Supreme Court allows Border Patrol agents to remove razor wire installed by Texas at Mexico border
NBC News ^ | 1/22/24 | Lawrence Hurley

WASHINGTON — A closely-divided Supreme Court on Monday allowed Border Patrol agents to cut through or move razor wire Texas installed on the U.S.-Mexico border as part of an effort by the state to prevent illegal border crossings.

The court on a 5-4 vote granted an emergency request filed by the Biden administration, which had argued that Texas was preventing agents from carrying out their duties.

The brief order noted that four conservative members of the nine-justice court would have rejected the government's request. They were Justice Clarence Thomas, Justice Samuel Alito, Justice Neil Gorsuch and Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

So 100% of the Yah Yah Sisterhood of Supreme Court girls combines with Roberts is allowing this.

And people STILL say we need a female president. Idiots.

Why is she a surprise? She was picked for her sex. Her first week in office she recused herself from the Pennsylvania election case and let the avalanche of un-postmarked or even late ballots be counted.
She enforced mandatory covid vaccine rules in Illinois and Maine.

She’s a female squish, ruling on emotions.

I never understood her allure.

Yeah, but they’ll find some bs to charge them under for it.
But if enough people did it, that track would be a bit harder.

It’s time to get rid of that POS SCOTUS.

You're in the wrong country if you think that's going to happen.

SCOTUS is a rubber stamp for Deep State.

Yes, that's it. The Supreme Court is a Deep Stamp rubber stamp when they decided:

Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, No. 19-1392, 597 U.S. 215 (2021)

New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen, 597 U.S. 1 (2022)

Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard, 600 U.S. 181 (2023)

So Texas should be waiting at the border where wire is and as anyone trys to cross round them up and arrest them or start saying over loud speaker if you try to enter we will start shooting. call your consult, enter legally. Texas should call for more help too.

this is so wrong that Supreme Court isn’t supporting states constitutional rights, to secure their border from invasion.

“She’s a female squish, ruling on emotions.”

Sounds like you oppose women on SCOTUS. Granted, the ones that have been on have been less than stellar; but a couple of them have been better than some of the men.

As for Barrett, she is light years better than Republican-nominated Stevens and Souter and, yes, Kennedy (remember his vote on Obergefell in support of gay marriage).

OK, then remove the razor wire and put something else in its place.

Problem is once you arrest them where the hell do you put them? Back into the streets! You can’t send them back to Mexico you can’t fly them to their home country, so what are we to do? Those freaking Supreme Court justices are literally killing this nation one effing knife stab at a time! And if you think they’re gonna be fair to Trump, think again people!

OBiden and his administration are breaking the law the SC just enabled them to keep breaking it. You know what? I hope that Texas reinstalls any razor wire the feds take down. It’s time to do what’s right!

tent city like Joe did in AZ? just blast it over load speakers at all places they are crossing fair warning you don’t belong crossing illegally, do it legally or you get tent city or deportation. I don’t see why states can’t make a business of deporting.

I know a few guys used to be in that line of work when criminals needed to be sent back to their home land, illegal border crossers are criminal from first step over the line.

states need to stop selling their soul to Fed and start implementing plans to save their own sovereignty.

Your post is meaningless. It doesn’t matter who nominated them (other than when a Democrat president does and then they tow the party line), it matters how they come down on the issues. And, I stand by my statement.

I posted simple, verifiable facts.

I offered no interpretation of them.

That’s on you.

If facts upset you, maybe you need to re-examine some of your basic assumptions about the world.

Biden defies SCOTUS with impunity on a daily basis.

Now it’s Abbot’s turn... SCOTUS has ruled itself moot.

When your facts are meaningless in the context, it is you who needs to examine your need to post. My view of the world is just fine. Save your hollow preaching for some one that cares.
