The Supreme Court will allow the Trump administration to enforce its anti-trans and anti-nonbinary passport policy during litigation.
The unsigned, four-paragraph order effectively reverses two lower-court decisions. The Democratic appointees dissent.

my main takeaways from listening to the Supreme Court oral argument today are
-the writing is on the wall for the Voting Rights Act
-the Republican justices are now throwing racist spaghetti at that wall; they'll pass of whatever sticks as the opinion's rationale

Alito, joined by Thomas and Gorsuch, suggest that public schools violate the Constitution when they help a student transition (by acknowledging them as trans) without their parents' knowledge or consent.
Would force schools to out trans kids to their parents.

The good news is that the Supreme Court still refused to hear this case.

SCOTUS (again) allows Sec. Noem to proceed with ending Temporary Protect Status for more than 600,000 Venezuelans, over the objection of the three Democratic appointees.

Jackson, alone, writes, accusing the majority of "privileging the bald assertion of unconstrained executive power over countless families’ pleas ..."

@dan613 @aaron.rupar @tchambers sure but politicians today are so crooked, they won't stay bought! You keep having to reup! And don't get me started on what the Supreme Court expects!
Simplicity: this guy broke longstanding Senate procedure and denied Barrack Obama two nominees on the #SupremeCourt.
#Joe doesn't need to change any laws. He simply nominates two justices to the court right now, and pushes them through the Senate.
It is within his purview, and totally legal – and, though it would break recent precedent again, it would do so less egregiously than #MitchMcConnel did in denying the 44th president his deserved nominees, creating our present chaos.
