AnarchoNinaAnalyzes<p>Well, I'm not going to lie. This took me eight days, and almost made me move to a cave on the edge of civilization, but I wrote an article about the Roberts Courts decisions in both the trafficking migrants to third country concentration camps case, as the birthright citizenship case. My analysis is pretty grim, but you folks don't read me for sunshine and rainbows.</p><p><a href="https://www.ninaillingworth.com/2025/07/01/knives-out-the-roberts-court-coronates-trump/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">ninaillingworth.com/2025/07/01</span><span class="invisible">/knives-out-the-roberts-court-coronates-trump/</span></a></p><p>Knives Out: The Roberts Court Coronates Trump</p><p>"So let’s sum up what we’re looking at here, shall we? Over the course of a single week in June, the 6-3 fascist high Roberts Court openly signaled SCOTUS’s willingness to let the Trump regime ruthlessly violate the constitutional rights of immigrants, including children with a legal right to American citizenship, while simultaneously eliminating every other court in America’s ability to stop the government from violating anyone’s rights unless they can afford a lawyer and get a case to trial, twice. At the same time, the Trump administration publicly declared their intentions to immediately begin ignoring the law to traffic migrants to foreign concentration camps, strip citizenship from people born in the United States, defund Dem-controlled sanctuary cities who won’t help Trump illegally kidnap migrants, block access to gender affirming healthcare for trans people, end enforce unconstitutional funding cuts in the broader US government. And then the Court closed up shop for the term."</p><p><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Fascism</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/SCOTUS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SCOTUS</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/JohnRoberts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>JohnRoberts</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/AmyConeyBarrett" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AmyConeyBarrett</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/USConstitution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USConstitution</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/14thAmendment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>14thAmendment</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/BirthrightCitizenship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BirthrightCitizenship</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/ConcentrationCamps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ConcentrationCamps</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Courts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Courts</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Law" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Law</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/CivilRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CivilRights</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/HumanRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HumanRights</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Nazis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Nazis</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/RobertsCourt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RobertsCourt</span></a></p>
