"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."

"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."

~ Charles Pierce

"(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.)"
