#KatanjiBrownJackson dissents from another unsigned and unexplained #ShadowDocket decision. This one allows the orange fascist felon to deport 300k #Venezuelans who have temporary protected status.

“We once again use our equitable power (but not our opinion-writing capacity) to allow this Administration to disrupt as many lives as possible, as quickly as possible,” Jackson wrote. She points out that her colleagues, rather than prioritizing the harm to 300,000 people, instead privilege “the bald assertion of unconstrained executive power over countless families’ pleas for the stability our Government has promised them.”

“Because, respectfully, I cannot abide our repeated, gratuitous, and harmful interference with cases pending in the lower courts while lives hang in the balance,” she concluded, “I dissent.”

THE MADNESS THAT HAS COME OVER THE JOHN ROBERTS MAGA TRIBUNAL, FORMERLY KNOWN AS THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT
Mastodon Post
Excerpt From an MSNBC Post Attached

This particular thread of the court's insanity has to do with their unitary monarchy theory, which appears nowhere in the United States Constitution. Our nation's founders wanted power spread out. The Roberts court laughs at the idea. Call it a monarchy, call it a dictatorship, it is what the Roberts court wants. Majority Injustices, of course, will lie and say otherwise; but they are, of course, lying.

“I lament that the Court appears to have embarked on a new era of procedural variability, and that it has done so in such a casual, inequitable, and, in my view, inappropriate manner.” #katanjibrownjackson

Justice Katanji Brown Jackson''s comments during today's disqualification hearing included "information" that is totally uninformed and ill-advised. This item, which I am posting here for the third time, completely contradicts what she said today: - that the Disqualification Clause only pertains to states and, thus, does not affect a president. This item quotes from original Senate discussions leading up to passage of the Fourteenth Amendment and its Disqualification Clause. Senate debate most clearly did include presidents and vice presidents.

DISQUALIFICATION CLAUSE AS IT RELATES TO PRESIDENTS AND VICE PRESIDENTS

How Donald Trump Disqualified Himself From Holding Office Ever Again

I am placing this here, belatedly, in hopes of making up for a goof I made in an earlier post. It reports on US Senate debate about what ultimately became Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution.

"This is to go into our Constitution and to stand to govern future insurrection as well as the present; and I should like to have that point definitely understood," Van Winkle said at the time.

It's also worth noting that there was just a single reference in the Senate debate to the fact that the president and vice president were not explicitly mentioned in Howard's draft as "officer(s) of the United States," the way members of Congress and state officials had been itemized in the text. Would the disqualification clause of the amendment not cover the top posts in the executive branch?

"Why did you omit to exclude them?" asked Maryland Democratic Sen. Reverdy Johnson.

Maine's Lot Morrill jumped in to clarify.

"Let me call the Senator's attention to the words 'or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States,'" Morrill said, ending the discussion on that point.

It is being used to challenge Trump in some states from being on the ballot.

This seems really clear to me. It ought to be equally clear to the United States Supreme Court, unless justices "step up" to serve Donald Trump instead of the American people and the Constitution.
