Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch formed an unlikely alliance with the high court’s three liberal justices on Tuesday in breaking with the majority’s decision to temporarily keep the Title 42 border policy in place.

“The current border crisis is not a COVID crisis,” Gorsuch said in his dissent, joined by Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.

“Courts should not be in the business of perpetuating administrative edicts designed for one emergency only because elected officials have failed to address a different emergency,” he added. “We are a court of law, not policymakers of last resort.”

While they did not join Gorsuch’s dissenting opinion, Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan noted that they would also deny the application from 19 Republican state attorneys general to keep the controversial, Trump-era immigration policy in place.

In a 5-4 decision on Tuesday, the high court granted the states’ request to temporarily block and expedite its review of a lower court ruling that ordered the Biden administration to end Title 42.

No I don’t. You or I should be able to file a lawsuit that the Federal government is violating its constitutional and legal obligations and if our lawsuit gets to the SC then they should rule as such because they are. And it should be that simple to shut down all this illegal immigration.

Our laws are weak because most of our lawmakers are corrupt unprincipled scumbags.

Bingo!

You have a misapprehension of the Court’s duties and powers.

Of course they should stick to penumbras and such.
