This is good, but that 3 justices ruled (voted?) for overturning is disturbing AF. The GOP will just keep appointing justices that will rule their way in the future.
Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch, another Trump appointee, dissented.
And Kavanaugh voted against for the wrong reason (he said Trump’s EO didn’t violate the Constitution but did violates federal law).
But he won on party spending and the independence of federal agencies. This barely feels like a morsel
Didn’t expect that
Something, something, broken clock…
There are 6 pieces of shit on SCOTUS, but some of them at least try not to be occasionally. Even the conservatives seemed incredibly skeptical during arguments. My biggest surprise is that Gorsuch joined Alito and Thomas.
Trollito is obviously such a total piece of shit and wildly radical and out of step with the American people.
I mean that little dickhead seems to be so angry about all the progress that has been made and is flying that Seven Mountain Mandate/ Appeal to Heaven flag, FFS.
No way is he even remotely unbiased. He’s a white guy and so the crazy white xtian nationalist bullshit has a rather obvious appeal to him, even if it would mean the end of this country meaning anything like what it is supposed to mean.
But as to Coke can Clarence - what in the holy fuck is wrong with him? Is he really so fucking stupid as to not realize that it would mean for him, personally? If he doesn’t care about him or his (interracial) marriage, what about his own son, FFS?
This should have been an obvious outcome, but with this court corrupted by too many conservative? You just never know. They overturned 50 years of law on abortion, why not this, too?
The vote was 5-4 for the proposition that the Constitution guarantees birthright citizenship.
The vote was 6-3 that a regular federal law guarantees the same right.
Kavanaugh is the switcher. He voted against the Constitution and for the federal law. This is crazy because the relevant text in the law is a copy paste job from the Constitution. It’s the same text. Kavanaugh’s position is that the same words mean two different things in two different places, because the federal law was enacted at a different time than the constitutional amendment.
Meanwhile, Gorsuch voted against birthright citizenship both times, but in his opinion he’s pretty clear that children born to parents who are domiciled in the US are citizens by birthright. Domicile means you are staying in the US long term and intend to remain. But you don’t need legal immigration status to have domicile. So that’s not really a Trump-friendly position if you dig into it.
Edit: I meant to reply to the other comment, but I messed that up.
