Supreme Court Agrees to Hear Case That Could Bless Trump's Bid to End Birthright Citizenship | Common Dreams

in a nutshell
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.

The judge wrote that the Trump administration had illegally lowered the standard for making immigration arrests when it instituted a policy of “arrest now, ask questions later.”
