The final SCOTUS opinion today is Mullin v. Doe. Alito has the 6-3 opinion, holding that the temporary protected status statute bars court review of non-constitutional claims and the Haiti plaintiffs are unlikely to succeed in their equal protection claim. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

The Supreme Court of the United States has concluded, as a matter of law, that Donald Trump and his administration's racism and vitriol toward Haitiansâin its termination of TPSâis not "overtly racial."

Justice Kagan, in dissent, calls them out:

BREAKING: The Supreme Court rules 6-3 in favor of the Trump admin on Temporary Protected Status, blocking the lawsuit on jurisdictional grounds, allowing DHS to strip over 350,000 people of legal status even though they utterly failed to follow the required legal procedures.

The Supreme Court ALSO gives Trump another pass on racism, declaring that his horrific and bigoted comments against Haitians are actually not evidence of racism and that the plaintiffs cannot show evidence of racial bias, essentially plugging their ears and letting Trump spew filth as policy.

Fourth (and *last*) ruling from #SCOTUS is in TPS.

For the usual 6-3 majority, Justice Alito holds that federal law forecloses judicial review of statutory challenges to the executive branch's termination of temporary protected status for Haiti, Syria, etc.:

With seven decisions with the *same* 6-3 lineup over the last three days, I really can't wait for all of the hot takes from the folks who keep insisting that #SCOTUS *isn't* defined by its ideological division.

America must be saved. We cannot let them continue to burn down America. We are owed seats after what they pulled in 2016 and 2020.

(1,943 posts)They are legislating from the bench, inventing things on the fly, and ignoring the Constitution whenever they feel it's necessary.
The Court should be expanded in 2029 to 13 -one for each Appellate Court. The expansion should also codify that the number of the USSC shall be equal to the number Appeals Courts.
