The Supreme Court is clearing the way for federal agents to conduct sweeping immigration operations in Los Angeles, another victory for President Donald Trump at the high court.
In particular, arrest because of race or language spoken is now allowed
when did SCOTUS decide to throw out a massive number of decisions without deliberation?
When their only job became clearing the way for the trump admin. This shadow docket shit is becoming a real problem for lower courts too because SC keeps ruling without elaborating their decisions. Its difficult to find judgement in line with this precedence without understanding how they’re reaching these conclusions.
Thankfully some of the lower courts are wising up to this shit. The thing about shadow dockets is they aren’t actual rulings. They provide no legal guidance. So what some courts are doing is only applying them to the exact specific question they ruled on. If a party in the case submits a plea worded slightly differently than the one SCOTUS ruled on, the lower courts are perfectly free to ignore the SCOTUS shadow dockets ruling. Only actual written briefs carry any kind of weight of precedent.
They don’t have to justify their decisions. They’ve gone full authoritarian and are aggressively, flagrantly arbitrary. “Because we said so and you can’t stop us” is their only reason. Fucking pigs.

Apparently they got tired of making shit up like during their last session.

A problem with decisions that are only made to kiss Trump’s ass is that it’s hard to fabricate even a weak chain of reasoning to support them.
