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.

Totally agree. We are at the point where states need to say “No” to all branches of the federal government.
Men are generally more conservative than women. Women depends on the government to help them to raise their children.
even with a 6 to 3 majority we still cant win!!!!!!!!!!
WE ARE SO SCREWED. I hope I am dead long before it gets dangerous and awful
Kavanaugh and Gorsuch are both 50/50 although if I have to pick, Gorsuch is a little better. Gorsuch is weird on some issues related to Native Americans.
False premise; the rest of your post is worthless and I did not read it.
50/50 don’t cut it imho.
i can only think of three decisions in the last decade by this court that were totally good for America. that’s three out of 1000’s. and i think Thomas and Alito get most of the credit for those.
Stop them. Block them. Tell them to get lost.
But to answer your question, at least not in the way they are doing it. Maybe they need to line up the buses on the other side of the border, have the destination placards say New York, Chicago, Denver, load the people up and head south toward Guatemala and Honduras.
No, it forced border patrol agents to comply with the law. At least in Texas.
Yes I do oppose them. But not just on the court. Also on school boards, Governors offices, the White House and Congress also. There are indeed Souter-type weak men out there. But as a group, women as government leaders have been an abysmal failure as an experiment.
And we will have another 40 years of the wisdom of Amy Conehead Barrett who was picked for her sex. Other than abortion she has been worthless.
I think the states do have the right and authority to protect themselves internally (but they can’t cross into another state to do so). That’s what a state’s National Guard is for, as well as the state’s State Police.
Where I think the feds have jurisdiction is at officially established border crossings; but border crossings at other, unofficial locations — i.e., illegal crossings — should fall under the rights and powers of the affected state for such crimes as trespass, vandalism, vagrancy, or any other act that falls under state law. But states do NOT have authority over immigration, as that falls under the feds. That’s how leftist states that failed to cooperate with the feds on immigration cases got a pass: They said they had no authority on immigration cases, and thus had no obligation to cooperate with the feds on those cases.
“And we will have another 40 years of the wisdom of Amy Conehead Barrett who was picked for her sex. Other than abortion she has been worthless.”
And yet she has sided with the majority 84% of the time, on a relatively conservative 6-3 court.
I think we’re pretty much in agreement.
That’s what should already be happening.
At this point, I am more in the make it very publicly known that the state of Texas will not assist border patrol in any fashion for any reason. You call requesting back up for whatever reason, dont’t respond to it, don’t even acknowledge it.
Everything Trump does when he becomes President will be immediately sued and to the courts. Nothing will get done. :(
Just arrest the illegals as the BP lets them go!
