Cuba did let some disembark & live in Cuba but the rest tried other ports who denied them entry, then to the Nazis for extermination. Descendants of the survivors periodically express gratitude even to the current Cuban government & people. Of course the CIA created the need for these asylum seekers

Next time she should talk about discrimination against Catholics. That example might resonate more with this court.

"...One infamous incident, the voyage of the M. S. St. Louis, is emblematic. In 1939, over 900 Jewish refugees attempted to flee persecution in Nazi Germany by setting sail aboard the M. S. St. Louis...." www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

Good for her. But this is awful; “never again” is happening again. 💔

The SCOTUS six would def send Jews back to the camps. Alito would do it gleefully.

I have yet to hear a credible reason why expanding and reforming the Supreme Court should not be a litmus test for any Democrat running for federal office.

It'll never happen, but I wish, just once, Sotomayor (or one of the other of the 3) would say in a dissent "...and the Nazi majority justices can go fuck themselves." I'm impressed she even keeps trying. I'd have given up. It must be depressing to know each case has already been decided.

Many MAGA voters would be tremendously pleased if they could send any amount of minorities or foreigners to death camps. How powerful would they view themselves.

And she’s 100% right. That was a shameful thing to do that we should regret as a country.

When I see decisions like Al Otro Lado, or Callais, or US v. Trump, and so many others, and I then see the Justices going on about collegiality and the horseshit about how they like having lunch together, I’m dumbstruck. I wouldn’t enter the same fucking room as Samuel Alito, much less eat with him.

Well six of the "Justices" ARE Nazis. I'm glad an actual Justice is willing to say so out loud.

Did she reference that in her oral dissent?

I’m so glad she referenced the M.S. St. Louis! It’s one of the most overlooked aspects of the U.S. State Department’s hostile posture towards Jewish refugees during WWII. There’s a photo of a truly stunning memo in my book where then Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morganthau confronts FDR about it.

The Supreme Court has become the most dangerous institution in the country
