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."
