Here's my updated chart of #SCOTUS's rulings to date on emergency applications from the Trump administration. See if you can spot the pattern...

The Supreme Court just ruled this meme is constitutional.

SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in a college applicant's file is blatantly unconstitutional ALSO SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in targeting whom to detain and deport is cool cool cool

This is a paragraph Brett Kavanaugh wrote on his little computer and then sent out into the world:

We just prevailed in our case against Trump's massive IEEPA tariffs, in the Federal Circuit! All challenged IEEPA tariffs ruled illegal, but scope of injunction TBD. Will have more to say later. Here is a link to the ruling (7-4 decision by en banc court): www.cafc.uscourts.gov/opinions-ord...

Delighted to share my latest, History and Fetishism in the New Separation of Powers Formalism, now live in the Penn Law Review! The piece traces the emergence of the Supreme Court’s new approach to separation of powers law and argues that it is grounded in a set of basic mistakes. (1/3)

🚨DHS asks the Supreme Court to halt an injunction restricting the ability of ICE and Border Patrol to stop and question people based on factors such as speaking Spanish, being Latino, doing day labor, or being in certain areas. Hard not to read this as a request for a license to racially profile.

En plena ofensiva reaccionaria, la labor del sindicalismo para conquistar derechos es esencial. El sindicalismo es democracia, no se puede criminalizar a quien lucha por mejorar su vida. Nuestro compromiso con las 6 de La Suiza es su indulto.

Sobre la bazofia de titulares sobre el IMV que se están publicando hoy y los supuestos ideológicos no confesados tras algunas evaluaciones "neutrales" solo os voy a decir una cosa: Auschwitz aumenta muchísimo la probabilidad de trabajar y las horas trabajadas. Y ahí lo dejo, a ver si se entiende ya.

🚨🚨 Late at night, the European Union’s leadership excitedly revealed a new plan to combat the hell-raising American president’s #tradewar: Take him on at his own wild game. 🧵 www.politico.eu/article/eu-l...

Today the GOP justices on the Supreme Court endorsed migrants being sold into slavery. They'll claim otherwise, but that's the reality — today's decision permits Trump to send people from countries around the world to any global hellhole that accepts a U.S. financial incentive.

BREAKING: the Supreme Court *grants* the Trump administration's emergency plea in DHS v. D.V.D. to resume deporting non-citizens to third countries. Justices Sotomayor, Kagan and Jackson dissent at length. The majority cites no reasons for granting the government's request.

DISASTROUS. This means they will send people to horrific situations with no due process — in direct violation of promises the Solicitor General made to the Court in previous cases. This greenlights sending people to be enslaved in Libya or tortured in any random foreign country.

#BREAKING: Over a (sharp) public dissent from the three Democratic appointees, #SCOTUS clears the way for the Trump administration to remove migrants to third countries *without* giving them an additional opportunity to contest whether they face persecution or other forms of mistreatment there:

Hey, chat, is it good when a judge begins a ruling by extensively quoting "The Trial"?

CJEU, immigration law EU law criminalising smuggling of migrants does not apply to mother bringing in her child and niece (over whom she has de facto custody) - follows from EU Charter rights to family life, rights of the child, and asylum, also Refugee Convention curia.europa.eu/juris/docume...

Lliuya v. RWE, the most spectacular climate litigation case in Germany, has been decided. Although the lawsuit was dismissed, the ruling is a major breakthrough for climate liability. PAUL GRIMM and JAN-ERIK SCHIRMER explain why it is a "success without victory": verfassungsblog.de/lliuya-rwe-c...

'We have seen, for example, cases concerning the expulsion of criminal foreign nationals where the interpretation of the Convention has resulted in the protection of the wrong people and posed too many limitations on the states’ ability to decide whom to expel from their territories.' /1

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.

Effectively overruling a 90 year old precedent - exempting the Fed on the grounds that 'we feel like it' - without oral argument or real deliberation. In so many arenas this Court seems to believe that for 235 years no one else has ever properly assessed Constitutional governance.

This is, I think, the end of our constitutional order. The Court has, on the shadow docket, expanded the unitary executive theory to its maximum, while carving out The Federal Reserve by fiat because they know it would cause an economic disaster.

In a widely-expected move, the Trump admin is making yet another effort to terminate the Flores Settlement, which since the 1990s has imposed limitations on the government's treatment of children in immigration detention. They lost every effort to do this in Trump's first term.

BREAKING: Supreme Court grants Trump‘s emergency request to let him fire the heads of the NLRB and MSPB. The vote is 6-3, with a written dissent from Kagan, Sotomayor and Jackson

BREAKING: The Supreme Court’s conservatives allow Trump’s firing of members of multi-member boards to remain in effect during litigation, effectively overruling a 90-year-old precedent. The liberal justices, in an opinion by Kagan, dissents. More to come: www.lawdork.com
