#Louisiana v. Callais — a 2022 map w/ 1 majority-Black district was ruled to violate the #VotingRightsAct. The new map, drawn w/ 2 majority-Black districts, was challenged by a group describing themselves as “non-African American” who contend it was unconstitutional racial #gerrymandering. The state says it drew the map not due to #race but to protect #Republican incumbents, such as #House Speaker #MikeJohnson & Rep Julia Letlow, who sits on the House #Appropriations Cmte.#SCOTUS #law 🧵

#Sotomayor contends that the #Trump admin DID NOT ASK the court to completely block the lower court orders because it would have to show that the order is probably constitutional, which it can't do, she says. "The gamesmanship in this request is apparent & the Government makes no attempt to hide it.

The #porn industry plaintiffs, who formed an association called the #FreeSpeech Coalition, sued to block the TX #law before it went into effect in 2023. Derek L.

I encourage everyone to read Justice Sotomayor’s dissent.“The rule of law is not a given in this Nation, nor any other. It is a precept of our #democracy that will endure only if those brave enough in every branch fight for its survival. Today, the Court abdicates its vital role in that effort.” - #Sotomayorhttps://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24pdf/24a884_8n59.pdf#FuckSCOTUS #law #SCOTUS #BirthrightCitizenship #immigration #Constitution #Judiciary #SeparationOfPowers #Trump #ActivistCourt

Also read Justice #Jackson’s dissent“The Court's decision to permit the Executive to violate the #Constitution with respect to anyone who has not yet sued is an #existential threat to the rule of #law.“…the Executive's bid to vanquish so-called 'universal injunctions' is, at bottom, a request for this Court's permission to engage in unlawful behavior.”https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24pdf/24a884_8n59.pdf#FuckSCOTUS #SCOTUS #BirthrightCitizenship #NationwideInjunctions #Judiciary #SeparationOfPowers #AbuseOfPower

“When the Government says 'do not allow the lower courts to enjoin executive action universally as a remedy for unconstitutional conduct,' what it is actually saying is that the Executive wants to continue doing something that a court has determined violates the #Constitution— please allow this.

@Nonilex Opts outs for "I'm a bigot" are, in fact, unworkable, tho. You should be allowed to opt out of LGBTQ+ reading any more than you should be able to opt out of reading about people who aren't white or male.

#SCOTUS’ opinion setting new limits on the #power of district-court #judges to use one of their most potent tools— #NationwideInjunctions —marks the beginning of a profound shift in the way the #FederalCourts operate.Before, >1k judges had the power to issue nationwide orders that could stop the #FederalGovernment in its tracks.Now, those judges’ rulings can only apply to the actual plaintiffs in the case.#FuckSCOTUS #law #Constitution #Judiciary #SeparationOfPowershttps://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/27/us/politics/trump-birthright-citizenship-scotus.html?smid=url-share

Friday’s opinion could affect any case, on any issue, where a federal judge makes a ruling that extends beyond the party or parties that actually brought the lawsuit. It left open the possibility that #judges could still block government actions nationwide, but only in situations where there was no narrower approach available that would protect the actual plaintiffs whom the #court is seeking to benefit.#FuckSCOTUS #law #SCOTUS #Constitution #democracy #Judiciary #SeparationOfPowers

Friday’s ruling will lead to a drastic reduction in the #FederalCourts’ ability to check the White House, according to Judith Resnik, a professor at Yale Law School. #NationwideInjunctions give #courts “the capacity to tell the key nationwide actor, the #ExecutiveBranch, to behave lawfully,” she said.#FuckSCOTUS #law #SCOTUS #Constitution #democracy #Judiciary #SeparationOfPowers #Trump #PresidentialPower #AbuseOfPower

District-court judges have repeatedly used #NationwideInjunctions to block #Trump admin policies, including to halt the #MassFirings of civil servants, the defunding of #ForeignAid & the relocation of #transgender women in #FederalPrisons to men’s housing. Some of those injunctions have been lifted by higher courts; many, including those detailed below, remain in place, …for now.#FuckSCOTUS #law #SCOTUS #Constitution #democracy #Judiciary #SeparationOfPowers #PresidentialPower #AbuseOfPower

The #Trump admin has argued that lower-court judges are relying on #NationwideInjunctions to interfere w/Trump’s agenda in ways that overstep the #courts’ constitutional role; his critics say that the rise in nationwide injunctions is driven by…the admin’s willingness to flout the #law in the pursuit of his #policy goals.As of mid-May there were more than 2 dozen nationwide injunctions in place blocking Trump’s policies, acc/to…the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service.#SCOTUS #Judiciary

Still, #SCOTUS’ ruling doesn’t mean they will instantly evaporate. Experts say the next step is for individual courts to apply the new precedent in their own cases. In some instances, the #DOJ will likely challenge existing #NationwideInjunctions to see if they need to be pared back under the Supreme Court’s new precedent.#FuckSCOTUS #law #Constitution #democracy #Judiciary #SeparationOfPowers #Trump #ExecutiveBranch #PresidentialPower #AbuseOfPower

Some of the policies that the #Trump administration has tried to bring into effect, only to be blocked by #NationwideInjunctions that remain in force, for now:— A (redundant) #voter ID #ExecutiveOrder that requires proof of #citizenship— Federal Funding Freeze that froze trillions of dollars of federal #grants & #loans— an order by the #Education Dept that demanded that #PublicSchools either eliminate programs promoting #diversity & #equity, or lose their federal #funding.#SCOTUS #law 🧵
