I am stunned that Alito was stunned by such an obvious, tightly-defined decision. This isn't to get aid money flowing again. This is to pay for things that have already been done by people that we hired to do them. How can Alito be stunned by this?

Because Alito is not a very good judge. He's very good at being a bigot and twisting words and concepts to fit his very narrow definitions of the world, but he is really not very good at being a judge. Or judging character.

I’d assume it’s more the Court is an activist Court with a 6-3 Conservative majority that should (in his mind) allow the rich and powerful to do whatever they want.

Apparently Barrett has been receiving a lot of ire from republicans who don't like her sudden turn to the more moderate line.
This is an important lesson for all conservative women. They tolerate you as long as you town the line. The minute you display independent thought, they'll turn and turn hard.

These people are not your friends, in spite of their pretty platitudes. If you are not a cis white man, then the GOP will eventually move against you. They tolerate you for now, for what you have or for what they want in the moment. They are not your friends.

The fight is not over. While this decision sucks, it simply blocks the injunction blocking the ban from going into effect. We still have a chance at beating this in court. Granted this will ruin some soldiers lives in the meantime, which really sucks and it's a definite setback.

Listen Live: Supreme Court hears arguments on Trump's birthright citizenship order

The Trump administration's bid to enforce its birthright citizenship executive orders gives the Supreme Court an opportunity to address the soundness of nationwide injunctions.

Note that this is over whether district judges can block something nationwide, or only over the plaintiffs involved in the lawsuit against the illegal orders, not over the EO itself.

Frankly, if SCOTUS strikes down nationwide injunctions, I'd be okay because I guarantee that will bite the republicans on the ass a lot quicker and a lot more than democrats.

Will it? SCOTUS will slow walk Republican jive yet fast track rulings on stuff that hurts Democrats.

Maybe. But if they tank national injunctions, they're going to have to put in some kind of SCOTUS fast track that takes these nationwide issues and gets them to the court immediately for either nationwide injunction or a place on the docket.
