3. However 5 didn’t. And that’s what’s important

4. 5 judges understand constitution, 4 see no value in human life.

5. The Supreme Court is not in the business of ruling whether or not a law or action is moral. They are in the business of ruling whether or not a law or action is Constitutional. https://online.kidsdiscover.com/unit/how-america-works/topic/the-judicial-branch#:~:text=The%20Supreme%20Court%20is%20the,Court%20and%20one%20chief%20justice.

6. > Thomas, Gorsuch, Alito, and Kavanaugh

   Ah yes, the “good Christians”…

7. Four ostensibly *pro-life* justices.

   I guess some lives are worth less than others, to them

8. The Trump appointees need to be forcibly removed immediately.

   The safety of our nation depends on it.

9. I know it sounds callous in this context but the bigger issue is four justices think the supremacy clause is hot garbage and if one more agrees this country will break into 50 self-governing entities unfettered by federal legal authority.

10. The pro-life justices.

11. Four justices are either functionally illiterate or they don’t respect the Constitution of the United States of America.

    Hint: its the 2nd option

12. I will never forget the email I got from my senator after I implored them not to vote for Kavanagh. I begged them to choose anyone else, even another federalist stooge. I got a response. They stated that they did not represent me as a liberal and they were going to vote for him anyway.

    I will never vote for another republican ever again.

13. > But four Justices thought it was completely fine to leave people for dead in the Rio Grande.

    They don’t think of them as people, that’s the issue.

14. Without even reading the article, lemme guess: it was Clarence “Stephen” Thomas and the 3 MAGAs?

15. *reveals Jeopardy card reading ‘Who is Clarence Thomas’*

16. I sure hope a couple of those cranky old fossils retire soon.

17. Maybe Barrett has a heart after all

18. John Citizens United Roberts has been a disappointing Chief Justice.

19. This is overstated. This ruling only applies to a stay put into effect by a lower court. The real case will follow.

20. The actual big brain play here from Texas is to recede back by like half a mile to where they are on Texas jurisdiction and build a new Texas border wall.

    That’s really the outcome of this ruling. Texas just needs to build a second Southern border, which is completely fine and in their jurisdiction to do so.

    A Texas border wall is really the optimal solution here. It removes the burden on Texas to defend federal land, and allows federal officers to do as they wish without infringing on the rights of Texas.

21. Watch.🤣

22. They must be pro life..

23. Which four? (As though I have to ask…)

24. It’s important to expand upon this title. Four justices ruled that the supremacy clause is meaningless and that state laws should supersede federal law. Now let your mind run wild with what any state could do under that scenario.

25. Would this not set a precedent where a State Supreme Court could overrule the federal Supreme Court? Would this not utterly destroy their power? It’s like they’re not even acting in their own self interest, which is terrifying.

26. > But four Justices thought it was completely fine to leave people for dead in the Rio Grande.

    Is this odd to people? SCOTUS ruled that authorities have no obligation to save someone in danger.

27. I hope and pray Abbott ignores the Supreme Court. Biden picks and chooses what laws he wants to follow, why should Texas be any different?

28. Texas is bounded on its southern side by the Rio Grande.

    But if they had it their way, dead bodies would just start washing ashore, maybe even on the Gulf.

    Family vacation anyone?

29. Why the fuck are they letting illegals in anyways on an election year.
