Why John Roberts’ Citizenship Decision Is Legally And Politically Corrupt Since when is the Supreme Court in the business of going beyond constitutionality to mind-reading as to why bureaucrats devise policies that are constitutional?By Ben Weingarten
July 15, 2019 Are we a nation of laws or a nation of men? Previously, the most radically leftist federal judges had failed this test on cases pertaining to the Trump administration. Now the highest court in the land has joined them.
The fight over whether the simple question, “Is this person a citizen of the United States?†could appear on the 2020 U.S. census already implicated major issues of public policy, including immigration, national sovereignty, and voting rights. But the Supreme Court’s recent ruling on the matter has now transcended these issues to challenge the rule of law itself, once again raising the question: Who is really “violating norms,†“undermining institutions†and creating “constitutional crisesâ€â€”President Trump, or his Resisters?
The majority opinion in Department of Commerce v. New York, delivered by Chief Justice John Roberts, reads like former FBI director James Comey’s infamous statement regarding former secretary of state Hillary Clinton’s email server. It presents a methodical, compelling case that should result in a just decision, only to undo the case on the most baseless of grounds.
It’s Constitutional, But We Don’t Care<..snip..>
