Appeals court backs Trump administration’s mandatory detention policy in Minnesota case • Minnesota Reformer

The 8th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Wednesday that the Trump administration can detain certain immigrants without bond pending deportation proceedings, which means being locked up for months or even years. The ruling, which cuts against hundreds of orders by lower court judges in Minnesota and six other states in the 8th Circuit, states that […]

The Supreme Court refuses to review an odious 5th Circuit decision granting qualified immunity to Texas officials who arrested a citizens-journalist in retaliation against her posing questions to public officials. Sotomayor has an appropriately furious dissent:

Tomorrow marks the 61st anniversary of Bloody Sunday in Selma, Alabama. It also marks the 60th anniversary of the Supreme Court first upholding the Voting Rights Act.

We have gotten so, so far away from a Court that cares about democracy.

The Bygone Era of Supreme Court Support for Voting Rights

Sixty years after upholding the Voting Rights Act, the Court has dismantled most of it.

NEW at SCOTUS: the court votes 6-3 to block a California law preventing public schools from outing gender-questioning students to their parents.

The Supreme Court's second and final ruling of the day, USPS v. Konan, bars lawsuits against the Postal Service for maliciously and intentionally refusing to deliver someone's mail. It's 5–4, with Gorsuch joining the liberals in dissent. Bad decision!

Remove all of the climate change denialists from government. That includes requiring that Congress #UnpackTheCourts.

The Supreme Court takes up a climate case that asks whether federal law preempts state-level claims against fossil fuel companies for damages related to climate change.

In which three out of the six extremists on SCOTUS act to stop some of Donald Trump's crimes, but only when the money is threatened.

And, yet again, USA:

Supreme Court rules: "IEEPA does not authorize the President to impose tariffs."

Chief Justice John Roberts leads the opinion.

The testing ground for Bovino’s Operation At Large was Los Angeles. A California judge initially prohibited ICE/CBP’s most flagrant constitutional violations. SCOTUS overruled her 6–3, handing Bovino a blank check to inflict unspeakable brutality on Chicago and Minneapolis. The 6 bear so much blame.

What's happening in Minnesota is one reason the Reconstruction Amendments banned insurrectionists from holding office. Unfortunately, the originalists on the Supreme Court interpreted the plain language of the amendment to mean its opposite.

Don't forget the Supreme Court's role facilitating ICE's brutality and racism in Minneapolis. SCOTUS lifted an injunction that limited racial profiling in immigration enforcement on Sept. 8. The federal assault on Chicago began the next day. Then came the Twin Cities. SCOTUS greenlit these horrors.
