A divided Supreme Court is allowing Border Patrol agents to cut razor wire that Texas installed on the U.S.-Mexico border, while a lawsuit over the wire continues.
This story is about the Supreme Court’s en banc decision on the application for certiorari, on appeal from the court below which I believe was the Fifth Circuit. The Fifth Circuit tossed the district court’s order finding in favor of Texas. The denial of certiorari is the explanation, it means they agree with the reasoning and analysis of the Fifth Circuit. It’s very rare for a denial of certiorari to have any commentary.
Ohhh the lower court. “Court below” kind of threw me.
Still, the SCOTUS vote on cert was 5-4 against. Four of them voted for cert, and while that was not the thing I was initially asking about, I do wonder about why they did.
The court below provided the justification when it vacated the district court’s ruling. Denying certiorari as in this order is the court saying they agree with how the lower court resolved the appeal.
USA, the country where everything’s made up and the legal justifications don’t matter.
Border control is literally federal jurisdiction. It’s weird that they didn’t just say that.
5-4 vote, I wonder what the four’s reasoning was.
Dumbass dickheads is the reason.
Partisanship. pure and simple.
the five voted- appropriately- as the supremacy clause has already answered the question.
“Fuck brown people”, probably.
You’re expecting conservatives to be consistent in their reasoning?

Just read the decision form the court below.

They are partisan hacks.
Toxic masculinity?

Heard in news “it is inhumane” while the governments assisting Israel building a wall around gaza and commiting genocide.
I’m giving you an updoot for that. Don’t spend it all at one place!

Better that, than a Dootrupcy.
