Justice Alito is not evil.

No, but he is also not looking at the big picture. Alito is mostly a statist, like almost all judges on the supreme court.He is much more willing to side with federal power than anything else (examples are found in his treatment of 'asset forfeiture', the 'drug war', among other things.

Where Texas has erred is that they need to make a formal declaration of invasion and then start acting accordingly. It is past time to start shooting some of the foreign invaders. I don't expect it would take many casualties to stop the flood completely.More are dying in the Darien among other places. Killing a few invaders at the border is the humanitarian thing to do.

I disagree with that part of your reply, above. Shooting, killing, are not necessary.

Build the wall, so all who enter MUST come thru established entry points.

Texas CAN build the wall. But Texas and the federal government - combined - set the rate of entry, IMHO.

In brief, Alito thinks all is right with the world because he in on top. He defends the right of the state to do whatever it wants, along with its agents, while he is hostile to the rights of the individual. He defines the Bill of Rights narrowly, and finds that government officials have immunity when they violate rights. He prefers the federal government over the state government. Hence he is a federalist.
