Yes. I’ve felt like they have tried to sidestep issues that need resolution imminently on a few occasions recently. I understand there is a process to follow, but if the underlying issue is at the SCOTUS, it should be addressed, rather than put off, wasting precious court time and taxpayer dollars.
Agreed. It feels like they do their best not to make the weighty decisions, unless it's an activist court that has the numbers to push through some creative interpretation on a specific case that has been custom built by the Left and that will have monumental repercussions in reshaping the country. When it's a Conservative court they avoid anything that might upset prior rulings. And over time, this is how we end up so far from original intentions.
It seems Justice Kavanaugh agrees with you. From Stephen Vladeck's summary of the case:
"But in the third paragraph, Kavanaugh writes that he 'would prefer not to remand to the lower courts and further put off this Court’s final resolution of the critical legal issues.' Instead, he would 'grant certiorari, order prompt briefing, hold oral argument soon thereafter, and then resolve the legal issues.'”
Brother, as a strong supporter of the second amendment, I’ve watched SCOTUS punt on so many blatant violations of it that I long ago grew quite skeptical of how they work.
Absolutely - like the 2020 election “ no standing” rulings. And what about the 1/6 hearings? Where was the scotus when lookey- lous invited & waved into the capital by police went to prison on a trespassing charge? And that was after they were arrested by FBI agents in full military gear.
Watching the SCOTUS over the past 50 years or so my opinion of them is that they are mostly left wing bureaucrat politicians masquerading as "judges". Robert Bork pointed out in the late '80's that the Constitution was a dead letter and and I think he was prescient, though I didn't think so at the time.
Allowing a couple of million jihadists, Chinese military men, Latino gangbangers, African/Haitian pagans, and various sundry crazy people running loose all over the US is not going to end well for many Americans. Nothing will change until the white cognitive elites of both parties, and their families, are being brutalized, raped, and murdered. Then, we might see our borders and laws enforced, you know, like a real country.
"Then, we might see our borders and laws enforced"
That has been my belief (hope?), but some of the stories coming out of Europe in the last few years, since the Islamic invasion, make me wonder.
Parents of rape/murder victims "forgiving" the perpetrators, rape victims seeking leniency for their rapists, large swaths of European capitals deemed "no-go" zones for local police forces, and of course, de facto Sharia Law in effect areas of France, Germany, Sweden, and God help us all, the UK.
I fear that whatever form of insanity has affected Europe may be contagious.
It is. The red (anarcho-communist) green (Islamic) alliance is very real and has already destroyed much of Western Europe. The great Islamic scholar Bernard Lewis said back in the '90's that by the end of this century all of Western EU would be Muslim, with a few Christian areas, and the rest dead or driven out. That is already the case all over the EU and in some of Canadian metropolitan areas, and it's rapidly occurring here in many places. My own Texas has several no-go zones of all Muslims: more are on the way. As you point out, most libs have absorbed the communist ideology of self-loathing and will not resist. Plus, most politicians, academics, and business hierarchies largely agree.
There's one near Pearland, south of Houston, another near Frisco near Dallas, and another south of Dallas, I think it's in or near Grapevine. The unifying characteristic is that there can only be mosques and madrassas in these communities, plus only muslims can operate businesses or live there. I did see that about Islamberg in NY. Patterson NY is also transiting to a no-zone, too. There about 800 of them in Western EU, too.
Thanks Chris, for actually reporting on the facts and not the hyperbolic stuff from both sides. I can remember a time when that's what ALL Journalists did. You are more of a journalist than 99% of MSM, although I do have to admit that's a pretty low bar ;)
I think we should form a hyperbole and crisis party. Everything is discussed with hyperbolic terms as an unprecedented crisis. I actually had a girlfriend who could be a charter member. I have turned off all media, except Substack and then, I only read very selected writers. Thank you, Chris.
Even Fox with the other right leaning press is joining the doom machine.
Bring back the old BBC news readers.
"Today, at 2:00 pm Congress was blown up. Further details to follow.
In Toledo, Mrs. McGillicuddy's cat was rescued from a tree. The cat is ok.
A nuclear war began today between Pakistan and India. No details will follow as our reporters seem to be missing".
If everything is a crisis, then nothing is a crisis.
