I'm writing this post in high dudgeon because what the Court endorsed today is unamerican and contemptuous not just of the role of the judiciary but also of the responsibility we have as a nation to those in our custody and those we subject to punishment.

We don't have a functioning democracy anymore. The sooner people understand this, the better.
#SCOTUS needs to be gutted and rebuilt with a larger quorum of justices from a much more stringent vetting process.
This just cannot stand
I believe America can be better than this. MUST be better than this.
I'm not a lawyer, so I'm confused on a higher level.
(Also thank you for this thread, I felt your anger which is helping keep ME calm)
Running for office? Sure, but that’ll take a while and who knows if we have free/fair elections at national level.
One-off protests seem pointless

1. this grants stay while appeal is pending
2. the 1st Circuit decision can itself be appealed to SCOTUS
3. If they grant cert then they have to explain their decision (bc cert cases aren’t shadow docket)
These guys are too lazy and stupid to even try anymore.
I had hope until today.
Clearly the emergency here only involved giving Trump something he wanted. No explanation was felt necessary for that.
I was asking related questions here and still haven't had them answered to my satisfaction. (Again, predicting this insane SCOTUS isn't easy, but it's important to figure out what could feasibly come next.)
