re: We now have the dissent of Justice Samuel Alito, joined by Justice Clarence Thomas

You are acting like there isn’t a crisis currently happening. But it is.

The only crisis is in the mind of those who don’t like Trump.

Was it a crisis when Biden’s student loan plan was shot down by the Supreme Court and he went ahead and forgave a bunch of student loans anyway (illegally)?

You didn’t even notice. So I’m guessing you didn’t think it was a crisis.

Crises are not dictated by the ephemeral emotions of pussies.

The test is to prove whether the American people, or Congress, will care enough if the Executive branch Signals that they will not even attempt to abide by the Supreme Court.

What’s next? You want SCOTUS to order the President to bribe a foreign government or order the president to engage in military action against a foreign government?

Forgive me, but are you debating in good faith here? Your posts come off as a little bit sarcastic.

---

I actually am. I appreciate the question.

Maybe my tone came off as sarcastic because It’s frustrating to have explain why we should care about upholding the Supreme Court and the Constitution.

And I do feel like a lot of response posts on this board are not arguing in good faith.

At the end of the day, my primary concern is the integrity of our political institutions, so that things don’t evolve even worse in the future, currently and even beyond this presidential term.

Congress has got to get off their arse either way.

Correct. The Federalist Society sits in the cuck chair. The next recommendation that they make for the USSC should be burnt in front of their faces and then handed back to them.

This shows you're not arguing in good faith as many posters here have told you that the Trump admin is upholding the USSC ruling and is willing to receive this illegal back if El Salvador is willing to release him.

Where was your concern over sanctuary cities/states?

I have no problem being critical of Biden. The Supreme Court struck down the program.

I can have two thoughts at the same time.

quote:

---

Nebraska Attorney General Mike Hilgers, one of the state officials who brought the challenge to the program, praised the decision. In a statement, Hilgers said that Friday’s decision “is a timely reminder that the President is no king” but must instead “work with, and not around, Congress.” “Our elected federal representatives are closest to the people, have the power of the purse, and are entrusted with the responsibility of tackling difficult policy issues.”

---

And then Biden forgave a bunch for student loans illegally anyway.

You skipped that part.

At least the illegality has been addressed.

quote:

---

“We are pleased with the court’s decision and that this enormous fiscal damage has been stopped,” said Patrick Wright, vice president of legal affairs at the Mackinac Center for Public Policy. “But this whole brazen forgiveness scheme to circumvent Congress in order to give $188 billion to politically favored voters was shameful and worthy of congressional investigation.” The decision reinforces the constitutional principle that only Congress has the power of the purse, preventing the executive branch from unilaterally forgiving billions in debt at taxpayer expense.

Yes I do see that as a larger issue ….
Regarding immigration.

And I see the larger constitutional issue is related to the Supreme Court.

We have, at best, only 2 competent justices on the Supreme Court out of 9. The 3 liberal justices are a lost cause. The other 4 are unreliable and can be swayed by activists or other irrelevant considerations. A very scary and sobering thought.

Trump must do a better job vetting justices if he has the chance to make additional appointments.