The problem will be what they do. The liberal courts are going to give long notice requirements, and entitle these people to hearings which will effectively stop deportations and create the need for a system that does not currently exist. It is soooo complex.
The problem is ( I was going to be vulgar ) all these people who came in without due process are now potentially entitled to due process.
We’re talking about millions of people. Technically you may be correct , but it’s untenable and will cost millions of dollars to enforce. This is a proverbial rock and hard place.
In an ideal situation you are right. But this is not that and millions of people who came in under Biden will just be allowed to stay and that is also wrong.
Sufficient notice? Besides giving them time to pack a bag? With more than they came in with, most likely. Send a forward mail notice with USPS (that takes about 30 seconds). Stop the trash pickup and cancel utilities. That oughta cover it. OK ya got 24 hours.
Apparently the SC said 24 hours was not enough time for the accused to defend themselves. So there is that. The administration needs to suggest a reasonable process and time-frame and put the resources into place to do this at volume.
Someone had the idea to start with the CPB app and that sounds smart.
Again, something different needs to be done for illegal immigrant criminals who probably didn't use the CBP app.
This is a contest, a real challenge. Good things don't come cheaper easy, it takes good thinking and tireless effort.
In studying SCOTUS, the subtle nuances of Federal Law are usually VERY subtle and VERY nuanced. It's both a bug, AND a feature. But mainstream media seems about 99% insect! Or shape-shifting lizard aliens, or something! KUTGW!
It's utterly ridiculous that we should give illegals ANY KIND of notice. They've had over a years worth of notice, before & after the election! Did they give us notice they were going to invade, and take advantage of our country? No! So screw them and the Leftards protecting them! I'd be for charging these judges with obstruction, and toss their asses in jail with the illegals! Maybe that would change things?
The point is that someone may be misidentified, and a person might be deported who isn't an illegal immigrant. The court is, so far, talking about giving notice so that people who are misclassified can say so. "Actually, I'm from Cleveland."
You can't get on a f*g plane to fly anywhere since May 7 without a REAL ID or a US Passport. And I was born here! Misidentified???? Who the hell is driving this bus?
I get that, but, it shouldn't be too hard to determine upon detaining a person, whether or not they are here legally. What's stopping every detained person from making false claims of legal status? Then they get to tie up our legal system and stay longer, be released prematurely, eludes recapture for extended amounts of time? SMDH.
Well those caught lying to the court could face some stiff penalty as a deterrent. Certainly production of some supporting documents must accompany such a claim.
There's a process already in place! We know these individuals are here illegally, ship them out! Do you think ICE is just rounding up people in a big dragnet? No, most if not all, have criminal records HERE in the US as well as their home countries. This is just another leftist action to slow down the Trump administration. It's called "Lawfare!" Not one person has been deported by mistake. Furthermore, the leftist & media is spewing lies like they're going out of style. The Trump administration has made a very generous offer to these illegals. Self-deport and they get a free ticket home, a Thousand dollars upon proof of return,band a chance to come back "LEGALLY" in the future. If we have to chase them down, then, all bets are off.
Of course it's obstructionist, but to be successful they must figure out a way to proceed. Yes it will take smarts and effort and more resources, but there is a payback in lessening the burden on citizens and improving the wages of the lesser skilled workforce.
How does ICE determine whether a detainee is or isn’t a US citizen, and is making that determination something that ICE should be doing, and where does the onus of proof lie in such cases.
How determine? Been to an airport lately? If not, this is how it works:
"Hi buddy. Nice to see you and the wife. Can I see your ID? US Passport is fine. OK, well, the REAL ID driver's license from your home state will do, then. OK. Neither one? Well then, move out of this line into that one over there, and they'll get you back where you belong." That took less than a minute...
Well most Americans don’t have a passport, and these days only about 25% of 16 year olds have a driver’s license, so obviously your idea isn’t going to work very well.
I hope you never lose your bag on the way to the airport.
Not my idea Ludwig, that’s the system now. REAL ID or passport, or you can’t fly. I have lost a bag, I have been detained at re-entry, have had a passport confiscated (once reported lost, but found, oops my bad), not all in the same trip thank goodness. Just saying that there are laws and systems in place! And I was born here, going back four generations that I know of. My long-belabored point is that the sturm und drang about migration/deportation doesn’t pass the smell test.
