“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.

Following up on swaying Roberts, here’s the gist of it:

Yesterday evening, I heard on FNC that Kagan is trying to give Roberts something to hang his hat on because he likes to “preserve things”!

She asked the government lawyer if some language could be “tweaked” to help the (gov) case

Tweak? Preserve things, aka, unconstitutional EOs?

The commies are playing with language again. They’re trying to frame the argument to become:

The president HAS the constitutional right to deal with immigration.

Rather than:

The president DOESN’T HAVE the constitutional right to ALTER laws passed by congress or MAKE new laws.

Roberts must be struggling with how he would vote with liberals and MAKE THIS SETTLED LAW!

If it’s 5 to 3, I don’t think a president Trump can reverse it. He could cancel 0b0z0’s EO and issue his OWN IMMIGRATION LAWS through a new EO under this ruling, though.

I’m not a lawyer. FReeper lawyers are welcome to help.
