The Supreme Court ruled Thursday for the Trump administration in a key immigration case, determining that a federal law limiting an asylum applicant’s ability to appeal a determination that he lacked a credible fear of persecution from his home country does not violate the Constitution.
The ruling means the administration can deport some people seeking asylum without allowing them to make their case to a federal judge. The 7-2 ruling applies to those who fail their initial asylum screenings, making them eligible for quick deportation.
In a decision in the case of Dept. of Homeland Security v. Thuraissigiam, the court ruled that the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA) – which prevents judicial review of the credible fear determination – does not violate the Constitution’s Suspension Clause, which protects habeas corpus privileges that allow courts to determine if a person should be released due to unlawful detention.

For some reason the Kagan/Sotomayor part didn’t load when I read the article the first time. Sorry and never mind.
Excuse me while I throw up in my mouth a little. If its your contention, to take one example, for Gorsuch to expressly acknowledge that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 does not cover LGBT, then go ahead and stretch the law to cover what it does not cover anyway, then I suppose your view of the sacredness of the charade that passes for federal jurisprudence is correct. Even beyond that, these decisions weren’t finished last week. It’s the process of saving up the biggies to be released the last two weeks of the term like the 10 Commandments coming down from Sinai that is antithetical to —- small “r”—- republicanism
Let me gat this straight, the constitution says congress determines the jurisdiction of the courts. The Act followed this. And the Supreme Court decided to review it anyway?
This was not controversy about what the law said. The controversy was whether it was constitutional. Only 9 people decideD the issue. That’s a problem.
Perhaps a quiz pro quo for the other decision?
It was the accepted trade-off for the DACA ruling.
I hope I’m wrong.
I dawdled on my post, was watching TV and didn’t see yours. :-)
No, SCOTUS told the Ninth Circuit that it should have minded its own business.
The Constitution is the law. It is the highest law.
"Only 9 people decideD the issue. That’s a problem."
Somebody has to decide what the law means. That's what courts do. Most don't have nine people on them. I don't know what system you imagine that has nobody deciding.
If we want to change the law we can do that through the other branches. That's how it works.
Strawman. That decision wasn't even the subject, and I never made that characterization of it.
Huh? Straw man? I think not. For nearly two centuries these peoples have trampled the Constitution in favor of their own policy and political preferences. The cases are legion: Dred Scott, Plessey, Filburn, Korimatsu, Everson, Roe, Obergfell, and so many more that have been ruinous to the Republic. However, even if all of their opinions in a given year were pure and adhered to the Constitution, my point was that the annual pomp of the risible dramatic flouting of their usurped imperium in the last two weeks of June should be anathema to anyone who loves republican government
Your phrasing was perfect.
People say they got screwed, but Hillary got, well you know.
Pretty awesome.
He can deport them but he isn’t allowed to keep them out. It’s insane.
You cannot have both open borders and free public education and healthcare in the ER. Pick one. Tell that to the next liberal you debate on another site.
The current laws on Gay marriage came from the legislature?
So we can call him zero?
