Supreme Court Predictions
National Review ^ | June 20, 2025 | By ED WHELAN

Posted on 06/23/2025 12:38:41 PM PDT by 11th_VA

The Supreme Court issued decisions in six cases today, so that leaves just ten cases remaining on its docket for the term. It’s now possible to hazard a decent guess as to which justice will write the majority opinion in each of the remaining cases.…

…The two remaining cases from April are both big: Kennedy v. Braidwood Management (Appointments Clause challenge to Preventive Services Task Force) and Mahmoud v. Taylor (religious rights of public-school parents). Alito, Kagan, and Jackson haven’t written for April. I’ll guess Alito for Mahmoud. I can’t see either Kagan or Jackson being assigned to write Kennedy (unless for Kagan she didn’t get a case for March), so I’ll guess that the Chief either takes that one for himself or assigns it to Kavanaugh or Barrett.

On the special sitting in May for Trump v. CASA (nationwide injunctions against executive order on birthright citizenship), I’ll guess the Chief.

The alert reader will discern that I am projecting that Jackson ends up with only five assignments and that Sotomayor might also have only five. When you’re often not in the majority, it’s tough to get a pro rata share of majority assignments.

Don’t bet on any of these predictions. The next scheduled announcement session is next Thursday.

Roberts and Conehead will join the Marxists to defeat Trump and America on birthright citizenship.

The real prediction is who’s out in a couple of weeks. Ideally it would be Thomas. A black replacement would push the most buttons.

Thomas or Alito quitting would give Trump another round to aim at the left while they’re scrambling for relevance. Perhaps one that infuriates the enviro-nuts would work best.

Or maybe no one will resign.

They will never end “birth right citizenship” since replacing Americans with third worlders goes beyond the political divide .

But they can stipulate that illegals cannot claim birth right citizenship for any children born here.

“And?”


Below is the SCOTUS thread from June 20th showing the cases decided. If you want to be added to the SCOTUS ping list, let me know. I’ll do a new thread for Thursday morning. I usually start it around 9:45 on Opinion day.

I'd add a qualifier: "A black conservative strict constructionist replacement would push the most buttons."

While I like the conservative justices that are there, just in case something changes in the mid-terms it is time to get younger replacements going and get them confirmed while we have the majority.

It should be 9-0 keeping birthrate citizenship. Everyone on earth knows if you’re born here, you are a citizen. Not rocket science.

That is just plain not true.

The US constitution specifically excludes "Indians not taxed" for purposes of voting apportionment. Clearly these untaxed Indians were born in the land mass of the United States, but were not subject to our laws and taxation, and were therefor not citizens and not entitled to vote.
