Mahmoud is next. The conservatives find that parents should have the ability to opt their kids out of public school activities they find offensive or against their religion. No shock based on prior terms, but I literally cannot image how anyone could have the patience to be a public school teacher these days. They get no support whatsoever from the federal government.
 
Just a quick note between opinions -- Ram and calla should be popping champagne for the rest of the day. We're not done yet, but today has already shown beyond any question that on the important issues, the conservative justices will fall in line. And that includes Roberts and Barrett.

Was this really in doubt? We are counting on Roberts and Barrett to be swing votes. It's laughable.

Any litigators worth your salt, buckle up. A chart of the volume of con law litigation over the next month in districts across the country should resemble a 14-year old boy at a sorority party.

Won’t it just mean that all the cases get filed as class actions going forward? Does it really change anything?
 
Two cases left, one voting rights and one sort of 1A. Just to be clear, the court is punting on birthright citizenship. The good news (I guess) is Trump's EO is unlikely to be enforced in the next 3.5 years. The bad news is this court is punting on one of the easiest and most obvious constitutional questions it's been presented with in the last 20 years. Other than Trump v. US, of course, which essentially invalidated Article I.

That's the only way you can get a national injunction. But class actions take forever, and you can get a district-level injunction almost immediately.
 
TOO.....MUCH.....WINNING!

Seriously, I can see the merit, in limited extreme cases of nationwide injunctions. The problem (as usual) is the libs went way overboard on this with every liberal interest group running to Rhode Island or San Francisco for an injunction. Justice Kagan even raised this in oral argument.
 
So far --

Great day for the executive, litigators, freedom of religion (but not freedom from religion), and RFK Jr.

Horrible day for Congress, public schools, district court judges, and the constitution.

Let's see how we bring this home.
 
I have no love whatsoever for porn on the internet. I'd love it if we could ban it. But we can't. Because of this asshole thing we call the First Amendment. Unless you're in Texas. In which case the First Amendment doesn't apply.

Supreme Court Limits Nationwide Injunctions in Birthright Citizenship Case​

In a major victory for President Trump, the court limited the ability of federal judges to pause his executive orders. The decision may reshape the way U.S. citizenship is granted, even temporarily.

As always, Trump is up to his ears in bullshit. I literally can't imagine supporting a person who lies as much as he does.
 
Done for today, and I have to check out for a while. The VRA decision will apparently come next week. So, congrats Ram. Congrats, calla. You guys got what you wanted from this term. The human cost is unimaginable, but you guys should feel really good about what your team has been able to do over the last few years.
 
Pub hypocrisy related to nation-wide injunctions is maximal. They should be ashamed but that would require a moral compass and sense of integrity.
