#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. -

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.

If there were ever a #DEI hire, it was #ClarenceThomas, the least qualified appointee to the #SupremeCourt in my lifetime, making even #BrettKavanaugh seem astute and reasoned. Thomas is a corrupt, ill-educated, misogynist who wishes he could bleach his skin and wear a hood. #GeorgeHWBush nominated him because he was the only black man he could find who would kiss ass for power.

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.”

#SCOTUS’ decision was 6-3.
Justices #ClarenceThomas, Samuel #Alito & Brett #Kavanaugh dissented.
Writing for the majority, Chief Justice #JohnRoberts said the #statute does not authorize the president to impose #tariffs.“The president asserts the extraordinary power to unilaterally impose tariffs of unlimited amount, duration, & scope. In light of the breadth, history, & constitutional context of that asserted authority, he must identify clear congressional authorization to exercise it.”

"In a 6-3 decision, the #SupremeCourt #SCOTUS holds that International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) – a 1977 statute which grants the president authority to regulate or prohibit certain international transactions during a national emergency – does not authorize the president to impose the #tariffs "

Trump's fitness to lead, in light of the Epstein files:
A passenger airplane pilot.
What's a reasonable level of confidence that that pilot will be fit to complete the flight safely?99,999 in a hundred thousand?
That'd have you ok with one pilot somewhere on Earth every day being unfit to fly safely.After seeing Epstein files extracts, what confidence do you have that Donald Trump is a fit person to lead the USA?

SCOTUS Says Trump Can’t Commandeer Illinois National Guard Troops

“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.

As Chris Geidner says, Supreme justice Gorsuch dares to lecture the rest of us on how we deal with ethical issues when it comes out that his colleague Clarence Thomas has taken more expensive trips on Sugar Daddy Harlan Crow's tab, which he never disclosed, though he's required by law to do so.
Some ethics.

"It’s also notable that neither Justice Clarence Thomas nor Justice Samuel Alito, both of whom have accepted expensive gifts from politically active Republican billionaires, recused themselves from the case. Thomas and Alito both joined Kavanaugh’s opinion reading the anti-corruption statute narrowly."

"Bow wow wow and yippie-yo-yippie-yay, whip open those checkbooks, boys! If you billionaires liked the way your Justices ruled this year, or appreciate how your governor or mayor steered contracts your way, it sure would be nice if you left them an appreciative tip so they can buy extra beer this summer, just saying!
Disgusting."
