SCOTUS Sides With Biden On Border! Texas Vows To Defy!

Texas removes the razor wire.

Just like ignoring a fair election, Republicans continue to threaten democracy with their refusal to accept defeat and their intentions to defy constitutional rights.

President Joe Biden is right, Republicans want to strip away rights and impose assinanine rules to our country.

The far right Republican and several Democratic lawmakers dehumanize humans seeing refuge. They claim legitimate concerns about Biden and Donald J. Trump are just noise. Most of the lawmakers who complain about the U.S.-Mexican border do not live there. They use our taxpayer money to showboat.

Building a border wall is just a monument to white supremacy.

Israel has similar ways of dehumanizing human beings and defying law and order. 

The Supreme Court ruled that the state of Texas cannot place razor wire and obstruction devices to the border. It violates the treaties that the U.S. and Mexico agreed to. It violates the sovereignty of Mexico and interferes with the government's duty to protect lives and allow refugees to seek shelter.

Gov. Greg Abbott vows to defy the ruling and even dares Biden to stop him.

This 5-4 vote granted the Biden administration's request to vacate the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals' injunction in a case involving razor wire placed along Texas' border with Mexico.

The move paves the way for federal officials to remove the wire.

Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh dissented.

These idiots are supposed to be constitutional lawyers. 

Texas has maintained that it needs to act on the border because the federal government has failed to stem the tide of migrants crossing from Mexico.

Abbott launched a controversial state-led, border security effort called "Operation Lone Star" in 2021. Since then, Texas has installed razor wire, a floating barrier in the Rio Grande, and added thousands of Texas state troopers and National Guard soldiers to patrol parts of the state's 1,254 mile long border with Mexico.

Earlier this month, the Biden administration turned to the Supreme Court over the installation of razor wire on the northern banks of the Rio Grande in Eagle Pass. That came after the state sued the administration in October, claiming federal agents were destroying state property and preventing Texas National Guard and Department of Public Safety officers from securing the border.

A federal judge ruled in the Biden administration's favor, but the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals later decided the judge misunderstood a law that spells out what the federal government can be sued for.

On Monday, the Supreme Court sided with the Biden administration, allowing federal agents to cut through portions of the wire if they deem it necessary.

Republicans now want to declare independence from the United States aka Texit. Good luck on that. Cause they would have to lose their access to federal funding, citizens would be required to have a passport to enter the other states, they would owe the United States a lifetime of money for services.
