Thank God they got this right but I'm still waiting for someone to show me the constitutional language that limits enforcement of federal law to federal agents.
Or why did Texas have to pass a new law to do this?
Seems we will need a lot more buses to drive these folks to NY and Chicago.
We know, and what is better, we feel inwardly, that religion is the basis of civil society, and the source of all good and of all comfort. We know, and it is our pride to know, that man is by his constitution a religious animal; that atheism is against, not only our reason, but our instincts; and that it cannot prevail long. ~ Edmund Burke

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
Unfortunately that only lasted for hours... apparently what the SC decided was that they rejected the administrations request to knock down an appellate court (5th circuit) ruling that stayed the district court's ruling.... which 'allowed' for the law to be enforced... however the 5th circuit then dissolved another stay that put the district court's stay back in effect.... so now, a 5th circuit panel needs to actually 'rule' on the legality of the law....
And one of the most infuriating aspects of this is that the district court judge is actually a federal judge from Hawaii that john roberts has assigned to the Western District of Texas to "assist with the heavy caseload...."

To date there have been two entirely separate three judge panels involved at the 5th circuit and this will surely wind up being decided by the entire 17 members.

That's what I was thinking.... hopefully they decide correctly!
