Absolute insanity. SCOTUS’ conservative majority repeatedly cleared away lower court injunctions so that Trump could implement his immigration agenda. Now it lets a single district court judge dictate foreign policy for the Biden administration. This is beyond outrageous.https://twitter.com/lawrencehurley/status/1430314819836645376 …

The big question was always: Are the Supreme Court’s conservatives consistent skeptics of nationwide injunctions against immigration policy, or are they just doing favors for the Trump administration. Now we know the answer. And it’s appalling.

Remember how Thomas and Gorsuch questioned the legitimacy of nationwide injunctions when they were issued against Trump? Their concern appears to have evaporated now that Federalist Society judges are issuing nationwide injunctions against Biden.

I have no idea how the Biden administration can negotiate a revival of Remain in Mexico immediately. No one does. It may be impossible. Set aside the immense suffering that the conservative justices just inflicted on migrants. From a geopolitical standpoint, this is demented.https://twitter.com/mjs_DC/status/1428833381043802112 …

Mark Joseph SternVerified account @mjs_DCIt sounds too crazy to believe, but a Trump judge literally gave the United States government ONE WEEK to somehow force the Mexican government to keep far more asylum seekers within its own borders. Diplomacy by judicial fiat. https://www.scotusblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/21A21.pdf … pic.twitter.com/jMZskxQYSLShow this thread51 replies 466 retweets 1,460 likesShow this thread -

I have very smart lawyer friends who assured me the Supreme Court would not do what it did tonight. That the conservative justices would not leap headfirst into partisan nihilism. They’re in a state of shock right now. This is one of the most lawless things SCOTUS has ever done.

Mark, here’s the line from the conservative court watchers—Adler is representative. What do you make of it?https://twitter.com/jadler1969/status/1430316692031393795 …

Jonathan H. AdlerVerified account @jadler1969This appears to be an inevitable consequence of the DACA decision. Once nebulous reliance interests short of legal entitlements are sufficient to prevent the rescission of even a potentially unlawful policy, this is the result. https://twitter.com/KimberlyRobinsn/status/1430315686052700160 …Show this thread3 replies 0 retweets 6 likes -
I doubt I'm that representative, in that my immigration policy preferences are likely closer to Biden's than to those Miller devised for Trump.

I think you're representative in one respect: seeing this as the inevitable jurisprudential outcome of Roberts' opinion commanding Trump to continue DACA without regard to its legality. Which it is.

Yes, that’s the sense in which I meant it. Meaning—not the directly policy political sense. But while I have the two of , what did you make of the district judge’s ruling and textual reading of the law?

I think the DACA decision (and extant CA5 precedent from DAPA litigation) made it easy for district court to reach its conclusion (but I don't like those prededents, nor do I like nationwide injunctions).
