(98,883 posts)abuses it will be quite difficult, and by all appearances, unlike the Gore V bush decision which was resolved quickly, this court goes out of their way to delay decisions, even to the effect of "running out the clock".
We have prestigious law firms capitulating under trump's executive orders, MSM outlets capitulating before this administration, that this SC has even opened the door to hear birthright citizenship at the request of trump trying to nullify something that has been in place for over 100 years in spite of 3 separate courts ruling against its nullification does not portend well, especially in the context that they had no problem with getting rid of Roe, whittling down the Civil Rights Act, etc. Stare decisis is no longer adhered to with this SC, Corporations are now viewed as people, Citizens United, which effectively opens the door to corporations trying to "buy" elections, because they ruled it "represents free speech". We will see how they view "free speech" when it comes to barring AP from the WH press Corp because it wouldn't refer to the "Gulf of Mexico" as "The Gulf of America".
The stakes were very clear on November 5, and too many people ignored it, or worse, actually agreed with it, even though trump made very clear what he was going to do.
