Teddybear posted:I don't have the stats, but I believe it takes six votes to skip oral argument and issue a per curiam decision, which would be why with a 6-3 conservative majority you see it more often than in the past-- and on cases with a lot more heft. There was a 5-4 per curiam decision last year to let federal executions start again, after having stopped in 2003. All four liberals dissented.

Federal judge blocks Tennessee trans bathroom law. https://twitter.com/ErinInTheMorn/status/1413561384529453056 The tl;dr: the law would have required any business which allows trans people to use a bathroom to post a notice that, well, trans people were allowed to use the bathrooms in their facilities. (Same with locker rooms and such.) Allegedly, it was to prevent sex offenders from pretending to be trans and use that to gain access to sex-segregated spaces; when asked to provide examples of that happening, the legislators who passed the law couldn't come up with a single one. Also, the law dictated the minimum size of the notice (eight by six inches), the font (all-caps, boldface) and the colour (yellow on red). The judge took one look at the law and said "Nah, this isn't going to stand up to either strict scrutiny or rational basis, so here's an injuction against it while the challenge proper proceeds." Full text here if anyone wants to read it.

If Trump were actually smart I'd say this is an attempt to paint the extremely right wing SCOTUS as moderate but no, it's Trump just throwing a tantrum because his picks weren't insane enough to try and overturn the election in a decision that at best would've "only" resulted in nationwide rioting and at worst would've sparked a full scale civil war.

Trump is absolutely the kind of person whose response to that would be to rile up his cult until one of them makes an attempt on the judge in question. See: his reaction (or lack thereof) to the Trumpist plot to murder Whitmer.

IIRC Kav was specifically picked above the rest of the Heritage Foundation list nutjobs around him because he was on record that he believed a sitting president should have a bunch of legal immunity and his appointment came in the midst of the ongoing Mueller Investigation. Unsurprisingly Trump's idiot mush brain appears to have extrapolated this out to "Kav will protect me forever, even more-so now that I gave him a nice cushy appointment!"

If it'd come down to just Georgia or Arizona I think the SCOTUS could've stole it for him under a bullshit argument like in Bush v. Gore but when you have multiple states, even with some of them being very close, you can't really get away with it unless you're willing to risk civil war and pretty much guarantee that the person you're stealing the election for is going to become dictator for life.

Yeah the obvious goal was to declare victory election night while he was ahead and get Brooks Brothers riots to disrupt the count, Republican state governments to halt ballot counting and the SCOTUS to rubberstamp all this like in 2000. But he lost in too many states, some of them with split governments, and with red states like Georgia too close to call and Arizona getting called that night, there was no way they could make it look legal like Bush's team did. Kavanaugh even worked Bush v Gore, he knows when you can steal it legally and when you can't and this one wasn't even close to the line.

Honestly it doesn't make much sense, the guy was already a federal judge for life and would have had plenty of retirement income through the GOP if he wanted to leave his lifetime appointment job. As funny as it'd be if he blurted out something incriminating here by implying he fixed something for Kav that would have imperiled his career, it's just the usual variation on the Sir Story - tears in his eyes, wanting beer, needing debt paid off, saying sir please help me yadda yadda yadda

VitalSigns posted:can't buy cigarettes, can machine gun your homeroom class For what it's worth, you still have to be 21 to get an Federal Firearms License, which is required to own an actual machine gun. At this point I wouldn't be that surprised if this got struck down too, but it is currently the case. I point this out because automatic weapons are vanishingly rarely used in crimes. Because the NFA is so restrictive. And gun control works.

The Chud-dominated parts of the Federal Appellate Judiciary making themselves a De Facto Second Legislature is accelerating. They're either emboldened by feeling untouchable or desperate to cement as much of their preferred policy as possible as "precedent," before something derails the power they've gained.
