As the supreme court upends precedent again and again, the liberal justices reveal the divisions within the legal body
On Friday, Justice Sonia Sotomayor delivered an acidic sermon against the court’s 6-3 decision to end lower courts’ practice of issuing nationwide injunctions to block federal executive orders, reading her dissent directly from the bench in a move meant to highlight its importance.
“No right is safe in the new legal regime the Court creates,” states Sotomayor’s dissent, joined by Justices Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown-Jackson. “Today, the threat is to birthright citizenship. Tomorrow, a different administration may try to seize firearms from law abiding citizens or prevent people of certain faiths from gathering to worship.”
I can’t tell if the majority expects there to never be another democrat president or if they just haven’t thought that far ahead. It probably varies from one to the next.
just like the last one, the next D president will likely be in large part toothless
They know the Democrats are on the same side as them. This isn’t a party war. It’s a class war.
There will be another lawsuit and they will change the precedent.
Oh silly, these expanded rules are only for Repugnican presidents.
