48. The cases are all about the same birthright citizenship EO. It's all a bullshit game by the SCOTUS conservatives.

Dec 9

The 3 liberal justices opposed cert from the beginning with regard to this EO, there is no reason to believe they have changed their minds or voted in favor of cert in the latest birthright citizenship case to come up.

SCOTUS did not need to grant cert to resolve the matter. Simply denying cert would have resolved the matter "once and for all," since there is no conflict among the circuits. There is absolutely no reason to have taken up these EO cases, other than to judicially rewrite the 14th Amendment to delete all or part of birthright citizenship.

If the SCOTUS conservatives wanted to uphold the 14th Amendment's birthright citizenship provisions, they would not have struck down nationwide injunctions on Trump's birthright citizenship EO. SCOTUS conservatives had no problem with nationwide injunctions against Biden EOs. That shows this is an outcome determinative game SCOTUS conservatives are playing.

Your attempt to give their game some legitimacy by suggesting it is supported by the 3 liberal justices is indeed offensive.

No dissents to the grant of certiorari were noted. onenote Dec 2025 #15

SCOTUS already granted certiorari months ago for the injunction issue (with vociferous dissents from the 3 liberals). SunSeeker Dec 2025 #29

You are mistaken. onenote Dec 2025 #32

It is you who is mistaken. There is absolutely no basis to suggest that Sotomayor, Jackson and Kagan have flipped. SunSeeker Dec 2025 #33

I'm absolutely, positively not wrong. onenote Dec 2025 #35

Sotomayor, Jackson and Kagan have not flipped. You are dead wrong in suggesting they did. nt SunSeeker Dec 2025 #36

Wow. Just wow. onenote Dec 2025 #38

You started this be saying no dissents were noted. What was your point other than to suggest they flipped? SunSeeker Dec 2025 #39

My point was to make clear no one had noted a dissent. Nothing more or less. onenote Dec 2025 #40

So you just made a pointless post. Got it. nt SunSeeker Dec 2025 #41

And you stand by your lie about when cert was granted. Got it. nt onenote Dec 2025 #43

I didn't lie about when cert was granted. I'm not the one telling lies here. nt SunSeeker Dec 2025 #44

Yeah you did. onenote Dec 2025 #45

No I didn't. As I said, the prior ruling, with 3 dissents, involved the exact same Executive Order. SunSeeker Dec 2025 #46

You said certiorari had been granted. It hadn't and you have to know that by now. Not even the same case. onenote Dec 9 #47
