Supremes Have Had Enough

It appears the USSC has had enough. ( https://tinyurl.com/y4u5sc2k )

In an extraordinary rebuke, 7-2, the Supreme Court has told the 9th Circus to cut the crap.

At issue is the repeated set of national injunctions the court has issued -- this one, specifically, on asylum.

Circuit courts have limited jurisdictions -- but this has never bothered the 9th Circus, which has exploded with national injunctions under the Trump Presidency. This is patently unconstitutional and despite concerns over the clash between immigration policy in the Executive the law, the Supremes appear to have had enough of it.

Weighing on their decision, I'm sure, is that more than 80% of those who claim asylum fail to win their case -- and of those who fail most never come back to court to hear the ruling and leave the country. Instead they disappear into the nation and remain, burdening the United States and breaking the law.

This cannot have been lost on the court. It would be one thing if these "applicants" were generally successful, and only a few failed in their attempts. It would also be congruent with the law if most showed up for their hearings and abide the rulings therein voluntarily. But neither is the case.

The 9th Circus is an unlawful, rogue agency that ought to be destroyed and replaced. Their encouragement of raw lawlessness is unprecedented in American history and the lack of response from the good and decent people of this land, who always are the final arbiter of justice in any nation, is deeply disturbing. Were their rulings limited to that circuit then the people who live there could be reasonably charged with the responsibility for same -- likewise, if the impact of their rulings was confined there. Neither is the case.

The simple fact of the matter is that if 80%+ of the people who come under the jurisdiction of a law ignore it then it is no law at all. To give license to such acts is sedition -- the outright overthrow of government authority. That's the most-serious of crimes, second only to treason.

This ruling ends the bullcrap for now on the issue. It also ends the stone-walling by Mexico. ICE is now free, under the law, to refuse entry to anyone claiming asylum who has not made application in the nations they have passed through and has been refused without cause (e.g. as a criminal, etc.) These people no longer have a right to entry and to remain while their "determinations" are made; they're barred and inadmissible, period.

Eventually this case will find its way to the Supremes for final disposition. But in the meantime the court has shut down the tens of thousands of people a month who come into this nation with bogus, unsupportable asylum claims knowing damn well they're false and who have zero intent of compliance with the law when they lose.

It's about damn time.
