The Morning Rant
Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas on Monday dissented from the Supreme Court’s refusal to take up a case that they said forces police officers to create a separate set of rules for racial minorities. "It is dangerous to allow an individual to be treated differently based on statistics, studies, or expert testimony that purports to show that members of the racial or ethnic group to which he belongs are more likely to act in a certain way than are members of other groups," Alito wrote on behalf of himself and Thomas. "Here, the special treatment helped the individual; in other situations it will not." The case, U.S. v. Donte J. Carter, involved a Black man whose firearm and theft convictions were vacated after the D.C. Court of Appeals held that police seized him before they had reasonable suspicion. Officers later recovered a .40-caliber pistol from Carter’s pants and the government said the gun had been stolen from an FBI agent’s vehicle.
Read Alito's dissent for a rational destruction of this pathetic decision. I understand why the two retards and the reliable leftist voted for racial preference. And the new chick just wants to be in the club. And I understand that the chief justice is a wind vane without any philosophical foundation. But Gorsuch and Cavanaugh? I thought they had brains! This is a depressing bellwether of the court, and we should expect more of this sort of post-modern horror. The Constitution is clear about this question, and we fought a military civil war and a cultural civil war to end exactly what the court seems to be approving. This is a dangerous precedent that will have repercussions far beyond the criminal. Are we going to return to affirmative action? Because this seems suspiciously like that catastrophic foray into inequality! Maybe this time it will be explicit! Imagine a world in which blacks or any minority are allowed even greater leeway to break the law because of some cultural norm. That won't end well, and it may very well bring about wholesale changes in the way all Americans respond to law enforcement or, for that matter, any government action. And based on this decision, my hope for a ban on anchor babies just went up in smoke. Yuck! [Crossposted at CutJibNewsletter and X/Twitter].

Remember a week ago when a Howard "professor" (of journalism, natch) insisted that Austin Metcalf got what he deserved, and that white America needed to learn that black kids have "boundaries"; boundaries which apparently justify stabbing someone in the heart. She was making precisely the argument described in the quoted paragraph. She will not like where that ends up.

Or--and this would be even worse--a change in the way people respond to minority groups, as people assume the worst of them and that they won't be able to get justice for their acts. That would be catastrophic for all involved, ultimately.

They have to put us all in boxes so they can determine our worth, without having to wait on the results of our actions. It's a control issue, honestly. (If you define it, then you have authority over it, yes?)

Stupid decision by the DCCA (shocker) but it's standard practice for the SC to pass on cert until there's at least some real conflict among the circuits. Usually even one idiotic precedent in a lone circuit won't be enough. That's this situation here.
The most insane thing about this entire case is the utterly delusional finding by the DCCA that "Black men are more likely to comply with police demands rather than exercise their constitutional right to terminate a suspicionless police encounter."
Are they out of their fucking skulls? The biggest problem in the black community -- especially the criminal element -- is that they DON'T comply with reasonable police demands.
The other thing that's idiotic is that it's crystal clear from the facts of the case that this was a gang-banger. Any cop with a functioning brain would have known that.

Most stable democratic countries in the history of the world were able to remain stable because they were made up of only one ethnicity.
Multi-ethnic empires can work with an authoritarian ruler.
The United States cannot be the United States with an authoritarian ruler.
Our country can only work if all the people see themselves (and their fellow citizens) as citizens who happen to have different colored skin.
A country needs a unified people. When it becomes fighting between factions, you get the same result as all the other dying empires.
Which is what the left wants. They think they will build a utopia after killing the greatest nation the world has ever had.

This is a statement made by Abraham Lincoln during the 4th Lincoln-Douglas debate:
While I was at the hotel to-day an elderly gentleman called upon me to know whether I was really in favor of producing a perfect equality between the negroes and white people. [Great laughter.] While I had not proposed to myself on this occasion to say much on that subject, yet as the question was asked me I thought I would occupy perhaps five minutes in saying something in regard to it. I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races, [applause]—that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will for ever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality.

