Review of #SupremeCourt 2024-25 Term
Legal commentators working in the #media and #academia reviewed the Supreme Court's 2024-25 term. They discussed outcomes from some key cases, including the Supreme Court upholding Tennessee's law banning #transgender medical treatments for minors, allowing states to cut #Medicaid funding from Planned Parenthood, and limiting district courts' use of nationwide #injunctions.

C-SPAN · Review of Supreme Court 2024-25 TermBy C-SPAN

The MAGA era
— and the three latest Trump appointees to the Court
— has resulted in a new, gruesome project:
❌giving Trump whatever he wants.

🔥This toxic combination of bigotry and fealty has created a Court that uses all its might to attack the less powerful
while coddling those who already have it all — particularly Donald Trump.

It’s a Court with a very clear vision of who matters and who needs protection.

The majority opinion in "Trump v. CASA", the birthright citizenship case,
was honestly inevitable,
a culmination of all the ways in which the conservative justices have warped the Court in order to serve Trump.

Indeed, the Court’s previous term will go down in infamy as the one in which they gave Trump permission to do whatever he wants
by inventing sweeping #presidential #immunity.

One year later, Trump needed his reliable pals on the Supreme Court to step in on the #birthright #citizenship case
because four federal district courts and three federal appeals courts had enjoined him from implementing his executive order eliminating birthright citizenship.

That shouldn’t be a surprise, or even remotely controversial.

There’s simply no world where an executive order can undo the Fourteenth Amendment’s guarantee of birthright citizenship
-- and since the order was so obviously unconstitutional, the lower courts issued universal, or #nationwide, #injunctions to block the policy.

Those nationwide injunctions stopped Trump from stripping citizenship from babies,
even in states that were eager to let him do so.

Twenty conservative states filed an amicus brief urging the Court to let Trump’s executive order go into effect.

But the conservatives on the Court couldn't face grappling with whether Trump’s executive order was unconstitutional.

Indeed, they very much want you to know that the administration’s requests did not ask the Court to rule on the birthright citizenship issue at all. Heavens, no.

This is just about whether lower courts can issue universal, or nationwide, injunctions.

This is, to put it charitably,
⭐️a self-serving lie,
a way for the conservatives to soothe themselves,
to pretend they aren’t responsible for Trump turning the immense machinery of his immigration crackdown on literal babies.

No, all they did was strip the lower courts of the ability to issue universal injunctions.

Of course, once those injunctions are narrowed,
the administration is free to proceed on its plans to deprive babies of citizenship anywhere the narrower injunctions don’t apply

Public Notice · A corrupted Supreme Court sinks to new lowsBy Lisa Needham

Interesting informed commentary on Trump v CASA. (Source withheld, and further paraphrased here, because it was posted privately but its key point bears repeating.)

Much has been reported on this decision as supposedly greenlighting the effective end of
#birthright #citizenship by blocking the #nationwide #injunctions and forcing each separate person harmed to individually sue. But critically, that's not actually what the decision said.

Paraphrased and distilled, what the majority opinion said is that the birthright citizenship question is not ripe for SCOTUS review yet, but the nationwide injunctions are problematic
because the lower courts failed to properly document exhaustive examination of possible lesser remedies and how they all fail to deliver complete relief. The Supreme Court therefore remanded the case back to the lower courts and gave them 30 days to complete that full documentation of examination, in order to rigorously show that a nationwide injunction is actually necessary. "This is the big gun; if you're going to use it, you need to meticulously dot every i and cross every t in your explanation of why you pulled it out, and you didn't."

Of particular note, Amy Coney Barrett essentially said, "Look, we agree that this is
absolutely necessary, but you need to document that properly and show your work. Come back when you've done that, and the Court will be on your side."

The majority, however slim, on the Supreme Court are not opposed to the invocation of nationwide injunctions to protect birthright citizenship. What the Court objected to was
failing to properly show the necessity of those nationwide injunctions. It's an important distinction.

«Less than 3 hours aftr the #MAGA #SupremeCourt ruled 6-3 that no fed judge has power 2 almost ever issue nationwide #injunctions in context of #BirthrightCitizenship attack by #Trump, the plaintiffs counsel filed new motion for temporary injunction & to certify a class 2 get the #birthright citizenship issue back up 2 #SCOTUS as fast as humanly possible. Popok explains how this is exactly what #Sotomayor & even #Kavanaugh told them 2 do in their separate opinions»

#Drumpf #DOJ suing all 15 judges on the #Maryland #federal court bench over imposition of mandatory 2 day delay policy in any #Habeas cases, a recent policy change that allows attorneys on either side time to properly prepare for #deportation hearings.

The #PamBondi run #Justice department is opposed to regional circuit court's order requiring clerks to place temporary administrative #injunctions in any case brought by an alleged "illegal immigrant" challenging a detention.

Bondi's legal attack squad particularly angered by courts move to impose a delay, "Congress has stripped federal courts of #jurisdiction to hear “any cause or claim by or on behalf of any alien arising from the decision or action by the #AttorneyGeneral to commence proceedings, adjudicate cases, or execute removal orders against any alien,” the DOJ said citing the #Immigration and Nationality Act.

Fox News · Trump DHS sues entire bench of federal judges in Maryland district court over automatic injunctionsBy Ashley Oliver

The SCOTUS case is not about Birthright Citizenship. It’s about defanging lower courts by killing off injunctions. “Trump’s attack on birthright citizenship is obviously unconstitutional, and there are no good-faith arguments for his position.”

Vox · The Supreme Court’s birthright citizenship case isn’t really about birthright citizenshipBy Ian Millhiser

With an assist from @lawdorknews.bsky.social, I have updated my post from Wednesday about challenges to Russel Vought’s attempt to dismiss up to 90% of the CFPB’s employees. D.C. Circuit upholds the District Court’s stay on the action, with former White House counsel during Trump 1.0 joining the majority.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has survived the first 100 days of the new Administration’s term with the help of Judge Amy Berman Jackson, who sees the latest RIF (correctly) as an attempt to prevent the CFPB from performing its statutorily-mandated functions

CA #AttorneyGeneral updates taxpayers on recent legal challenges he has staff filing against #DJT #WreckingBall operations that are destroying lives of students at schools cut off from previously awarded grant money, as well as tens of thousands impacted as US govt workers are illegally terminated through no fault of their own. Their abrupt, pretextual firings have already caused a 149% increase in state #unemployment benefit claims by federal workers in #California alone.

CA's #DOJ secured two important preliminary #injunctions this week against the #WhiteHouse. One prevents the #Drumpf Admin from freezing near $3 trillion in vital federal #funding intended for public #safety, #healthcare, childcare, and #infrastructure projects before the case is heard.

See a list of recent actions of California Dept of Justice has taken to defend citizens from abuses of power, unwarranted persecution and firings by federal authorities, some are highlighted as news released at their official state website.
