Andrew Weissman: 我感到有点压力,因为有很多事情要谈,特别是关于出生公民权辩论的案件,因为ICAP是该案的主要推动者之一。发生了很多事情,包括国会议员被指控和一系列涉及移民的事件。我们将从周四的出生公民权辩论开始,我很想听听你对辩论的反应以及你对各位大法官的看法。 Mary McCord: 周四最高法院就出生公民权问题进行了口头辩论,涉及三个案件,其中两个是由代表各州的州团体提出的。22个州对出生公民权命令提出质疑,认为其违宪,违反了最高法院127年的先例。ICAP代表五名孕妇和两个移民权利组织CASA和ASAP参与了第三个案件。问题的关键在于特朗普总统试图重新定义出生公民权,以剥夺父母至少一方不是公民或合法永久居民的儿童的公民身份。这不仅包括剥夺非法移民的子女的公民身份,还包括剥夺持有学生签证、工作签证、旅游签证等临时身份的父母的子女的公民身份。政府要求限制我们在所有三个案件中获得的禁令,使其不具有全国性。如果政府得逞,公民身份将取决于婴儿出生在哪个州以及是否是指定原告或ASAP或CASA成员的子女。索利西特将军约翰·索尔认为,本案是最高法院解决全国性禁令问题的干净利落的工具。索尔认为,地区法院在记录不充分的情况下发布全国性禁令是一个两党问题。索尔认为,今年2月,各地区法院发布的全国性禁令比拜登政府前三年发布的还要多。索尔认为,本案为法院提供了就地区法院是否应发布全国性禁令提供更广泛指导的机会。拜登政府也对挑战者在德克萨斯州寻求全国性禁令感到沮丧。挑战者可以利用单一法官辖区进行“论坛购物”,但出生公民权案件并非如此。出生公民权案件的裁决来自三个不同辖区的法官,他们都是随机分配的。许多讨论都集中在何时以及是否应该允许全国性禁令,但这也引起了一些法官对何时才能审理案件事实的担忧。法官们似乎认为应该更快地审理案件事实,而不是仅仅关注程序问题。卡根法官认为,政府希望每个人都必须单独提起诉讼,这使得政府可以不断适用该命令,而每个人都必须找到律师并提起诉讼。卡根法官担心,政府作为败诉方,可能会拒绝上诉至最高法院,以避免最终败诉。阿利托法官贬低司法系统,就像他在总统豁免权案件中所做的那样。阿利托法官说,我们不能信任司法部、大陪审团和审判法官,这就是为什么我们需要豁免权。阿利托法官认为,只有他才能知道真相和法律是什么,并能把一切都说对。卡瓦诺法官试图将违反法治的行为正常化。卡瓦诺法官认为,白宫在各个政府的领导下都在真诚地行事。卡瓦诺法官试图将一切都正常化,并试图让人们同意这只是真诚的。卡瓦诺法官怎么知道这是不是真诚的?

Shownotes Transcript

With so many issues stemming from President Trump’s executive orders now before the Supreme Court, it’s tough to know where to begin. So Andrew and Mary start this week with the arguments heard last Thursday from Mary’s ICAP team on the courts issuing national injunctions in several birthright citizenship cases. They recap Thursday’s highlights and note the Justices' interest in getting to the merits of the birthright issue. Then, they talk through two SCOTUS decisions from Friday and Monday: one on the Trump administration using the Alien Enemies Act to ‘extract’ Venezuelan migrants, and the other on their attempt to revoke the protected status of Venezuelans. Last up, Andrew and Mary turn to the specifics of a few of the immigration removal cases, as hearings continue and the lack of due process continues to be challenged.
