I have a dream denied

[angrychair]

The latest SCOTUS ruling is incredibly disturbing. The majority giving no explanation for their ruling is even more disturbing.

I also cannot find any legal explanation of the implications of this ruling so my imagination may be running a little wild here.

As I read understand the the brief details, SCOTUS is saying, essentially, that people of color no longer have access to fundamental rights of the Constitution and that people of color can now be arrested for any reason or no reason at all. It can be based on just what they look like or where they happen to be standing.

This is incredibly disturbing and I cannot understand why the Internet is not on fire over this.

Is my understanding of that SCOTUS ruling wrong?

1. I see it the same way you do.

8. So does this old white woman ...

"Profiling is just an inconvenience that could easily be cleared up once the proper documents are produced..."
How many people carry their passports or birth certificates with them while they're out doing normal errands?
How many people in LA were assaulted or spent hours - or days - in handcuffs while a group of petty masked bullies in cobbled together uniformd decides they want to show some supposed "uppity, lying illegal" they're the boss?

2. K&R

The Shadow Docket should be destroyed.

16. No rulings without legal reasoning explained.

I agree no shadow docket. If you need to issue an emergency ruling, do it, but schedule a timely explanation of the issues, even before a full hearing.

3. Whites Only

The SCOTUS just enabled the administration to hang a big "Whites Only" sign on the entire country. It's sickening to see our Constitution basically become worthless in 8 months.

4. Yes, it is incredibly disturbing

I can see this rapidly degenerating to anyone at anytime can be arrested and disappeared. The Evil 6 Supremes are just rubber stamping whatever gets into trump's little pea brain. It will be interesting to see their reaction when he decides he doesn't want to waste time going through the process anymore, and does away with the lot of them.

10. I wonder which ones are in the Epstein files.

Hmmm?

12. "Incredibly"

is an understatement.

WTF is going on? SCOTUS must want an oligarchy too. This is beyond corrupt.

[yellow dahlia]

15. And soon all protestors will be identified as terrorists, and all of us

aging hippies can be stopped at will.

SCOTUS is tasked with normalizing it all.

[Eliot Rosewater]

5. The legal justification is "the piece of shit told us to do it"

[Picaro]

6. See it the same way

The Supreme Court somehow, some way needs to be disempowered.

[multigraincracker]

7. Does that also mean that cops with darker

Skin tones may stop and arrest grayish pink people?

[SickOfTheOnePct]

9. Kavanaugh wrote in support of the decision

But I didn't see anything else.

Basically that race/ethnicity alone can't be cause for reasonable suspicion, but can be taken into account along with language, type of work, location, etc.

[surfered]

11. My understanding: Darker skin color is sufficient probable cause.

[SidneyR]

13. White people should use shoe polish or some such thing to color their face.

And then watch the reaction when they wipe it off as they're pulled over.

14. My repost, I read the book "Remembering" by Sinead O'Connor in which she worked with Dr. Phil

and she quoted him saying that “…he was recently at a meeting attended by Steve Bannon. And that the Trump people had actually discussed at that meeting the idea of MAGA being MAWA. Make America White Again. He acted all disgusted when telling me.”
