Yeah, I understand that it doesn’t end birthright citizenship, but the misinformation about it is kind of massive. Even articles here have repeated that (not that they are good reporting foreign news to begin with Willam ).

Trump issues an executive order that anyone registered as a Democrat is ineligible to vote (or maybe something more subtle or narrowly targeted but with the same effect of rigging the election).

Lower courts are not allowed to stop the blatantly unconstitutional ruling, and the Supreme Court drags their feet to not hear an appeal until after the election and the damage is already done...

Let's go further. Say the Supreme Court does eventually hear the case in 2027 and decide that Trump's order was not legal. There is no mechanism to stop Trump from doing the exact same thing with a minor tweak in October 2028 and rigging the next election as well, as it takes months to work up to the Supreme Court...

No, it isn't. Injunctions are temporary because the case has merits to be heard in court.

What strikes me is how a so-called "radical right" leader like Trump is using the same strategies as a "leftist" and "scientific" president like Sheinbaum. Here's a hint: authoritarian and fascist governments don't care about left or right—they care about control.

I don't want to see another post celebrating Sheinbaum.

This ruling is terrible. I know countless friends and family members who are only American thanks to birthright citizenship. I just hope this doesn't harm them in the long run.

Their conception of the law seems to be that words are magic and that the legal system consists of people who knows spells. So Trump says a magic spell and then you find some judges to say a counter magic spell and so on until eventually someone wins. And unless there's a law saying you can't do something you can do whatever you want because magic so you can just go around changing reality as you see fit and everyone will chose to obey because magic. And any ruling you don't understand is clearly corrupt and part of an elaborate plot to achieve unlimited power (even though this already existed since not everything was verboten and people could just ignore those rules anyway) which had only been stopped until now by magic words that people were not using or something.

Then when it comes to the local law, it's perfectly fine for there to be no listed rules that apply (aka the law) and absolute zero checks or responsibility on the staff (aka cops) nor should anyone even have the ability to appeal publicly regarding any actions taken. And consent of the governed? Well, fuck that. Unchecked elite castes of self-declared experts are always the best way to achieve productive discussion.

In other words, I'm saying that if Trump strips an Era member of their citizenship and throws them in a black site, there's low cost options available for therapy.

The current membership of the supreme Court is not ruling in the way that I want. It's impossible to fix even though a democratic President could appoint left leaning judges like they have in the past. We should abolish it and summarily execute all the judges.

This goes way beyond birthright citizenship. Anything Trump does and you oppose, you'll have to fight personally in court, after the fact. This obviously can't work.

Quote:I have always thought that any Supreme Court Ruling that changes existing Laws should by Law trigger review and vote by Congress. It would be a way to ensure Congress actually acts in cases where the Court is changing something and force the check.
This would just be eliminating judicial review and substituting legislative review.

Quote:This is an idiotic ruling and should be distinguished from those in which the court at least has some legal foundation to fall back upon as tenuous as it may be. We've had a few cases like that where yes, the Supreme Court has the ability to give legal deference to the executive, while conveniently ignoring that Trump is the worst good-faith actor imaginable.

But this, this is insanity. This is perhaps one of the most obvious quintessential examples where nothing but a nationwide injunction will suffice to address the harm. To do otherwise means a legal citizen of a state that upheld birthright citizenship may go into labor while traveling in a state that rejected it, and after giving birth they and their child may be considered illegals and subject to deportation. A legal framework where your citizenship flips on and off as you cross imaginary borders.

This is lunacy, the court is quite literally allowing for us to have birthright states and non-birthright states, like the good old 1800s.
Quote:Correct, and if you're a red state, they would not join the suit and therefore we would have half a country with birthright citizenship, half without.
We have a country where people are going to be crossing borders to end/have births.
This was not the case in the 1800s and is not the case now, the Court's old ruling on birthright citizenship still says Trump's executive order is invalid and states cannot determine citizenship.

Quote:The government is attempting to eliminate birthright citizenship in order to block a common pathway to legal residency and eventual citizenship for immigrant families. By doing so, they aim to reduce the incentive for undocumented immigrants to come to the US in hopes that their US born children, who are currently granted automatic citizenship, could later sponsor them. An added benefit, removing birthright citizenship would also make it easier for authorities to deport entire families, since they no longer have to deal with the due process issues afforded to a US citizen.

Without Birthright Citizenship exactly zero people are Citizens of the US. It would mean there exists no Citizenship in the US. In theory wouldn't it also mean the US Government has authority over nobody? Without a replacement of how Citizenship is defined this makes no sense. Additionally you would also need an Amendment to define that since an Amendment already defines it which will never happen in the current environment.

That was the controversy that you just had to find a single judge to block a law and didn't ever need to actually bring it to court. They didn't rule out nationwide injunctions either, not even on the topic of this specific executive order. 

