We have had conservative supreme courts in the past, but they were conservatives who generally agreed with the constitution and were unwilling to throw it out to achieve a Republican political goal. This current court has claimed unto itself the role of a super unelected legislature. No one will respect their opinions after they have retired. No one respects their integrity now.

It takes five votes to stay a lower court ruling pending appeal. Without Handmaid and Rapey on board due to the weird administrative nature of the stay, they couldn’t get to five. The path to five would have been through Roberts and Handmaid, just as with the previous razor wire stay order. I suspect there are still five votes to strike this down on the merits later this year.

Congress should just defend TX based US border Patrol and hand the whole thing off to Texas. Let the dog catch the car. I’m sure Calif, AZ and NM would like the added funding.

The Six are perfectly fine with people nearly dying in hospital parking lots waiting to become septic or dangerously ill while pregnant. This is a g-d mess.

How long before other states begin defying the fascist 6 on matters they consider settled, like birth control and more? They’re fine making themselves illegitimate until it blows back on them.

SCOTUS Bows To Texas Bid To Annex Immigration Enforcement Away From Feds, For Now
The court effectively overturned more than a century of precedent without a majority opinion.“
The Supreme Court effecting things on the ground without a majority opinion. Another way of saying that it is that a minority opinion prevailed — through Republican skullduggery, as usual.
The so called American Experiment in self government is really a largely rural minority controlled enterprise.
That is because of the Electoral College and how senators are equally apportioned, two per state regardless of their population. This is important because the Senate has unique powers that the House does not, such as confirming executive branch appointments, including judicial appointments.
Evidence of how America is structurally minority rule can be found in the composition of the Supreme Court: Tens of millions more Americans voted for Senators who voted NOT to confirm Trump’s SC appointees than voted for Senators who voted to confirm them.

I don’t think the vigilantes that are now given carte blanche to go after folks crossing the border are going to worry about hospital parking lots. It is now open season on migrants coming across the border.
For now.

If I’m Biden I pull every federal border agent out of Texas today. Tell Abbott to call up $CROTUS if Texas needs border patrol. Also I’d like to add it must suck to be a lawyer today and see your entire world view in pieces on the ground just like sweet dreams and flying machines.
