Roberts wrote "the way to stop discriminating on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race" and "eliminating racial discrimination means eliminating all of it" then signed on to this opinion expressly allowing the government to continue discriminating on the basis of race.

the maga constitution doesn’t allow any institution, public or private, to explicitly work to ameliorate racial inequality but allows the government to racially profile

SCOTUS allowing ICE to racially profile will embolden Trump to use ICE & military against his political opponents, potentially demanding citizenship checks at polls & intimidating Dem voters in 2026.

The same Supreme Court that just acted overnight to unleash ICE raids that break apart families and brutalize people in LA, couldn't find the time in 2024 to fast-track Jack Smith's case against a sitting president for trying to overthrow our government. Their priorities tell you everything.

It's not the most important part of the issue but Kavanaugh saying "well they should just sue if they're the victims of excessive force from ICE" when he himself has previously voted to bar lawsuits against federal officers for violations of the 4th Amendment in immigration cases takes chutzpah.

The injunction is silent as to the use
of force. And it is not necessary for the injunction to address
that use-of-force question because the Fourth Amendment’s
reasonableness standard continues to govern the officers’
use of force and to prohibit excessive force.
To the extent that excessive force has been used, the
Fourth Amendment prohibits such action, and remedies
should be available in federal court. I agree with the
dissent on that point. But to reiterate, this injunction
against brief stops for questioning does not address the useof-force issue.
