DID TRUMP'S EMERGENCY DOCKET DENY JUSTICE TO AVERAGE JOES

The news media seems challenged on deciding how many people had their case denied by the Supreme Court during the 2025-2026 Term.

You can click here to see the order's list which has case numbers assigned when filed during the Term.  You decide.

This Term, it is not disputed, the Court only issued 68 opinions.  This is shameful. Click here to see history of opinions by year.

Before any modern technology the Court easily issued 200 plus opinions and once over 300.  The Court is clearly not upholding its oath of office.

Was the Court just so busy approving Trump's agenda to get to the average Joe's case?

BUT A REAL CASE WHICH REOPENS JOHN DOE'S CASE AGAINST LUIS SAENZ AND GABBY GARCIA

Today the Supreme Court remanded a lot of cases filed by inmates claiming their Plea Bargain is unenforceable. 

The Supreme Court held that an appeal waiver in a plea agreement is unenforceable if enforcing it would result in a miscarriage of justice.

"We principally hold that an agreement not to appeal a sentence is unenforceable when it would result in a miscarriage of justice—meaning, when it would leave in place the kind of egregious error that would bring the judicial system into disrepute."

See Hunter v. US

Do not forget, John Doe was forced to sign a plea bargain under oath stating he had no history or mental illness, while the motion to find him mentally incompetent was pending before the court.

 

EXACTLY AS PREDICTED JUSTICE ROBERTS AUTHORED THE OPINION

I did not have to open the opinion to know the result.  I saw the R for Roberts as the author and knew the result.  

This is not complex.  Roberts has an ego.  It was 100% predictable he would close out the term with the final opinion.  

THE NEWS MEDIA IS STILL NOT REPORTING THIS DECISION WAS 5/4.  THAT IS SCARY

Thomas as was expected leads the dissent.  His issue is, temporary workers or visitors do not intend to stay in the US, so the 14th Amendment does not protect them.

"By definition, temporary visitors to this country do not choose to make a permanent home here, and their children thus cannot claim the privilege of citizenship. Because the executive order is lawful at least to this extent, respondents’ facial challenge must fail"

What he is saying is a challenge to Trump's EO in its entirety is overbroad.

ASSOCIATE JUSTICE THOMAS SHOWED HE REALLY DOES NOT BELIEVE IN ORIGINAL INTENT.

Thomas wants to add language to the 14th Amendment to get to his result.  The authors of the 14th Amendment could have qualified born here with intent to stay.  They did not.

"The Fourteenth Amendment provides: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they re side.”

TRANSGENDER ATHLETES:

The decision was 9 zip that schools can separate athletes based on "biological sex."  All 9 Justices agree "biological sex" is sex assigned at birth.

My issue has always been Transgender advocates argue there are more than two genders but then want mixed players based on different genders.

So much time has been lost arguing over this.  The money needs to be raised and spent to promote transgender athletes. Now that is the real case.  Can a school district which separates athletes based on transgender status not fund Transgender athletes?

All Justices agreed on the result, but three felt the Court went too far.

KAVANAUGH, J., delivered the opinion of the Court, in which ROBERTS, C. J., and THOMAS, ALITO, GORSUCH, and BARRETT, JJ., joined. THOMAS, J., and GORSUCH, J., filed concurring opinions. SOTOMAYOR, J., filed an opinion concurring in the judgment in part and dissenting in part, in which KAGAN and JACKSON, JJ., joined. JACKSON, J., filed an opinion concurring in the judgment in part and dissenting in part

When I read the above, I knew that as to the judgment the result was unanimous. 

We needed this result.  But it is not over.  Science will continue, and overtime science will decide how we decide gender.  During this period while science reviews gender, society will adjust to the changes.

But now the three liberals by agreeing with the application of Title IX, secured the ruling school districts mut fund athletic for Transgender student.  I am okay with the decision.

I have not read the entire opinion, but the elephant in the room seems to have been ignored.

We all have different hormone levels.  Some women have very elevated testosterone.  There have been calls to ban them from sports.  Really, so now people want to look to hormone levels and not just gender assigned at birth.  

This question needs to be addressed.  It is either at birth, or later in life when we change gender identity based on hormone levels.

TODAY'S OPINION PUTS THE COURT'S PREVIOUS FINANCE DECISION, CITIZENS UNITED ON STEROIDS

The political parties are now free to spend, spend, spend in coordination with political organizations.

MY APPPLICATION FOR STAY AGAINST THE CITY OF BROWNSVILLE

This latest filing has to be filed by tomorrow morning.  I am working on it.  My diabetes is not under control.  My BS is everywhere.

My left numb foot is getting worse and last night I noticed two sores.  I have to get caught up so I can get to the doctor.

