WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A group of Republican state officials on Friday asked the U.S. Supreme Court to allow them to take over the defense of a hardline immigration rule issued by former President Donald Trump’s administration that barred immigrants likely to require government benefits from obtaining legal permanent residency.
The 14 Republican state attorneys general, led by Ken Paxton of Texas, asked the justices to put on hold an Illinois-based federal judge’s decision that threw out the so-called “public charge” rule nationwide.
The administration of President Joe Biden, who took office in January, decided to drop the government’s legal defense of the regulation. As a result, the Supreme Court on March 9 dismissed two appeals launched before Trump left office ...Friday’s filing was the first emergency application made at the Supreme Court against a Biden administration policy move.

Americans don’t have any “standing” in the Supreme Court.

Sorry...I still don’t get how a Federal judge can extend a ‘ruling’ beyond his/her own jurisdiction. That’s not the way I learned it.
But, the fine legal minds here, on FR, will surely clear it up for me.

Laws, and decision-making to Malta and the Vatican.
the entire GOP belongs in HELL for what they have done.