What they're really doing is saying there needs to be a set of rules and procedures for it rather than any judge being able to do them whenever they want, which is very Roberts/ACB/others in jurisprudence, but the Supreme Court itself basically never issues these because it doesn't really have the power to. The common law will just establish it through practice if, as typically assumed, Congress refuses to. That's partly why there were so many opinions issued on this. I think Jackson's dissent is really the only one that seemed to suggest there should be no limits at all on nationwide injunctions, the progressive justices dissent is mostly saying the court is playing politics with this specific case (which, duh) not taking issue with a hypothetical limitation.

I have no problem with nationwide injunctions but it also doesn't seem very radical at all to limit their scope somehow and why people who love the state would want that. I think the porn ruling was the easily worse one, and Kagan shows why it's incoherent in her dissent, but it's also not very radical. Notably nobody attempted to get and got a nationwide injunction on blocking identify verification laws. But that's none of my business...
This is not to say that it isnt susceptible to being commandeered, obviously.

A lot of y'all on this forum are way too comfortable talking to strangers any ol' kind of way and escalating simple conversations for no discernible reason. Then when someone like me calls it like I see it, you want to put your hands up in retreat and tell people to calm down. Nope. We're in here now because for some reason my initial reaction to the announcement of an animated film annoyed you enough to, again, act like an asshole.

It's not even like this initial reaction cannot change either. I've not made a final assessment of the film- it doesn't even exist yet in any meaningful capacity. Every reaction to this news is just that- a reaction. It's, as I said, meaningless. So why you decided to single me out, again psychoanalyze me, and also imply I'm too ignorant to understand the themes of a Pixar film eludes me beyond maybe this being the result of some stupid online beef you've got with me yet which I've forgotten.

Like, seriously ask yourself why be an ass like this? This all could've gone better if you weren't trying to pull one over on me and just wanted to discuss my reservations about this announcement like a normal person. I clarified your confusion over whether or not I was joking in earnest, and you couldn't even return the same respect. Again, ask yourself why?

If you're not going to try to see where the conversation broke down, and continue to keep insisting that you need to reduce me to a cartoon character to make some sort of gotcha, this is a waste of time and I'd highly prefer you just not respond to me anymore.

Gigglepoo wrote:I didn't make you a cartoon character, I pointed out that reflexively dismissing a movie is exactly what Anton Ego would do if he was a film critic. It's not a gotcha. It's not a test to see how well you know the film. It is, though, an apt point that you should learn something from the movie you love. That doesn't make me an ass, it just makes me aware of the obvious. The conversation broke down when you said this sequel was "absolutely disgusting" which is just a preposterous reaction.

So now that I understand it wasn't my message that irked you but how I communicated my message, let's go back to the main question: How is your dismissal of this sequel different from Anton Ego's dismissal of food he doesn't deem worthy of his great taste?

Under the supreme court ruling, however, those court orders only apply to the specific plaintiffs – for example, groups of states or non-profit organizations – that brought the case.

that's the TLDR; i read. A lot of sensationalism out there (i'm in OZ) so maybe you guys can distill it into an actuality.
That was the controversy that you just had to find a single judge to block a law and didn't ever need to actually bring it to court. They didn't rule out nationwide injunctions either, not even on the topic of this specific executive order. 

What they're really doing is saying there needs to be a set of rules and procedures for it rather than any judge being able to do them whenever they want, which is very Roberts/ACB/others in jurisprudence, but the Supreme Court itself basically never issues these because it doesn't really have the power to. The common law will just establish it through practice if, as typically assumed, Congress refuses to. That's partly why there were so many opinions issued on this. I think Jackson's dissent is really the only one that seemed to suggest there should be no limits at all on nationwide injunctions, the progressive justices dissent is mostly saying the court is playing politics with this specific case (which, duh) not taking issue with a hypothetical limitation.

I have no problem with nationwide injunctions but it also doesn't seem very radical at all to limit their scope somehow and why people who love the state would want that. I think the porn ruling was the easily worse one, and Kagan shows why it's incoherent in her dissent, but it's also not very radical. Notably nobody attempted to get and got a nationwide injunction on blocking identify verification laws. 

Yea, fuck you.

They ruled on HOW nationwide injunctions could be used (per case). The refused to rule on the actual EO. 

They said it has to be case by case instead of a whole which removes anybody explicitly asking. 

You should have have an issue on federal national injunctions not being applied wholly instead of per case, unless well your stupid or want that.

Because injunctions can only apply to a case, if there's no case what's being enjoined? You don't have to issue an injunction to block illegal acts, they're illegal. Instead they're saying "well, maybe these laws are unconstitutional so I can block it" which is the type of unlimited power we're being told they're necessary to thwart.

It also forecloses actual cases being brought, which denies relief to parties with actual damages.

There's a reason nationwide injunctions basically were almost never used until Republican judges started blocking Obama with them. It allows a single judge to dictate law for the entire country without having to actually litigate the law or hear from any parties.
Goddamn I give up what's considered "good" horror nowadays sucks. The Substance has a good message stretched to its absolute limits. Why the fuck is it 2:21 mins long? Jesus Christ ever since hereditary shit has been going downhill with artsy A24 crap.
