No one provided any explantion for their vote.

USA, the country where everything's made up and the legal justifications don't matter.

[-] Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world 85 points 9 months ago

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

[-] Nougat@kbin.social 57 points 9 months ago

5-4 vote, I wonder what the four's reasoning was.

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 31 points 9 months ago

Partisanship. pure and simple.

the five voted- appropriately- as the supremacy clause has already answered the question.

[-] TallonMetroid@lemmy.world 29 points 9 months ago

"Fuck brown people", probably.

[-] stoly@lemmy.world 18 points 9 months ago

You're expecting conservatives to be consistent in their reasoning?

[-] Coach@lemmy.world -1 points 9 months ago

Toxic masculinity?

[-] Doorbook@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

Heard in news "it is inhumane" while the governments assisting Israel building a wall around gaza and commiting genocide.

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl -4 points 9 months ago

I'm giving you an updoot for that. Don't spend it all at one place!

Better that, than a Dootrupcy.

From NBC:

“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.”

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 44 points 9 months ago

This is literally settled shit since the Civil War. They're trying to bring back state law supremacy. Which led to... The fucking civil war.

[-] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 35 points 9 months ago

We're almost at the point of nobody cares what the supreme court has to say.

[-] stoly@lemmy.world 22 points 9 months ago

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.

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

Oh no, one small edit with a huge difference. The people as a whole are the militia. No it doesn't make any sense. But when you gotta get that gun lobby money for your next private jet Caribbean vacation....

[-] Shyfer@ttrpg.network 3 points 9 months ago

A People's History of the Supreme Court has good info on the terrible track record of the Supreme Court.

[-] stoly@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Sounds interesting, will check it out.

[-] frezik@midwest.social 8 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

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.

We still let them decide what is and isn't legal. I wish anyone cared that much about what I say.

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Well they're about to decide they get to set regulations, not agencies. So that's going to be fun and not at all a giant overreach for power.

[-] sin_free_for_00_days@sopuli.xyz 31 points 9 months ago

Can we just give Texas to Mexico and redraw the border?

[-] lookorex@lemmy.world 24 points 9 months ago

Pretty sure they wouldn't want it either, at this point

[-] Kraven_the_Hunter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 9 months ago

Shit, if we threatened to give Texas back, Mexico may just build that wall that Trump promised they would, and pay for it!

[-] Witchfire@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

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.

[-] mp3@lemmy.ca 3 points 9 months ago

They wouldn't be able to send their illegals to other states as easily if a wall is build around them tho.

[-] GrammatonCleric@lemmy.world 11 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

I live in Texas, and to be honest, I hear more Spanish than English when I walk around town

[-] GBU_28@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago
[-] Kbobabob@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

Diversifying the border between 4 states?

[-] GBU_28@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago

How is that better? The point is people from Mexico are trying to get into the US, and but getting the services they need

[-] Kbobabob@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Man, i got no idea what giving Texas away would solve. I was just pointing out what would happen.

[-] LesserAbe@lemmy.world 16 points 9 months ago

"the supreme court of heaven" based on the article thumbnail

[-] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 13 points 9 months ago
