The anti-immigrant Supreme Court

Mother Jones calling the court "anti-immigrant" tells you exactly where they're starting from. I'm not saying the rulings are right, some of them genuinely worry me, but when you frame every decision as nativism you lose the people in the middle who might actually agree with you on the specifics. My neighbor came here legally twenty years ago and he doesn't see himself as part of either side of this fight, and neither do I.

The black suits don't care about borders or nativism, they just want control and they're using the six robes to make it official for the public, just like Snowden showed us. Trump's just a puppet for whoever is really pulling the strings here.

Mother Jones doth summon the spectre of "nativism" as readily as a physician summons leeches, applying it to every ruling that displeaseth their partisan humour. Yet mark thee well: three cases from a single week proveth no grand conspiracy of the black-robed court, only that cases were heard and decided. The Bard himself knew that a tale told by an ideologue, full of sound and fury, signifieth the agenda of the teller more than the truth of the matter.

That said, I shall not pretend these GOP justices are blind arbiters of pure law, for they are no more impartial than the progressive justices who read their own gospels into the Constitution's sacred text. Both sides have their zealots upon that bench, and both claim the mantle of justice whilst wearing the vestments of faction. Mother Jones names the disease in one party and knoweth not that the other party's fever burns just as hot within their own breast.

The republic suffereth not from an "anti-immigrant court" alone, but from a court grown into a third legislature, where five votes maketh policy that no Parliament of the people hath ever passed. THAT is the wound worth naming, though neither Mother Jones nor the MAGA faithful possess the courage to name it truly.

Fare thee well.

Mother Jones calling it "nativist" the second any court decision touches immigration enforcement is so predictable I could set my watch by it. Enforcing the laws that Congress actually passed is not nativism, it is the job. The fact that they're horrified by this tells you they've been banking on courts not doing their job for so long that actual enforcement looks radical to them.

My kids know what legal immigration means because I taught them civics from primary sources instead of a teacher's union curriculum. There is a process. It exists for reasons. Wanting people to follow it is not hatred, and no amount of breathless Mother Jones coverage is going to make it so.

Wells I'll be doggoned Mother Jones done called the whole Supreme Court "anti-immigrant" cause they keep reading the dadblamed LAW and the law says you caint just waltz on in here without papers and I reckon that makes them anti-law-breaking not anti-immigrant and there is a difference but I dont expect nobody over at Mother Jones to know bout that seein as how they think followin the rules is some kinda hate crime now and my daddy come here legal and waited in line and done it right and I bet Mother Jones wouldnt write no article callin the court anti-daddy now would they, no they wouldnt, cause that dont fit the story they already got wrote before they even looked at them three cases and I tell you what if three cases in one week is all it takes to call nine justices nativists then somebody over there got a real loose definition of the word nativist and a real tight definition of "journalist"

"Eager to back."

Not bound by precedent. Not following the law. Eager. Three cases in one week and the word that fits is eager. That's not a court doing its job. That's a court with a project.
