BREAKING: US Supreme Court releases opinion on birthright citizenship case

[7 minutes after the hour]

The document has just dropped from the Supreme Court. It's 119 pages long, we're reading through it currently. It appears that it will not be a clear upheld or rejected decision from the court. Stick with us.

I'm putting links to good, clear Bluesky threads into the comments.

Law Bluesky is a trip. Who gives a fuck?

In a deathblow to the ability to stop blatantly lawless and unconstitutional actions by the government, the Supreme Court just gutted the ability to get universal injunctions.

[...]

It's not hyperbole to call this case the death of meaningful constitutional rights in the United States. If you do not have an attorney that can litigate against the government, you no longer have rights. This will go down in history as the gutting of the constitutional order.

As a practical matter, the Trump administration can start drawing up its plans to strip citizenship of millions of people and render them stateless. We could be weeks to months away from thousands losing citizenship by falling through the legal cracks.
