The olde daze movie "Never On A Sunday" may get an update to "Always On A Friday:

"The Supreme Court is meeting Friday to decide the final six cases of its term, including President Donald Trump’s bid to enforce his executive order denying birthright citizenship to U.S.-born children of parents who are in the country illegally.

The justices take the bench at 10 a.m. for their last public session until the start of their new term on Oct. 6.

The birthright citizenship order has been blocked nationwide by three lower courts. The Trump administration made an emergency appeal to the Supreme Court to narrow the court orders that have prevented the citizenship changes from taking effect anywhere in the U.S.

The issue before the justices is whether to limit the authority of judges to issue nationwide injunctions, which have plagued both Republican and Democratic administrations in the past 10 years.

These nationwide court orders have emerged as an important check on Trump’s efforts and a source of mounting frustration to the Republican president and his allies."

(Supreme Court meets Friday to decide 6 remaining cases, including birthright citizenship).

Concerning that Friday (today) hearing, I recommend this song:

"You must leave now, take what you need, you think will last

But whatever you wish to keep, you better grab it fast

Yonder stands your orphan with his gun

Crying like a fire in the sun

Look out the saints are comin’ through

And it’s all over now, Baby Blue"

(It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue).

In your upcoming travels stay off Highway 61 (The Shape Shifters Of Bullshitistan - 27).

And may the fourth be with you.

1 song lyric excerpt is never enough.

"Hey Mr. Dinosaur
You really couldn't ask for more
You were God's favorite creature
But you didn't have a future
Walking in your footsteps
Walking in your footsteps
Walking in your footsteps
Walking in your footsteps"

--Gordon Sumner

China is developing "institutions" that function like the US congress and US supreme court (AP News).

There is only 1 Digby to go around in this world.

She must be shared.

Digby appeared on The Majority Report with Sam Seder, as she often does, on Thursday (July 3rd).

In an absolutely blood-curdling and spine-chilling discussion, Digby and Sam explained the new levels of ICE funding, and Digby shared some of the horrifying inside details (big bonu$e$ for Ice agent-thugs, lots more hiring, etc).

It's not all about Trump ---- Trump is just achieving what the GOP and the Billionaire class have wanted for many decades.

Digby starts around 23:50.

OMG.,
Real police-state stuff.

This is not a drill.

DonL,

Where have they been:

The danger is that the current authoritarian administration, congress, and supreme court are looking at the upcoming election as a get-even time.

They can use the administration's immunity from traditional law to the point they can prevent a democratic election.

They are planning to keep the current status quo by illegal power rather than by Musk money.

The relevant state and federal politicians who protect elections are a paper tiger in the current powers-that-be scenario.

(Here Come De Conservative Judges - 17).

That series began a decade and a half ago (2009) but of course the 'pop-culture' thought it was an irrelevant conspiracy theory (Here Come De Conservative Judges).

The current paper-tiger is composed of reactionaries rather than visionaries.

As usual (How To Enjoy The End Of Bad Choices).

Just sayin' ...
