It will make it to SCOTUS where a 5-4 decision will say that it's ok.
More reason why voting Democrat matters so much because those 4? Dem appointed.
Amen to that. I'm so tired of the debbie downers all claiming that Democrats are jUsTaSbAd. Fuuuuuck that noise.
Most of the time they're a right-wing extremist pretending to be a leftist or enlightened centrist. If you start probing these tankies, you see they have a blind-spot the size of Putin's bald-spot for Chinese or Russian atrocities, and their goal is oftentimes just to try to divide-and-conquer the genuine left-leaning Americans and stop them from voting, which helps fascists.
It’s actually impossible for two people to have different opinions about something, no matter how different their beliefs or life experiences are. There are only two reasons a person might disagree with you, either they’re being paid off by sinister forces or they’re a bot.
I don't exclude ignorance or poor critical-thinking skills either; though at the end of the day, that's still enabling of fascism, too.
Such as the case for when users ignore modifiers like, "Most of the time"
I'm not ignorant, I don't have poor critical-thinking skills, I'm not secretly a right-wing extremist or a Russian bot. I'm just fed up with establishment politicians who act like they're entitled to my vote while doing all sorts of horrible things and treating me with utter contempt and hostility for daring to acknowledge that Palestinians have rights.
I'll save you some confusion, Democrats are not left leaning.
I'd rather not pigeon-hole all Democrats in the same.
It's more accurate to say: Not all democrats are left leaning; but all left-leaning individuals in government are Democrats.
5-4 decision
I wouldn't give it more than 6-3. Isn't there 6 bigots on the big bench, or is one a wildcat?
Alito and Thomas are always terrible. Roberts sometimes does the right thing when he is worried about what history books will say about his court. The three Trump justices each have their moments of good and bad. Every decision is a roll of the dice.
Trump will call FIFA to clear this up
The judge quoted many of Trump’s comments against immigrants of color, including the time he railed against people coming to the U.S. from “shithole countries” or when he claimed Haitians are “poisoning the blood” of our country. In his second term as president, Trump attacked Somali Americansand accused them of adding “nothing” to the country, and oversaw violent immigration crackdowns across the country, particularly in Minnesota.
Marbley also highlighted Trump and Vance’s made-up accusation that Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, were eating people’s pet cats and dogs.
“If I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people, then that’s what I’m going to do,” Vance said in 2024, which Marbley quoted directly.
“shithole countries”
Which is yet more fucking IRONY from this administration, because A) He learned so much from shithole dictators and B) He is turning the US into a shithole.
We knew this back with the Central Park Six, We knew this back when his father was sued for refusing to rent to black families. We've known this for decades.
The Supreme Court already said these exact Trump comments weren't racist in the TPS case and that was 6-3. And they seem OK with Trump hating immigrants.
But no, Alito said. There’s a perfectly nonracial explanation for all of the dog whistles. “None of the cited statements by either the President or the Secretary was overtly racial, and in substance all expressed policy views that could rest on race-neutral justifications.” In other words, the Trump administration hates all types of immigration and wanted to roll back the TPS system as a whole; therefore, it couldn’t have acted racially in its decision. On top of that, the court said that it’s pretty much just a coincidence that the majority of TPS countries are predominantly nonwhite. That’s not the administration’s fault; it’s because “the great majority of countries granted TPS have ranked among the poorest nations of the world, and no European nation falls into that category.” The stability (and therefore superiority) of European nations is evidence to be used against any argument that the Trump administration was unfairly motivated by illegal racial animus.
None were overtly racial. Covert racism is fine.
The direction they're going in is that overt racism is now fine, in addition to covert racism. As long as there's also some other non-racial parallel reasoning.
Hurting minorities: There's a totally non-racist reason
Helping minorities: Unacceptable consideration of race/Racist against white people
I think you meant "reasoning".
Alito said
Isn't this the asshole flying that Seven Mountains Mandate flag?
Maybe the administration just misunderstood the meaning and the mandate of the White house.
