The Supreme Court seems to have undergone a massive seesaw in its thinking this week.
First, the Court enraged the left by voting, unanimously, against states’ efforts to keep Trump off the ballot.
Now, the Court has thrilled the left by issuing an emergency order against states’ efforts to defend themselves against an illegal invasion of migrants.
As directly stated by the Texas governor himself.
“Biden’s deliberate inaction has left Texas to fend for itself,” Abbott remarked flatly, making no bones about the fact he strongly desires to protect Texas residents specifically, as well as Americans generally.
As part of fending for itself, Texas passed SB4, which would enable police in Texas to arrest illegals crossing the border.
A move that was held up by a federal appeals court.
“BREAKING HUGE NEWS … Federal appeals court allows Texas immigration law to take effect. Law enforcement officers in Texas are now authorized to arrest [and] jail any illegal immigrants crossing the border,” Abbott declared on X.
Unfortunately, Abbott’s victory was short-lived due to a clause the federal court included as part of its ruling.
Specifically, the US Fifth Circuit of Appeals noted that it would stay its decision for seven days to provide the federal government with a chance to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Of course, the federal government responded far more quickly than it did for the train derailment in Ohio and the wildfire in Maui.
Aided and abetted by some of the biggest loudmouths out there.
“#SB4 would let police arrest people over suspicions about immigration status — putting communities of color at greater risk of racial profiling … We aim to strike down this law for good,” the ACLU raged.
Clearly, the White House heeded the ACLU’s call.
White House spokesperson Angelo Fernandez Hernandez asserted that Texas was out of line, claiming that the federal government “is charged with determining how and when to remove noncitizens for violating immigration laws.”
You don’t say, Mr. Hernandez. Clearly, the federal government has shown no interest in removing “noncitizens” who have violated immigration laws.
Including illegals that assault police officers!
Conservative Justice Samuel Alito, however, apparently heeded the White House’s call as well, issuing an emergency freeze on SB4 until at least March 13.
According to Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar, who has long leaned to the left, SB4 is “flatly inconsistent” with Supreme Court precedent dating back 100 years.
“Those decisions recognize that the authority to admit and remove noncitizens is a core responsibility of the national government, and that where Congress has enacted a law addressing those issues, state law is preempted,” Prelogar sniffed.
Interesting. Apparently, state law is not “preempted” when it comes to deranged sanctuary states.
Prelogar also dismissed Texas’s efforts to defend itself under the State War Clause of the Constitution.
“A surge of unauthorized immigration plainly is not an invasion within the meaning of the State War Clause,” Prelogar declared.
Tell that to the Americans who have already suffered from the violent assaults of the illegals, not to mention the families of Americans who have overdosed from drugs shipped across the border.
One of the many ways in which cartels are “winning” against Americans.
Former head of Border Patrol Raul Ortiz noted that the violent criminals are quite joyful about Biden’s apparent unwillingness to secure the border, which has enabled them to profit quite handsomely.
“The cartels, the criminal organizations – that’s who’s winning in all of this … They’re sitting back reaping all the benefits while they watch the state of Texas and Washington, D.C., go at it,” Ortiz remarked in disgust.
Who knows … Perhaps the “Big Guy” gets a 10 percent cut of the border proceeds as well.
