Republicans Vote Against Move to Stop ICE Deporting US Citizens
Source: Newsweek
House Republicans have voted down an effort to block immigration enforcers from using federal resources to detain or deport U.S. citizens.
During a House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, Democrats tabled amedments to a sweeping budget bill that President Donald Trump has dubbed "one big, beautiful bill."
One amendment introduced by Representative Pramila Jayapal, the Democrat from Washington state, sought to make clear Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) cannot detain or deport U.S. citizens under any circumstances.
However, GOP lawmakers killed the amendment.

The Supreme Court didn't make up the case you cited. Cases are brought to them, and they choose which ones they want to rule on.

(2,755 posts)their case out of whole cloth using a fictitious person. The supremacist court took the case because they wanted to make a particular ruling. They have already made the big jump, it is just a small hop to getting a bespoke case made up for them.

(20,437 posts)I was just responding to your statement that SCOTUS could "just have someone make something up."
There are certainly conservative organizations that look for cases they can bring to contest some law or previous court ruling they don't like (and liberal ones that do the same thing). I just don't think the Court engineers those things themselves, as your comment implied. I do think they often pick and choose cases like this one to rule on, but that's not quite the same thing.
Getting someone to make up a bespoke case would be a risky maneuver, and they don't need to take a risk like that. They know the cases are going to come to them. All they have to do is wait.

Something the Dems are starting to learn from.
That reminds me of President Lincoln when he pointed out the probable collusion between Buchanan (the White House), Douglass (the Senate opposition leader) and Taney (the Supreme Court Chief Justice).

We cannot absolutely know that all these exact adaptations are the result of preconcert. But when we see a lot of framed timbers, different potions of which we know have been gotten out at different times and places and by different workmen,- Stephen, Franklin, Roger and James, for instance-and we see these timbers joined together, and see they exactly make the frame of a house or a mill, all the tenons and mortieses exactly fitting, and all the lengths and proportions of the different pieces exactly adapted to their respective places, and not a piece too many or too few-not omitting even scaffolding-or, if a single piece be lacking, we see the place in the frame exactly fitted and prepared to yet bring such piece in-in such a case, we find it impossible not to believe that Stephen and Franklin and Roger and James all understood one another from the beginning, and all worked upon a common plan or draft drawn up before the first lick was struck.

Stephen Douglas: If any one man choose to enslave another, no third man shall be allowed to object.
James Buchanan: Whether the people can constitutionally exclude slavery from their limits is a question for the Supreme Court.
Roger Taney: African Americans "had no rights which the white man was bound to respect."
If there wasn't a corrupt bargain, there may as well have been.

(8,240 posts)make a ruling just open your mouth and speak. It's believe Roberts did when trump wanted to impeach a judge who disagreed with him. Show me the way any citizen can be deported.

The better way would be that undocumented parents of US children should not be deported.

(2,163 posts)... to despise Republicans. These evil fucks think this shitshow is their ticket to total dominion over the lives of others, which is every Republicans wet dream.
They love to invoke the name of the American people at every opportunity, but they never do a goddam thing for average Americans. But they go through several pairs of knee pads every year while servicing the capricious demands of billionaires who are happy to take tax breaks, but give nothing back. They could do so much good with their vast wealth, without even noticing the expenditures, but no. Bezos bought a yacht so huge that they had to dismantle an entire bridge so it could reach the open ocean. Others have taken pointless ten-minute trips to the edge of space at astronomical expense.
The list of extravagant excesses goes on forever. The list of good deeds to help others would barely cover a gum wrapper. Hyperbole for effect, yeah, sure; but the substance of the message is irrefutable.
Republicans are filth.

The rest are 'objects' to be used as needed and discarded once they are finished.
And, we have let them do this for over 100 years now.
I guess we love being tortured and killed for 1100 people.
