Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Open endorsement of racism by SCOTUS wasn't actually on my bingo card. Thought they would be more subtle.
Also, when did SCOTUS decide to throw out a massive number of decisions without deliberation? Are they really that in favor of a Trump dictatorship?
When their only job became clearing the way for the trump admin. This shadow docket shit is becoming a real problem for lower courts too because SC keeps ruling without elaborating their decisions. Its difficult to find judgement in line with this precedence without understanding how they're reaching these conclusions.
Apparently they got tired of making shit up like during their last session.
They don't have to justify their decisions. They've gone full authoritarian and are aggressively, flagrantly arbitrary. "Because we said so and you can't stop us" is their only reason. Fucking pigs.
Thankfully some of the lower courts are wising up to this shit. The thing about shadow dockets is they aren't actual rulings. They provide no legal guidance. So what some courts are doing is only applying them to the exact specific question they ruled on. If a party in the case submits a plea worded slightly differently than the one SCOTUS ruled on, the lower courts are perfectly free to ignore the SCOTUS shadow dockets ruling. Only actual written briefs carry any kind of weight of precedent.
A problem with decisions that are only made to kiss Trump's ass is that it's hard to fabricate even a weak chain of reasoning to support them.
In favor or fearful of ....
They wouldn't have anything to fear if they weren't enabling it to happen.