If the sores are diabetes related, I could end up in the hospital again given my history of antibiotic resistance.

STRATEGY:  If you follow the Supreme Court and who authors the opinions, you know for sure, the immigration opinions seem to be assigned to Alito.  We could see he was short on his allotment of opinions going into last week, hence three immigration cases in one week authored by Alito.

Now is not the time to put a new issue before Alito.  Tomorrow seems to be the last day of the Term with 4 Opinions remaining.  The key Citizenship case will be decided.  if Alito is the author we will have the most explosive Supreme Court case in its history.  If John Roberts is the author in favor of citizenship, Alito will be very angry.

By mid-July the Stay docket will still be active because of Trump.  Each Justice will have more time to review any filings.  That is when I will put the Stay before Justice Alito.  If he uses his discretion to not take the case, it will be filed in federal court in Austin.

GEOFENCE CASE:  This is the case asking if it is constitutional for tech companies to turn over to law enforcement the phone numbers of people in an area where a crime occurred.   How the government narrowed the users to just two is not clear in the opinion. There has to be something in the process which allows the officers to narrow the search.  Nonetheless, the process violates the Fourth Amendment.

It is interesting to me the news media covered this case last, although not the last opinion of the day.

"For all those reasons, we hold that police officers invade a cell-phone user’s reasonable expectation of privacy when they access his Location History. It does not matter if the time period scrutinized was only two hours. Nor does it matter that the materials obtained were handed over by a third-party tech company. When the government “accesses historical cell phone” location information—Location His tory as much as CSLI—it “conducts a search under the Fourth Amendment.” Carpenter, 585 U. S., at 300."

Supreme Court Opinion

MAIL BALLOT CASE:  TRUMP IS VERY CONFUSED IN BLAMING CONGRESS WHEN THE LAW HE OPPOSES WAS PASSED INTO LAW BY THE REPUBLICAN CONTROLLED LEGISLATURE OF MISSISSIPPI

This morning the Supreme Court upheld Mississippi's mail ballot law which says if postmarked by election day, they can be counted up to 5 days after the election.

Mississippi is basically Trump country, and it was their legislature who pass the law Trump opposes. 

This case is so important in ways which have nothing to do with mail ballots.  The Republican controlled legislature responds to the people of Mississippi, and not Trump.  This is lost on Trump.  What we see here is the Republican legislature in Mississippi following the demands of the people while rebuffing Trump.

This is a very important analytical tool in predicting elections and how to conduct elections. 

At the state legislative level Democrats need to campaign on the question of, do the state Mississippi legislators answer to Trump or the people of Mississippi.

This decision is a great insight into "all politics are local."

BECAUSE OF A LACK OF REPORTING SKILLS, WE REMAIN CLUELESS AS TO WHAT IS REALLY HAPPENING WITH THE BAR DISTRICT ON PABLO KISEL

I believe I have read most of what is out there on the issue.  I have read nothing specific enough to allow me to form a qualified opinion.

This is in part why I no longer send letters to the editor with the Herald.  They will always run from any story which speaks to the incompetence of the city of Brownsville.

I do not doubt the claims about how dangerous the area may be.  It is unacceptable if the city can prove its numbers.  But the law does not look to results but, process.  Every bar owner deserved a notice of which codes they violated, before they were shut down.  This is basic law.  

Now I can imagine an urgent situation wherein the city can prove the bars were specifically warned about violations of the new code, and chose to not act, while leaving the patrons in the area in a very dangerous situation.  In law this is known as exigent. 

So even if the claim the area is very dangerous is true, the city had a constitutional duty to tell the bar owners of their specific code violation, before the bars could be closed. 

I do have legal experience on this issue.  Over 20-years ago Dallas was going through the same thing, which eventually led to a Red-Light district.  I did a lot of the consulting work on legal issues.

If all I go on is the social media posts, then I am to believe the City of Brownsville just closed these bars without warning.  Well, that would be a black and white violation of the constitution.  I need to see the evidence before I make such a claim. When regulations are enforced in a random and arbitrary fashion it violates due process.

I want to see the lawsuit and exhibits of what was posted on the doors of the establishments before I form an opinion.

The social media coverage gives me no information as to the judge who signed the TRO.  We are in Cameron County where the practice of law is discretionary.  Once I see the pleadings, I will be shocked if they are in order.  But I would not be shocked if the city violated the due process rights of notice and opportunity to respond, afforded the bar owners.

IN MY CASE THE CITY IS IN COURT STATING CODE ENFORCEMENT IS DISCRETIONARY

The defense by the city is so bizarre because it opens a response, they are enforcing the city code in a random and arbitrary way. 

