#SCOTUS’ #BirthrightCitizenship opinion is looong.
Mostly the #dissent by Justice #ClarenceThomas & joined by #Gorsuch. The majority opinion is 26 pages long, Thomas’s dissent runs to 91 pages.
Imagine being that freaking #racist.

#SCOTUS rebuffs #AlanDershowitz $300 million suit against #CNN
The Supreme Court refused Monday to revive the attorney’s #defamation lawsuit against CNN over its coverage of remarks he made while defending #Trump during his 2020 #impeachment.
Justices Neil #Gorsuch & #ClarenceThomas dissented from the majority decision, saying legal standards for public figures who claim defamation should be reconsidered.

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. -

Sometimes though, it actually is easy to identify them.

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.

Justice #ClarenceThomas, writing for the 5 conservative justices, said the federal #law that generally shields the #PostalService from lawsuits over missing, lost & undelivered #mail includes “the intentional nondelivery of mail.”
In dissent, Justice Sonia #Sotomayor wrote that while the protection against lawsuits is broad, it does not extend to situations when the decision not to deliver mail “was driven by #malicious reasons.” Justice Neil #Gorsuch joined his 3 liberal colleagues in dissent.

#Trump thanked Justices #ClarenceThomas, Samuel #Alito & Brett #Kavanaugh by name “for their strength & wisdom & love of our country” for dissenting from the majority.
Of the other conservatives justices who voted to knock down his tariffs — Chief Justice #JohnRoberts & Justices #AmyConeyBarrett & Neil #Gorsuch — Trump said, “they’re just being fools & lapdogs for the RINOs & radical left Democrats.”
Trump said they were “very unpatriotic & disloyal to our Constitution.”

“At this preliminary stage, the government has failed to identify a source of #authority that would allow the #military to execute the laws in #Illinois,” the court said in its unsigned order.
And of course, Conservative Justices Samuel #Alito, #ClarenceThomas & Neil #Gorsuch dissented.

Justices #ClarenceThomas & Neil #Gorsuch said they were eager to go further. The 1935 precedent, Justice Thomas wrote, “poses a direct threat to our constitutional structure &, as a result, the liberty of the American people.”
In its recent emergency orders, #SCOTUS has also signaled that it is now poised to give the president more direct #power over the multimember commissions as well.

For the first time in the hearing, Justice #ClarenceThomas speaks. He had no questions for Trump’s Solicitor General John Sauer.
Thomas with the help of #Gorsuch asks whether #Congress can create commissions of multimember agencies with presidential secretaries at their top, with differing firing powers.
Pretty sure Congress just let out a collective groan at that prospect.
This would be asking them to restructure government.

#Corrupt #SupremeCourt #Justices #SamuelAlito and #ClarenceThomas Show #Contradictory #Stances This Term
In under a week, Justices Alito and Thomas have demonstrated how their #ideology and ties to their #benefactors shape their #legal #judgments—often in #hypocritical and #contradictory ways.

I missed this Friday.
MSNBC's #AlexWagner reported on the collapse of 3 big #ConspiracyTheory media outlets, #AlexJones' #InfoWars, Dinesh D'Souza's #SalemMedia Group, and #China's #EpochTimes all crashing & burning (just watching Jones far apart in a blubbering mental breakdown is worth watching.)
Followed by #SCotUS #ClarenceThomas being forced to admit to accepting millions in bribes. 🤔 #NotYourFathersGOP #VoteBlue https://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/watch/watch-alex-wagner-tonight-highlights-june-7-212563013744

#ClarenceThomas's #Corruption Finally Has A #PriceTag - he got just under $6M in gifts while on #SCOTUS. It’s easy to miss the details of the lavish gifts and splashy #luxe travel accommodations and not grasp the scope of the gifts #SCOTUS has been getting. Well, the good folks at Fix the Court (FTC) have compiled the gifts bestowed upon the justices over the last 20 years https://abovethelaw.com/2024/06/clarence-thomas-corruption-finally-has-a-price-tag/ #democracy #courts #SupremeCourt #financialdisclosures #ethics #legalresearch

#ClarenceThomas: "In very simple terms, if you are a public servant you can't take #FreeStuff, it is as simple as that. If you want free stuff don't be a public servant. But guess what? When you are not a #PublicServant, people don't want give you free stuff" - @BarbMcQuade w/ @NicolleDWallace #SCOTUS #corruption #FinancialDisclosure #EthicsRules #Judiciary #LegalResearch #FinancialSystem
