Update! Texas Says To Hell With The Supreme Court Ruling: Texas National Guard Adding More Razor Wire in Eagle Pass

[MAGA Macho Man]

If the FBI can ignore courts and refuse a judicial order to turn over Seth Rich’s laptop, and if Biden can ignore the Supreme Court ruling on student loans, then Texas has the exact same right to ignore court rulings as it sees fit.

Yes....
The decision was narrowly focused and much of what has been said is not correct concerning the decision.

The Major point is that Texas did NOT counter sue the Federal Government. (Which they should have and stopped all the nonsense)
It would have been an open and shut case at that point.

The case was that the state of Texas was interfering and keeping the Federal Border Guards from doing their jobs. And that was true....which is illegal. But the fact that the Border Guards have been told to not actually protect the border but instead to process illegal aliens pouring across the border was never addressed....because Texas never counter sued at all....that's why the court acted as it did. Evidence and decisions matter here. The court could only address what was before them without going beyond. It's called judicial restraint...and it's a good thing.

And Texas can razor wire a corridor that allows the border guard to do their jobs but still stops the aliens.

Don't you wish.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton released the following statement after the Supreme Court of the United States (“SCOTUS”) issued an interlocutory order permitting the Biden Administration to resume destroying concertina wire barriers placed by Texas on its side of the Rio Grande riverbank.

“The Supreme Court’s temporary order allows Biden to continue his illegal effort to aid the foreign invasion of America,” Attorney General Paxton said. “The destruction of Texas’s border barriers will not help enforce the law or keep American citizens safe. This fight is not over, and I look forward to defending our state’s sovereignty.”
......

Although the Supreme Court has permitted the continued destruction of Texas’s border security measures, this appeal remains ongoing, and the Office of the Attorney General will argue the case in front of the Fifth Circuit on February 7.

That is the case before the Court that will be heard February 4. This ruling by the Supreme Court was only temporary until the final rule in February. Which will be appealed no matter who wins.

At this point, all Biden can do is ask the court to find Texas in contempt. However, a contempt hearing will not be heard prior to the actual hearing date of Feb 4. What a foolish, foolish, move.

Tater ignores Supreme Court rulings, so why can’t Texas?

 

[BluesLegend]

The SCOTUS ruling did not prohibit Texas from installing more razor wire. It just permitted the border patrol to cut the wire...you know if they can find their misplaced wire cutters they lost on purpose while flipping Joe Biden the bird.

Biden is dangerous

Uh, not really.

The order was granting an emergency motion to vacate the 5th Circuit's injunction granted in December. You can't "counter sue" on a motion.

The case is on appeal and will be heard by the full court shortly.

 

[BluesLegend]

Biden is dangerous

And a traitor who ignores the SCOTUS, the Constitution, U.S. immigration laws and runs amok lawlessly doing whatever he feels like while Republicans in the House give each other hand jobs.

 

[Blaster]

Biden ignored SCOTUS on the student debt issue but now wants Texas to abide by their ruling.

Texas is free to try and find a different way to get around the ruling. Just like Biden did.
