      Border control is literally federal jurisdiction. It’s weird that they didn’t just say that.

              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.

                  They require presidential authority to launch, but the physical operation of the weapons themselves is wholly independent. This allows for things like retaliatory strikes in case leadership is killed or can’t be reached immediately following an attack. This also makes them vulnerable however, if the people overseeing these weapons and the states they’re housed in become compromised by extremist ideologies.

      The SCOTUS has been filled with scumbags since day one, very seriously. They literally caused the civil war and prolonged the great depression. They also gutted the 13th and 14th amendments while deciding that people are militias.

      It’s an institution that only exists because the other two branches listen. It doesn’t have an army or a police force. Even the Marshals technically operate under the Executive branch. If the Legislature and Executive branches both decided to ignore them, then Roberts could whine a bunch, but nothing would happen.

      It’s there because of respect built over two centuries and then some. They seem determined to throw it away.

        Nah the litigants can apply to lower courts for affirmative relief in compliance with the higher court’s orders and the judges can issues writs of mandamus to any proper officer requiring the officer to do a thing, the failure of which is remedied by a writ of capias, which is a judicial arrest warrant. Would have to be a whole hell of a lot of local judges, cops, marshals, lawyers, clerks, administrators, etc., who would have to ignore it, before nobody ends up in jail or has their assets seized.

          Yeah but if the legislative branch doesn’t fund it and the executive branch doesn’t enforce it, then as my granpappy always said: “a writ ain’t worth a shit.” Lower courts, judges, lawyers, clerks, police, Marshalls, and even administrators notwithstanding.

        I propose we build a wall around the entirety of Texas and yeet it from the states. Then we can use any federal funds they were receiving to help people move in/out of Texas. They already have their own power grid, I’m sure it’ll be fine.
