Maybe.</p><p>"Four Supreme Court justices supplemented their income with payments from their book deals, three accepted money for teaching, and only two accepted any reportable gifts in 2023, according to financial disclosures released Friday. Justice Alito was the only sitting justice to request an extension.</p><p>"These disclosures are the first to be released since the Court announced its adoption of a Code of Conduct (Nov. 2023) and the first since the Pulitzer Prize-winning investigation from ProPublica was published (Apr. 2023&amp;ff). Given the wide array of data in the reports, it’s difficult to ascertain whether recent ethics scandals have changed the justices’ behavior. In fact, there are some conflicting signs.</p><p>"According to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClarenceThomas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ClarenceThomas</span></a>’ disclosure, he did not accept any gifts of private plane travel or resort stays from <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HarlanCrow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HarlanCrow</span></a> or any of his other prior benefactors in 2023. The only gift he accepted was $2,000 in 'photo albums' from the outgoing executive director of the Horatio Alger Association, Terry Giroux, and Giroux’s wife, Barbara. (Justice Jackson’s gifts are noted later in the release.)</p><p>"What’s more, Thomas wrote at the end of his report that his 2019 FDR “is hereby amended to include the following entries under the reimbursement section, which was inadvertently omitted at the time of filing,” and he lists a one-night stay at a hotel, with free food, in Bali and a four-day, three-night stay at <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BohemianGrove" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BohemianGrove</span></a> (though he doesn’t write “Bohemian Grove”).</p><p>"On the one hand, amendments like these show growth and are appreciated. On the other hand, ProPublica reported that Thomas flew to Indonesia on a private plane for his summer jaunt, and from this omission in the appendix, it appears that either Thomas made another error or he believes neither travel on a private plane owned by a friend (though it’s really owned by his friend’s company, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HRZNARLLC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HRZNARLLC</span></a>) nor overnight stays on a yacht owned by a friend (really Crow Holdings, LLC) to be reportable."</p><p>Read more:<br><a href="https://fixthecourt.com/2024/06/new-scotus-disclosures-show-2023-was-a-good-year-for-several-justice-authors-bank-accounts/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">fixthecourt.com/2024/06/new-sc</span><span class="invisible">otus-disclosures-show-2023-was-a-good-year-for-several-justice-authors-bank-accounts/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/OligarchCamp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OligarchCamp</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SCOTUSIsCompromised" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SCOTUSIsCompromised</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ImpeachJusticeThomas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ImpeachJusticeThomas</span></a> <br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ScotusIsCorrupt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ScotusIsCorrupt</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ImpeachClarenceThomas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ImpeachClarenceThomas</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ErikPrince" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ErikPrince</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Oligarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Oligarchy</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a></p>

DoomsdaysCW<p>From <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Wikipedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Wikipedia</span></a>: Internment of Japanese Americans</p><p>"During World War II, the United States forcibly relocated and incarcerated about 120,000 people of Japanese descent in ten concentration camps operated by the War Relocation Authority (<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WRA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WRA</span></a>), mostly in the western interior of the country. About two-thirds were U.S. citizens. </p><p>"These actions were initiated by Executive Order 9066, issued by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on February 19, 1942, following the outbreak of war with the Empire of Japan in December 1941. About 127,000 Japanese Americans then lived in the continental U.S., of which about 112,000 lived on the West Coast. About 80,000 were Nisei ('second generation'; American-born Japanese with <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USCitizenship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USCitizenship</span></a>) and Sansei ('third generation', the children of Nisei). The rest were Issei ('first generation') immigrants born in Japan, who were ineligible for citizenship. In Hawaii, where more than 150,000 Japanese Americans comprised more than one-third of the territory's population, only 1,200 to 1,800 were incarcerated.</p><p>"<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Internment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Internment</span></a> was intended to mitigate a security risk which Japanese Americans were believed to pose. The scale of the incarceration in proportion to the size of the Japanese American population far surpassed similar measures undertaken against German and Italian Americans who numbered in the millions and of whom some thousands were interned, most of these non-citizens. Following the executive order, the entire West Coast was designated a military exclusion area, and all Japanese Americans living there were taken to assembly centers before being sent to concentration camps in California, Arizona, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, and Arkansas. Similar actions were taken against individuals of Japanese descent in Canada. Internees were prohibited from taking more than they could carry into the camps, and many were forced to sell some or all of their property, including their homes and businesses. At the camps, which were surrounded by barbed wire fences and patrolled by armed guards, internees often lived in overcrowded barracks with minimal furnishing."</p><p>[...]</p><p>Prior use of internment camps in the United States</p><p>"The United States Government had previously employed civilian internment policies in a variety of circumstances. During the 1830s, civilians of the indigenous <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CherokeeNation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CherokeeNation</span></a> were evicted from their homes and detained in 'emigration depots' in Alabama and Tennessee prior to the deportation to Oklahoma following the passage of the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndianRemovalAct" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IndianRemovalAct</span></a> in 1830. Similar internment policies were carried out by U.S. territorial authorities against the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Dakota" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Dakota</span></a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Navajo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Navajo</span></a> peoples during the American Indian Wars in the 1860s. <br> <br>"In 1901, during the Philippine–American War, General J.

The act has been invoked three times in U.S. history, each time during wartime, and is meant to counter the actions of foreign governments and regimes, not alleged criminals, gangs, or non-state actors. The law was also used to justify Japanese internment during WWII, and now, the Trump administration is using it to justify its deportations. <br>In an unsigned opinion, the Supreme Court tossed a district court decision that had temporarily blocked President Trump’s attempt to continue using the 227-year-old law after he sent almost 300 Venezuelan migrants to a notorious prison in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ElSalvador" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ElSalvador</span></a>, known for human rights abuses.</p><p>"All nine justices agreed, however, that anyone the administration is seeking to deport under the Alien Enemies Act must receive notice of deportation and be given the opportunity to challenge the removal through '<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/habeas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>habeas</span></a> petitions' — meaning that migrants have the right to have their detention or deportation reviewed by the federal court, but only for themselves and in the area where they are being detained. </p><p>"The court’s three liberal justices dissented from the ruling, while Justice <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AmyConeyBarrett" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AmyConeyBarrett</span></a>, who was appointed by Trump, partially dissented.
