirmation hearings. “They apply them.” If Roberts is rarely depicted as a firebrand or a zealot, few would deny his unmistakable ideological tilt. And yet, Roberts is (TOO) often portrayed as a moderating force. His Republican-appointed colleagues may be working to covertly advance an ideological project, but Roberts was different: an arch-institutionalist willing to cast aside his own leanings to preserve the legitimacy of the Supreme Court in a hyper-partisan era.
.
If that was his goal, then he has failed miserably. Public confidence in the Supreme Court as an institution has also collapsed. When Roberts was inaugurated, Gallup found in a September 2005 poll that 56 percent of Americans approved of the court’s job. In July, this year, that number had dropped to 39 percent—the first sub-40 result in the survey’s history.
.
How did we get here? Any survey of the Roberts court’s impact on American political life must begin with Citizens United v. FEC."

Hakeem Jeffries has let it be known that he does not respect the Supreme Court.

"In a rare public appearance, the Most Supreme Leader Thomas hinted that the nation’s highest court may very well be considering tearing up legal precedents that have been in effect for decades, and some nearly a century old."

Which Thomas is tearing up decades of established American morals and principles and destroying human rights protections for the vulnerable, Lia Thomas?
 
"The U.S. Supremos on Monday declined to hear a challenge to federal marijuana laws brought by four licensed cannabis companies, including a major marijuana multistate operator.
.
Supreme Court justices met behind closed doors on Dec. 12 to consider the cannabis companies’ petition, brought after a lower federal court in Massachusetts and an appellate court rejected their constitutional challenge to federal marijuana laws.
.
The companies hoped to bring cannabis laws before the high court for the first time since 2005.
.
They argued conditions have changed so much since then, with more than two dozen states have legal adult-use marijuana, that the factual basis for the ruling in Gonzales vs. Raich no longer applies."

Perhaps the SCOTUS justices should be drug tested before allowing them to issue a ruling on illegal drugs.
