Judge Ronald White did not even consider a brief arguing the court lacked jurisdiction to hear the matter before issuing an order striking down a decades-old Oklahoma law.
Doubly nuts since the court has an independent obligation to ensure that it has jurisdiction, and challenges to jurisdiction can be raised at any time. I'm going full Legal Realist, baby
doesn't this lend itself to cases where there isn't even a PLAUSIBLSE case for preemption? Say DOJ sues a state that has a large latino-citizen population with a law that has for decades declared that ballots have to be in Spanish and English. DOJ claims this violates trumps EO about English being the only official language. Racist state AG simply agrees and signs a consent judgement striking down the law. Instant voter suppression. And no one able to appeal it.
Can a public-interest law firm file a "counter-suit" on the behalf of OK immigrant students directly affected by this action by the "partners"? I mean, completely apart from this particular case, as surely those students have *standing* in a separate filing?
As per usual, DJT is cheating and gaming the system. Every one must obey every technicality of the law when he uses to break it. If he were as smart as he thinks he would obey it. Then it wouldn't be so obvious he is both corrupt and ignorant!
Tragic—apparently facts have become arbitrary; and jurisdictional questions don’t matter if one of the litigants is a Republican pol.

Good idea

This stuff is getting old. My Latin isn't what it used to be back in the day... sorry.
A lot of things aren't as good as they used to be. We as a people were DUMB enough to fall for his con not once but twice.
Could not agree more; I did not vote for him either time and hoped that we all would have learned something from 2016 et seq.. But, Nooooooooo.....
Actually outrageous.
What is the remedy? Is this ruling appealable?
I’m guessing that disposing of in-state tuition for immigrants is better done by a less public judge than political debate in the legislature.

Okay, another WTF!
Plausibility is beside the point. There has to be a case or controversy. Was a suit even filed?
