US supreme court allows border patrol to cut razor wire installed by Texas | US-Mexico border | The Guardian

Justices grant emergency appeal from Biden administration in 5-4 vote while lawsuit over wire on US-Mexico border continues

 

Yeah no shit.

 

Quote

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday ordered Texas to allow federal border agents access to the state's border with Mexico, where Texas officials have deployed miles of concertina wire.

 

The order did not explain justices' decisions. For now, it effectively maintains long-standing court rulings that the Constitution gives the federal government sole responsibility for border security.

 

Quote

In October of last year, Texas sued the federal government after Border Patrol agents cut some of the wire strung along the Rio Grande, arguing DHS destroyed the state's property and interfered in Texas' border security efforts.

 

The 5-4 order from the Supreme Court vacated a previous injunction from the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that prevented Border Patrol agents from cutting the concertina wire.

 

The usual turds dissented.

 

Quote

Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh dissented.

Good lord we have to depend on justice handmaiden for some sense? Well and truly fucked.

The fact that the federal border agents have even let Texas law enforcement physically block them from helping migrants tells me this has gone on for so long because Border Patrol is lousy with chuds that like what Texas has been doing. Federal law enforcement knows perfectly well how to assert itself over state law enforcement when it wants to.

[Air_Delivery]

I'm truly curious on what the dissent is gonna be on this. Its insane this was 5-4

 

Edit: I guess this is about an injunction by the 5th Circuit, not the merits of the case.

Abbott keeps taking Ls.

That headline and article is extremely misleading. He isn't citing 'Supreme Law of Texas', he citing (wrongly) the US Constitution's part about States being able to repel invasion.

 

Quote

No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any Duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay.

Yeah, totally, just annoying since there are better ways to show this is an L on Abbot's part, like that the quote in the statement is a dissenting opinion and not what the Constitution actually says.

That's because it was an unsigned ruling issued without an explanation.

This is all you're gonna get:

 

Quote

Application (23A607) to vacate injunction presented to Justice Alito and by him referred to the Court is granted. The December 19, 2023 order of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, case No. 23-50869, is vacated. Justice Thomas, Justice Alito, Justice Gorsuch, and Justice Kavanaugh would deny the application to vacate injunction.

 

[osxmatt]

That’s unfortunate. I was really curious to get some context on Amy Coney Barrett’s rationale.
