"The conservative majority’s decision in Trump v. CASA is no less destructive to democracy, no less shameful, than the decision granting President Donald Trump sweeping immunity."

"On Friday, the Supreme Court released five opinions in its term-ending extravaganza, an annual tradition that is quickly becoming known as “Christmas in July for Trump.” ...

Friday was a tough day because the Supreme Court confirmed its complicity in Trump's attack on the rule of law."

"We are currently in control by, simultaneously, the worst president and the worst supreme court in American history. And Congress ain’t no polished gem either."

As Heather Cox Richardson says, consider this, as you look at the Supreme Court's boosting of Trump's birthright citizenship position:

"The administration's announcement that it is terminating Temporary Protected Status for half a million Haitians, stripping them of their legal status, seems to echo the ancient laws saying only 'free white persons' can become citizens."

"In its ruling on Friday, the court’s usual six monarchists granted Donald Trump’s request to reexamine various nationwide injunctions preventing Trump and Stephen Miller from implementing their plans to revoke birthright citizenship to any American who doesn’t happen to be white."

"Friday the Supreme Court weakened protections for – well all of us but especially immigrants and children of immigrants, and weakened the role of the judiciary, to fortify the powers of the executive branch and specifically the powers of the goblin cabal we call the Trump Administration."

"(Pro tip: It’s constitutional because it’s right there in the Constitution, in the very first clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. If you don’t think the Reconstruction Amendments are constitutional, and I suspect there are at least three votes on the Court that don’t, then that’s the whole ballgame. We’re back in Roger Taney's chambers again.)"

"One of the qualities of the carefully manufactured conservative majority on the Court is its obvious cowardice in the face of a half-crazy president with no sense of limits and no political morality at all. So, in this case, the Court took no position on the constitutionality of birthright citizenship."

"The insult stings all the more because Trump's co-conspirators are justices of the Court whose solemn duty is to protect and defend the Constitution."

"The court's decision in the birthright citizenship case, Trump v. CASA, Inc., is similarly unmoored from the legality, or even the constitutionality, of the underlying conduct: the Trump administration’s threat to eliminate the constitutionally guaranteed right of birthright citizenship."

"As it closes out its term, the Supreme Court is continuing to find ways to let Donald Trump do whatever he wants without addressing the legality of the conduct in question."

"In a decision that screams, 'We miss the monarchy,' the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that federal judges are simply too nosy and must stop enforcing the Rule of Law every time a president tries to rewrite the Constitution with a Sharpie."

"In a dazzling display of constitutional gymnastics, the Supreme Court has decided that nationwide injunctions—long used to temporarily stop presidents from turning democracy into a monarchy—are just too powerful for those pesky lower courts."

Project 2025 indulges every fantasy of Trump’s cabinet members, a coterie of private fund investors and business founders with preferential ties to the fossil fuel industry, real estate, and Silicon Valley. The manual shows how the president could open up federal lands to fossil fuel prospectors and actively obstruct any progress on climate change mitigation. It shows how the Federal Reserve could abandon its function as lender of last resort and allow for a return to free banking, with gold or some other commodity equivalent (perhaps cryptocurrency) acting as backstops to privately issued money. And it shows how the Department of Housing and Urban Development could sell off the country’s remaining public housing stock and withhold support from low-income borrowers. Meanwhile, the president is urged to dissolve the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the independent government agency charged with preventing bank runs) and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (the agency that recently extended anti-fraud regulation to the digital finance sector). Project 2025 represents the apotheosis of the antisocial state: a state form that has withdrawn from the task of social insurance and placed its entire administrative apparatus in the hands of a small group of uber-wealthy business partners.
