5-4 vote, I wonder what the four's reasoning was.

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 31 points 9 months ago

Dumbass dickheads is the reason.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 28 points 9 months ago

Partisanship. pure and simple.

the five voted- appropriately- as the supremacy clause has already answered the question.

[–] TallonMetroid@lemmy.world 27 points 9 months ago

"Fuck brown people", probably.

[–] stoly@lemmy.world 18 points 9 months ago (1 children)

You're expecting conservatives to be consistent in their reasoning?

[–] kool_newt@lemm.ee 26 points 9 months ago

They're extremely consistent in their actual reasons. It's their stated reasons that vary depending on their political needs.

[–] JustZ@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Just read the decision form the court below.

[–] Nougat@kbin.social 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

No one provided any explantion for their vote.

This story is about the Supreme Court's en banc decision on the application for certiorari, on appeal from the court below which I believe was the Fifth Circuit. The Fifth Circuit tossed the district court's order finding in favor of Texas. The denial of certiorari is the explanation, it means they agree with the reasoning and analysis of the Fifth Circuit. It's very rare for a denial of certiorari to have any commentary.

Ohhh the lower court. "Court below" kind of threw me.

Still, the SCOTUS vote on cert was 5-4 against. Four of them voted for cert, and while that was not the thing I was initially asking about, I do wonder about why they did.

They are partisan hacks.
