SCOTUS Watch

Drugs and 2A tea leaves: Oral arguments before the Supreme Court on Monday indicated that a federal law that disarms users of illegal drugs may be struck down. The plaintiff, Ali Danial Hemani, a "regular" user of marijuana, is facing prosecution for owning a handgun discovered when the FBI searched his home in 2022. Disarming those who consume mind-altering substances seems fairly reasonable, except in the face of the Second Amendment's "shall not be infringed" clause. The Trump administration is arguing in favor of disarming Hemani and against his Second Amendment rights on the theory of laws used to temporarily disarm "habitual drunkards." The Court does not seem overly fond of that theory. Justice Neil Gorsuch asked if the administration's theory would disarm for life a Coloradoan with a medical prescription who took one cannabis gummy every other night, which U.S. Deputy Solicitor General Sarah Harris admitted it would.
 
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson authored the Supreme Court’s unanimous ruling Wednesday ordering federal appeals courts to defer to immigration judges when reviewing asylum decisions, bolstering the executive branch's authority in immigration cases and handing the Trump administration a win as it pushes an aggressive deportation agenda.

KBJ is as dumb as box of rocks. And arrogantly leftist. Even Kagan doesn't like her. Recall that Biden's only criteria for picking a justice was that she be female and black. They said that. And of that combination, this idiot was the best they could find. Think about that. This idiot was the absolute best black female they could find for the job.
 
Supreme Court allows mail-in ballots received after Election Day
In a surprise 5-4 decision this morning, the Supreme Court upheld late mail-in ballot practices seen in states like California. Justices John Roberts and Amy Coney Barrett joined the leftists to allow ballots received as many as five days after Election Day, so long as they are postmarked by Election Day. Watson v. RNC centered on a Mississippi law intended to allow college students and the elderly to cast their votes. The decision is a significant win for Democrat mail-in ballot schemes, which Republicans view as opening the door to fraud. Justice Samuel Alito, in his dissent, argued, “Today’s decision leaves open opportunities for voter fraud that may further undermine Americans’ faith in the integrity of this country’s elections.”
 
Supreme Court allows president to fire bureaucrats without cause
Also this morning, the Supreme Court sided with President Donald Trump in POTUS v. Slaughter. Written by Chief Justice Roberts, the 6-3 decision explicitly allows the executive branch to fire Federal Trade Commissioners — and, by extension, other federal bureaucrats — without cause, since the “for cause” provision was held to violate the separation of powers. As constitutional law professor Jonathan Turley said, “The Slaughter decision is aptly named. It is a transformative ruling for the executive branch and future presidents. This has been a long-sought result of both Democratic and Republican presidents.” At the same time, SCOTUS held that Federal Reserve member Lisa Cook could not be fired until current lawsuits are allowed to play out.

BREAKING: Today the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 (in West Virginia v. B.P.J. and Little v. Hecox) to uphold state laws in Idaho and West Virginia (and similar ones elsewhere) that bar transgender women and girls from competing on female school and college sports teams based on biological sex.

The majority held that such bans do not violate Title IX or the Equal Protection Clause. Justices Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson dissented.
