Florida has been doing the porn age verification for 4 years, I don't know why it has become an issue. As for KBJ I honestly thought that Sotormayor was the dumbest SC Justice ever and can't believe we put another person up there who can't explain the Constitution in a coherent manner. 1

Andy1 Posted 6 hours ago Posted 6 hours ago During the Obama and Biden times, conservatives repeatedly used lower court rulings to constrain their orders. That is a good thing and in keeping with conservative principles in that it forces slower societal change through laws developed in the legislative branch. Through this process, the 49% of Americans who supported the losing side of the presidential election felt that they still had some say, through the courts, in the future of the nation. Now we have a SC which is repeatedly increasing the power of the presidency through their decisions. Trump will use these powers to the max. And these new powers will be used by all who come after him, including those with liberal views. This is not a good thing for society in that it allows for more radical change in either direction, depending on the whims of one individual. The other 49% will feel powerless and become increasingly hateful, all of which is bad for America, making us more divided and less United.

Two is if what Biden did in regards to immigration was at all constitutional then what Trump is doing is fully constitutional. Your point about slowing societal change rings very hollow when liberals had no issues with Biden importing people without any background checks
dgrochester55 Posted 5 hours ago Posted 5 hours ago (edited) The funny thing about national injunctions is that Dems in 2022 and 2023 including Harris and some of the justices found it important to reduce or ban national injunctions when Texas judges were doing the same thing against Biden. In all fairness, I am sure than many conservatives were fine with the process back then. Realistically, we can all admit that if the Supreme court had made this ruling two years ago, that the party reactions would have been opposite. With that in mind, I think that it is a fair ruling and would have also thought it back then. The ruling went beyond partisan. This loophole was always there, but was now being weaponized. This was a power that was starting to be abused by both sides over the last few years and was way getting out of hand in this term. It would have only gotten worse for Trump and even more so for the next President, regardless of party. The ability to start the process of a class action ruling gives state judges the power to fight what they perceive as unfair, but requires a little more support so that it is not the same few extreme people (for either party) having the power to slow the progress of a President down at will and using it frivolously. The decision yesterday was good for the country as a whole and gets rid of an disproportionate power balance while replacing it with a more reasonable solution. Edited 5 hours ago by dgrochester55

The decision yesterday was good for the country as a whole and gets rid of an disproportionate power balance while replacing it with a more reasonable solution. Good points. Despite the blatantly racist characterizations of Jackson's dissent, there is a critical point there. Let's say there's a President Bernie or AOC. Day One: an EO banning "assault rifles." Guy in WY who wants to buy an AR runs to court; federal judge finds the EO unconstitutional. Maybe that only applies to him; every other prospective AR-15 purchaser also has to file his or her own lawsuit. Maybe the court finds it applies to everyone in WY. Then people in the 93 other federal districts need a similar ruling in their cases. But they're not gonna get it in, say, SF. So let's let the cases "percolate" through the courts until the Supreme Court hears it in two years. The Supreme Court ultimately finds that the EO violated the 2nd Amendment right to bear arms. So for two years a large group of people have been denied their constitutional rights. Kind of a big deal, right? Kavanaugh wrote his own opinion recognizing the big dealness of all of this. He said the Supreme Court has to be ready, willing, and able to hear these constitutional challenges to EOs on an expedited basis. In the birthright citizenship case, that would mean a merits decision right now. Otherwise the ultimate decision by the Supreme Court (next June? June 2027?) may be that the EO is unconstitutional, and there will be a whole slew of babies and toddlers subject to deportation if they travel from California to Texas to visit relatives. Not good. So the Supreme Court did a legal half-assed decision that is full-assed from a political (make a point about anti-Trump injunctions) perspective. That kind of thing is the Dred Scott kind of thing - a decision that creates an untenable situation on the ground. The kind of thing they are supposedly trying to avoid as the highest Court in the land. Meanwhile, Barrett decides that we've got to look at what federal courts thought was allowed in 1789 in order to decide if a nationwide injunction is kosher. Yeah, let's all go back to 1789 when men were men and Amy couldn't vote. 1
