Chief Justice John Roberts on Wednesday paused a court-imposed midnight deadline that would have required the Trump administration to release $2 billion in frozen foreign aid, a goal that the government has claimed it is unable to meet.

How is the government unable to meet a $2B obligation, given all the savings DOGE has uncovered?  I smell a rat!

He’s trying to buy himself some time to figure out how to write an opinion that doesn’t reveal SCOTUS as having rendered itself completely impotent.

Too late pal, that ship sailed with the immunity decision.

Is the Supreme Court going to take over the Dellinger case to keep the constitutional separation of powers or just let a random district judge decide who the president can or can't fire?

If he works for the executive but the executive can't fire him, who can?

So, you are fine with one person being above the law? Because there are laws that protect federal employees.

just wonderful ....

A 5-4 Supreme Court ruled the Environmental Protection Agency CANNOT employ generic, water body-focused pollution discharge limits to Clean Water Act permit holders, and must use source-specific ones.
(San Francisco v. EPA, 23-753)

BREAKING: The Supreme Court just weakened the Clean Water Act's limitations on raw sewage discharge into our water in a 5-4 ruling.

Tell me genius, what does "executive power" mean?

And contrast with this:

The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States; but all duties, imposts and excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;

Somewhat surprisingly, ACB does not seem on board with enhancing executive power.

Alito's dissent is one of the most disingenuous supreme court writings I have ever read.  Especially contrasted with some of his writings on shadow docket decisions against the Biden administration.

I just assumed years ago that Alito sat around every night getting his daily dose of Fox and becoming more and more radicalized.  I suspect before the end of this term he might show up to court in a red hat.

Yes. Like I said, Calvin Ball. Alito quite simply believes that executive power must be constrained when the executive is a democrat, but is truly limit less when the executive is Donald Trump. He has no guiding principles other than that. It is amazing how thoroughly he has beclowned himself.

Tangentially related to the Supreme Court but likely directly related to Texas fascism and brain drain, Texas Law lost Steve Vladeck to Georgetown.  Apparently a year ago, but geezus.

Well, you know me, I'm of the opinion that it's always been all-Calvinball all the time, forever.  But the willingness to change the rules of decision and rhetoric 180 degrees in a short span of time these days is remarkable.

GREENBELT, Md. (AP) — A California man pleaded guilty on Tuesday to trying to kill U.S. Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh at his home in a suburb of Washington, D.C., nearly three years ago.

Nicholas John Roske was arrested near Kavanaugh’s home in Chevy Chase, Maryland, in June 2022. Roske was armed with a gun and a knife, was carrying zip ties and was dressed in black when he arrived in the neighborhood by taxi just after 1 a.m., authorities said.

U.S. District Judge Deborah Boardman is scheduled to sentence Roske on Oct. 3. Prosecutors say federal sentencing guidelines call for a term of 30 years to life in prison

Roske, 29, of Simi Valley, California, pleaded guilty to attempting to murder a justice of the United States without reaching a plea agreement with federal prosecutors.

A trial for Roske had been scheduled to start on June 9.

 

 

I clicked on a headline about the Supreme Court declining to reverse the order requiring Trump to facilitate the return of Abrego Garcia, fully expecting a tight 5-4 decision.

Nope. 9-0. Which gave me a glimmer of hope. Maybe “the President can’t just kidnap people and fly them off to an El Salvadoran prison” is something we can all agree on. 

Yeah, I'm not holding my breath waiting for the guy to be returned.

We can’t all agree on that at all.
I’m sure this court, at best, would conclude “he didn’t disappear someone the right way - here’s how he should do it.”

QFMFT.  I fully expect a Thomas dissent, explaining that "while this might have been wrong, I would have been cool with it if they had just done x, y and z [wink, wink]" ....

The decision was a 9-0, this isn't happening. No one thinks this is legal and now we find out if trump can do whatever the fuck he wants or if the courts still matter. 

If the courts don't matter then everyone should just do whatever they want.

Roberts won't say that people don't actually have rights. He'll just allow Trump several months/years of procedural delays, until Abrego Garcia is killed by prison guards and Roberts moots the case.

Yup this is my concern, my dudes and dudettes.  

Also that Garcia is already dead.

 

Summary of SCOTUS take:
1) humans have rights under the Constitution.
2) this guy’s rights were violated.
3) but there is no remedy for that, the Regime can violate anyone’s rights with zero repercussions, answering to no one.
So you can frame the “people have rights” part of that decision and put it on the wall, it’s a pretty decoration and that’s it. What matters is the remedy - can you get one? No? Then nothing fucking matters.
