I haven’t linked the fine Ninth Cir. remand order, because it is unsurprising, and correct as a matter of law. The able USDC Judge Tigar in Oakland is already underway, in getting a record put together, from the parties, to address the Hippocratic standing argument — and the scope of prior rules and orders (and Trump’s attempts to end them by Sharpie scribbles — there are reliance interests a-go-go there).
Mostly, I wanted to leave this one here — so that we may marvel at the hubris of the one conservative’s dissent.
For well-over 100 years, nationwide injunctions from federal courts have prevented people from violating others’ Constitutional rights. [Here think of George Wallace barring the doors of the University of Alabama to people of color.]
But this VanDyke guy would tell us that… this system of checks and balances is “getting in the way of” Tangerine 2.0’s lawless cruelty against primarily brown people — who’ve had the temerity to join us, seeking nothing — but a better life, for their children.
I am sick to death of these old (almost uniformly mediocre whyte) men whining that they can’t… get old Jim Crow back.
That is all.
