I shouldn't be shocked that it was even such a split decision since at this point it seems like they all really just want to fuck us all over

Literally came here to say this. That it was this close is even more unsettling, they are the Supreme Court of the United States for the people of the United States, not the world! And if I stole another citizens identity I wouldn’t be able to bring it before the Supreme Court!

I feel like everybody else is taking fucking crazy pills!

They should be getting the fucking death penalty for stealing IDs from Americans. Or, hell, for being here illegally in the first place.

That'd stop illegals real fuckin fast.

Trump should find 4 right leaning illegal aliens, give them fake IDs as the four dissenting justices and replace them.

I think it has to do with a technical definition of what information is able to be used from one form or another due to privacy.

I honestly assumed it was because they aren’t US citizens and aren’t accountable to our laws, which would be a dumb reason, but a reason.. who knows either way it’s stupid

ChaplainTappman 0 points ago +2 / -2

There was a catch-22 in favor of illegal immigrants regarding falsification of tax and ID documents.

Basically it was wrong to submit false docs, but not a chargeable offense as the law did not specify it as chargeable.

States attempted to charge and enforce and using this infraction as proof the illegal forged documents, but the law had a catch-22 preventing such.

SCOTUS deliberated on how to apply the circular Law logic and (in March) ruled it how to read the law in a way to charge individuals with forgery and falsification.

The dissenting votes had to do with the reasonable expectation of privacy and the 5th amendment for the core tax document (w-4?) being eligible as proof.

They are so scared of Trump replacing Ginsberg as well. It is going to happen.

Lord I hope so. I'm praying for Amy Coney Barrett and I want Roe V. Wade to be overturned along with Marbury V. Madison, which, as we know, gave our Supreme Court the power of judicial review. Thomas Jefferson and Robert Yeates were right.

As for Ruth Bader Ginsberg, no one knows the time of his or her own release from this mortal coil, but I refuse believe she does not understand her value to the Democrats.

She is probably biding her time and not retiring until the opportune moment, which would have been Hillary 2016. Even if she loses that gamble come November, she will have prolonged her replacement, which I pray is Amy Coney Barrett.

How was this not already a crime? Stealing isn't a crime? Identity theft isn't a crime? These (I want to use bad words but won't) -- people in congress for DECADES, like pelosi, schumer, biden, fienstein, et all -- why haven't they fixed this already? It makes me so angry and so sick. And look how evil those SC judges are, the dem appointments, that one AGAIN chose illegals over Americans. We need to make everybody in the country aware of this crap.

After seeing a bunch of posts concerned about the 4 dissenting justices. I too was interested in the "How the FUCK could you be against this?" position, so I have researched it. I'm not a lawyer, but here is what I gather.

The landmark case happened in Kansas where 3 Illegals used a SS# that wasn't theirs in order to get paychecks. Defense attorneys were trying to say "you can't use information on a federal form for state laws. This information is on the I-9." Pretty clever lawyering, it's a defense attorney's job to try to wiggle out for their client.

As far as I can tell, Kansas courts were like "Yeah, nah these guys are guilty" but the interesting question about whose form the I-9 is, and info on it, went to the KANSAS Supreme Court who said, "The I-9 is a federal form, that's not us" - basically those justices said we don't prosecute federal crimes, we are Kansas. Not totally unreasonable, states do state law and feds do federal law. Kansas supreme court also said "besides, we can always charge these guys on the W-4 and K-4 info, which is our documentation and has the same data, and we will. But in this case, your client can be let go because they DID use the I-9 which messes up evidence and the trial is done."

In summary, the dissent is saying ONLY the Feds have rights to police fraud for federal work authorization which isn't unreasonable. The majority are saying, look, if someone fills out the I-9 fraudulently, it is a federal crime but the state can use that information.

HOW THE F COULD IT BE ILLEGAL TO CHARGE AN ILLEGAL ALIEN FOR ID THEFT? What was the minority argument on this one? How did they argue that it would be illegal to charge an illegal alien with ID theft?

Does anyone know a channel or blog where legal fans go through and talk about decisions like this? Mike Cenovich used to blog about stuff a bit, but I want more. Normally when I see headlines like this, and I dig into it, it turns out either there's more to it, or the legal question that was decided on wasn't really the top level question in the headlines at all.
