    I know it’s not nice to badmouth the deceased but Ruth Bader Ginsburg did het county such a disservice by not vacating her seat and dying in the last months of Trump’s presidency.

    It’s unbelievable

      She will not be remembered for making strides in women rights but for being the reason women lost rights for her own hubris. Her legacy is trash and I hope older politicians or judges take note and just fucking retire when you basically are in hospice care.

    Though this order is temporary, the result is quite surprising. Texas’s law, which allows state officials to arrest migrants and state courts to order them deported to Mexico, violates 150 years of settled law establishing that the federal government, and not the states, gets to decide which foreign nationals may enter or remain in the United States.

    I think we can safely say that there is no longer such a thing as “settled law”. JFC I just cannot with these illegitimate hacks.

    All I know is that àpparently States cannot enforce Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, but they can enforce Immigration Law. I get that right SCOTUS?

      When it’s in your:

      • Uterus: Your state has the power to tell you what can be removed.

      • Election Ballot: lol your state has no power to tell you what can be removed.

        Ones what gop wants and the other isn’t. Amazing how that works just like almost all of the decisions this court has made. Almost like they don’t give a shit about presidence or the law!

          They don’t even remotely give a shit about legal precedent. I haven’t been keeping score but this and Roe v Wade makes at least two examples of “settled law” being thrown in the dumpster.
