quote:

Suppose two presidents exercise the powers of the executive branch. One does so under an explicit statutory grant during a time of declared emergency. The other acts pursuant to administrative discretion in the face of record-breaking border incursions. Now suppose that federal judges enjoin both policies. What happens next?

If the president is a Democrat, the Supreme Court stays the injunction. It instructs the lower courts to stay their hand, warning that questions of immigration policy lie chiefly with the political branches. It urges patience, careful deliberation, and above all, continuity of government operations while the matter is litigated.




Good article that compares SCOTUS action on Biden's parole policy and Trump's AEA

A defender of the Court might suggest factual distinctions. Parole and removal are different contexts, and each case is unique. But this evasion collapses upon closer scrutiny. In both cases, a president acted under color of federal immigration law. In both, litigation ensued. In both, district courts weighed in. But only one president was permitted to continue enforcement during litigation. The other was not. The judicial principle, if one can call it that, is not one of law but of partisanship.

Dems challenge everything, we didn’t under Biden. Rublicans bowed down to Biden and participated in Ukraine war funding.

The actions of SCOTUS in the very near future regarding the clearly unconstitutional power play at hand will certainly determine the fate of this country.

There was a time when you could trust the supreme arbiters of the law of the land to protect the interests of America. But now I fear that time has long since passed.

The argument is republicans follow the law above politics. The Democrats don’t.

Sums up the sad state of our Judicial branch.

It has become a weapon. The Left has made of mockery of what it was intended to be (as they have with many other things).

By Any Means Necessary.

When you have understand how much of the leftist agenda is achieved not through votes, but through the courts, it's obvious why leftists fill the courts with ideologues.
