Supreme Court rejects Trump plea (5-4 Roberts joins the liberals) to enforce asylum ban
AP ^

Posted on 12/21/2018 12:10:08 PM PST by springwater13

he Supreme Court won’t let the Trump administration begin enforcing a ban on asylum for any immigrants who illegally cross the U.S.-Mexico border.

New Justice Brett Kavanaugh and three other conservative justices sided with the administration.

The court’s order Friday leaves in place lower court rulings that blocked President Donald Trump’s proclamation in November automatically denying asylum to people who enter the country from Mexico without going through official border crossings.

Trump said he was acting in response to caravans of migrants making their way to the border.

The administration had also complained that the nationwide order preventing the policy from taking effect was too broad.

But Chief Justice John Roberts and the court’s four more liberal justices rejected the administration’s suggestion for narrowing it.

Looks like the courts have taken control of the country.

We’re gong to hear a lot of “even conservative Justice Roberts” from the media in the future, much like “conservative John Mccain.”

Denounce [get out from under] the “Convention and Protocol Relating to the Status of Refugees”.

Change US statutory asylum law effective one year after service of denunciation [i.e. ASAP] to end welfare and top-speed naturalization perks.

The wall is no substitute for legal reform.

Legal reform has to happen in days at most.

The Democrats won’t change what will give them total control.

Very likely a homo and the adopted kids were adopted improperly.

Good grief, not this again.

Instead of just spitballing, how about some evidence that CJ Roberts is "very likely a homo."

Ehh, I didn't think so.

I’d be as happy about a chance to replace Roberts as Ginsberg. At least the old woman didn’t lie to get on the court.

Can’t trump just pardon Roberts for illegally adopting his Irish kid?

Roberts broke the laws of Ireland in adopting kids. Trump has no jurisdiction.

He’s bypassing the courts and supreme’s by dealing directly with the leadership of countries.
.............................................................
Yes, that deal with Mexico kind of made this decision moot. Is Roberts going to tell Mexico they can’t do that?
******************************************************
The COMPROMISED ROBERTS will probably try to tell Trump and Mexico that the UNITED NATIONS decrees outrank and prohibit the Trump/Mexico agreement.

Never trust a man who wears a perpetual smirk. Three examples: John Roberts, George W. Bush and Christopher Wray.

“Build the wall and build it tall to prevent anyone from getting inside to claim “asylum.””

Some Democratic leftist lawyer will be told to file a petition with USCIS for Jose or Maria.

A big crane will have to get sent to lift Jose or Maria over the wall.

Within a month, the USCIS will be under court order to seek out claimants on the south side of the wall.

Ginsburg voted from the OR?

According to NBC News, she voted from her hospital bed.

Time to leverage whatever the hell the deep state has on Roberts and encourage him to “spend more time with his family.”

“McCarran-Walter Act...suspension of entry”

The asylum Convention is a treaty that overrides mere statutory law.
