Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch formed an unlikely alliance with the high court’s three liberal justices on Tuesday in breaking with the majority’s decision to temporarily keep the Title 42 border policy in place.
“The current border crisis is not a COVID crisis,” Gorsuch said in his dissent, joined by Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.
“Courts should not be in the business of perpetuating administrative edicts designed for one emergency only because elected officials have failed to address a different emergency,” he added. “We are a court of law, not policymakers of last resort.”
While they did not join Gorsuch’s dissenting opinion, Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan noted that they would also deny the application from 19 Republican state attorneys general to keep the controversial, Trump-era immigration policy in place.
In a 5-4 decision on Tuesday, the high court granted the states’ request to temporarily block and expedite its review of a lower court ruling that ordered the Biden administration to end Title 42.

“Courts should not be in the business of perpetuating administrative edicts designed for one emergency only because elected officials have failed to address a different emergency,” he added.
Damn, our sides “judges” are bigger idiots than the “judges” on the RATs’ side.
Gorsuch joins the firing squad pointed at the heart of America. What a fool.
“We are a court of law, not policymakers of last resort.”
I have no problem with that statement.
It’s time for Abbott to start dropping these invaders off in front of the worthless ass Supreme Court. Let the “justices” support the freeloading bass turds.
John Roberts didn’t side with the Liberals this time.
A Trump nomination.
He’s right. Our laws are weak because most of our lawmakers are corrupt unprincipled scumbags.
They take turns..so we dum dumd don’t catch on.
this is a block until they can review?
is that right?

Well then Mr Gorsuch why don’t you do your job and enforce the constitution in regards to it being the federal governments job to prevent foreign invasion. How about enforcing section 8 of US law on illegal immigrants?
Sad that Gorsuch turns out to be another one in favor of the total invasion and destruction of the USA. Now Trump is zero for zero on USSC justices.
Not up to the courts to bail out Biden and the congress. The judge is right on the facts and his interpretation.
If Biden wanted to, he could snap his fingers and stop all the BS. He has several impeachable offenses including restricting fuel production and begging the Saudis to help us. Border Security, and covering up his son and his crimes.
So at this point the congress the most responsible for not removing the demented one.
Good reasoning, but chose the wrong side.
...but Trump’s two other judges got it right.
And that’s actually the best we can hope for. Like it or not, even judges that appear to be conservative have been POISONED by our educational system. So, if we are permitted to win elections again, we slowly populate the court with conservative appointees, so that we have more than enough to overcome the squishy type.
The leftists are always leftist. Conservatives are alway squishy. Screw your alleged principals, gorsuch. we are under attack from communists and our country is under invasion. Do your damn job to defend the constitution.
Really? Tell that to Roberts with Obamacare.
To be frank, Gorsuch is right.
But title 42 is the only (weak) defense we have against the wave of illegals!
