Here's a great article explaining where we're at.

I'm shocked, SHOCKED, I tell you, that this article, very light on the legal argument, totally ignores that South Dakota v. Dole was a ruling about Congressional authority.

I love how in right wing circles the powers of Congress have now become "Federal Government" powers. Is this what you folks identify as "clever"?

Especially considering that, as far as I understand it, the whole point of the ruling was that with the EO, the President unconstitutionally tried to use authority that is reserved for Congress. As illustrated by cases such as SD v Dole.

Basically, it needs to be a law, not just an EO.

So now Texas has banned sanctuary cities at the state level. Be interesting to see how this plays out.

So now a bunch of people in Texas are suing over the sanctuary city ban. I think that's for the best. Go ahead and fight it out in court so everyone has some idea of what their rights and obligations are.

Gathering them up and sending them all off to graduate school (the penitentiary). Get tough on crime and no delinquent left behind all rolled into one.