What passes for the left recklessly objects to anything the “other side” does as a matter of course. And vice versa. When you look at the actual thing, or find that the scary thing in the headlines doesn’t exist, it will save you a lot of tranquilizers, booze, or whatever else you use for self-soothing. No one in their right mind should oppose the the government being forced to provide “enough notice that people have some chance to challenge the government’s designation in case the government has made a mistake” or we will surely find ourselves “government mistakes” all too soon.
It is shocking how partisans so quickly abandon their own innate rights when they are afraid, and how easy it is for those practiced in the dark arts of psychological manipulation can fire up paranoia for their purposes.
Do you remember high school debate? We'd go to the Modesto City Library to build our case using 'credible sources' of periodicals: Time Magazine, Newsweek, NYT, Sac Bee, LA Times...I remember one instructor specifically saying, "Books are generally not the best source as things change quicker than it takes to get a book published."
We had to use those enormous green 'periodical guides or abstracts'.
(Ok, so my high school mirrored--or at least we tried to mirror--Fast Times at Ridgemont High, so what we actually did was go in the back where the LPs were and listen to Cheech & Chongs 'Greatest Hit' wearing headphones and laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh...then just wing it for the debate. All the kids who didn't end up in Junior College or enlisting in the Army actually used those periodical abstracts...)
Until COVID, I was still under the belief that news was news. Framing might be a bit off, and listened to enough Rush to see a bias--but facts were still there.
If it isn't in X or SubStack--I simply don't trust it. It is so unbelievable for me to be in this place. I began delivering newspapers in the 5th grade for goodness sake..I've read the paper every day of my life since I was 10 years old--now, I only pick a paper up for the crossword puzzle.
You're correct that the decision has been reported inaccurately, but the decision is actually very problematic in that SCOTUS has now ruled that 24hrs notice is insufficient notice and due process ...and then *kicked it back down to the 5th circuit* instructing them to set out what IS appropriate.
Sooo, instructing them to legislate from the bench. SCOTUS is instructing the 5th circuit to make up law — to invent among themselves what the limits on Art II power should be in the arena of illegal removals. They say themselves that it's unclear, constitutionally, what due process should be afforded to illegals. But then they tell the 5th circuit to make something up.
No, no, no, no! SCOTUS is a constitutional court. It's only reason for existing is to answer the questions 'Is X or Y constitutional, or not?' and 'What does the constitution have to say about X or Y case?' such that it can be arbitrated. If they are admitting that the constitution is not actually clear on this specific matter, then the correct next step under the US system is to refer the matter to Congress, the legislature. Instead they have for some ungodly reason offered the 5th circuit the opportunity to invent law. I despair, honestly. This is not how the system was designed to operate, not at all.
Good. Yes today u cannot trust the MSM, you really need to go to primary sources. I learned that in 2018 when I discovered by accident that most of the MSM reported about Trump was lies.
Thanks for the link. You were right, go see for yourself. I agree with the dissent. But I could see myself voting with the majority on this case. I’d also reprimand the lawyers for creating a false crisis by jumping the gun on the District Court (read the dissent to understand the situation). The denial by the 5th Circuit was appropriate. And a denial by the Supremes would have been appropriate.
Last I read The Constitution*, the Supreme Court is the only court that gets its own article (3) devoted to it. That puts its importance on the same footing as the Legislative Branch (1) and the Executive Branch (2). No other inferior court is mentioned. To place an inferior court on equivalent footing with that of the President, effectively undermines the Executive Branch. Or, in so many words, the inferior courts appear to have gotten too big for their britches.
* Judges these days oughta try reading it. It's only a few pages long and relatively easy to understand (for literate folks). But hey, who follows The Constitution these days?
To be honest, the more I learn about how the Supreme Court operates, the less impressed I become.
Yes. I’ve felt like they have tried to sidestep issues that need resolution imminently on a few occasions recently. I understand there is a process to follow, but if the underlying issue is at the SCOTUS, it should be addressed, rather than put off, wasting precious court time and taxpayer dollars.

