Do you know what the best thing about "good" Blacks like Clarence Thomas, Tim Scott and Thomas Sowell is?

They would chuckle right along with you at that and not think that it is in any manner racist humor……coming from a white boy.

Justice Kentanji Brown Jackson wrote a dissent joined by Justice Sonya Sotomayor that chastised the Supreme Court for once again issuing an emergency order in favor of the Trump administration without the benefit of briefing or oral argument.
The entirety of the majority opinion dealing with Jackson is a pretty solid slap down as these things go. She made some real doozies of statements that tend to paint her as not serious.

Crazy.
For the 'MAGA are figurative book burners crowd', from the linked Hill article:

"The children are required to read or listen to stories like "Prince & Knight" about two male knights who marry each other, and "Love Violet" about two young girls falling in love. Another, "Born Ready: The True Story of a Boy Named Penelope," discusses a biological girl who begins a transition to being a boy.

Teachers were informed that this was mandatory reading, which must be assigned, and that families would not be allowed to opt out. The guidelines for teachers made clear that students had to be corrected if they expressed errant or opposing views of gender. If a child questions how someone born a boy could become a girl, teachers were encouraged to correct the child and declare, "That comment is hurtful!"

Even if a student merely asks, "What's transgender?," teachers are expected to say, "When we're born, people make a guess about our gender and label us 'boy' or 'girl' based on our body parts. Sometimes they're right and sometimes they're wrong."

Teachers were specifically told to "[d]isrupt" thinking or values opposing transgender views.

Many families sought to opt out of these lessons. The school allows for such opt-outs for a variety of reasons, but the Board ruled out withdrawals for these lessons."

This type of stuff is why many people characterize it as indoctrination.

Someday she will figure out that she should have gone with Alito and Thomas on the ghost gun decision.

*You can always count on Alito and Thomas to twist the law into a balloon animal to come up with the result their patrons desire.

After MAGA criticism, Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett delivers for Trump


https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/supreme-court/maga-world-criticism-amy-coney-barrett-trump-rcna215622

"I want to thank Justice Barrett, who wrote the opinion brilliantly," he said at a White House press conference soon after Friday's ruling.

Barrett's majority opinion in the 6-3 ruling along ideological lines, which at least temporarily revived Trump's plan to end automatic birthright citizenship, is a major boost to an administration that has been assailed by courts around the country for its broad and aggressive use of executive power.

Just a few months ago, she faced vitriolic criticism from MAGA influencers and others as she sporadically voted against Trump, including a March decision in which she rejected a Trump administration attempt to avoid paying U.S. Agency for International Development contractors.

One of those outspoken critics, Trump-allied lawyer Mike Davis, suggested that the pressure on Barrett had the desired effect.

"Sometimes feeling the heat helps people see the light," he said in a text message."*

*Now MAGA does the Mob stuff out loud that they used to do in quiet.

Sorry you cannot deal with differing views, snowflake. I am sure you are equally outraged with the Ten Commandments being placed in texass public schools.

"President Trump needs the Supreme Court to validate some of his most sweeping exercises of presidential power and to stretch or outright overturn some of its own precedents in order to do so, Axios' Sam Baker reports.

The Supreme Court is set to hear three big Trump cases in its new term, which begins next week challenges to his tariffs, his firing of a Federal Trade Commission member and his attempt to fire Fed governor Lisa Cook.

The precedents* standing in Trump's way are conservative ones.

The right's long, successful campaign to curtail presidents' domestic powers is on a collision course with Trump's wrecking-ball presidency.

Where it stands: When President Biden tried to impose an eviction moratorium during COVID, and then to forgive student loans, the Supreme Court said those policies ran afoul of the "major questions doctrine."

Presidents can't implement policies that have "vast economic and political significance" unless they have explicit authorization from Congress, the Supreme Court said then.

That same legal reasoning should also sink Trump's tariffs, a federal appeals court ruled this summer.

What's next: The 6-3 court repeatedly has sided with Trump in his efforts to fire federal workers and signaled it may want to go as far as to overturn the precedent that protects leaders of independent agencies."
Axios

The SCOTUS smoke signals have already been sent:

Justice Clarence Thomas says legal precedents are not 'the gospel' - ABC News https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/justice-clarence-thomas-legal-precedents-gospel/story?id=125967044

"Justice Clarence Thomas said the Supreme Court should take a more critical approach to settled precedent, saying decided cases are not "the gospel" and suggesting some may have been based on "something somebody dreamt up and others went along with."

"The Supreme Court's majority right wing indicated in oral arguments that they think racism is over on the same day that the vice president defended the "I love Hitler" guy, and that the NYT reported that the current administration plans to accept only white, English-speaking refugees."

I didn't think your assault on the Democratic Party extended to that issue, or maybe I just forgot.

How does this fold into Trump's new immigration proposal that favors Whites that he feels face political oppression in their home countries, like Afrikaners and Right Wing Germans? Is there a Babylon Bee hysterical parody of that situation too?
