Supreme Court allows Texas to enforce immigration law

The Biden administration sued to block the law, saying it tramples on the federal government’s exclusive authority to oversee immigration issues.

“The court gives a green light to a law that will upend the longstanding federal-state balance of power and sow chaos,” liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote in a dissenting opinion. Justices Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson also objected to the decision.

The majority did not explain its reasoning.

    I have no idea what the law is on this and how it works. But the GOP could simply close that loophole. Even if the law wasn’t really constitutional - it wouldn’t matter at all. The law would have been exactly designed to get the imprimatur of at least 5 GOP people in black robes to say it is constitutional. And that’s that.

      Well, here’s the thing. Supreme Court can say what it wants, but they’re not the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. Andrew Jackson figured this out through his intense commitment to being racist.

      There will come a time in the not too distant future where a sitting president ignores a Supreme Court ruling. I’d prefer that be in service of good rather than evil.
