Did they just erase the 14th Amendment and made it null and void? https://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/amendmentxiv I get it now. It says no State and not no federal. Federal is not a State.
"Section 1.
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
I am not a lawyer so don't take this as legal advice. However it seems to me that the Supreme Court really doesn't give a shit about the law, the Constitution, or our rights.
We have all been figuring that out what every constitutional right not honored shit on one after another.
I mean the decision to give presidents immunity from the law made that glaringly obvious
That's been true since they decided corporations are indistinguishable from a single human being.
Insert meme with photos of an enormous crowd, and one single person, and Pam claiming they're the same photo.
They gutted the 14th when they allowed Trump to run. They also used it to justify corporate personhood. Facists don’t really uphold anything ever except their own corruption and bigotry.
Terry stop was deemed legal in 1960s. This was expected as long a white people are safe or not effected.
Never heard of that before so for others:
Wikipedia link.
Stop and Frisk was the common name. It was used on NYC to target....wait for it.... people of color.
Didn't the 14th Amendment also bind the federal government to the Bill of Rights at least? One ammendment did anyway but it was implemented oddly by the courts.
The "Bill of Rights" is just a fancy name for the first 10 amendments to the Constitution. As such, they are inherently a binding part of the Constitution. No other amendment is required to make them valid.
Until around the Civil War the Bill of Rights only applied to States and not the federal government. It was not an issue before that because the federal government was not up in everybody's business either. They are only authorized to regulate interstate commerce in the us, and forbidden from inhibiting the free movements of people and goods in between the states.
This isn't a ruling, so no. This is a temporary measure before they hear the case. Calling it the "shadow docket" is intentionally inflammatory. Yes, it is shitty, but it is not (yet) binding.
