BREAKING: US Supreme Court releases opinion on birthright citizenship case
[7 minutes after the hour]
The document has just dropped from the Supreme Court. It’s 119 pages long, we’re reading through it currently. It appears that it will not be a clear upheld or rejected decision from the court. Stick with us.
I’m putting links to good, clear Bluesky threads into the comments.

Law Bluesky is a trip. Who gives a fuck?
Prediction: Footnote 18 from the universal injunction opinion will not stand the test of time
So an NBC article says that injunctions would now “apply only to states, groups and individuals that sued.”
Does that mean an injunction granted for a state suing on behalf of its residents would protect all those residents? Or is it more that it would protect only the state government itself?
If it’s the former, feels like yet another way life in blue and red states is seriously diverging
I have no idea and I’m really curious about that too. I follow a lot of people on law Bluesky and I’ve looked at a ton of posts already but I only found one post on that. It was by the CEO of the Onion.
So far it seems to be all jokes. Maybe in the coming hours - there will be some serious law content in there.

I don’t wish to leave my comrades in red states exposed directly to the fascist US, but at the same time id like to be able to build a safe, equitable, and affordable place for them to move to.
