President Trump continues his relentless efforts to restore sanity to the nation. Earlier Supreme Court victories did away with District Courts being able to issue NATIONWIDE stays (while the case is pending Iin the district court) that prevent the government from enforcing its new rule that blocks immigrants from getting a green card if they have incurred a “Public Charge”. This current case precludes this Illinois US district court from issuing a stay for its jurisdiction (Illinois) while the case pends. I’m assuming THIS Supreme Court decision can be referenced if any other District Court tries to issue a temporary stay (to preclude enforcement of the new public charge rue) for its local jurisdiction.

And more broadly, Sotomayor stressed, the government “has recently sought stays in an unprecedented number of cases, demanding immediate attention and consuming limited Court resources in each.”

And who's fault is that, Justice Sotomayor? Could it be the unprecedented number of absurd lower court rulings issuing these kinds of injunctions?

5-4. A mere one vote threshold for sanity.

Couldn’t someone take RBG for a polar bear swim? If she’s so strong, I’m sure that plunging into a sub zero pond will bring roses to her cheeks...

Sotomayor is a Hispanic Marxist pig, not an American. Everything to her is “immigration, immigrants, illegal immigrants rights, etc). Nothing about protecting the sovereignty of a nation and its borders, having people enter legally like so many do, and behaving in a lawful manner when here no matter what their immigration status is.

In other words, she’s a leftist Hispanic irredentist POS, not an American.

We need two more conservative American justices. We have too many Marxist globalists there now.

“I’m assuming THIS Supreme Court decision can be referenced if any other District Court tries to issue a temporary stay (to preclude enforcement of the new public charge rue) for its local jurisdiction. “

actually, the issue is the legitimacy of the issuance of nationwide injunctions by lowly district courts, not stays of said injunctions, which can be issues only by courts higher than district courts.

unfortunately, SCOTUS has yet to take a case where they can specifically rule on the legitimacy of nationwide injunctions in general by lowly district courts, and i doubt that SCOTUS issuing individual stays based on issues specific to those specific cases provides much guidance to higher courts on staying nationwide injunctions by district courts in general, which is why our two newest SCOTUS judges want to adjudicate a case that decides once and for all the legitimacy of a district court trying to make a ruling that affects the entire nation, namely because that is SCOTUS’ job, not the job of lowly district courts which should have jurisdiction over only their own districts ...

I love Sotomayor’s response. Litigants should stop bothering the court over and over again when lower courts overstep their bounds. There’s limited resources...

There’s a solution there, SCOTUS taking actual action towards the courts below for creating these situations that is so troubling to Sotomayor.

But hey, it’s fun to just blame the victim...
