The risk to liberty is not so much the failure to grant privileges to insurgents as it is the failure to stop insurgencies.

The risk is to be assessed by the Executive. The Judiciary should not be taking the authority to evaluate the risk away from the Executive. If individual abuses are claimed, they can be handled by the Judiciary through the court system.

Justices Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor and Neil Gorsuch were not eligible to rule in the case.

Gorsuch is new. Why the 2 commie flunkies?

Ruh roh.

So, the executive branch can’t be sued by foreign entitities for breach of their non-existent constitutional rights?

Not a lawyer, but can this decision in any way have a tangential application to Trump’s immigration executive order case to the positive?

That executive order has existing legislation to back it up, so this statement by the SCOTUS is interesting.

The article does not explain why three justices were ineligible to rule on the case. Does anyone else know why?

This is an issue for Congress, not the judiciary, Justice Anthony Kennedy argued in the court’s opinion

So was “homosexual marriage” . . .or the states.

But not you, you cowardly, pandering POS

Kagan and Sotomayor probably have friends or family in Gitmo. /s

The case was heard on January 18 before Neil Gorsuch was appointed. It is an eight year old case orginally filed in 2009. Sotomayer and Kagen may have been involved in earlier iterations or other immigration issues before joining the court. The decision say the same as posted in the article and does not elaborate on why.

Lazy journalists can’t even ask questions the general public comes up with.

I’m pretty sure that’s one of the first questions people would have on the ruling.

Q: What constitution does Breyer follow?

A: The one that allows the every increasing expanse of the Federal leviathan, counter to the plain English of its creation.

Breyer is not the ONLY ‘judge’ to do so, either.

What do I win? /s