This is where the bar owners need to focus their claim.  They can use the pleadings in my case to show the city as a matter of policy has opened a policy of random and arbitrary enforcement of the code.

IF SOMEONE CAN GIVE ME THE STYLE OF THE CASE, CASE NUMBER, PARTIES, I CAN DO A MORE COMPLETE ANALYSIS OF WHAT IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING.

    THE 21ST CENTURY ROAD TO HOUSING ACT IS ALL SCAM, WITH NO MEAT TO HELP THE PEOPLE

I have read 7 articles detailing the ACT.  I can find nothing in any of them which helps the new home buyer directly.  The entire ACT is a trickle-down policy which presumes if you help the developers, the benefits will trickle down to the consumer in some 3-5 years.

The next time Democrats tell you they oppose Trickle Down Economics, you need to throw this ACT in their face.

THE KEY FACTORS HURTING NEW HOME BUYERS IS INTEREST RATES, AND HOMEOWNERS INSURANCE.

My mortgage has an interest rate of 3.9%.  The Texas Veteran Land Board is currently loaning money to Texas Veterans at 5.75% discounted to 5.25% if the veteran is disabled.

On average the national mortgage rate is about 6.75% for non-Texas Veterans. 

The FED has already signaled interest rates will go up at least twice and maybe three times by the end of the year.  This will only raise mortgage rates even more, thereby pushing new home buyers out the of the market.

Nothing in the ACT addresses this issue.

Also, you can save $200-plus on your monthly mortgage if you can put 20% down.  It covers the mortgage insurance in the event you default.  It is presumed that if you put 20% down, even if you default the bank can still get 100% back of the payoff.

On a new home for $250,000, this means you need to put down $50,000 or pay for mortgage insurance. Depending on your location and risks associated with the loan, the PMI can add $300.00 to your monthly payment.

Nothing in the 21st Century ACT addresses mortgage rates, PMI insurance, or homeowners' insurance. 

In my immediate neighborhood there are four homes for sale. Two are estate sales, one is a federal forfeiture drug related house, and one is a regular home seller trying to sell their home. 

Because there are too many homes on the market, they are all overpriced in my opinion. I am watching one estate sale and will consider buying if they drop the price to $175,000.  In my opinion it needs a complete remodeling on the inside.  To do it right, the cost is $100,00.

There is zero chance the price of the home will ever drop to $175,000.

Nothing is being done to lower interest rates. PMI or homeowners' insurance.  There is no relief coming for new homebuyers

MY SOLUTION

The Texas Veteran's Land Board needs to drop interest rates for Texas Veterans to 3.5% basic and 3.0% for disabled veterans.

A federal VA loan does not require PMI insurance.  The Texas Veterans Land Board needs to drop the downpayment to 10% to avoid PMI insurance.

Could you image Gina Hinojosa having any understanding of this issue.  As the Texas Democrats meet nothing is being proposed to facilitate homeownership for Texas.

NOTHING WILL BE FIXED UNTIL WE CHANGE U.S. MONETARY POLICY

The U.S. dollar and oil drive how much money there is to spend.  We need to just end this policy and allow the U.S. to print however much money it needs, with tight restrictions on budget spending.

The strength of the U.S. economy will keep the dollar stable and allow other countries to do the same.  Interest rates will come down, and middle America will be able to afford the American dream.

Our policy of paying interests to big firms so that our economy can function is a form of corporate welfare.  

When Nixon took us off the gold standard they predicted disaster.  It in fact saved our economy.  The idea that the U.S. American people should have to pay interest to investment brokers so we can run our economy is ridiculous.  

So long as we have strict regulations on what the newly printed money can be spent on, the world economy will hold. 

A NOTE TO ELON MUSK

I get people do not trust just giving tax money to wasteful governments.  So here is my idea: Elon Musk should fund a billion-dollar low interest mortgage company which loans money to residents of Cameron County at 3% for mortgages, with a 10% downpayment to avoid PMI insurance.  

Home ownership will jump by leaps and bounds.  A billion dollars is nothing to Elon Musk, and he buys favor with the people.  Elon, your people need to run the program.  The politicos will turn it into a profit-making adventure for themselves. 

 

KENDALL SCUDDER, ANOTHER FECKLESS LEADER: MAYBE WORSE THAN GILBERTO HINOJOSA

At this time, it seems Kendall Scudder and Gina Hinojosa seem incredibly clueless in how you rebuild the Texas Democratic Party.  It begins by tossing off all institutional/plantation Democrats from the Party.  That means you Gina Hinojosa.  

You will not flip Texas from red to blue by claiming, "vote for the first Latina candidate for governor.  

