No one provided any explantion for their vote.
USA, the country where everything’s made up and the legal justifications don’t matter.
Border control is literally federal jurisdiction. It’s weird that they didn’t just say that.
From NBC:
“The brief order noted that four conservative members of the nine-justice court would have rejected the government’s request. They were Justice Clarence Thomas, Justice Samuel Alito, Justice Neil Gorsuch and Justice Brett Kavanaugh.”
This is literally settled shit since the Civil War. They’re trying to bring back state law supremacy. Which led to… The fucking civil war.
We’re almost at the point of nobody cares what the supreme court has to say.
The SCOTUS has been filled with scumbags since day one, very seriously. They literally caused the civil war and prolonged the great depression. They also gutted the 13th and 14th amendments while deciding that people are militias.
Oh no, one small edit with a huge difference. The people as a whole are the militia. No it doesn’t make any sense. But when you gotta get that gun lobby money for your next private jet Caribbean vacation…
A People’s History of the Supreme Court has good info on the terrible track record of the Supreme Court.
It’s an institution that only exists because the other two branches listen. It doesn’t have an army or a police force. Even the Marshals technically operate under the Executive branch. If the Legislature and Executive branches both decided to ignore them, then Roberts could whine a bunch, but nothing would happen.
It’s there because of respect built over two centuries and then some. They seem determined to throw it away.
Nah the litigants can apply to lower courts for affirmative relief in compliance with the higher court’s orders and the judges can issues writs of mandamus to any proper officer requiring the officer to do a thing, the failure of which is remedied by a writ of capias, which is a judicial arrest warrant. Would have to be a whole hell of a lot of local judges, cops, marshals, lawyers, clerks, administrators, etc., who would have to ignore it, before nobody ends up in jail or has their assets seized.
We still let them decide what is and isn’t legal. I wish anyone cared that much about what I say.
Can we just give Texas to Mexico and redraw the border?
How is that better? The point is people from Mexico are trying to get into the US, and but getting the services they need
