This is an assault on the Reconstruction Amendments by a Neo-Confederate Court wedded to the far-right argument that those amendments were illegitimate and destroyed the original intent of the Founders, which was to create a white man’s country

This ruling by the Supreme Court is ridiculous.

OUTRAGEOUS

Your citizenship depends upon WHAT STATE YOU LIVE IN?

🔥 Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is not mincing words:

“The Court’s decision to permit the Executive to violate the Constitution with respect to anyone who has not yet sued is an existential threat to the rule of law.”

She’s sounding the alarm, loud and clear.

If a president can trample the Constitution until someone sues and wins, then justice becomes a waiting game and power becomes unchecked.

“If this country is going to persist as a Nation of laws and not men, the Judiciary has no choice but to deny it.”

That’s not just a dissent.
It’s a warning. And we’d be fools not to listen.

@RepJasmine
Don’t get it twisted—today’s SCOTUS ruling makes it harder for courts to fully block dangerous policies like Trump’s attack on birthright citizenship.

Once again, they’re bending the law to serve him instead of defending the Constitution.

It’s shameful.

Today’s Supreme Court decision is not just about books or parental opt-outs — it’s part of a broader trend by executive, legislative, and judicial forces working to strip LGBTQ+ Americans of their dignity, their rights — and to attempt to erase their very existence.

Across the country, state legislatures have passed laws to censor any mention of LGBTQ+ people. Members of Congress have used hateful rhetoric to score political points at the expense of LGBTQ+ lives. And just last week, the federal government shut down a vital mental health and crisis support line for LGBTQ+ youth — a chilling act of indifference to the lives of children at risk of suicide.

In Montgomery County, and across the country, LGBTQ+ people will continue to excel in our schools as educators, students, and their families. Their existence is undeniable, and their rights and dignity will be defended. You may opt-out of reading books. But you can’t opt out of this essential truth: LGBTQ+ people will continue to exist in our community with pride, resilience, love, and joy.

Today, the Supreme Court majority chose to limit courts’ ability to strike down unconstitutional policies nationwide.

By weakening the judicial branch’s role as a check on the executive branch, this ruling will do real harm to our democracy and the rule of law.

If you supported uncommitted, you just made thousand or millions of people possibly lose their citizenship.

I’ll take apologies in the replies.

Notice how the same Supreme Court that wouldn’t even let Biden cancel a few student loans is just handing over executive power victories to Trump 🤔

I remember them.
The ‘ you can’t scare me with the Supreme Court into voting for Hillary.’
Yeah, I will NEVER forget them.

We have a 6-3 conservative majority on the Supreme Court precisely because leftists hated liberals more than fascists. They literally told us so and then proved it in the election. It’s quite literally a proven and documented fact.
