Class actions require a few extra steps. Yes, can get same results. But, it will be interesting to see a court certify harm to a group of ‘future anchor babies’ since their parents are breaking the law. Create a law for those breaking the law by entering the country illegally? I could see the court easily certifying a class action for those here now. Especially, one of the judges that already ruled the EO unconstitutional. Future? Not quite sure that will fly. Will definitely take some twisting. How would the court define and certify harm to anyone from anywhere at any time in the future who happens to have a baby while on U.S. soil? Would seem overly broad for a certified class action. This question will be at SCOTUS again this fall as Bondi said. Meanwhile, it will stop at a judgement from an appeals court since SCOTUS doesn’t return until October. My thoughts.

In wrapping up this session the Supreme Court finished strong. In the last couple of days we have: Trump v. Casa - The Supreme Court said that federal district judges have been greatly overstepping their authority in issuing universal injunctions. As an example from what I googled, G W Bush had 12 universal injunctions in 8 years. Obama had 20 in 8 years. Trump has had 40 in less than 5 months. Of those, 35 were issued in only 5 districts. So out of almost 100 federal district courts, 5 have been used as a hatchet job. Anything that Trump does, take it to one of those federal courts and end it. Had Obama had this happen so the same pace as Trump, he would have had 900 universal injunctions, not 20. Mahmoud v. Taylor - In Montgomery County, Maryland, the school board decided that several LGBTQ books would be used from Pre-K through 5th grade. The district however had an opt out option if the teacher used the books for class assignments. Not so shockingly, the school district was stunned at the volume of opt out requests. So they changed the policy to no opt outs allowed for any reason. The Supreme Court struck down the ban on an opt out choice as it violated the First Amendment right to freedom of religion. Apparently some people have forgotten or haven’t understood that freedom of religion at school doesn’t mean only that religion can’t be pushed at public schools but it also can’t be denied. Seriously, who thinks that reading books on sexuality starting at 4 years old is a good thing… much less forced. Free Speech Coalition v. Paxton - Yep, a Texas case. Texas passed a law where accessing online adult content sites required age verification. The FSC claimed that it violated the free speech of adults to require age verification. The Texas law did not ban anything but only required age verification. The FSC claimed that showing your age violated the Constitution. The Supreme Court said that the state governments already restrict such material from over the county sales and a person can be asked to verify age by producing an ID. The same is true for tobacco and alcohol sales as examples. So why should digital media have less of a standard? The Supreme Court said that it didn’t and having as age requirement for online material that minors might access is no different than face to face, over the counter transactions. Overall it seems like a great couple of days from SCOTUS.

This was a good ruling and fair. Question, they are saying now they can do a "class action" and get the same result. Is that going to be more difficult to do?

Oh, the fear mongering for all the anchor babies over this ruling has been outstanding! 😂🤣 If you don’t get twisted in knots over that issue, apparently the entire public education system in this country is going to fail because parents can opt out of forced teaching their kindergartners about transsexuals and gay marriage in the public school system. Heaven help us all… Anyone for a little R.E.M. ‘End of the World’? [Hidden Content]

The funny thing is I suspect DCT really thought he had something....lol

Two republicans voted against it and it still passed to debate. The BBB will go through. Trump is on a roll.....

I think I’ll Pelosi this one.

HD? Where is Wallace headed?

The RANGERS had multiple chances to win the seattle series but can’t hit with runners on base. Hitting , or the lack of hitting, had been the story of the 1st half of the season. I sure hope something changes in the 2nd half.

Yep, tears them up every time. I didn’t even research this young man. The left lives for drama even if they have to create it. My statement still stands.

Expected. Yes, I expected a one word response rather than addressing my comment. It should appear quite obvious to anyone that the original post was to try to make it seem like this guy was the head of Homeland Security “terrorist prevention” as in, having some authority over the military, CIA and so on. I wonder how many people reading the opening comment believed that it was a person of some real authority and not a group of less than 20 people who coordinates to give out grants to non-profit private organizations and universities. Yep, absolutely expected!

This con man.

Expected.

I know but but Biden. SMH.

This is what a true leader looks like!

This thread 🤦‍♂️

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 You would think that he was named the head of the CIA or the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff for this military. He is the head of an agency with less than 20 people. It’s function is to coordinate with federal, state and local governments and non-profit organizations and universities mainly by giving grants for the study on how to recognize and prevent terrorism. OMG!! The country is going to fold if some free money to non-profits and universities isn’t divided up right!!! 😂😂😂😂😂

JMO but whoever wins R3 will be an underdog to Tidehaven in the semis (if they win R4 which is no guarantee)....Tidehaven returns the house

Personally, I think an A/B high school grad could definitely do a better job than Mayorkas or Kamala (border czar). They both set the bar very low.

Mariners win 6-4 in 12 We still 6 1/2 up Long road trip with real test against Dodgers but can be done.

Abreu was on today. Going 2 innings in relief. Another typical outing for Framber and Hader.

Rangers going into 12th tied 3-3 crazy game. Didn't think I would be pulling for them.

A spokesperson for the Trump administration also told ProPublica that the "notion that this single office is responsible for preventing terrorism is not only incorrect, it's ignorant.” [Hidden Content] Yep. The ignorant thinking part sounds about right…

Astros last 11 series….9 wins, 2 ties. Man, just think about when we get our pitchers back lol
