Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Blocks is a very odd word for something that was allowed and I'm sure will continue to be allowed to happen. Literally in the article Facepalm

Breyer put the ruling on hold until September 12. The Trump administration is likely to appeal.

Why does the US court system work like this? If a court has ruled this action illegal, why is the bad actor allowed to continue doing it pending a failed appeal? Why is it not the other way around and the illegal action has to immediately stop pending a successful appeal?

The US justice system is a complete joke, designed only to oppress the poor and minorities. The sooner Americans wake up, the better.

It is common practice for a judge to do, what isn't normal is an immediate filing for temporary injunction until appeals are exhausted. Basically the judge is just saying I know you're probably going to appeal so here's time for that to happen before anything is applied and we have to reverse things which is more hassle and more time for chucklefuckery.

That'll be useful 3 months ago.

I guess I would take it being a US judge as a given. Not that this admin listens to our judges anyhow, bit I expect one from another country would hold even less sway.

[–] Stovetop@lemmy.world 26 points 2 days ago

I think it's to distinguish from a state or local judge, basically using "US" as a shorthand for the fed. A judge whose rulings apply nationally as opposed to state or local jurisdictions.

[–] ganksy@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

They just mean US as in Federal jurisdiction. It's unfortunately unambitious.

[–] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

A symbolic gesture at best. Trump has replaced all the military higher ups with loyal people who will obey him above the last and now knows he can just ignore court orders without consequences.
