At the time, the ruling seemed like a curious one-off. But that single paragraph turned out to be a sharp & lasting break. That night marks the birth, many legal experts believe, of the court’s modern “#ShadowDocket,” the secretive track that #SCOTUS6 has since used to make many major decisions, including granting #Trump more than 20 key victories on issues from immigration to agency power.

Did you hear what SCOTUS said about the "Fuckin hell" Easter post and threatening to wipe out a civilization with nukes?. Me neither. Fuck the #Scotus6 for allowing such terrorism, war crimes, and crimes against humanity.

SCOTUS Allows Federal Agents to Make Immigration Stops in Los Angeles

The Supreme Court has paused a federal judge’s ruling that barred federal agents from making immigration stops in the Los Angeles area and profiling people based on their appearance — or the languages they speak — while the Trump administration appeals the case. Attorney General Pam Bondi praised Monday’s 6-3 ruling by the court’s right-wing majority, writing on X, “Now, ICE can continue carrying out roving patrols in California without judicial micromanagement.” Justices did not state their reasons for overturning the lower court’s ruling. In a dissenting opinion, Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote, “We should not have to live in a country where the government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish and appears to work a low wage job.” Los Angeles city officials and immigrants’ rights groups condemned the Supreme Court’s ruling. Armando Gudino is director of the Los Angeles Worker Center. Armando Gudino: “By siding with the Trump administration, this court majority has revealed itself as highly prejudicial and has further empowered authoritarianism in this country. Immigration agents are now being given the power to profile, stop, detain and arrest people because of the color of their skin, the language they speak or the work that they do. In doing so, they have effectively legalized racial profiling and, by extension, racial discrimination.”

Happy now, #SCOTUS?

You gave absolute immunity to a sociopathic narcissist. What the hell did you expect?

He'd be a very good boy?

The #RobertsCourt/ #SCOTUS6 WILL GO DOWN IN INFAMY.

Y'all ought to be hounded off the planet.

Ain't nuthin' supreme about Chief Justice John Roberts & his #SCOTUS6 except their supreme perfidy & stupidity.

#USpol

Seems Trump is a top, the #SCOTUS6 is quite happy as a bottom. lol

Come on, Michael Crowley/NYT -

Think. It's not just b/c Trump doesn't have advisors like in 2017.

Trump's been emboldened by #SCOTUS6 giving Trump carte blanche to do whatever he wants w/impunity while POTUS.

That's the elephant in the room .

That & #Project2025.

In his first term as president, Donald Trump built a conservative 6-3 supermajority on the Supreme Court. Ever since, the nation’s highest court has repeatedly issued increasingly extreme, far-right decisions on topics of abortion, race, the environment, corruption, and much more. The Supreme Court has eliminated federal protections for abortion rights; limited the federal government’s ability to regulate carbon emissions, protect Americans’ drinking water, and limit ozone pollution; gutted federal agencies’ ability to implement regulations generally; opened up long-standing regulations to new challenges; made it easier for states to enact racial gerrymanders; eliminated college affirmative action policies; found businesses can discriminate against LGBTQ+ customers; permitted public school employees to lead students in prayer; decided that companies can pay public officials gratuities, or thank-you payments, for corrupt contracting decisions; and broadly shielded Trump from criminal prosecution for any so-called official acts he committed as president. Trump is so proud of the conservatives on the court that he frequently praised the justices, individually by name, at 2024 campaign events — thanking them for their “courage” in deciding to overturn Roe v. Wade, so states could ban abortion. At a September rally, Trump called the conservative justices “very brave” and argued that “people should be put in jail” for criticizing them. The Supreme Court’s chief justice, John Roberts, is now echoing Trump’s demand that people stop criticizing him, his colleagues, and other federal jurists — while continuing to pretend that judges are not political https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/john-roberts-supreme-court-political-bias-1235223174/
