The Biden admin asked SCOTUS to delay cases on the former admin’s border wall (https://supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/20/20-138/167807/20210201145622795_20-138%20Sierra%20Club%20-%20Motion%20to%20Hold%20in%20Abeyance%20-%20final%20a.pdf…) and Remain in Mexico policy (https://supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/19/19-1212/167806/20210201143843402_19-1212%20Innovation%20Law%20Lab%20-%20Motion%20to%20Hold%20in%20Abeyance%20-%20FINAL.pdf…). Other pending immigration cases at SCOTUS include public charge and grant conditions for “sanctuary” jurisdictions.

I assume Suzanne will provide more coverage and analysis on CQ-Roll Call.
Let’s hope this is the first step to dismantling the disreputable “Supremes Shadow Docket” used by the Court and the SG’s Office during the Trump regime to screw asylum seekers and other migrants, deny due process, and stomp on human rights, many times without even deigning to provide a full rationale to those they are victimizing and abusing. Never seen so many totally unjustified stays of correct lower Federal Court rulings blocking blatantly illegal and invidious Executive action.
For many of us, it didn’t take an armed insurrection to show the Trump regime’s racism, contempt for democracy, and disregard of our Constitution. But, the Supremes’ GOP majority feigned ignorance that Trump wasn’t a “normal Executive” whose decisions might be entitled to “deference.” So much for all those fancy Ivy League law degrees! (Not to mention anti-American, anti-Democracy insurrectionists and conspiracy theory mongers Teddy Cruz and Josh Hawley who also had the benefit of what was once thought to be a “premier” legal education.)
America deserves better from its highest Court and the Government lawyers who appear before it! Hopefully, this is the beginning of a new day in American justice!
⚖️🗽🇺🇸Due Process Forever!
