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.

“Move it back 15 feet and make Biden sue again.

Repeat as necessary.”

Agreed

Too funny! But that is how the Dems would play it. Look at the games they’re playing with 2A Bruen.

Start arresting the border agents for assisting illegals in crossing the border.

Is anyone surprised at that. The Texas gov likes to pound their chest but they will not put their money where their mouth is. “Oh, but they said we had to…”.
Bread and circuses, nothing more than show.

I don’t blame them.

Texas would have no support if they tried.

Welllll, Biden didn’t think the Supreme Court mattered when it came to “forgiving” student loan debt. Is turn about fair play?

the USSC order is not accompanied by any supporting argument/reasoning.

I don’t know how this stuff normally works, but IMHO texas deserves some accompanying reasoning. I have been led to believe that peoples’ lives may be at stake.

“We have come to the highest court enforcing breaking a law, while making enforcement of a law illegal.
We are so screwed…”


If you are demoralized now, wait until Trump gets back in and tries to enforce the border at the Federal level.

to counter this legally, texas would seem to need to bring consideration of secession to the forefront of the texas state legislature. so, would the texas state legislature go for secession?

this would have been a good reason for the USSC to include reasoning.

the USSC does not seem to take the larger situation very seriously.

Well, I’ve defended her for voting the right way on some landmark decisions (Dobbs, Bruen, 303 Creative, Citizens for Fair Admission, etc.), But there are more and more signs dhe will turn out to be a minor disappointment. (At least I hope it’s just minor ). And it’s not because she’s secretly deep state or whatever. She’s a woman and there are very few women who are up to the social ostracization that comes with being an originalist judge on the Supreme Court. No party invites, constant bashing by the media, Twitter idiots looking into your family’s intimate life, etc. Many men can’t handle that either, but women especially care about those things.

They were being prevented from the duties they were direct not to do by the administration????

Classic 1984 double speak.

I really hate the way the media lies.

Ask any Border Patrol Agent if they want to remove the razer wire and their answer will be Hell No.

They will be allowed to remove the wire under threat of disciplinary action of they don't. Why aren't they allowed to keep it in place?