You will not flip Texas when your candidate for governor is begging for $10,000, at a time her opponent Greg Abbott has 

Gina Hinojosa is begging to raise $10,000, at a time Greg Abbott has about $96 million in available funds.   This does not fly with her reported actual donations and cash on hand.

TUSA is reporting the following on Gina as of May 16, 2026

Cash on Hand:         about $618,000

Total Donations:    about $2,417,618

Total Spent:            about $1,660.188

By asking for a mere $10,000 to pursue her false claims on Data Centers makes her look weak.

Compare the same data on Greg Abbott being reported by TUSA as of May 16, 2026

Cash on hand:        about $95,503.00 million

Total Donations:    about $45,913,00 million

Total Spent:            about $85,000.00 million

WHILE IT IS TRUE CLAYTON TUCKER FOR AGRICULTURE COMMISSIONER DOES NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO MANAGE AN EFFECTIVE CAMPAIGN - See TUSA, he has a message, something lacking in the Gina Hinojosa campaign and in fact in the campaign being run by the Texas Democratic Party.

Clayton Tucker Campaign Page

Gina Hinojosa Campaign Page

Texas Democratic Party Page

Just compare the three.

THE BATTLE TO TAKE BACK THE STATE IS ONE ELECTION AT A TIME, SOMETHING LOST ON HINOJOSA AND SCUDDER

You will find no information put out by the Texas Democratic Party telling you or me which state House or Senate races are possible swing elections which we as Democrats can win if we help the candidates raise the money to win the seat.  We need to target our money on these lessor elections, which will take down the supermajority currently held by the Republicans.

The first step to change is getting rid of the supermajority held by the Republicans in the House and Senate.  Scudder is clueless on this issue which is why as the leader he offers no help.

The next step is to seek out a state office candidate whose message can turn Republicans voters into voting for Democrats.

Everyone knows I am not a supporter of the Texas Democratic Party of plantation/institutional democrats.  They offer nothing to the people.

But look at Clayton Tucker's campaign page.  It is detailed with ideas which will help our farmers and ranchers.  He may not be able to win, but he can move Republican farmers and ranchers to the Democratic party and help win a few House and Senate seats which may be a toss-up. 

Scudder and the Texas Democratic Party should be telling use which seats we may be able to flip.  Scudder and his team are clueless and seem to be working hard to ensure the Republicans continue to control Texas.

This is how you bring change, and not by begging for chump change. 

 

GREG ABBOTT BUCK'S DONALD TRUMP ON DATA CENTERS AND CALLS FOR STRONGER STATE REGULATIONS

HOW STUPID IS GINA HINOJOSA TO JUST OUTRIGHT MISLEAD THE VOTERS ON DATA CENTERS AND STATE REGULATION?

Trump is 100% opposed to state regulation of Data Centers.  He failed in his Great Big Beautiful Bill to pass a 10-year effective moratorium on regulation.  He then tried an Executive Order.  Neither worked as the states fought back.

IT IS FACT: GOVERNOR ABBOTT IS PUSHING FOR SOME OF THE BIGGEST STATE REGULATIONS ON DATA CENTERS TO INCLUDE REPEAL OF TAX INCENTIVES

Greg Abbott's legislative agenda on the issue includes a mandate that DATA Centers bring their own electricity to the grid before they can access the Texas electrical grid.

Others are:

1. requiring new facilities to add power generation to the state’s power grid

2. requiring data centers pay for their own grid interconnection and infrastructure costs

3.  mandating the use of “closed-loop” water systems, which draw a large amount of water at the start but reuse it over some period of years.

4.  require annual reporting by all data centers on electricity and water use

5.  establishing best-practice standards to address community concerns like noise

6. repealing data center sales tax exemptions and “other outdated or unnecessary incentives for data centers”

So why is Gina Hinojosa paying a known pay to play blogger to mislead you on the facts?  Because she pays to play.

The entire thing is so silly?  She is begging for $10,000 in new donations to buy Billboards to promote this misinformation of the facts.  It is a campaign which will cost millions, and Gina has found herself begging for chump change in the amount of $10,000.

I AM NOW SUPPORTING ONE STATEWIDE DEMOCRAT FOR COMMISSIONER OF AGRICULTURE

Clayton Tucker on the issues is running a very solid campaign for Commissioner of Agriculture. Click on his name.  You will find no such depth of understanding of the issues and how to make change anywhere in Gina Hinojosa's campaign material.

This is how the Democrats take back the state.  Clayton Tucker is speaking directly to the farmers and ranchers in Republican territory.  These voters care about their farms and ranch.  They will vote based on good policy. 

Bringing these Republican voters over to the Democratic side based on solid policy, is how we slowly flip Texas back to the Democrats.