DC and the Second Circuit both were slapped down in opinion released from SCOTUS today. Alito makes a good argument, but the general rule of thumb is waiting for a split. The majority didn’t really agree with the facts of the case, they opted for the issue to marinate some more in the lower courts.

Passing on cert until there is a conflict is a bit of a double edged sword. But the purpose is for both arguments to develop and then distill into a fact set that SCOTUS can then turn into a single constitutional question. The downside is of course that liberals have used that as a scheme to deny people their constitutional rights. I think the real scandal lies in the 2A cases, especially the rifle and magazine bans which flout the constitution and even now have a circuit split. That’s years of denying the citizens a key right in the Bill of Rights and has measurable negative consequences.

You wrote that with an implied "only", and I disagree whole-heartedly. Ethnicity is NOT the issue (nor is race).

Breaking news: NBC News, Supreme Court rules against Rastafarian man over religious rights claim against prison officials, Published June 23, 2026
Supreme Court rules against Rastafarian man over religious rights claim against prison officials
Officials at a Louisiana prison cut off Damon Landor's dreadlocks in violation of his religious beliefs. The case centered on whether he could seek damages.
In part, Writing for the majority, conservative Justice Neil Gorsuch said that RLUIPA, which applies to any local prison that accepts any federal funding, does not allow for claims against individual officials.
The only way the suit could go forward would be if the officials had consented to face liability under the federal law, and they had not, Gorsuch added.
“Mr. Landor’s case cannot proceed against them any more than a breach of contract action might proceed against a defendant who never formed a contract,” he wrote.
In dissent, liberal Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson said the entire purpose of RLUIPA is to “ensure that state and local prisons respect prisoners’ right to religious exercise.”

I don't know if the Birthright Citizenship decision is out yet, but for the record I'll say again what I've thought they will do from when it was first announced - they will avoid making any decision on the direct issue, and instead rule that Trump has not the power to do this through an Executive Order.
Of course if they go all the way and declare Birthright Citizenship completely constitutional, then that will be a complete disaster.
I don't see any hope they'll support Trump's position on it.

"It is dangerous to allow an individual to be treated differently based on statistics, studies, or expert testimony that purports to show that members of the racial or ethnic group to which he belongs are more likely to act in a certain way than are members of other groups," Alito wrote on behalf of himself and Thomas. "Here, the special treatment helped the individual; in other situations it will not."
To be fair, SCOTUS recently upheld race could be a FACTOR in determining whether to do investigative questioning to determine immigration status, so it already is allowed to a limited extent...which I believe we all supported.

" Howard "professor" (of journalism, natch) insisted that Austin Metcalf got what he deserved, and that white America needed to learn that black kids have "boundaries"; boundaries which apparently justify stabbing someone in the heart."
And black guy came into their tent and taunted him "Don't you dare touch me, I can be in your space and you must accept that."
The Black Pride thang is like the Gay Pride thing. "We will come into your space and you must accept that". Not sure if there is more violence with the Black Pride thang (probably), but the Gay Pride wants to groom children and have men in women's bathrooms and in women's sports.
There is at least some resistance as with a few MLB players that refused to be Proud of anal sex and gender dysphoria, but most just go along to get along, sadly.

Most Americans have no idea the total and complete entitlement ghetto blacks have toward breaking the law.
They don't even believe it's breaking the law; the only thing wrong is the person confronting them.
It's not ordinary criminality, it's become an ingrained belief that no one can touch them, no one can stop them and no one can tell them to do anything.
But watch a few bodycam videos, any of these misnamed "teen takeovers" or a Juneteenth celebration; all the "chimping out."
One would struggle mightily to explain why the worst things a racist says are not ... true, as to those.
I feel bad for the normal blacks, the honest one, the American ones--they're being dragged down into this and if they dare speak out, they'll get attacked just as viciously as if they were white.

Multi-ethnic, yes - but one of the things that Rome was very good at was fusing everyone into a "Roman" culture, and leaving all else behind. They put a great deal of effort into it. The Christian revolution, for lack of a better word, was so successful because Constantine found a way to fuse Roman and Christian culture together.

