>Of his SCotUS six, they voted 4-2 against the Constitution.
>The *first judges in the country* to side with Stephen Miller's fever dream, are on the Supreme Court of the USA(!)

"SCOTUS saved the 14th Amendment."
This is how the decision is already being characterized in virtually every forum
"saved"
No such thing happened
Alito (and Roberts) took as big a bite out of the 14th Amendment as they dared on first approach, but left the final coup de grace for later when everyone has moved on with their lives and gone back to sleep
Have no doubt: #Alito and #Roberts et al will be back for the kill after everything has settled down

OMG. Nina Totenberg’s explanation of what happened with the #Alito retirement (non-)announcement is stark. She fucked up based on mishearing a 3rd party’s brief statement. She KNOWS she fucked up, she is eagerly self-flagellating and insisting on taking the entire blame.
Shockingly bad reporting praxis, especially for such an experienced professional. It is good that she recognized her sole responsibility, because what editor is going to question Nina Totenberg’s SCOTUS reporting?

Alito's argument against birthright citizenship makes no sense. He can't read plain English.
"The Fourteenth Amendment confers citizenship on only those children who, at birth, owe allegiance solely to this country,” he said.
The Constitution criteria is said, "subject to the jurisdiction" of the United States, not some subjective evaluation of allegiance.
Pretty much anybody within our borders can be arrested, fined, or convicted of a crime with due process (except maybe a few folks with diplomatic immunity) so everybody here, legally or illegally, are subject to US jurisdiction.
Alito is making a Trumpist argument, but not a rational evidence-based one.

#SCOTUS says Alito’s snark to #Sotomayor was a ‘misunderstanding’
The statement came a day after a tense exchange between the 2 when Sotomayor, the court’s senior liberal, publicly read a dissent in a case involving a #Trump policy of turning #asylum seekers away at the border.
#Alito, a conservative who was supposed to summarize the next opinion, instead said, “There’s much that I would have added to my bench statement had I known there would be a dissent read.”

Writing for the conservative majority, #Alito said:
1) Courts can't review determinations made by #DHS on whether to terminate or extend #TPS.
2) The plaintiffs' statements weren't “overtly racial," including Trump's baseless accusations that Haitian immigrants ate (American) people's cats & dogs 👀
(Wow)

Justice Brett #Kavanaugh & Chief Justice #JohnRoberts broke from their #conservative colleagues in siding with Pitchford.
Justice Neil M. #Gorsuch wrote a dissenting opinion, joined by Justices #ClarenceThomas, Samuel A. #Alito Jr. & #AmyConeyBarrett.
“Put simply, Mr. Pitchford’s account of a muzzled defense team is hard to square with the record. But even if it were a plausible account, that still would not be enough,” Gorsuch wrote. -

FOR YEARS, SCotUS would force black & brown people to vote in unfair systems because it was too close to an election.
NOW, SCotUS sees their fav fascists about to lose this election, and they not only HALT AN ELECTION IN PROGRESS but they tell LA, others, go ahead, we won't stop you, hurry (to stop the whites from losing)!
And he has the gall to claim they're not policital?

Graham Platner said: “If we held Supreme Court justices to the exact same standards we hold federal judges, there is a compelling case for the impeachment and removal of at least two. But to make that happen, we need to elect people to the Senate that want to wield power like that, who understand that it’s real and you can use it”:

Today the Roberts Court spits on graves of hundreds of thousands who died for the idea that black people are people.
The Civil War really was a thing.
But Uncle #ClarenceThomas won't be happy until he can't vote.

In the #Trump era, #JohnRoberts & the other conservative justices have repeatedly empowered the president through their #ShadowDocket rulings. By contrast, the papers reveal a court wielding those same powers to block #Obama. Justice Samuel A. #Alito Jr. warned that if the court failed to stop the president, its own “institutional legitimacy” would be threatened.

Check this guy's credits, he's the real deal. "We’re not just in a constitutional crisis. We’re in a corruption crisis. And the Supreme Court isn’t the solution. It’s the heart of the problem."
Gives steps, how to fight: 1) Stop calling SCOTUS neutral, or thinking they'll save us. 2) Stop calling Tr^mp judges conservative. 3) Tell #Congress to fight.

The #JohnRoberts court has repeatedly gutted the #VRA & if it were to rule that it is unconstitutional for states to draw districts that allow voters of color to elect their candidates of choice that would essentially spell the death of the country’s most important #CivilRights #law. Based on his opinions in other major voting rights cases & his concurrence in the NY case, #Alito seems certain to kill the VRA outright or narrow it to the point of irrelevancy.
-
Court watchers speculate that #Alito, because he has not authored an opinion from the court’s term last October, is writing the majority opinion in a hugely important case the court has yet to rule on concerning the constitutionality of the last remaining section of the #VotingRightsAct. If that’s the case, the #VRA — and by extension, the fate of American #democracy — will be in very, very bad shape.
