Flotsam and Jetsam - Supes Dump Nation Wide Injunctions

At Althouse, Moments away — we'll be getting the last cases of this Supreme Court term. "The cases will be posted on the Court's website, here. And here's the live-blogging at SCOTUSblog. Here's Grok's summary of the remaining cases — birthright citizenship, racial gerrymandering, the nondelegation doctrine, Obamacare, access to on-line porn, and parents opting their kids out of woke school lessons." With updates for the results. Yesteday I post on the one from Maryland, which we might call the anti-educational grooming ruling, teachers can only groom the kids if they give notice and a chance to opt out. More at the Balmer Sun, Supreme Court says Maryland parents can opt their kids out of LGBTQ-inclusive curriculum and Dave Strom at Hat Hair, SCOTUS Lays Down the Law: Schools Can't Force Alphabet Ideology Down Kids' Throats. Also, Mary Chastain at LI, Supreme Court Rules Texas Can Require Age Verification for Porn Sites “Because H. B. 1181 simply requires proof of age to access content that is obscene to minors, it does not directly regulate the protected speech of adults.”

Another biggie is the ruling from court quashing nationwide injunctions in most cases. The case revolved around Trump's order nixing birthright citizenship which the court chose not to rule on, allowing continued fights in the court at lower levels. Julie Kelly @julie_kelly2 "BREAKING: SCOTUS in 6-3 decision authored by ACB "Universal injunctions likely exceed the equitable authority that Congress has given to federal courts. The Court grants the Government’s applications for a partial stay of the injunctions entered below, but only to the extent that the injunctions are broader than necessary to provide complete relief to each plaintiff with standing to sue." Ace, in all red, capital italics, with the flaming skull, BY A 6-3 VOTE.

At Insty, Kostas Moros @MorosKostas "Holy shit, this is about as brutal as I've ever seen SCOTUS be on one of their own. Translated: "you are so stupid that you aren't even worth responding to."

Not a lot on the Israeli-Iran war today. Dan Chaitin at Da Wire reports Trump Blames Dems For Iran Strike Intel Leak, Calls For Prosecutions, but "He did not name anyone in particular." Responsible Statecraft asks an obvious question If Iranian regime collapses or is toppled, 'what's next?' "These are questions that are hardly asked, nor answered with any degree of coherency. Seems important." Probably the IRGC. Dave Strom notes Iran Was a Main Driver of Scottish Independence Social Media Campaign "Dozens of the most prominent pro-SNP X accounts that accounted for about 250,000 pro-Independence posts on X all went silent at once--on the day Israel started bombing the crap out of Iran and Iran's internet went dark." Eyal Yakoby@EYakoby "BREAKING: Dozens of “Scottish independence” X accounts suddenly went silent on June 12—the same day Israel began its strike on Iran, including a major cyber attack. They’d been tweeting nonstop for months. Then, nothing. Turns out, they may have been Iranian bots all along." Elon should know. Sundance hosts Russian President Vladimir Putin Delivers Remarks About President Trump Following Iran/Israel 12-day War and notes the U.S. Ambassador to Russia Exits at Critical Stage, a Biden appointee. From the WaT, Trump seizes momentum from ceasefire deal to expand peace in Middle East.

From Da Caller, ‘Direct And Blatant Attack On Our Country’: Trump Announces End To Trade Talks With Canada, after they imposed a tax on 'digital services.' "The tax will require digital services companies like Meta to pay 3 percent of the digital services revenue they make on Canadian users above 20 million Canadian dollars ($14.6 million) in a calendar year, according to Bloomberg." Sundance, Canada Announces Digital Services Tax Against USA – President Trump Halts All Trade Negotiations With Canada and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent Explains Severity of Response to Canada’s Digital Services Tax, "I was unaware until this interview the July 1st digital services tax that Canada is going to apply to U.S. tech companies is retroactive in application. Over a billion dollars will be due on Monday as a result of Canada’s targeting. Duplicitous Snow Mexicans."

Matt Vespa thinks The Reactions From This CNN Panel When Scott Jennings Rattles Off Trump's Wins Is Priceless. Twitchy, Scott Jennings Saddens CNN Dems as He Lists Why This Is the BEST Week of Trump’s Presidency Scott Jennings @ScottJenningsKY "This was the BEST week of the Trump presidency (maybe any presidency!) SCOTUS win on activist judges Stock market at record-high Israel-Iran ceasefire Unprecedented Rowanda-Congo peace deal gas prices at 4-year-low Not tired of winning." Cathy Salgado says Hey, GOP: Senate Parliamentarian Isn’t Binding, but if you ignore her, the Democrats will almost certainly filibuster the BBB.

At CJ, Mamdani Won—Now What? Jake Sullum at Reason on Zohran Mamdani's Jewish Problem "The presumptive Democratic nominee for mayor of New York has repeatedly missed opportunities to forthrightly condemn antisemitic violence." Althouse finds "Plenty of Jews Love Zohran Mamdani." "The headline for a Michelle Goldberg column." Tom Bevan @TomBevanRCP "The next step will be fusing the tax code with intersectionality: straight, white males will pay the most, of course." Quote Tom Bevan @TomBevanRCP, "This is going to be super fun to watch - from afar." Kurt Schlichter @KurtSchlichter "Don’t care. Bitch wants to raise taxes on people because they’re white so he can kind of go screw himself." Quote Defiant L’s @DefiantLs "Zorhan Mamdani gets emotional and says he’s been getting hateful messages for being a muslim." Isabella Custard at JTN reports Chris Cuomo says Democratic Party 'dead,' after brother loses NY mayor primary to democrat-socialist. Beege Welborn at Hat Hair, Aw, Cuomo, Man! Will Randy Andy's Ego Doom the Big Apple? as Cuomo threatens to run Indy. tree hugging s*ster @WelbornBeege "So split the vote between Cuomo and Adams and let the terrorist sympathizer WIN! WEEEE!" Bob Hoge at RedState says Whoa! WaPo Drops Blistering Op-Ed on Socialist NYC Mayoral Candidate Zohran Mamdani, or as we call them "yesterday's news tomorrow." At Racket, Matt Taibbi takes A Pause to Chuckle at the Democrats' Tortured Mamdani Wigout. "The victory of Zohran Mamdani in the New York mayoral primary swiftly moved Democrats to Denial, Anger, Bargaining, and Depression, but not Acceptance." NYPo goes Inside the campaign to find a new Republican to run against Mamdani — and why it could be Mayor Adams.

Boy, that story vanished in a hurry." Quote Viva Frei @thevivafrei "A Trump supporter that kills a Democrat the sole Democrat to vote with Republicans to revoke healthcare for illegal aliens. A Trump supporter appointed by Tim Walz. Whose wife interned for Tim Walz in 2010. Who had pamphlets for “no kings” in his vehicle. A story so stupid, only @NoLieWithBTC could say it with a straight face."
