  • Well yea, that’s exactly what he’s after: Small parts of the country, mainly Federal Circuits that aren’t perceived to be “friendly” will have injunctions while those that grab their ankles for Trump and give him whatever he wants (i.e. the 5th) don’t do an injunction and the states are free to not grant citizenship at will.

    Conservatives relied on these national injunctions during the Biden admin just the way liberal groups are now. It’s dangerous to prognosticate with this Supreme Court but nationalwide injunctions have their purpose and I don’t see this changing.

    It should also be pointed out that Roberts has expressed dismay already with forum shopping. In 2023(?) he tried to pressure the Northern District of Texas to change its venue rules so parties couldn’t just keep filing in Amarillo. The presiding judge of the ND declined. So this has been an issue on Roberts’s radar for awhile. That may lead to some unforseen changes.






  • You hit it on the head!

    I’m all about trying to obstruct what the GOP are doing…but what’s the gain in picking this fight? What’s the “better deal” to be had?

    If I were a GOPer that truly cared about the national debt, I’d be pissed that Johnson is passing an extension of Biden spending priorities after he said back in December that the budget fight would come in March. Of course we’ll see how many “budget hawks” actually remember that conversation.
