The whole representative system is obsolete and needs to go. The idea that the legislature makes decisions that affect all Americans yet the people who ultimately make those decisions are only accountable to less than one percent of them needs to be done away with.

If you change the first word to “This” it works.

In her dissent, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson blasted the court’s decision to upend its default procedures and “facilitate Louisiana’s midstream redistricting rush,” despite primary ballots having already gone out to military and overseas voters.

Normally, the court frowns upon last-minute changes to election procedures, but in this case, it “dives into the fray” in a way that’s “unwarranted and unwise,” she wrote.

In a concurring decision, Alito fumed that Jackson’s dissent had accused the majority of “an unprincipled use of power,” which he claimed was “baseless and insulting” as well as “a groundless and utterly irresponsible charge.”

“The dissent accuses the Court of ‘unshackling’ itself from ‘constraints.’ It is the dissent’s rhetoric that lacks restraint,” he fumed.

ok grandpa

[Tymon]

They disenfranchised millions of people at the direct order of an autocrat and then went to a gala and got literally compensated for it. Groundless tho.

SCOTUS docket for today;

Is Florida violating the 6th Amendment for allowing six person juries in felony cases?
Do noncitizens have a right to due process for a bond hearing if they've been detained for an unreasonably long time?
A decision on further limiting death row inmates from challenging their capital sentence through a habeas petition

[Zealot]

Due process applies to all people at all times, because if it doesn't apply to everyone, it doesn't apply to anyone.

Learning con law right now would be utterly exhausting.

Today's rulings.

First opinion is Monsanto v. Durnell.
The vote is 7-2. It is by Kavanaugh.
Jackson dissents, joined by Gorsuch.
This is a case about whether a federal law – the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act – that regulates the use, sale, and labeling of pesticides – bars a lawsuit against Monsanto, the maker of Roundup weedkiller, for failing to include a warning on the label about the risks of cancer. The EPA did not require Monsanto to include such a warning, and the agency has said that the active ingredient in Roundup, glyphosate, does NOT cause cancer.
The court holds that FIFRA preempts (that is, trumps) Durnell's claim.

Justice Alito has three opinions. The first is Wolford v. Lopez, Hawaii guns.
The vote is 6-3
The court holds that the Hawaii law is unconstitutional.
This case was a challenge to the constitutionality of a Hawaii law that bars gun owners with concealed-carry permits from bringing their guns on to private property unless they have affirmative permission from the owner.

Next up is Mullin v. Al Otro Lado.
The vote is 6-3.
This case challenges the federal government’s policy of systematically turning back asylum seekers before they reach the U.S.-Mexico border. The Ninth Circuit held that noncitizens who were turned away before they could enter the U.S. had “arrived in” the United States for purposes of federal immigration law and therefore could apply for asylum.
The court reverses the Ninth Circuit.
Alito calls the question "straightforward."
"In ordinary speech, no one would say that a person 'arrives in' a place . . . before the person enters that place."

We have the final decision, in Mullin v. Doe
It is 6-3.
Kagan dissents, joined by Sotomayor and Jackson.
This case is a challenge to the decision by then-Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem to end Temporary Protected Status (a program that allows recipients to remain in the US and work if they cannot return safely to their own countries) for Syrian and Haitian nationals.
The court holds that the Syrian and Haitian nationals are not "entitled to orders postponing the terminations during litigation."

[Tyche]

That's a whole lot of 6-3 decisions for, as Roberts put it, a non-partisan court.

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

[Obsidian]

Their right to conceal it from you overrides your property rights, it reads like.
