NEWS: The Supreme Court allows Trump’s plan to limit birthright citizenship to move forward—for now. The justices didn’t rule on the policy itself but lifted nationwide blocks, letting it take effect in states that didn’t sue to stop it.

Supreme court is corrupt and 6 of them are in the Maga cult.
If oreaident have ultimatr powers why is the supreme court tell Biden it was illegal to give students loans relief. Billionaires own these suoreme court judgws. They ruled its legal to receive rvs , homes, trups from billionaires.
What’s the point of having the Supreme Court? They are now effectively worthless. He will do whatever he wants and no one will stop him . Hope money is worth it
Isn’t this bad for their marines on the ground in California won’t apply to other states? Goes both ways.… hopefully birthright citizenships gets emergency hearing on the merits soon?
Congrats USA. Now you will find out how it feels like living in the middle age under an evil king. When he dies there is already the next in line waiting. As he promised: you will Never Need to vote again. So so sad
No one’s rights should depend on where they live. Welcome to American Apartheid where your ethnicity, gender, and sexual orientation may limit your freedoms depending on the state you reside in or pass through. #Gilead #AmericanNaziParty
“And so I come full circle on this response and just want to encourage you with some substance that we are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.”
Pete was right but, in truth, I don't think we had enough majority to get it through which says more about the dumbasses like Manchin & Sinema & Schumer than about Joe.
Biden couldn't "expand the Court." It's up to Congress to set the size of the Court. It's in Section 1 of the Judiciary Act. A bill to change the number would have been filibustered and would have failed.
Didn’t the Supreme Court give the power to do what Trump wants. Biden should have used their own ruling against them. Just add more. Trump would done it in a heartbeat. I’m tired of playing nice!
No, SCOTUS didn't give any POTUS the power "to do what he wants." The ruling exempted former P's from criminal prosecution for official acts. That doesn't validate current acts.
Say Biden issued some (invalid) order to expand the Court. Would his nominees need to be confirmed? They wouldn't be.
Then remove the fillibuster: or, at least, remove the silent fillibuster.
Legislative deadlock at the federal level for 40 years is not healthy for a functional government. And party-line loyalty means the deadlock is structural.
If there's no filibuster, the current horrid budget bill will all its improper provisions that have no business being in a budget bill would pass because it wouldn't need 60 votes. Be careful what you wish for.
I am not American and live in Australia. But it is strange to me that there seems not to be a separation of powers between the executive and the judiciary when it comes to the Supreme Court of the USA. There must have been a reason when the system was set up
The Federalist Society Six Justices have created their own Supreme Court.
Dissenting opinions by Sotomayor, Jackson and Kagan wind up on the cutting room floor in the basement of the SC building. They won’t make it to the National Archives.
If the Trump regime got their way with eliminating birthright citizenship, wouldn't that mean that none of Trump's children, except Tiffany, would be U.S. citizens?
I'm just saying I agree this ruling should now be utilized and exploited. If nationwide injunctions by lower courts can't be a thing, then it can't be a thing for MAGA/conservative bullshit either.
They can be a thing, but only for things MAWA/federalist society approved things.
You are trying to legalese around a non-legal problem. The problem is the courts are suborned: their rulings aren't legal problems, the legalese is just an excuse. Fix the suborning of the courts.
This SCOTUS has divided this nation more than any since Dred Scott. We are one term away from separate but equal returning to the law of the land and Roberts invalidating the entirety of the 14A.
Becoming more clear why Trump and MAGA have been so obsessed with their lie that we are being "invaded" by immigrants. One of the exceptions to birthright citizenship is children born into the United States by an invading army. That is why going along with his insane language is so dangerous.
We laughed at Hannibal Lector. But the lies about "emptying the prisons" was communicated to his people. The "invasion" propaganda was repeated and validated by the sane washing media.
The forced Balkanization of the United States being deployed from the top down was not on my Trumpocalypse Bingo card.
I really thought that would come from the bottom up as a panicked tactic to limit the scope of his reach rather than a means for SCOTUS to feverishly maximize it.
Democratic elected officials must find the most obnoxious-to-Republicans way to implement the insane "no nationwide injunctions" ruling. Like, make the 2nd Amendment a dead letter in CA, NY, IL, MA, etc.
I have been feeling the earth moving these past months, and today, it's been an earthquake.
Our country has ended. We can pretend it hasn't, but it has.
So, in many cases, United States citizenship is going to depend on which state you live? Well, that sounds like something that won't cause any problems at all! Phewsh! I was really concerned that the SCOTUS ruling was batshit, unworkable and dangerous.
Again, shit I wouldn't have said a little over 6 months ago.
Celebrating this 4th of July has turned into a day of sadness. By the semiquincentennial, we may need to declare independence from our own government, if not sooner.
I intentionally planned a trip to France so I could be there for both the 4th and the 14th, which is Independence Day in France. Reading the news about the SCOTUS decisions this morning has me wondering how hard it would be to move there.
It is important for SCOTUS to retain the impression of independence. Because the moment that vanishes, so do the RVs, housing for their parents, loans of jets and yachts and holiday homes.
So let me understand, the states were supposed to sue if they wanted the current law to stay in place and not be removed? Does that make sense to anyone?!
So happy SCROTUS has just straight up given up on any semblance of constitutionality. Less confusing that way. Should have listened to Pete, ie expanded the court and added retroactive retirement mandates. But oh no, the old 'phoning it in' Dems poo-pooed that.
One wonders which method of interpretation the majority applied to arrive at this decision.
Textualism? Original meaning? Judicial Precedent? Moral Reasoning? Structuralism?
Or just Party Über Alles?
The Roberts' SCOTUS has so many record-making harm-causing decisions, it deserves a hall of shame.
