Ninth Circuit rules taxpayers don't have to provide lawyers for illegal immigrant children

In a decision that is shockingly sensible, a three judge panel of the notorious Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal in San Francisco has ruled that illegal immigrant children are not entitled to free legal representation, funded by taxpayers, in trying to legalize their status. Maura Dolan writes in the Los Angeles Times:

A three-judge panel of the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld an immigration judge's decision to deny asylum to a minor identified as C.J.L.G., who left Honduras at age 13 after being threatened by gangs.

The boy did not have a lawyer, and his mother was unable to find free legal help.

I had to read this twice. I couldn’t believe what I was reading!

Thank God I’m wearing sweat pants. Does this qualify as a sign of the apocalypse?

The Ninth Circuit?

Amazing.

Pardon me if I read this wrong; suffered a traumatic brain injury last weekend.

Just so hard to believe.

Writing on the wall? Tea Leaves giving a sign? ....Is this the end of times!?

Well, here is a story that is difficult to believe. The 9th circus doesn’t believe we owe illegal aliens everything they want?

[Hambone 1934]

9th circuit is getting tired of having all America know they are morons and the supreme court has to keep cleaning up their messes.

10 ... 9 ... 8 .... 7.... 6 .... 5 .... Countdown until the illegal alien advocates request an en banc hearing of the case by the “full” 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.

The 9th Circuit does make a good call every once in a while.

A few filled vacancies by Trump, and we may see a whole new dynamic to that court.

Don’t get me wrong. We were lucky here, and I know it.
