It also calls the raid a “rogue abuse of power” but I suppose it’s unreasonable to ask you to read to the end.

Me: oh wow, this shop has everything my heart desires!

Spooky shopkeeper: yes, I will warn you... every item comes with a price.

Me: yes, I know how shops work

Spooky Shopkeeper: The price may be more than you expect to pay.

Me: Yes, I know how US taxes work, too.

Shopkeeper, increasingly exasperated: I'm trying to tell you that I'm evil and offering these wares with no regard for the harm they will do!

Me, also increasingly exasperated: I know what capitalism is too goddammit

It’s always the same complaint when Trump/GOP advance eliminationist rhetoric: the Dems somehow “allowed” it because only the Dems have agency

"Republican presidents are only able to do things because Democratic presidents establish 'precedents' by doing other things" is a quintessential stupid argument that people who don't know nearly as much about politics at they think they do are sure is the height of sophisticated analysis

The job of editors at the Nation is simply to make sure enough vitriol is directed at the libs, not anything so trite as basic fake checking.

One thing that shouldn't be forgotten is that even before Monday's story dropped Platner was a bad candidate running an incredibly shitty general election campaign -- sour, whiny factionalism in a blue state, weak fundraising, no answer to Collins oppo www.gelliottmorris.com/p/2026-07-07...
gelliottmorris.com
Graham Platner is a bad dude — and data shows he's a bad candidate, too
Democrats now have an opportunity to nominate someone less troubled who polls better. Will they waste it

The only real risk of this being overturned in the near future is Roberts retiring and being replaced by a MAGA true believer, but then they’d all need to agree on one of the four approaches taken by the dissents.

Which is something none of the dissents acknowledge. The four divergent and open-ended tests they propose clearly do not provide any bright line that settles the issue forever as intended, and many of them slide into the reasoning of Dred Scott which the Reconstruction Congress emphatically rejected

I think history is going to look at the lack of consensus in the dissents as further evidence that the majority opinion was correct. To be clear, it is and its (and Jackson’s concurrence) historical evidence overwhelming. 14A’s framers were explicit in their intent to settle the issue forever…

3. Gorsuch sided with Thomas but doesn’t think unlawful status necessarily severs domicile. IOW children of long-term undocumented parents may be citizens. 4. Alito prefers a non-foreign allegiance test.

1. Kavanaugh thinks Wong Kim Ark was correct, but he doesn’t think its exceptions are set in stone. He thinks the exceptions can be expanded by the court or Congress. 2. Thomas embraces citizenship based on the parents’ domicile, and believes unlawful presence by the parents severs domicile.

The 5-4 birthright citizenship opinion was indeed shocking, but having read it I feel slightly better that the dissents will have an uphill battle to overturn it in the future. The four dissenters have sharply divergent views on the clause.

The vote on the constitutional question in the birthright citizenship case is an absolute scandal slate.com/news-and-pol...
On Tuesday, the Supreme Court ruled that the first sentence of the 14th Amendment means exactly what it says: Birthright citizenship is the nation’s fundamental law, and Donald Trump cannot repeal it via executive order. The vote was 5–4. This outcome is, of course, a relief. But the margin is a scandal. It is nothing short of stunning that Trump came one vote away from convincing the Supreme Court to repeal the bedrock of the Reconstruction Amendments based on a brazenly partisan contortion of their text and history. A view held only by fringe, far-right nativists until very recently has secured support from four of the nine members of the court: Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, and Brett Kavanaugh. This is a shocking development that should upend all expectations that this Supreme Court can be trusted to apply the most basic constitutional guarantees when a Republican president seeks to nullify them. If a theory flatly rejected by all serious legal scholars and historians can come one vote away from success, no rights are safe. Everything is on the table.

Donald Trump came one vote away from getting the Supreme Court to say that the 14th Amendment does not guarantee birthright citizenship for the children of undocumented and temporary immigrants, a view held only by fringe far-right nativists until VERY recently. This is shocking. I am stunned.

Kavanaugh finding that the same words in 14A and the federal statute lead to two different results is wild.

there is no group of people who deserve quasi-suspect class status more than trans people. I swear to god, people need to read Carolene Products. They are a discrete and insular minority with zero political power as evidenced by the fact that they're being attacked left right and center.

John Roberts' Constitution forbids any attempt to proactively ameliorate racial discrimination and racial inequality, but permits open racial discrimination as long as there is a facially neutral explanation available, even if it isn't remotely plausible. This, my friends, is "Colorblindness."
