Does an unsigned SCOTUS order need to be followed? I mean, no pen is even less than autopen
It's good—very good, and very important—that district courts keep issuing these 100-page rulings upholding the law. It must be incredibly dispiriting to see them overturned in a two-page, lawless, unsigned order, but please, keep them coming. They expose SCOTUS' corruption like nothing else.

The Roberts Court has completely delegitimized the Supreme Court.

In a democracy, the people get to decide what is constitutional—not a cadre of unelected Republican operatives.

This Supreme Court acts as if the people are irrelevant and they can say the constitution means anything MAGA needs.
According to this Supreme Court:

❌ Using race conscious admissions in college to give minorities a fair shot

✅ Using race to profile people on the street to detain for immigration sweeps

✅ Using race to disenfranchise minorities in elecciones

The only consistency is white supremacy.

SCOTUS has spoken. Right? Every blue state needs to get onboard with this. And hurry the hell up.

If gerrymandering were illegal nationwide, Republicans would struggle to hold the House at all. The only thing propping them up all these years are rigged maps.

The Supreme Court is a crime syndicate.
BREAKING: The Supreme Court ruled to allow Texas to proceed with using a racially discriminatory voting map.

Voters of color deserve to be heard – not silenced.

The U.S. Supreme Court: "ICE can racially profile people it arrests."

Also, the U.S. Supreme Court: "Texas can disenfranchise voters based on race."

Can we all agree that we currently have a white supremacist Supreme Court?

What's changed is that the Court has become more transparent in its corruption. There's not even an argument here beyond the implicit one which is: how do you expect us to hold the House without those seats?
#BREAKING: Over dissents from the three democratic appointees, #SCOTUS puts Texas's new House maps back into effect for (and, presumably, through) the 2026 midterms.

The three Democratic appointees, in an opinion by Justice Kagan, dissent.

I'll post the ruling shortly.

You can't kill someone for *possible* future noncombatant activity

Another issue is that drug-trafficking is a crime, not an act of warfare
NEWS --> Tons of fresh detail on what video of the strike shows: Rep Adam Smith says two men are sitting on capsized boat, drugs aren't visible. Rationale officials gave for killing is they *may* have been able to keep trafficking.

"It's bad," Smith says.

The Illegitimate “Supreme” Court strikes again. 😡
The Supreme Court has reinstated the Trump-inspired gerrymandered congressional map in Texas after it was blocked by a lower court, with the Roberts court once again putting its thumb on the scale to weaken protections for minority voters and entrench GOP political power.
