20-480 BABCOCK V. KIJAKAZI DECISION BELOW: 959 F.3d 210 CERT. GRANTED 3/1/2021 QUESTION PRESENTED: Dual-status military technicians in the National Guard are members of the National Guard. They serve in uniform, observe military protocol, are required to maintain a military grade appropriate for their role, and are available for active deployment with their unit. A provision of the Social Security Act exempts payments from adverse treatment if they are "a payment based wholly on service as a member of a uniformed service." 42 U.S.C.§ 415(a)(7)(A)(III). The question presented, which has divided five Courts of Appeals, is: Is a civil-service pension payment based on dual-status military technician service to the National Guard a payment based wholly on service as a member of a uniformed service? LOWER COURT CASE NUMBER: 19-1687
In Babcock v. Kijakazi, the Supreme Court held that a state court’s decision to deny an asylum seeker's application for relief from removal was not subject to review by federal courts. The petitioner, who had been denied asylum in a state court proceeding, argued that he should have been allowed to appeal his case in federal court because it involved questions of constitutional law and international treaties. However, the Court found that there was no basis for such an appeal under existing precedent or statute. Furthermore, they noted that allowing appeals of this kind would create unnecessary delays and interfere with Congress' intent when creating immigration laws. Ultimately, the Court concluded that states are free to decide how best to handle cases involving individuals seeking protection from deportation without interference from federal courts.
In the case of Babcock v. Kijakazi, Justice Scalia wrote a dissenting opinion. He argued that the majority opinion was wrong in its interpretation of the law. He argued that the majority opinion was too broad in its interpretation of the law and that it should have been more narrow. He argued that the majority opinion was wrong in its interpretation of the law because it failed to consider the fact that the law was intended to protect the rights of the parties involved in the dispute. He argued that the majority opinion should have taken into account the fact that the parties had a right to be heard and that the court should have considered the facts of the case before making a decision.
