The Supreme Court should preserve the status quo until legal questions are resolved and explain the disposition of cases for the public. They are abdicating basic principles of equity and failing to fulfill their institutional role. They aren’t pretending to try. There isn’t even the veneer of law.

New in PN: The worst chief justice of all time
"American history has no shortage of legendarily bad chief justices and disgraceful decisions. But John Roberts has overseen the wholesale corruption and capture of the Supreme Court, and history should look back on his tenure with revulsion."

With both middle fingers in the air, I dissent
the liberal justices keep floating these dramatic little sign offs on their dissents. “With sadness,” “with deep disillusionment.” just say “i dissent,” it reads more forcefully.
KBJ, in dissent, calls today's ruling "profoundly dangerous" and an "existential threat to the rule of law." She expresses her "deep disillusionment" with the court and suggests that the conservative supermajority continues to crown Trump a king above law. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

all of the Supreme Court’s jurisprudence about executive power - all of it - can be replaced with a simple flow chart. is the president a Republican? if so it’s ok. if not, it’s presumptively not ok.

I want to reiterate that countless conservative judges issued universal injunctions against the Biden administration, and the Supreme Court never halted the practice. Now, barely five months into Trump's second term, the court puts an end to these injunctions. A brazen double standard.

Today's Planned Parenthood decision was a devasting blow to women, and it wasn't even about abortion. It was a devasting blow to civil rights, and it wasn't even about Civil Rights.

Those on the high court often exercise caution in their choice of words. That is why it was striking when she used an audience of lawyers to deliver a stern message to the legal profession: stand up for democracy, take on the hard fights and do whatever you can to win.

So, uh, which part of the Supreme Court decision allowing the government to force people into concentration camps is supposd to be "overruled"?
So, How Much of Korematsu Did the Supreme Court “Overrule,” Exactly?
In 2018, John Roberts called it “obvious” that Korematsu has “no place in law under the Constitution.” Recent events suggest otherwise.

I remember last year (maybe the year before that?), I tweeted that Korematsu was never explicitly overruled and a few lawyers disagreed with me on that.
SCOTUS could have made the language explicit. They did not. We pay for the sins of the past.