Justice Jackson's RLUIPA statement was made in a dissent regarding a Rastafarian inmate who was denied the right to sue for monetary damages. On the Supreme Court, she has supported religious exercise claims based on statutory text, but she frequently parts ways with the conservative majority on matters balancing these rights with anti-discrimination laws.
In a major decision concerning a graphic designer who sought to refuse web services for same-sex weddings, Justice Jackson joined a dissent stating that the Court's ruling unconstitutionally granted businesses the right to discriminate against protected groups based on sincere religious beliefs.
She questioned the arguments of a conservative Christian therapist and the Alliance Defending Freedom in a case challenging state bans on conversion therapy for minors, suggesting that state medical regulations on professional conduct should not be undermined by First Amendment challenges.
Even before joining the Supreme Court, while serving as a federal judge, she allowed the religious discrimination lawsuit of a Christian Postal Service employee to proceed. (Gospel music on-the-job.)

So we're not 'officially' done with this yet, are we?

Prisons, even in Louisiana, would permit Rastafarians to keep their dreds if they obeyed the law and, therefore, didn't get sent to prison.

To add to my comment above, it appears that what the DCCA did in this case is nothing new.
There's precedent in the DC circuit that a factor in determining whether a seizure has taken place is "whether an objective and reasonable person sharing the defendant's generalized lived experiences arising out of their racial status" would have felt free to terminate the police encounter.
So this doesn't change anything. The SC has been ignoring this precedent for years. Alito and Thomas seem to want to finally consider it.

The significance of a circuit split is that it tends to force them to weigh in and take action.
Now do suits between states, the very reason SCOTUS exists.

Caracalla made everyone in the Empire a citizen; it was sort of hard to be an illegal after 212 AD. Prior to that they weren't illegals, either, just 2nd class or lower.
It's not exactly immigration when a legion shows up, bears your army's ass, drags your King back home and ritualistically strangles him, and then says "you're now part of our Empire."

DC and the Second Circuit both were slapped down in opinion released from SCOTUS today. Alito makes a good argument, but the general rule of thumb is waiting for a split. The majority didn’t really agree with the facts of the case, they opted for the issue to marinate some more in the lower courts.

This is good to keep in mind, if you want to keep your hair.
Often, it's better to make a ruling on good facts than reach on bad facts.*
Example:
Just about a year ago, SCOTUS struck down the redistricting of AL.
Post-Callias, they upheld the exact same map.
The difference was better facts to develop a broad rule.
* yes, yes, I know--that never stops the left and their shitty rulings, like Roe, stand for decades.

I don't expect any of the 'rons to pay attention to Canada, but this is pretty much the Gladue precedent we have in Canada. All natives are presumed to have been traumatized by being native in Canada, and so sentencing, legal defenses, etc. put them in a completely different (privileged) legal class.
Now, technically, they _are_ a different legal class. Technically they're Wards of the Crown and not Canadian citizens. Which is the root of much of the problem.

Clarence Thomas is a devout Catholic which has shaped his life in combination with his grandfather's simple philosophy which he came to understand as an adult.
He lost his faith temporarily because of racism but found it again as he had the tools his grandfather gave him to see more than anger.
We shouldn't forget that the Dems never have been and never will be colorblind.

I was injected with radioisotopes months ago. Still no super powers. What a ripoff.

I was implying that we are not exactly an empire. But that we work only as a unified people, regardless of race.
You can even have different cultures within the country if there is another unifying aspect.

I will concur with that.

"There's precedent in the DC circuit that a factor in determining whether a seizure has taken place is "whether an objective and reasonable person sharing the defendant's generalized lived experiences arising out of their racial status" would have felt free to terminate the police encounter."
Does that mean that certain selected groups are entitled, if they think a cop is hassling them, or maybe if they just aren't in the mood that day, they can simply walk away from a police encounter?
And is the penumbra that if the cop takes exception and stops the "termination", the group member can enforce specialized "boundaries" and shoot the cop? And if the cop tries to physically continue the "police encounter", they have a cell in the Chauvin Wing waiting?
