On Friday of this past week, the Supreme Court of the United States make a ruling in the matter of Trump vs. CASA. Alexander Macris wrote about this at the Tree of Woe.
Trump, President of the United States, et al. v. CASA, Inc., et al.. is a Supreme Court case that originated when President Trump proclaimed Executive Order No. 14160, titled "Protecting the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship."
Issued on January 20, 2025, the order declared a new policy for the United States: persons born in the U.S. would not be recognized as citizens if their mother was unlawfully present or lawfully but temporarily present, and their father was neither a U.S. citizen nor a lawful permanent resident at the time of their birth. This executive action directly challenged a century of settled law and interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment's Citizenship Clause.
Predictably, the EO ignited a conflagration of lawsuits. Individuals, organizations like CASA, Inc., and a coalition of 22 states, the District of Columbia, and the city of San Francisco, filed separate suits in federal district courts in Maryland, Massachusetts, and Washington. They sought to enjoin the implementation and enforcement of Executive Order 14160, arguing it violated the Fourteenth Amendment and Section 201 of the Nationality Act of 1940.
Each district court, without exception, found the Executive Order likely unlawful and, crucially, issued universal preliminary injunctions. These injunctions barred executive officials from applying the Executive Order to anyone, not just the plaintiffs in the respective cases. The Courts of Appeals, in turn, denied the Government's requests to stay this sweeping relief. Accordingly, the case was brought before the United States Supreme Court.
Those who have been in tune with events saw what was done coming: Supreme Court Rules that Judges Don’t Get to Just Rule
You will want to read the rest of Macris's article. He goes into the depths of Opinion, the brutal way the majority crushed Judge DEI's dissent, the opinions that concur and dissent from the majority, and then comes to this conclusion:
Now, with the courts no longer tying his hands, Trump can do what he wants domestically. He has the chance to prove that his platform was more than rhetoric, that he can translate populist will into institutional change. But if he drifts further into global entanglements, seduced by the drama of war or the applause of the foreign policy establishment, then he’ll prove just the opposite.
Which we shall see, despite the efforts of those same treasonous judges to workaround this conclusive ruling as I write this post, as the Administration now has permission--legal and thus political cover--to flat out ignore such judicial interference in the attempt to enforce Globohomo power upon someone not a Thrall to Empire wielding power against it.
Empire is falling.
