The Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear the administration’s challenge to California’s main sanctuary city law protecting illegal immigrants, dealing a significant blow to President Trump’s hopes of forcing jurisdictions to cooperate with ICE.
The justices did not offer comment on their decision, though two — Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel A. Alito Jr. — said they wanted to hear the case. It takes four justices to put a case on the court’s calendar......."

Don’t ever forget that was a Bush appointment.
NOTHING PREVENTS the Administration from CRIMINALLY CHARGING the Elected Officials for Human Smuggling. FORCE them to Defend themselves in Criminal Court, all the way to the Supreme Court if necessary.********
Good plan.
It may simply be that one or more of the “conservative” justices weren’t confident they would have five votes, AT THIS TIME, to overturn the 9th CCA’s ruling. Look for this case to return next year after Trump is re-elected and possibly yet another Leftist justice is gone.
Remember, the Supremes didn’t confirm the 9th CCA’s decision, they simply voted not to address the issue at this time.
Where are the two new Justices, Brett Kavanaugh and Neil M. Gorsuch ?
Add them in and then there are the four required.
Good point.
If the SCOTUS does not review the case and overturn the 9th, that ruling stands. Most of the time where they are now in not taking the case amounts to affirming the original ruling.
Make sure ALL of your Conservative Friends know about this and vote accordingly this Fall.
Secondly, I’m pretty sure President Trump will find another way around Sanctuary Cities/States before his next term is up.
As of now, he can just start arresting the offending cities and states and can make THEM them take their cases to SCOTUS, while they sit in prison, waiting for a trial.
At the very LEAST he can cut off federal funding, and again, make Sanctuaries and their operators SUE for the cash via SCOTUS.
You people give up too easily! President Trump always, ALWAYS has a Plan B. ;)
“If the SCOTUS does not review the case and overturn the 9th, that ruling stands. Most of the time where they are now in not taking the case amounts to affirming the original ruling.”
*********************************************
Sorry, that’s simply not true. The original ruling does stand FOR NOW. But it has NOT been affirmed...it has simply not yet, perhaps wisely, been addressed.
Name a famous case where that happened. If there was such a case was that typical?
“What happened to Gorsuch and Kavanaugh?”
Nothing. They are GOPe.
I am convinced the rioting has terrified SCOTUS.
That’s right, force them to hear the case through another executive order. He’ll do it too, I hope.
Oh, would you please stop! It does not mean that at all.
Did you read only of the filed briefs for the Court to take the case? AJ Thomas reasons for why they should? Anything?
Good grief.
You beat me to it.
The leftist brain trust has been arguing for the next democrat president to nominate at least THREE new SC justices to rebalance the Court. Trump should loudly thank them and promise to do exactly that if he’s reelected.
You forgot to add the sarcasm tag.
So much for a “conserative majority.”
Many here will cringe at your words but you're 100% correct.
I’m sorry that you’re having difficulty comprehending the possibility here. If THIS group of 9 Supremes heard and decided the case it could have well decided in favor of the 9th CCA’s position by a 5-4 margin. Had that been the outcome, that 9th CCA would have become NATIONAL PRECEDENT and would be very difficult to overcome in the future. That’s a FACT about precedent.
By not hearing the case, AT THIS TIME, the case can now possibly be heard in the next year or two WHEN ONE OR MORE Leftist justices could have been replaced on the Supreme Court by President Trump. The outcome then would be very different.
