Huh. Just saw another article that thinks the court is split evenly on this 4 to 4.
The fiction that any of the azzclown justices on the Supreme Court base their rulings on the constitutionality of an law rather than the politics of the law is dead.
I think that any Supreme Court ruling should be reviewed by congress as to the soundness of their constitutional reasoning and if it is valid, then the sponsors of that legislation should go through impeachment proceedings. If the Supreme Court ruling is suspect, there should be impeachment proceedings against the Justices who ruled unconstitutionally.
It is one way to enforce fidelity to the Constitution.
Sounds like Erin Murphy rubbed the Court the wrong way. Too many cooks...

Congress is even more political than the Supreme court. Appoint a committee? Look at the FCC, they’re just as political as Congress.
A solution might be to hold them accountable for their decisions. Don’t know exactly how that would work, but I think a firing and losing their ability to ever work for government again would be a start.
Ping......
I believe 0b0z0 will win this crucial “future voters” allowed to stay here, by 5-3 ruling.
The turncoat is the same one who saved 0kakaKare twice; Roberts.
This does not sound good. We have come to the state of political judiciary as a legislative branch beholding to anti -constitutional dictators rather that jurisprudence. There is no issue of state standing and states sue the federal government every day on regulations and imposed expenditures. All this is is a charade— a fraud to subvert the actual constitutional requirements for the MAKING OF LAW!! We have literally gone over the cliff already. where a political ideology is imposed by a dictator.
I believe 0b0z0 will win this crucial future voters allowed to stay here, by 5-3 ruling.
The turncoat is the same one who saved 0 twice; - Roberts.
Thanks, Melancholy.
This is what we're up against, folks. Don't let Mrs. Bill Clinton or Bernie Sanders win.
One of the judges should of asked the lawyer to define ‘unlawful presence.”
No need for a fifth vote: Texas and 25 other states challenged Obama’s authority to implement the policy by executive action, rather than going through Congress. Federal district court Judge Andrew Hanen in Brownsville, Texas, upheld the challenge in February 2015 and blocked the program from being implemented nationwide.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit upheld that ruling last November in a 2-1 decision. The panel’s majority said Obama exceeded his authority by going around Congress.
You only need a fifth vote if you want to overturn the two lower courts. A 4-4 split means the ruling by the Court of Appeals stands and Obama loses.
“I believe 0b0z0 will win this crucial future voters allowed to stay here, by 5-3 ruling.

Yes. In other words, the laws on the books mean NOTHING, and we are living in a lawless country.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see the cowards pass the buck back to the 5th Circuit with instructions to review or rehear the case.
NOT exactly correct, you see John Roberts and Co. had an intimidated visit at SCOTUS on January 14th, 2009, ONE week before he stole the W.H. = A Chicago-Godfather-Thugs-Like “visit”(???)............. From that day on ALL cases of his NBC issues were settled for good and it trickled down to ALL lower courts as well as to 535 CONmen/CONwomen into silencing them and the whole nation. Also helped by hack Jack Maskell!!!
Don’t you see it ???
Right. I don’t understand why the people writing the article did not explain what happens in the event if a tie. And here, a tie is good.
Oh, I understand full well. They want SCOTUS to over turn and support the Administration. Need five votes for that.
Yeah, they’re going to need to get Kennedy to switch sides to save this turkey.
“Yes. In other words, the laws on the books mean NOTHING, and we are living in a lawless country.”
Laws on the books mean NOTHING.
VOTES on the books mean NOTHING.
UNIPARTY CONGRESS means NOTHING.