My god what a bunch of nonsense. Bad enough that we are all on land we stole and killed for. We need to move past this outdated system of nation states and allow human beings to move and settle wherever they wish, especially for their safety due to climate, war, or persecution.
Conservatives always complained about an activist court. These Federalist Society scumbags are just plain rewriting the Constitution. The 14th Amendment is clear. Soon, they will declare your parents improperly nationalized and send people they don't like "deported" and stateless.
But white people immigrants are cool. We only take away rights from brown folk. And women and the poor and children and those damn “illegals”who feed our nation and are trying to make lives better for their families and therefore help their communities. Icky poo!
I fear Trump's ICE will attempt to deport as many ppl born to foreign-born parent on overseas bases, whether parent is citizen or not. On the matter itself, the Supreme Court needs to consider whether it wishes to change this nation's 250-yr citizenship laws by actually stripping established rights.
So the Constitution no longer applies if the president signs an executive order saying it doesn’t. You only get your Consitution-guaranteed rights if your state sues to get them back. Those of us in red states are screwed
Its b
Nonsensical, cowardly and should not be surprising. But, you know, a majority of white voters thought this would be a good idea...and not just once.
Remember this Republicans when a Democratic president gets back and eventually you’ll have no leg to stand on when she wants to take all your rights away😉😉😉😉😉
I’m curious, were you all really expecting the racist hateful six to do anything other than what they just did? I’d love to hear from all of those birthright citizens who voted for Donald Trump thus voting for this. What’s the feels in this moment?🤷🏾♀️
So that gives the Dem and Ind citizens in purple states greater incentive to get their behinds out and vote for Senators and Representatives in their State houses and Congress.
No more sitting out local and statewide elections.
The end will come, not in a fall off a cliff, or a great swallowing of the earth - but in a walk down a gentle slope as the sun sets, and the last murmuration of birds takes to the sky
The Supreme Court says lower courts can’t decide what is Constitutional but a man who said ‘I don’t know’ when asked about upholding the Constitution can????
Yup, The courts in Texas can’t stop by injunction what happens in California’s courts, laws passed or any Blue state for that matter! Am I reading this right?! So basically we’re gonna have a hodgepodge of different laws in each state because of this ruling. Red state living gonna really suck?
50 states means 50 little independent sets of laws unless you consider the rulings are by district, then it will be 94 separate and unique sets of laws. What could go wrong?
All you have to do is change your political party to Republican and they won’t bother you. The fact they are not really interpreting the law and allowing the administration to apply as they see fit means just like attacking blue cities it’s about weeding out their enemies and any potential descent.
Being a Republican isn't going to protect anyone. How many times have we seen headlines from Trump supporters moaning that they didn't think he meant them.
Not if they are white. Have you seen any big ICE raids on the enclaves of undocumented white people, such as the large Eastern European communities in various states? Have you seen the revocation of green cards for any of the white immigrants? Barron Trump meets the criteria, but I think he's safe.
The conservative justices have proven themselves to be actively destroying the Constitution. The president has zero authority to eliminate a constitutional right that is clearly documented. Only Congress and the approval of 3/4 of the States can alter the Constitution.
is Scotus telling us only they can make far reaching changes to the law and the Constitution? Are they saying only a sitting President can? What happened to for the people and by the people?
Compromised since Gore/Bush, corrupted since Citizen's United, Trump is pulling back the curtain on SCOTUS with this showing the illegitimacy of the current court and the necessity of comprehensive reform in order to restore consitutional balance of power and restore democracy.
💯 I agree, I think Bush Gore was the first time for me that I realized how partisan the supreme Court was and began to be disturbed about the balance of power in our federal government, but it didn't happen in a vacuum and it didn't happen by accident the deregulation in the 80's def opened the box.
John Roberts = Roger B. Taney. When he told us that his job was to call balls & strikes, he neglected to tell us that he would be secretly be throwing every game for the Red Team.
We no longer have a "supreme" court. What we have is a clearly unconstitutional partisan right wing racist group of trumpian ass kissers that will gain them nothing but contempt from far more American citizens then those applauding their baised narrow minded rulings that will die along with them.
The laziest most chick shit, gutless, spineless SCOTUS in my lifetime. I’m holding the MAGA judges and Turtle accountable for that. And to a much much lesser degree RGB. I do miss her.
The Constitution of the United States and its fully ratified Amendments are explicitly clear. It is blatantly obvious that this Court is corrupt, and we, the citizens of the US no longer have a legitimate government. We have lost the independence of the 3 branches, and are being ruled by a dictator
Being that the corrupt Supreme Court will be on "summer break", leaving the citizens of this country with no relief or court representation, sure sounds like it's time for citizens to peacefully protest en masse outside the Supreme's homes non-stop, and give THEM the same level of relief we have.
“That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government…”
Some states are trying their best to uphold the Constitution, while others are trying their best to aid the MAGA regime and its compliant Supreme Court in overturning it.
This is a coup...I wish Democrats, when they had the chance, would have done more to stop these people. Instead, they treated it like a one-off. I'm starting to think it's too late.
So, SOME states (the red ones) can refuse to recognize birthright citizenship, while the rest (Constitution respecting) states can honor it? How is that gonna work out? Will blue state residents need passports to enter red states? Gonna be confusing as hell.
The notion that folks can be citizens in one part of the nation and not in another because of some arbitrary executive order “opinion” about the constitution is absurd on its face
Don't go back !

