SCOTUS: sponsored by Harlan Crow

[unofan]

12 cases left this term, all are relatively "big" though some are related issues and one decision will inform the other.

Got some coming in about 5 minutes, presume the rest will come Monday and Tuesday next week.

My guesses (unless otherwise noted, 6-3 means party line vote)

Slaughter and Cook - can Trump fire independent agency heads without cause? (My guess is 6-3 yes on Slaughter, 7-2 no on Cook, with some completely illogical and arbitrary twist to exempt the Fed in Cook).

FEC - is the prohibition on coordination of election spending unconstitutional? (my guess is 6-3 yes)

Hecox & BPJ - transgender athlete cases. Guessing they side with the restrictions, but no clue on the vote.

Lopez - gun rights versus property rights. No clue on the vote here.

Watson - mail in votes. 6-3 for the restrictions

Barbara - birthright citizenship. 7-2 against Trump.

+ a few more

First one today says Monsanto didn't have to add a cancer label to roundup. 7-2 with Jackson and Gorsuch dissenting.

 

[unofan]

Alito has 3 cases today. First is Lopez. Gun rights trump property rights. 6-3.

Of course Corporations trump "life" in any equation.

2nd is an immigration case. 6-3 against the immigrants.

 

[unofan]

Sotomayor reading from her dissent in the immigration case, so still waiting for the 3rd Alito decision today...

That also tracks. Immigrants are sub-human so they obviously have less rights.

Hilarious, but not surprising. Protect the corporation at all costs, it's the American Way™.

So basically, a private business owner or homeowner can no longer tell an open carry asshole to keep his peashooter in his lifted F-150?

Fun. Can't wait to see guns everywhere in restaurants and bars.

Last one is Syrian/Haitian TPS status case. 6-3 against the immigrants.

Cool. Send them all back and foment more hatred for this country full of retards.

Again. Subhuman. Send them to Gitmo. That decision is beyond evil.

It's a little more nuanced. Hawaii has a law containing a presumption that guns are not allowed on private property open to the public unless the property owner affirmatively allows them.

Court says the 2A requires the opposite: guns are presumed allowed unless the property owner affirmatively prohibits them.

 

[unofan]

Oh shit, Alito apparently snapped at Sotomayor from the bench after she read from her dissent.

Such a nasty little man.

Seems reasonable to me. Also, if you own a gun you may never enter my house unless you're a cop and then only with a warrant.

Weak people fear strong people.

 

[FadeToBlack&Gold]

I'm surprised Thomas didn't join in the fun. But then again, the boy knows his place.

 

[Kepler]

1. Sweep 2026 and 2028.
2. Radically reorganize the Federal Judiciary.
3. Unwind the last 50 years of right wing terror.
