Texas and Louisiana do not have authority to challenge the Biden administration’s guidelines for when to deport migrants from the country, the Supreme Court ruled Thursday, handing a win to Preside…

Another bullshit legal theory from Texas goes down in flames. Justice Alito dissented because of course he did.

    I’m not saying I like the guy. I’m saying that it makes sense to write down the other side of the ruling for future reference.

    this implies they’re playing devil’s advocate but uh, that’s very much not what they’re doing when they’re in dissent. Alito and Thomas quite sincerely believe what they write–or at least do so enough to want them to be binding law.

      Based on the allegations against the two of them I doubt they have firm beliefs on much of anything besides how their position can benefit them personally.
