Popok explains how this is exactly what #Sotomayor & even #Kavanaugh told them 2 do in their separate opinions»
Just hours after the #MAGA #SupremeCourt ruled 6–3 to gut #federal #judges’ #power to issue #nationwide #injunctions, #lawyers challenging #Trump attack on #birthright #citizenship filed a new #motion for a #temporary #injunction and to certify a #nationwide class—doing exactly what Justice #Sotomayor and even Justice #Kavanaugh said they still could. #plaintiffs https://michaelpopok.substack.com/p/update-plaintiffs-fire-back-after #law #constitution #democracy
#Kavanaugh writes majority opinion. #ClarenceThomas dissents. He contends that the majority erroneously relied on a new theory that the government "invented" on appeal.
#Kavanaugh's concurring opinion notes that district courts do not have the last word on preliminary #injunction requests -- courts of #appeals & #SCOTUS can also weigh in, & "that order of operations will not change." [which is why they should have the ability to apply nationwide & the power to rule an executive action is illegal. FFS]

Justice Brett M. #Kavanaugh, who could have supplied the fourth vote needed to add the case to the court’s docket, issued a statement saying the question was significant & could soon warrant review but that he hoped additional opinions from lower courts could assist the justices on the issue. He wrote that #SCOTUS “should & presumably will address the #AR15 issue soon, in the next term or two.”
Notably, #Kavanaugh issued a concurring opinion saying,
“I would prefer not to remand to the lower courts & further put off this Court’s final resolution of the critical legal issues. Rather,… I would grant certiorari, order prompt briefing, hold oral argument soon thereafter, and then resolve the legal issues.”

The conservative justices asked why a #religious #CharterSchool was different from a religiously run food bank or adoption agency that receives state government money through contract agreements.
Justice Brett #Kavanaugh signaled his support for St. Isidore’s application, saying that excluding religious #schools from the charter school program “seems like rank discrimination.”

Conservative Justices ask how a #religious #CharterSchool differs from a food bank.
At least 3 conservative #SCOTUS members—Chief Justice #JohnRoberts, Justice Brett #Kavanaugh & Justice Neil #Gorsuch —suggested to the lawyer for #Oklahoma’s AG that his position was inconsistent with a key past ruling.
In that case, known as Fulton v. City of Philadelphia, the court said Philadelphia had violated the #Constitution by not extending a foster-care services contract to #Catholic Social Services.
Justice Brett #Kavanaugh seemed to try to help the #school’s atty by getting him to respond to concerns raised by Justice #Sotomayor. “You’re not saying the state can favor one #religion over another?” Kavanaugh asked.
In response, atty James Campbell assured #SCOTUS that no #student in #Oklahoma is forced to attend a #CharterSchool. “There are plenty of other options,” he said.

The second episode of Dark Money Games by Alex Gibney on HBO features journalist Jane Mayer discussing the conservative Christian agents Leonard Leo and his puppet Supreme Court justices overturning human rights, rule of law and US constitutional democracy. Some of this is based on the recent Court reporting by ProPublica. Ideal for your high school civics class.

"It's the men who appear to have let their emotions — whether it's unjustified fear of immigrants or an unwillingness to cross Trump — interfere with rational decision-making." #AmandaMarcotte in today's #Salon column
This exchange between #RichardGrenell, interim head of the #KennedyCenter, and musician #YasminWilliams, demonstrates the accuracy of her claim. She's calm; he's unhinged. It's the men (think #Kavanaugh, #StephenMiller [if you dare]) who are irrational.

#SCOTUS ruled that under #civil #RICO #law a plaintiff may seek treble damages for business or property loss even if the loss resulted from #PersonalInjury. It’s a win for truck driver Douglas Horn who was fired when he failed a drug test after taking a tincture that said it only contained #CBD.
Opinion from #AmyConeyBarrett, 5-4, in #MedicalMarijuana, Inc v Horn. #ClarenceThomas filed a dissent. Brett #Kavanaugh filed a dissent, joined by #JohnRoberts, & Samuel #Alito.
Former public policy executive from #NewZealand accused #Kavanaugh's best friend #JoelKaplan and was subsequently fired. And now, #Zuckerberg's #Facebook (now known as #Meta) is trying to get her book banned. Would be a shame if #StreisandEffect applied.

#QuoteOfTheDay! From 2018!
"But for [#SusanCollins], a #prochoice #Republican, the decision to put a man accused of sexual assault on the Supreme Court runs a political — and personal — risk. For her, it comes down to believing that #Kavanaugh will uphold #RoeVsWade." SUCKER!!!

#Alito is a liar; #ClarenceThomasForSale
#Kavanaugh is a liar; #DonaldTrump is a liar. #SCOTUS has both a #Corruption and #Ethics problem. Recusal is not a resolution to crimes against oath of office or federal law.
