The rebuke of Judge Murphy should have been unanimous

Yeah ... but ... politics.

[MV=PY]

Slap them down!

It’s rare when one of the female libs on SCOTUS acts reasonably. There is a reason that traditionally, the common law made reference to the reasonable man, and not the reasonable person. Women frequently can be unreasonable.

Kagan is partisan, but she’s not a hack. Sotomayor and Jackson are just scrubs

[Toughluck_freeper]

Good job Kagan

[Kahuna]

Justice Kagan deserves some credit.

[JZelle]

Now do Moss

Gitmo’ Murphy.

It’s the only solution.

Trump would have it done.

[Secret Agent Man]

Not surprising

Liberals in power do not like being ignored, by anyone challenging them

[blackdog]

So our democracy is at stake because of Tr......, ooh wait. Our democracy is at stake due to judges engaged in political alliances bias. That and self enrichment thru outside the court agencies and boards they sit on along with their spouses, children, friends, and associates.

The SCOTUS does not issue advisory opinions. Federal courts established under Article III of the U.S. Constitution generally cannot issue advisory opinions because they require a concrete case or controversy to have standing.
Advisory opinions are not binding.

The SCOTUS, I think, is afraid that if its lower activist courts don’t stop issuing plainly partisan orders, goaded by the lawyer army of one party, the other two branches may decide to treat decisions and opinions they do not like as advisory opinions.

I always looked at Kagan as more serious than the other two lefties.

bttt

[Fungi]

No she doesn’t.

[MinorityRepublican]

Kagan is partisan, but she’s not a hack.

Seems a pattern with Kagan. It's possible to reason with her.

In their dissent, Sotomayor and Jackson appeared to overlook the implications of a district court judge’s defiance of the Court’s earlier decision. Sotomayor complained that the new order “clarifies only one thing: Other litigants must follow the rules, but the administration has the Supreme Court on speed dial.”

Disgusting hack.

[StAnDeliver]

Rendition. It would only take one or two to pull the rest into line...

Our democracy is at stake due to judges [unelected] Kings engaged in political alliances bias.
