A NEW disastrous ruling has come down from the Handmaiden’s court. (Well it’s really not the Roberts court anymore, despite him voting along with the majority on this decision.) They have granted a stay forcing the Biden admin to continue enforcing Title 42.
What is Title 42 you may ask. It is a Trump era policy that prevented asylum seekers and others from crossing into the U.S. because of Covid concerns. You can tell this was an authentic reason from how seriously Trump addressed Covid and related concerns in the rest of that Admin’s policy, which touted Herd Immunity as a solution.
So the Biden admin, being slightly more sane and distinctly less prejudiced cancelled this policy. And then Republicans states sued to stop the Biden admin from changing immigration policy, an admittedly absurd position that a new admin can’t change an old admin’s policy. If taken seriously then what would be the point of elections?…and from there to what ends democracy?
And yet the Supreme Court has decided this idiotic idea merits discussion and granted a stay preventing the Biden admin from cancelling the title 42 policy of the former guy. This decision was so bad and overreaching even Gorsuch dissented, along with the 3 Justices appointed by Democrat presidents. He says in his dissent “this is a court of law, not a policymaking court of last result.” He’s wrong though. The SCOTUS is now clearly a policy making court that reasons backwards from its desired result and has been ever since the Barrett appointment was rammed down our throat weeks before the 2020 election, if not from significantly earlier. Bush v Gore springs to mind…
