BREAKING: US Supreme Court releases opinion on birthright citizenship case

[7 minutes after the hour]

The document has just dropped from the Supreme Court. It's 119 pages long, we're reading through it currently. It appears that it will not be a clear upheld or rejected decision from the court. Stick with us.

I'm putting links to good, clear Bluesky threads into the comments.

Edit

Law Bluesky is a trip. Who gives a fuck?

Prediction: Footnote 18 from the universal injunction opinion will not stand the test of time

Sounds like a peak-lib “rules based order” fetishist where he still believes the justices are impartial and will apply logic consistently and without political bias.

MSNBC must provide him with a nice little revenue stream. He has a law podcast. He has a Substack. Maybe he's available to give speeches? Maybe he writes books? In any case MSNBC viewers and libs of all kinds do not (and will not) want to hear comments like that. I wonder how strong his convictions are. My hunch is he is unwilling to bite the hand that feeds him and in a day or two he'll say "I believe was too optimistic on the day of the ruling..."

It’s such a West Wing style “clever understander of the legal system” type thought that he’ll probably keep repeating it until proven wrong by the next such case that makes it up to the supremes.

the next such case

I don't know when the court meet again. January next year? In any case - I'm sure GOP SCOTUS will cripple another bedrock principle of US law. Maybe they'll go after due process? Fun times.