Birthright citizenship is explicitly guaranteed to anyone born under the legal "jurisdiction" of the U.S. federal government by the Citizenship Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution (adopted July 9, 1868).
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.
Talk about usurping power and then using it to hurt the weakest, this is no court. You could open alito, Thomas, Barrett‘s, gorsuch, roberts and the rapist’s brains and you wouldn’t find anything that remotely resembles ‘unbiased’ thought
America/Americans - You have no other choices now, a People’s Revolution is the ONLY way to stop your country sliding into Anarchy and Authoritarianism!
You outnumber the Fascists 1,000:1 so the people HAVE to take control!
You have 400+ million guns so USE THEM!
You have no other choice!
Chuck @schumer.senate.gov will give McConnel such a nice farewell speech.
Why Chuck, why?
Never forget what Mitch did to our supreme court, treat him like the low life he is chuck, grow a pair on your last years in office, speak your real opinions like the true New Yorker we thought you were.

Trump can now do all sorts of illegal shit and no court can stop him except for SCOTUS
While over 90% of Judges across America rule AGAINST Trump
In over 90% of their rulings, these 6 Christo-Fascist MFers vote FOR Trump
The ruling “is an existential threat to the Rule of Law”

That Biden didn’t expand the court is classic Dem MO.
These fuckers didnt just get the football—they took it and went to another time
Seriously. We are cooked. This court will destroy us.
Say Biden issued some (invalid) order to expand the Court. Would his nominees need to be confirmed? They wouldn't be.
Legislative deadlock at the federal level for 40 years is not healthy for a functional government. And party-line loyalty means the deadlock is structural.
"Nobody does nothing" isn't a solution to disliking your opposition's ideas.
And cramming them in a budget bill instead of passing them on their merits is worse.
There are more of us than there are of them!
Will they strictly interpret the constitution or write new law from the bench to please Trump.
Dissenting opinions by Sotomayor, Jackson and Kagan wind up on the cutting room floor in the basement of the SC building. They won’t make it to the National Archives.
What matters is what the federalist society and the generous "friends" of the court say. Not anything else.
SCOTUS is corrupt. We have massive bribes on record and they say "those are allowed".
I refuse to succumb to doomerism
You are trying to legalese around a non-legal problem. The problem is the courts are suborned: their rulings aren't legal problems, the legalese is just an excuse. Fix the suborning of the courts.

We are a failing nation.

Remove abortion, birth control, a woman’s rights including voting rights…
Our country has ended. We can pretend it hasn't, but it has.
FUK Amy Coney Barrett regarding her co-equal BS dissent!! 🤬🖕
Let's use 🍊💩's own words against him, "fight like hell, if you want to have a country!" 🤬💪🤷

Republicans no longer believe that following the Constitution is required of them.
Only Democrats are required to follow laws.
SCOTUS created a fucking King
So Red States: You’re Born There with NO LEGAL Rights.
Blue States that Sued: Legal Rights as US Citizens.
Yeah nothing could possibly go wrong with this scenario! 🤦♂️
FUCK SCOTUS & TRUMP!
Nonsensical, cowardly and should not be surprising. But, you know, a majority of white voters thought this would be a good idea...and not just once.
It’s clearly stated in the Constitution, no law degree or interpretation needed!
Fuck this goddamn Supreme Court - they are fucking NAZIS.
No more sitting out local and statewide elections.
