SCOTUS Thread (News and Discussion) III: Abandoning 90 Years of Precedent

[Tyche]

Neither. It's what falls under "default".

Property owners can ban the guns, but the default position isn't a blanket ban. It just shifts the responsibility onto the property owner to inform the gun owner they aren't allowed as opposed to the gun owner needing permission by default.

I'm friends with a large number of women given my profession. Several have husbands/boyfriends that I don't know very well. I have parties throughout the year and always invite the couples. I have always explicitly put "NO FIREARMS" on the invitations due to the drug and alcohol use.

Even if the default position was a ban, I'd still issue the notice. Seems like a thing you'd want to double-verify.

[Kaslo]

Wait, so your right to have a gun overwrites my properity rights?

I think it was specifically businesses that were open to the public.

You are doing a good job as a husband and father.

[Yuri-G]

Justice Alito has three opinions.

no thanks

good news: Supreme Court ruling today upholds state laws that allow the counting of mail-in ballots that are postmarked by Election Day and arrive shortly after

bad news: it was a 5-4 vote so it was close. roberts and barrett were the defectors

Trump's first appeal of the E Jean Carroll decision has been rejected. A second appeal in a separate case is still waiting.

The Supreme Court on Monday announced that it will not hear an appeal by President Donald Trump seeking review of the $5 million jury verdict entered against him in the sexual abuse and defamation case filed by journalist E. Jean Carroll.

In November, Trump came to the Supreme Court, asking the justices to hear his appeal. He contended that Carroll’s lawyers should not have been allowed to introduce testimony by other women who also alleged that Trump had assaulted them, as well as the 2005 “Access Hollywood” tape in which Trump bragged about grabbing women by their genitals.

In her brief responding to Trump's petition, Carroll argued that even if the jury should not have been allowed to consider the evidence, it ultimately would not have made a difference because the rest of her case was so strong. She asked the justices to deny review.

On Monday, the justices did so, without a noted dissent from the denial. The court is expected to soon received another petition for review from Trump in a separate defamation case involving Carroll, in which the same federal appeals court upheld an $83 million verdict in Carroll’s favor.

In a landmark decision that could transform the federal government, the Supreme Court has voted to allow President Donald Trump to remove a Democratic member of the Federal Trade Commission, Rebecca Slaughter, for policy reasons, rolling back 90 years of legal precedent that had prevented at-will removal of independent agency officials and significantly expanding presidential power.

The decision gives Trump and future presidents more control over the government and effectively ends the bipartisan, independent nature of regulatory agencies that oversee many aspects of American life.

It can not be stressed enough how big a deal this is.

"What text, history, and structure settle, our precedent confirms -- the President may remove his subordinates at will," Roberts wrote.

Cute. Ignorant as fuck as usual. I can't fathom having that sort of position without the wherewithal to understand that history wasn't equipped to deal with the shit we're dealing with now.

Disconnected from reality. I'm inclined to say they unfortunately do represent America fairly well at this point.

[Tyche]

At least we're going to get Trump and Stephen Miller absolutely fucking raging today while reading Uncle Ruckus bitching about being unable to deport brown citizens.

I'll update the thread title.

Birthright citizenship has been upheld.

Cases today.

Trannies are banned from sports. Happy last day of pride month.
Campaigns can coordinate spending
Brown people are still citizens.

Of note, the transgender case will get heard again, and squeezed tighter as states attempt to force a nationwide ban for title IX violations, which this opinion helped set the groundwork for.

[Tyche]

And to clarify some already misleading headlines, they didn't lift caps on overall political spending by parties, just what can be coordinated.

The argument I've heard is that it'll help temper anonymous PAC spending. Realistically, it'll just obfuscate PAC spending further.

It also hurts the fringe movements in the parties (like DSA/Tea Party)

Reading through the dissents, it seems the "liberal" justices wouldn't have removed the transgender athletes ban, just remanded for more fact-finding.

[Tyrath]

Alito is retiring


Edit: JK NPR retracted the story

[Xno Kappa]

Probably a genuine concern they're going to lose the senate if there's any truth to it. Uncle Ruckus was at the capitol yesterday for unknown reasons too.

[Yabby]

They'll wait to see if they lose the Senate. If they do, he'll retire so his replacement can be appointed before the next rotation.

[Zealot]

Can't wait for his replacement, Heinrich Himmler IV.
