Supreme Court refuses to salvage Biden immigration guidelines

 National Review:

The Supreme Court on Thursday declined to restore the Biden administration’s immigration enforcement guidelines that set priorities for deciding which illegal immigrants should be arrested and deported after the guidance was blocked by a federal judge in Texas.

The justices did not explain their reasoning in the 5-4 order but said the Court would take up an appeal of the case and hear arguments in December. The three liberal justices, including newly sworn-in justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, were joined by Justice Amy Coney Barrett in dissent.

The guidelines at issue instruct immigration officials to focus on arresting and deporting immigrants who are national-security threats and immigrants who recently crossed the border illegally.

“We will use our discretion and focus our enforcement resources in a more targeted way,” the guidelines said.

The administration argued that the guidelines, which were issued in September and would mark a return to Obama-era policies, are necessary because the government does not have the resources to apprehend and deport more than 11 million illegal immigrants in the U.S.

A federal judge in Texas blocked the guidance, saying it allowed the release of illegal immigrants with criminal records. Judge Drew B. Tipton’s order came in response to a lawsuit brought by Texas and Louisiana. The two states said the release of illegal immigrants with criminal backgrounds is a burden on their justice systems.

“Through the Immigration and Nationality Act, Congress has directed the Executive — in mandatory language — to detain specific criminal aliens,” Paxton wrote.

The Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals denied a Justice Department request to stay the lower-court order pending appeal, leading the administration to ask the Supreme Court to reinstate the policy on an emergency basis.
...

Biden's immigration policy has been irresponsible and a danger to the citizens. His failure to control the border is worthy of his impeachment.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
