Nice summary, Chat GPT…not…it missed all of the important things that he says regarding freedom and tyranny, as well as all the admissions of what happened during the lockdowns. The citations are all relevant too.

Part of our problem in this country is we say we want freedom, but we don't deserve it! People CAN'T/WONT even read a 5 page document to try and learn something on their own. They want spoon fed! This is why people don't read the King James Bible...they are so lazy and want to be spoon fed for 45 minutes out of a corrupt NIV or some other corrupt version because they are too damn lazy to read the Bible for themselves and do the hard work of seeking Jesus and His will in their own war room!
"In Washington, D.C., asylum seekers filed a lawsuit arguing that the government lacked legal authority for the orders"
Generally, asylum seekers do not have the funds to hire an attorney to file a lawsuit. What this really means is that some special interest group with an interest in encouraging more illegal immigration filed a lawsuit on the asylum-seekers behalf. A lot of the craziness in this country could be eliminated if we put some serious restrictions on these special interest groups.
I would, Fren, but it is too powerful. One of the best reads I’ve found in a long time. Trust me, you want to read his words for yourself. And, it’s more like 5.5 pages, because the citations of previous court cases. Additionally, they don’t use full page margins, so it is really more like 4.5 pages. A worthwhile read. Enjoy.
It isn't a legal opinion, it's a summary of how America and the world was screwed by panic. The opinion is that we shouldn't have done that and we should take steps to prevent such abuse.
The text without footnotes has approximately 1,675 words which would take an average reader 6½ minutes to read ... and it's more like a newspaper opinion editorial than a legal text 🤓
This and $1.50 will get you hot coffee at 7-11. I want arrests, convictions, hangings, firing squads. I want to die having faith in a blind criminal justice system. One that doesn't see color, sex, religion, or political parties. Where in ALL cases you are innocent until proven guilty.
Wow. This sparks thoughts of Washington’s farewell address in me. I’d nominate this to be in every history book in the future. This needs to be read by everybody.
I lay out the history of this case only because it is so typical. Not just as an illustration of the quandaries that can follow when district courts award nationwide relief, a problem I have written about before. Even more importantly, the history of this case illustrates the disruption we have experienced over the last three years in how our laws are made and our freedoms observed.
Since March 2020, we may have experienced the greatest intrusions on civil liberties in the peacetime history of this country. Executive officials across the country issued emergency decrees on a breathtaking scale. Governors and local
leaders imposed lockdown orders forcing people to remain in their homes. They shuttered businesses and schools, public and private. They closed churches even as they allowed casinos and other favored businesses to carry on. They threatened violators not just with civil penalties but with criminal sanctions too. They surveilled church parking lots, recorded license plates, and issued notices warning that attendance at even outdoor services satisfying all state social-distancing and hygiene requirements could amount to criminal conduct. They divided cities and neighborhoods into color-coded zones, forced individuals to fight for their freedoms in court on emergency timetables, and then changed their color-coded schemes when defeat in court seemed imminent.
Federal executive officials entered the act too. Not just with emergency immigration decrees. They deployed a public-health agency to regulate landlord-tenant relations nationwide. They used a workplace-safety agency to issue a vaccination mandate for most working Americans. They threatened to fire non-compliant employees, and warned that service members who refused to vaccinate might face dishonorable discharge and confinement. Along the way, it seems federal officials may have pressured social-media companies to suppress information about pandemic policies with which they disagreed.
While executive officials issued new emergency decrees at a furious pace, state legislatures and Congress—the bodies normally responsible for adopting our laws—too often fell silent. Courts bound to protect our liberties addressed a few—but hardly all—of the intrusions upon them. In some cases, like this one, courts even allowed themselves to be used to perpetuate emergency public-health decrees for
collateral purposes, itself a form of emergency-lawmaking-by-litigation.
Doubtless, many lessons can be learned from this chapter in our history, and hopefully serious efforts will be made to study it. One lesson might be this: Fear and the desire for safety are powerful forces. They can lead to a clamor for action—almost any action—as long as someone does something to address a perceived threat. A leader or an expert who claims he can fix everything, if only we do exactly as he says, can prove an irresistible force. We do not need to confront a bayonet, we need only a nudge, before we willingly abandon the nicety of requiring laws to be adopted by our legislative representatives and accept rule by decree. Along the way, we will accede to the loss of many cherished civil liberties—the right to worship freely, to debate public policy without censorship, to gather with friends and family, or simply to leave our homes. We may even cheer on those who ask us to disregard our normal lawmaking processes and forfeit our personal freedoms.
Of course, this is no new story. Even the ancients warned that democracies can degenerate toward autocracy in the face of fear. But maybe we have learned another lesson too. The concentration of power in the hands of so few may be efficient and sometimes popular. But it does not tend toward sound government. However wise one person or his advisors may be, that is no substitute for the wisdom of the whole of the American people that can be tapped in the legislative process. Decisions produced by those who indulge no criticism are rarely as good as those produced after robust and uncensored debate. Decisions announced on the fly are rarely as wise as those that come after careful deliberation. Decisions made by a few often yield unintended consequences that may be avoided when more are consulted. Autocracies have always suffered these defects. Maybe, hopefully, we have re learned these lessons too.
In the 1970s, Congress studied the use of emergency decrees. It observed that they can allow executive authorities to tap into extraordinary powers. Congress also observed that emergency decrees have a habit of long outliving the crises that generate them; some federal emergency proclamations, Congress noted, had remained in effect for years or decades after the emergency in question
had passed. At the same time, Congress recognized that quick unilateral executive action is sometimes necessary and permitted in our constitutional order. In an effort to balance these considerations and ensure a more normal operation of our laws and a firmer protection of our liberties, Congress adopted a number of new guardrails in the National Emergencies Act. Despite that law, the number of declared emergencies has only grown in the ensuing years. And it is hard not to
wonder whether, after nearly a half century and in light of our Nation’s recent experience, another look is warranted.
It is hard not to wonder, too, whether state legislatures might profitably reexamine the proper scope of emergency executive powers at the state level. At the very least, one can hope that the Judiciary will not soon again allow itself to be part of the problem by permitting litigants to manipulate our docket to perpetuate a decree designed for one emergency to address another. Make no mistake—decisive executive action is sometimes necessary and appropriate. But if emergency decrees promise to solve some problems, they threaten to generate others. And rule by indefinite emergency edict risks leaving all of us with a shell of a democracy and civil liberties just as hollow.
I didn't post a story. I posted the link to the actual Supreme Court . gov site, where the entire statement can be read in its entirety. After I looked at the comment from the person who had done a TLDR on your post, I saw your post. I read the article you posted; it only had a portion of what the Justice wrote. I think going to the actual PDF is more powerful. Sorry for my shite title, btw. I didn't know we are getting graded on titles now. I'll do better next time, boss. =P
Here’s a great article that has a lot of sauce of the Arizona vs. Mayorkas case, as well as some highlights of what Justice Gorsuch has been saying for over the last two years.
So we don’t have to read 8 pages of a legal opinion can you please break it down for us. Like we’re second graders?

