Judge Blocks Birthright Citizenship Executive Order Nationwide​



“… Ruling from the bench, Judge Joseph N. Laplante of the U.S. District Court for the District of New Hampshire also allowed the case to proceed as a class action, applying his order nationwide to babies born to undocumented parents. After a recent Supreme Court decision limiting nationwide injunctions, lawsuits structured as class actions are effectively the only ones that can halt the president’s policies across broad sections of the country.

The Trump administration has fought to end the longstanding custom that people born in the United States are automatically citizens, regardless of their parents’ immigration status. Judge Laplante’s order ensures a new round of litigation and appeals.

The judge, an appointee of President George W. Bush, said he would issue a written order later in the day. He also stayed his order for seven days, allowing time for an appeal.

The lawsuit, brought by the A.C.L.U., was filed just hours after the Supreme Court’s ruling last month, testing what appeared to be the only remaining practical and efficient way for district court judges to freeze the implementation of policies they found unlawful….”

——
So ICE has 7 days to deport people they claim are not citizens because Trump unilaterally declared birthright citizenship inapplicable to children of migrants, I guess?

From the same link (a catch-all breaking Trump news link with multiple stories at NYT):

“… A former Justice Department lawyer accused the Trump administration of “thumbing its nose at the courts,” saying his former colleagues were being forced to choose between the president’s agenda and their ethical obligations as attorneys.

In an interview with The New York Times, the lawyer, Erez Reuveni, who filed a detailed whistle-blower claim to the Senate last month, shared his growing sense of alarm as he defended the administration’s aggressive deportation agenda. He said he was willing to testify to Congress or in court …

Mr. Reuveni, speaking publicly for the first time about his experiences, was fired in April after he appeared in court to defend the administration’s mistaken deportation of a man in Maryland, accused of refusing a superior’s directive.

…Although the administration’s approach has been broadly clear, Mr. Bove and his boss have denied the thrust of Mr. Reuveni’s account. But text messages, phone records and emails viewed by The Times appear to bolster the whistle-blower’s version of events, offering a behind-the-scenes recounting of private meetings and conversations that show Justice Department leaders pressing to take audacious legal risks….”

The Supreme Court opinion noted that the original order would be valid for 30 days from the date of decision. So this is well within that time frame. After seven days, the new order will take effect, replacing the old one.

Because the district courts are reacting with proper urgency (with negative support from the fuckers on SCOTUS), I don't think the administration can do this without getting a green light from the Supremes.
 
Playing God? Like when the government decides a woman should just die from her ectopic pregnancy instead of giving proper medical treatment? All in the name of God?
The number of diehard MAGAs on social media now claiming that all of this flooding around the country is "unnatural" and is being caused by cloud seeding and that our government secretly controls the weather (I saw a post on facebook from a woman claiming that this has been the case since 1946) is absurd. And anytime someone mentions climate change and global warming as the cause of growing flood events they immediately ridicule it and tell the person to "do their own research."

In their insane MAGA world believing that global warming is real is a step too far, but believing that our government (which is now controlled by Trump) has secretly had the power to control our weather for decades and is now causing all of these floods seems perfectly normal and reasonable to them. Whenever I wonder how in the hell enough Americans could believe that Trump was in any way fit to be POTUS to get him elected I see crap like this and it suddenly makes sense. The cloud seeding/government controls the weather is of course crazy talk, but that seems to be the conspiracy theory of the moment among right-wing MAGAs. They control every level and branch of the federal government, yet they persist in seeing themselves as the victims of the all-powerful sinister Deep State that's out to get them.

I don't think they are capable of understanding the world except as a plot. Their version of Christianity often posits that they are caught in a tug of war on Earth between Satan and God. They communicate in conspiracy theories. Their preferred form of knowledge is revelation, which is why they get caught up in all that bullshit. Truth comes from above, for them, not from using their minds.

What's the opposite of Occam's Razor? Because that's what our Pub friends are embracing now. The most unlikely (and unscientific) explanation is the most plausible.
 

Yeah, I think this "spat" between Trump and Putin is a manufactured ruse...

Trump: Hey Vlad this is Donald. I've been catching sh*t from everyone here and being called your bitch because I have been sucking your dick on supporting your position when it comes to invading and annexing Ukraine

Putin : I suggest we create a pretend conflict between the two of us. You can express anger and threaten us with sanctions and sending weapons to Ukraine and we will respond with anger and threaten you. This will distract the media and your opponents, and it will be touted by your supporters that you really are a tough guy when it comes to Russia.

Trump: I love it. It's a win win for you and me !

According to the linked article, St. Donald of Mar-a-Lago was in a meeting with, among others, the President of Liberia, Joseph Boakai. After President Boakai spoke at this meeting, St. Donald complimented him on his mastery of English and inquired as to where he had learned English. What an idiot. I seriously doubt that any of St. Donald's advisors apprised him of the fact that the President of a county where English was the official language would probably be quite fluent in English. In fact, the only country where English is the most common spoken language that has a political leader who struggles with English is the United States.
 


Heyyyyyyy where are all the MAGA whores who were prancing around this board beating their chests two weeks ago about TOTAL
OBLITERATION!?!?!?!?
