On Monday, the Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to use racial profiling in its militarized immigration raids across Los Angeles, halting an injunction that had barred officers from targeting Latinos based on ethnicity. The court did not explain the reason for its shadow docket order, which appeared to split 6–3 along ideological lines. In dissent, Justice Sonia Sotomayor warned that the decision was “unconscionably irreconcilable with our nation’s constitutional guarantees,” opening the door to violent persecution of Latinos—including American citizens—by “masked agents with guns.” The majority did not respond to this extraordinary charge, perhaps because it is so obviously true.

I am not a lawyer so don't take this as legal advice. However it seems to me that the Supreme Court really doesn't give a shit about the law, the Constitution, or our rights.

We have all been figuring that out what every constitutional right not honored shit on one after another.

That's been true since they decided corporations are indistinguishable from a single human being.

Insert meme with photos of an enormous crowd, and one single person, and Pam claiming they're the same photo.
