Judge Breyer said the violence in #LosAngeles falls "far short" of the "rebellion" #Trump described to justify calling in the #NationalGuard #troops. And he said Trump's use of the #military over the actions of "stray bad actors" was "untenable & dangerous."
The admin has already appealed the decision to the 9th Circuit. This could be at #SCOTUS by tomorrow, at this rate.

The Supreme Court has a pro-Trump double standard—here’s how we fix it https://www.dailykos.com/story/2025/6/12/2327397/-The-Supreme-Court-has-a-pro-Trump-double-standard-here-s-how-we-fix-it?pm_campaign=blog&pm_medium=rss&pm_source= #SCOTUS
Say what you want about #scotus. Today, the court ruled unanimously on the #disability #rights case, A.J.T. v. Osseo Area Schools.
The court has reaffirmed that #students with #disabilities are entitled to an #education free from #discrimination. Discrimination in #schools is plainly illegal, even if it is unintentional.
Additionally, a higher standard of proof is *not* required in education disability rights.

#SCOTUS: making an all-powerful pres. But Trump isn't Interested in the job. If every mem of the exec branch ops acc to the pres' will/pleasure -then voters know who to blame when something goes wrong. Exec power “acquires: legitimacy & accountability to the public thru ‘a clear & effective chain of command’ down from the pres."
In control of all policy decisions made in the exec branch? Impossible -a dangerous abdication: he doesn’t appear to read intel briefs...

"A unanimous Supreme Court said a family whose house was wrongly raided by law enforcement can sue.
At issue is what law enforcement refers to as 'wrong-house raids.' Local, state, or, as in the case before the court, federal officers smash into a private home to find a suspect, but it's the wrong house. That's what happened to Trina Martin, her 7-year-old son Gabe, and Trina's partner, Toi Cliatt, in their Atlanta home in 2017 when they their house was wrongly raided by FBI and SWAT agents who were serving an arrest warrant for a neighbor accused of gang activity."

In celebration of Loving Day, we're sharing "New Hope" by Corita Kent. This serigraph from 1966 is dedicated to Mildred and Richard Loving. At that time the Lovings were plaintiffs in the midst of the Supreme Court case that ultimately struck down states’ bans on interracial marriage the following year on June 12. 1/2

This and making it easier to sue schools over disability issues, is good news, but it feels like tossing us a bone.

From APNews.com: Supreme Court rules for girl with epilepsy in opinion that could affect education access lawsuits
A unanimous Supreme Court said a family whose house was wrongly raided by law enforcement can sue.
At issue is what law enforcement refers to as "wrong-house raids." Local, state, or, as in the case before the court, federal officers smash into a private home to find a suspect, but it's the wrong house.
The Supreme Court on Thursday, in a narrow ruling, made it easier for students with disabilities to sue to enforce their rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act and other laws enacted to ensure that disabled children get appropriate schooling.
Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the unanimous opinion. Justices Clarence Thomas and Sonia Sotomayor wrote separate, concurring opinions — joined, respectively, by Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Ketanji Brown Jackson.
After six more rulings today, here's what's left on #SCOTUS "merits" docket, sorted by how many days it's been since they were argued. By my count, we're looking at another *20* rulings in these cases, plus a ruling on the birthright citizenship emergency applications, before the summer recess:
Sixth (and last) #SCOTUS ruling is in A.J.T. (the case about ADA accommodations).
For a unanimous Court, Chief Justice Roberts holds that there is no heightened requirement for proving these kinds of disability-related claims.
(Of note to some, this is the Lisa Blatt / Roman Martinez case.)

Fifth (but not last) #SCOTUS ruling is in Soto v. United States.
For a unanimous Court, Justice Thomas sides with veterans in a technical, procedural dispute over the length of the period during which they're entitled to retroactive combat-related pay:
