Let’s have a “Who Cares?” vote on the opinions of Cotton, Jordan, Severino, Sasse and Cuccinelli. Register my vote as “I don’t give a crap!”

If Tom Cotton thinks this was purely about politics, I invite him to resign and go work for the DHS.

Listening to the conservatives cry about the court decisions that don’t go their way is instructive, both because these decisions show an inclusive America that they abhor, and because their attitude is that any decision that they don’t like is obviously an attack on conservative values (which really means white supremacist evangelical values). They are openly calling for a nation where anyone that doesn’t look like them to have more roadblocks to life, liberty and happiness, and also calling for the courts to be changed so their version of America is forced onto the rest of us.

These two SC decisions leveled the playing field for people in America…the fact that doing so is anathema to current Republican leaders is just more evidence that they have no interest in an America that works for all citizens.

Sasse’s take is pretty much correct. He’s saying the legislative branch screwed the pooch by not passing anything and forcing the courts to interpret. It’s also an indictment of the basic administrative competence of Trump’s executive branch, who failed to follow basic procedure when passing their executive order (the difference between theirs and Obama’s… well that and the fact one executive order was compassionate and one was evil, but y’know, small differences)

That last sentence sounds like typical conservative whining, but in context with the rest of what he said it’s pretty different from the line Severino et al are taking.

Because they knew the only way to jam this down America’s throat was to do an end run on the House.

Checks for Sasse outrage over Citizens United, Hobby Lobby, etc.

Too bad, guys. This is what happens when you go too far and confirm judges who are too aggressively political rather than judicial. You push the judges who are conservative but care about the law and precedent towards, you know, actually caring about the law and precedent.

And the beautiful thing is there is not a damn thing they can do about it.

All Senator Sasse has to to if he wanted a legislative remedy is pull out the immigration bill that was passed by the senate in 2013 with 68 votes.
It was the whole package including DACA, agricultural jobs visas and $40 billion for border security.
