Let’s be honest, we’re all only listening to this SCOTUS live audio to find out what happens when Roberts goes, “Justice Thomas, any questions?”
AND JUSTICE THOMAS IS ASKING QUESTIONS
And now Ginsburg and Breyer have both pressed the lawyer to follow on Thomas’s question, because it turns out when Thomas does ask questions, they’re usually good ones.
Sounds like Sotomayor forgot to unmute herself
JUSTICE THOMAS ASKS AGAIN!

Go, go, Thomas!
And here’s the #BreyerPage

Dude's deliberately misreading a very short, digestible, and temporary judicial order so to lay the groundwork for going full Jackson Apocrypha in service to his movement's authoritarian agenda.

Read the order for yourself:

These people are all but actually up in arms over the judge's restraining "political appointees" from accessing Treasury's payment system, and lying to you that it includes the Secretary and other cabinet members, when it's clearly aimed at people like the DOGEbros. Image

Could the judge have been clearer? Sure. But this is still clear to any plain reader. Could the order have been narrower? Sure, another judge approved such a deal between private plaintiffs and the admin over DOGEbro access while litigation played out: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

aaaaand the SCOTUS TikTok args started immediately after this
Trump's first-term SG is repping TikTok to fight a law he'd likely have defended had Congress passed it before 2020
Thomas sounds like he'll vote to uphold the ban as targeting ByteDance, a foreign company

Curious if Jim Ho will renounce his defense of birthright citizenship if he thinks a SCOTUS nom depends on doing so
Didn’t matter for CA5 but SCOTUS is different…as will be the vetters this time texastribune.org/2017/10/11/jim…

The decision feels like Bruen in that it'll have the justices in subsequent cases going WAIT NO WE DIDN'T MEAN THAT except it'll be after Emperor Trump orders Kavanaugh to chew off Roberts's face in the supersized Thunderdome constructed on top of the Supreme Court building
Hahahaha what am I saying this opinion will never be cited again if dude returns to office because they'll just Weekend at Bentham him so that he'll remain immune from whatever crimes he commits while alive or dead during his eternal reign Image
If dude loses then yeah so long as this SCOTUS is similarly constituted a majority will permit any subsequent Republican DOJ to swiftly execute any past Democratic President for the nonofficial criminal acts of Winning an Election and Democrating While In Office.

SCOTUS 6-3 invalidates the federal bump stock ban supremecourt.gov/opinions/23pdf…
Thomas writes for the six-justice Republican supermajority saying existing law didn't authorize the Trump admin's rule.

Alito, concurring, says Congress should amend the law.

HEY CONGRESSIONAL REPUBLICANS ALITO SAYS PASS A GUN CONTROL LAW BANNING BUMP STOCKS!
Image
Image
Sotomayor, joined by Kagan and Jackson, dissents, saying that bump stock-equipped guns clearly fall within Congress's prohibition on machine guns:

"When I see a bird that walks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, I call that bird a duck."
