Supreme Court allows Texas to enforce immigration law

The Biden administration sued to block the law, saying it tramples on the federal government’s exclusive authority to oversee immigration issues.

“The court gives a green light to a law that will upend the longstanding federal-state balance of power and sow chaos,” liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote in a dissenting opinion. Justices Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson also objected to the decision.

The majority did not explain its reasoning.

      But what happens when the GOP grabs power and they pass a federal anti-abortion bill? What is the dems pitch in the upcoming - and future - elections?

      “Vote for us and we might kinda-sorta pack the court but we don’t promise you anything.”

        Aside from “vote for us or it gets worse” they can promise to pack the court or pass an abortion bill or whatever, and then rely on one or two Democrats to block the legislation.

        But next time for sure!