I’d sure like to see it. This is their job. They are there to give us the final answer, regardless of difficulty or their personal discomfort.
Brother, as a strong supporter of the second amendment, I’ve watched SCOTUS punt on so many blatant violations of it that I long ago grew quite skeptical of how they work.
Amen.
Absolutely - like the 2020 election “ no standing” rulings. And what about the 1/6 hearings? Where was the scotus when lookey- lous invited & waved into the capital by police went to prison on a trespassing charge? And that was after they were arrested by FBI agents in full military gear.
Every body that drops from now is on the Courts. They apparently don’t realize this isn’t the 1970s and they’re playing with fire that will burn them…
Thank you so much for the clarification. I can always count on you for that.

Muslim no-go zones in Texas? Really? Not doubting you, but can you point us to more info? please? You seen the "Islamberg, NY" videos on youtube?....
There's one near Pearland, south of Houston, another near Frisco near Dallas, and another south of Dallas, I think it's in or near Grapevine.

Then there’s the old Kentucky Fried Movie news spot: “Moscow in flames, missiles headed towards New York. Film at 11.”
Lol! Excellent!
It does seem reasonable that sufficient notice should be given prior to deportation for folks who have not yet been heard.
The challenge remains on how to do all of this expeditiously.
Agreed, and the Supreme Court is telling the lower courts to move quickly.
The problem will be what they do. The liberal courts are going to give long notice requirements, and entitle these people to hearings which will effectively stop deportations and create the need for a system that does not currently exist. It is soooo complex.
The problem is ( I was going to be vulgar ) all these people who came in without due process are now potentially entitled to due process.
Yes, I undetstand. But this will provide for mistakes to be corrected.
A long delay suggested by the lower court can be appealed.
We’re talking about millions of people. Technically you may be correct , but it’s untenable and will cost millions of dollars to enforce. This is a proverbial rock and hard place.
Well, I don't think it wise to give up, so if it costs millions, that's what it costs.
The alternative is no good.
In an ideal situation you are right. But this is not that and millions of people who came in under Biden will just be allowed to stay and that is also wrong.

Now there is a smart idea!! I'd guess that most of the criminal types tho did not use CBP.
Thanks for the clarification!
But I still believe the SC is kicking it down the line.
They are. But they aren't rebuking Trump, or entirely forbidding deportations.
In studying SCOTUS, the subtle nuances of Federal Law are usually VERY subtle and VERY nuanced. It's both a bug, AND a feature. But mainstream media seems about 99% insect! Or shape-shifting lizard aliens, or something! KUTGW!

Start Making Sense!
If they’re from Cleveland they will want to be deported from there. My wife is from Ohio so I enjoy making that state the butt of jokes.
I get that, but, it shouldn't be too hard to determine upon detaining a person, whether or not they are here legally. What's stopping every detained person from making false claims of legal status? Then they get to tie up our legal system and stay longer, be released prematurely, eludes recapture for extended amounts of time? SMDH.
And surely all the tda gang members with advance notice will show up to court for their due process.
Well those caught lying to the court could face some stiff penalty as a deterrent. Certainly production of some supporting documents must accompany such a claim.
At any rate, some process must be followed.
There's a process already in place! We know these individuals are here illegally, ship them out! Do you think ICE is just rounding up people in a big dragnet?

Stop calling it deporting and start using the phrase " assistant repatriation"
Of course it's obstructionist, but to be successful they must figure out a way to proceed. Yes it will take smarts and effort and more resources, but there is a payback in lessening the burden on citizens and improving the wages of the lesser skilled workforce.

Certainly there is PR to be had to support the mid term elections in all of this too.
Thwarting the will of the people sounds like an electoral loser to me.
The will of the people has been thwarted for quite some time now. We’re waaaay past voting our way out of this.
Well the next two elections will tell that tale. I remain hopeful, but I'm afraid I'll be horribly disappointed.
And NPR has the more accurate headline. Go figure
Wow Illegal Immigrants have more rights than actual citizens.
The J6 protesters didn't get 72 hours notice before they were drug from their homes and thrown into a DC jail without representation.
While whataboutism is compelling, it doesn't solve the problem. Two wrongs uave never made a right.
The administration does have a challenge ahead of them, but it's not the time to give up. It's time to overcome the challenges.
I know it's maybe not fair, life is not, especially today. But it is what it is.
