Turley on the Courts

Jon Turley made some good points about Alito scathing dissent on recent Supreme Court decision. Alito point was centered about the following points: that court had no right to act and had no input from the government plus court declares a crisis and then decided to act. Jon Turley noted, “Yeah, what Justice Alito is objecting to is that this is becoming increasingly improvisational. I mean, you know, you’ve covered the supreme court for years as I have, and we rarely see this level of – or number of emergency cases going in front of the Supreme Court. And a lot of them are half-baked, in the sense they don’t have the normal details, the record that you have. And the justices are expressing their frustration.” Turley added, “But in the same way, a lot of these challengers are bringing these cases fast and furious to the court. And what Justice Alito is saying is, “What are we basing our decision on? These things are coming to us with virtually no record…That is where the Supreme Court has a problem. Every single member of the nine-person body seems clearly frustrated with the bombardment of legal challenges all over the country. And even Elena Kagan can see the writing on the wall here: If liberal District Court judges act well outside of their bounds and it is tolerated, then conservative District Court judges will do the same, and the situation will only spiral.”

There is a crisis with the judicial and the Supreme Court must act. The Biden administration allowed millions of illegal in unprecedented numbers and now Trump administration has to clean up the mess quickly and Alito concern is that the courts made a serious mistake and leaves us with the question, if in the end the Courts make the wrong unconstitutional decision, what is the recourse?
