The 5th Circuit Delivers a Shockingly Ruthless Rebuke of Joe Biden's Lawlessness
By Bonchie | Dec 14, 2021 2:00 PM ET

You may recall some weeks ago when RedState reported on the Biden administration moving to reinstate Donald Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” policy.

Upon taking office, Joe Biden pulled out his pen and phone and nixed the measure that had stemmed the tide of unqualified asylum applicants and trafficking of children. Soon after, with the Obama-era policy of releasing illegal immigrants into the interior with a court date back in place, the current surge at the border began. That surge has continued, reaching record levels over 2021.

Eventually, the courts got involved after several states sued, leading to an order to reinstate the “Remain in Mexico” policy. Last month, the Biden administration made the move to follow that order, including securing a deal with Mexico, whose president had opposed ending the program in the first place. Of course, that move wasn’t willingly, as the government sought to appeal the decision.

Now, the 5th Circuit has slapped down that attempt at an appeal, and the decision is absolutely savage. That’s not hyperbole. Read every word of this. It’s one of the most direct condemnations from a court I’ve ever seen of a president.

It's a pretty good rebuke.

I have brought this up in the past how can they not stop Traitor Joe from canceling an EO but they stopped Trump. The answer seems to be Traitor Joe can't do it either.

Here is a paraphrase of what the Appeals Court said:

    You, Biden administration, may not simply issue a new policy
    that is identical to the one that the court has already ruled to be unlawful,
    and claim that the court's ruling is moot,
    because it struck down the previous policy, and not the "new" one.

The Biden administration is claiming a "right" to
continue violating a law that it has already been ordered to stop violating!

That's like someone stealing from their neighbor,
being orderd to return the property,
and then stealing the same item again,
claiming that, "Your prosecution of me
applies only to the LAST theft, not THIS one!
So I should be allowed to take the same item again!"

Here is the full text of the court's ruling:

The ruling cites the specific sections of law that the Biden administration is violating.

They have gotten away with violating so many laws for so long they have come to believe none of them apply to them.  This is a good start at disabusing them of that notion. Too bad it didn't happen last December. (Texas vs Pennsylvania)
