Good reply DE. My main gripe was with the way this was hoorhad as such a 'fabulous victory'. It wasn't - not by a long shot.

>>> Even the Supreme Court is not free to go off on tangents.

Well, they are not SUPPOSED to go tangential - but they have MANY times.

One of the most notable and historic times was Marbury v Madison.

Re: “And that is ALL that the decision said.”The case wasn't about anything else. The Solicitor General argued that the appeals court had exceeded its power in issuing its restraining order and that the case needed to be conducted in Texas, not the District of Columbia. That's all the court was being asked.

Even the Supreme Court is not free to go off on tangents. It gets asked a question and it provides an answer. If a different question needs answering, that's usually going to be a different case.

While I understand your frustration, the Solicitor General asked the SCOTUS whether the case should be heard in Texas. It said yes. You may have reason to bitch about the Solicitor General, but you shouldn't be angry with the SCOTUS.

I'll add that if the Solicitor General had asked a different question, the SCOTUS may well have declined to hear the argument at all. So I'm pleased with how things turned out even though it doesn't mean that this particular deportation case is finished.

The Left shops for courts that are friendly to its positions, keeps getting them and keeps getting unlawful rulings that a higher court has to shoot down. I'm sick of that. Monday's ruling may mean that THAT strategy is about played out. I sure hope so.
