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.

Hmmm ...
Alito: Nominated by George H.W. Bush.
Thomas: Nominated by George H.W. Bush.
Brown: Nominated by Joseph R. Biden.
Sotomayor: Nominated by Barack Hussein Soetoro Odinga Obama
Kagan: Nominated by Barack Hussein Soetoro Odinga Obama
Roberts: Nominated by George W. Bush
Kavanaugh: Nominated by Donald J Trump
Barrett: Nominated by Donald J Trump
Gorsuch: Nominated by Donald J Trump
How do you figure that?
Or, just axing a question?
possible, but with Thomas’ Christian character, unlikely. he’d die before he knuckle under to the deep state.
Roberts....
Well, Biden is defying the SCOTUS over student debt, then defy this Abbott.
Yes he should. Just like Pedo Joe did when they told him he couldn’t pay the student loan bills for the college dead beats. I can’t believe Pedo Joe the Child Molester stands up to the Screwy Supremes and the Republicans won’t.
i would tell you but in the end it is just a semi-uninformed guess on my part. maybe a lawyer could comment. if i have time i will backtrack the case.
We’re done for.
“Many men can’t handle that either, but women especially care about those things. “
Good point.
That’s one reason why I favored the Indian guy (can’t find the name right now). because he has already defied ethnic, family, social, and professional pressure to be a conservative Judge.
With a Supreme Court like this whose to say Trump will be allowed to stay on the ballot..it takes just Roberts to side with the commies to end it
“Allows border patrol to cut wire”....so now we will see WHO gives the ORDER FOR BORDER PATROL TO CUT WIRE????
5-4
Yep - Traitors Roberts and Barrett ruled against protecting our border.
Like the “The Battle at Do long Bridge”, we keep the bridge open, they keep taking it down.
At this point why not just ignore SCOTUS? Biden does it all of the time.
OK, thanks.
Vivek Ramaswaney.
Needs to change his name...
No, the guy I was thinking of is currently a Federal Judge.
Was on the short list along with Barrett.
It is time for Texas to ignore the Supreme Court.
People should be at the border filming these border agents cutting the wire and putting their faces out for all to see as they enable illegal immigration while on US taxpayer-funded salaries.
Defund the BEEPS! They aren’t doing the job they were hired to do.
Why would Amy Conehead Barrett surprise you? Her first act as a new judge was to recuse herself and refuse to stop 2020 Pennsylvania for accepting votes without postmarks for another several weeks? Her very first act was to help throw the election.
I remember how dreamy everyone thought she was because of what she sits on. And then of course, that empty notepad she showed everybody. She’s so smart she doesn’t even need to take notes!
Nobody clicked that the empty pad reflected her intellect.
Freakin’ A-hole. This is why you don’t pick someone for their sex.
