    Dem "proud to be an American" has plummeted since 2016, while Indies are more of a slow erosion, but they're getting to the same place.

    The table showing party affiliation by age cohort is really telling.

    Pretty good explainer on NPR a little while ago. Basically

    these nationwide injunctions in general are a big problem for both sides (!!) 

    this was the dumbest case to pick to rule on them because it most likely is a slam dunk to certify as a class action (and should happen soon)

    all signs point to Trump losing when birthright citizenship ruling on merits comes (arguments begin in October)

    very possible someone born with birthright citizenship gets deported if they are in a state not currently suing the administration and proceedings happen before SCOTUS issue ruling on the actual EO (but apparently something in this ruling put in by ACB makes that much less likely)

    experts were Painter (ethics lawyer for W’s WH and some retired lady federal judge whose name I didn’t catch 

    I think the only nit I would pick with this summary is that if the current case gets amended to assert a class action the district court in fairly short order could certify a class or perhaps issue a new injunction based on a proposed class (not sure if court has power to enjoin for entire prospective class prior to certification) to prevent anyone from being deported under EO before current injunction expires (which I thought I heard wouldn't be for another 30 days).

    I mean don't you have to join a class action? even if free (considering there is no payout in the end I doubt it) aren't there time frames? so to get relief you have to hope you are not deported before you are able to join a class action?

    We no longer have rights, those have been replaced as jump through hoops. I can't wait for the interpreations of right to life, you can only sue once you are dead.

    Typically you are automatically in if you fall within the scope of the certified class and would then have to opt out if you didn't want the ruling to apply to you.

    Wife. She was born in thr US, so I don't know if she technically gained citizenship through birthright or through or some other means at the time of adoption.

    As I recall, the language of the EO was only prospective in nature (at least at this point) (presumably to protect Barron, the cyber).

    My wife was born in the US to a Korean non-citizen who was in the US for school, then immediately adopted. We live in Texas. Can anyone tell me how concerned we should be?

  6. @TwiceHorn Do you know if the plaintiff(s) in this case can easily amend to assert class action allegations?  If so I wonder whether and how quickly the district court could then certify the class or issue a TRO/TI based on class action claims.  Seems like the only way to address this nationwide.  

    The ramifications of this decision on cases in which class action certification would not be available are huge and will likely lead to bizarre outcomes.  

    Congress and now the courts have ceded their authority to the executive branch.  Welcome to the new fascist monarchy.

    Seriously.  Are people on this board serious trying to downplay an outstanding job by our military because of fucking politics.  JFC.

    No one on this board is downplaying the military's job for political purposes.  The Trump administration is clearly overselling an impressive operation because of....politics.

    Some on this board are wondering exactly how this sort of operation was as complex as the administration is claiming.

    Did they have to operate with radio and all other communications silence while coordinating?  If there were multiple pilots, how does a 36 hour flight rise to the level of unprecedented and difficult? etc., etc.

    On the judges thing, it might be better characterized as a suit against a Local Rule, or still more accurately, a Standing Order.

    D. MD. enacted this standing order https://www.mdd.uscourts.gov/sites/mdd/files/Amended 2025-01.pdf 

    That says for detainees seeking habeas corpus, certain rules apply to insure proper names are used, and to give enough time to deal with it on an emergency basis, deportations of habeas petitioners are stayed for two days.  Two.  Fucking.  Days.

    Such orders come from the Chief Judge of the District, usually with the advice of the other judges.  The first authority to undo such a rule would be the Chief Judge of the Circuit sitting over the district, the Fourth Circuit.  Then I suppose the Supreme Court, which retains authority over all federal court rules.

    The government is also asking that all judges of D. MD. ostensibly party to this rule or order be recused from such cases in the future, based apparently on the bias this reflects.

    I suspect the Supreme Court will overturn this rule this goes nowhere.  Totally embarrassing for the US DOJ.  Fucking clown show.

    FIFY

    I saw the trailer for this yesterday it reminded me (not sure why) that I needed to watch David Tennant's The Escape Artist again. My wife hadn't seen it, and she thought it was great for a three-hour miniseries. It's on Amazon Prime, Tubi, and Freeve. 

    Wow. Just started this. Thank you again for the rec. Csb the bad guy (Toby Kebbell) is my little brother’s friend.

    NPR reporter commented that this was the first time in memory that an American president intentionally used "fuck" in a press conference.  The dismal tide, or just a salty sailor?

    Remember that time when Barbara Bush called Geraldine Ferraro a bitch (well actually she didn't say the word but just said it "rhymes with rich")?  I do.  Lots of pearls were clutched.

    If he actually thinks that he is a retard. There is no more “boots on the ground” in warfare. That is done. They’re testing a fighter jet controlled by AI for fucksake. Warfare is just people shooting drones and missles at each other from now on. 

    Well that settles it.  Civil War 2 is coming.
