Supreme Court signals rough sledding for Biden's agenda
Washington Times ^ | Aug 25, 2021 | By Stephen Dinan

Posted on 08/25/2021 3:58:18 PM PDT by Jim Robinson

The Supreme Court‘s ruling this week reviving a Trump-era border policy sent shock waves through the immigration debate, signaling that the justices will present major hurdles for President Biden as he tries to impose his more relaxed approach to immigration enforcement.

Stephen Miller, an architect of President Trump‘s immigration agenda, had been anxiously awaiting the court‘s first encounter with a Biden policy.

“My greatest fear was that we would wake up in a world in which all of the precedents that were built up over the last four years to enjoin President Trump‘s lawful actions would be suddenly forgotten when it came to President Biden‘s illegal actions,” Mr. Miller told The Washington Times. “What the Supreme Court said with its 6-3 ruling is that every single one of Joe Biden‘s actions, particularly in the immigration context, are extremely vulnerable.”

The ruling itself was limited.

The justices declined to issue a stay of a lower court injunction that found the Biden team acted too rashly in erasing the Trump-era “Remain in Mexico” policy, violating the Administrative Procedure Act. Remain in Mexico — the policy’s official name is the Migrant Protection Protocols — was used to solve the 2019 border surge, but the Biden team argued that it was too cruel to migrants and had to go.

The court‘s ruling was narrow, but the implications were huge.

By refusing to overrule the lower court, the justices signaled that they would give judges significant leeway to settle disputes over the expanding use of executive power in the Biden era, just as they did for Mr. Trump.

Biden has already shown he will ignore them. How many divisions do they have?

Supreme Court signalled its capitulation to the deep state with FDR’s New Deal.

It has since dug in for the deep state, with Obamacare and many other rulings.

There is order, but liberty has been sacrificed.

You have a great point. The SCOTUS ruling does zero to slow the rate of border crossing.

The government is for the global order, not for the US.

“Supreme Court signals rough sledding for Biden’s agenda...”

Be patient democrats, they’ll come around.

Rough sledding?

They’re responsible for putting him in office.

True. The court ruled the eviction ban by CDC was illegal and Biden administration simply flipped them the finger and continued doing it.
I doubt a single thing at the border will change.

I am sorry but I have trouble trusting in the integrity and willingness to defend our rights under the US Constitution of this SCOTUS.

Over one million illegals have crossed the border since Biden took office. That's enough illegal aliens to form the 10th largest city in America. Maybe they'll do that.

On the bright side they may have to go underground now and wouldn’t risk registering to vote. Of course they could buy an identity from the hackers that stole my data from T-Mobile.

.

In everything that is being done under the senile puppets and queen pelosis regime, you have to ALWAYS REMEMBER what they ATTEMPTED TO DO as well as the atrocities they have managed to perpetrate.

Do you rally think the commies will just do what the supreme court says it should do? They are already not obeying the border law.

… Biden as he tries to impose his more relaxed approach to immigration enforcement.

Now that’s a hoot. The only enforcement has been against people fleeing communist Cuba. He pushes them back out to sea.

It’s going to take a few more rulings from this Supreme Court before I become a believer that they have become believers in the rule of law.

Roberts is unpredictable.

But we’ll see. Some gun cases are in the pipeline I thought.

I have thought that the Court might be showing its authority also with the threat of expanding (packing) the Court being launched by the left.
