The SCOTUS opinions nobody's covering today are quietly rewriting who actually gets to enforce their rights in court.

Corporations can sue in Federal Court to enforce international law.

Citizens cannot sue in Federal Court if a US company facilitates another country surveilling or torturing them

The SC has gutted Congress' spending clause powers. An individual cannot sue a government agent who violates a right established and enforced by a Congressional spending power law.

Ex. Congress passes a law that funds a program for states that comes with restrictions/requirements on the states for them to obtain/use the money.

if the state agent does not follow those requirements, say by denying a religious liberty right, the person subjected to the violation cannot sue the state agent/entity.

This completely defangs any spending clause law that congress enacts, since the recipient of the funds can ignore the restrictions without ramification.

Thanks magat scum, you are destroying our country

Corporations are Effectively Supercitizens.

They have Rights Regular Individuals do not.

They have Immunities Regular Individuals do not.

They are Immortal in the Ordinary Sense of the word.

SCOTUS has completely sold US out to the Oligarchs and the Corporations.

CLASSIC FASCISM.

It's all over but the Enforcement of these Tyrannical Decisions.

America as it Was would NEVER tolerate this.

America today will barely Notice.

That's the Magic of Digital Technology.

Citizens become Passive Subjects.

And they do it Voluntarily without even Noticing Much.
