The fact that this wasn't an immediate 9-0 ruling shows how truly fucked this Supreme Court is.
the best encapsulation of this is a tweet from Ilan Wurman:
Wurman is a right-wing nutjob law prof at U of MN, and is essentially the main guy providing academic legal justification for Trump's attempt to dismantle the 14th Amendment's guarantee of birthright citizenship.
he lost. his position only got 4 votes. and yet that tweet is him doing a victory lap - he's bragging about "even though I lost, look how much I was able to accomplish in 18 months".
