“Especially in an immigration case like this one, it is also important to stress the proper role of the Judiciary,” Kavanaugh wrote. “The Judiciary does not set immigration policy or decide enforcement priorities. It should come as no surprise that some Administrations may be more laissez-faire in enforcing immigration law, and other Administrations more strict.

“Article III judges may have views on which policy approach is better or fairer. But judges are not appointed to make those policy calls. We merely ensure, in justiciable cases, that the Executive Branch acts within the confines of the Constitution and federal statutes.”

Kavanaugh pointed to the high court as an example of staying within its “constitutionally assigned role” in a pair of rulings: in 2023’s United States v. Texas and 2022’s Biden v. Texas, both during the Biden administration, which deferred immigration policy to the executive branch rather than allowing for courts to decide.


This entire letter should be mandated to be posted in every courtroom in the country. And errant judges should be required to undergo continuing education to be reminded of what they may have forgotten since law school.

How?

This:

Has been my argument in these discussions.

Kavanaugh should not make such pointed statements without consulting SFP about the technicalities

Again

This:

Has been my argument. There is no conflict in what he said and what I have argued.

For some recent reference points

Only within the limits of the particular statute.

He doesn't get to add executive authority (or agency, to use your term) outside of the limits of the particular statute.

So how do we decide if the President is acting outside of the very limited authority granted to him by the applicable statute?

According to his testimony for becoming a Supreme court justice, you'll have to get on his calendar to buy him that beer. He didn't do anything outside of his calendar.
