Supreme Court revokes rule of law

6-3 decision revokes the ability of a lower court to stay executive orders nationwide, thereby putting the authority of a lower court judge below that of the President. Since the selection of cases decided by the Supreme Court is at their discretion, and won’t even reach them if no appeal is made, seems to me this means that if the King decides tomorrow that, due to his bad bowel movement this morning, all women whose name begins with “M” should be arrested and shot,  no one in the land other than the Supreme Court can suspend the order until its legality is determined.

Or: WA state court declares my son’s citizenship valid by birth, but NJ declares it is following the rules when he flies into Newark and ICE confiscates his passport and arrests him; this is legal unless and until the Supreme Court issues an injunction.

And, by dint of a prior ruling that absolves the King of any legal responsibility in the execution of “official business”, the King is never held accountable for his act and retires comfortable in the knowledge that no M-named shrews or their grieving loved ones will ever see justice.