If it's enough to convince people to read it, then that's a win. There is no need to insult each other.
I insulted Chat GPT. Last time I checked, Chat GPT still has no feelings (for now).
Tell Chat GPT you are proud of your heritage without saying you are white then fit it in somewhere
Are you trying to ask me what my ethnicities are? I'm a Panda. Should be pretty obvious.
But you could also be a moon that looks like a panda

Dude... you can't spew this kind of truth!! There's too much text to read in your post!!
/s
Exactly...LOL...what was I thinking?
Huh?
Sorry amigo...just a rant...sometimes I just get kind of bent out of shape when I see what's going on in the world...
Entirely too logical and true to be on this site.

This is the issue. Degradation by willful intent.
This and $1.50 will get you hot coffee at 7-11. I want arrests, convictions, hangings, firing squads. I want to die having faith in a blind criminal justice system. One that doesn't see color, sex, religion, or political parties. Where in ALL cases you are innocent until proven guilty.
It's almost like you are still following MSM, waiting for them to spoon feed you what they want you to know.
Really that's a surprise!?? I've never met anyone on this site who wants all those things!!
Snarky much?
How else am I supposed to reply to the longest playing broken record in the history of our movement?
Wow. This sparks thoughts of Washington’s farewell address in me. I’d nominate this to be in every history book in the future. This needs to be read by everybody.
So [REEEEING INTENSIFIES] ?
Everyone should read the document. He is making a case against too powerful a government and loss of civil Liberties.
Nice
Blah blah blah, government can do "bad" things, but we (SCOTUS) are going to do nothing about it except say that government can do "bad" things ... ?
Screw ChatGPT summaries. Here's the meat of it.

Damn, you're not kidding. So well written. So, so well written. That gave me a boost. Thank you.
I’m glad you read it, Fren! It’s so powerful and empowering!
So so so excellent!
