NEW: The Fifth Circuit, on a 2-1 vote, keeps Texas's S.B. 4 criminal immigration law blocked, with Chief Judge Priscilla Richman, a George W. Bush appointee, stating that it "appears to run headlong into federal law." lawdork.com/p/fifth-circui…
@chrisgeidner @MuellerSheWrote "appears to run headlong into federal law." well yeah, judge richman, but when did that ever stop the 5th Circuit before?
@chrisgeidner They got the hint from Roberts yesterday that the lower courts are doing this too much. He was talking specifically about the Fifth.
@chrisgeidner Is this the 5th with a rare W?
@chrisgeidner The best news is the underlying implication that, for all it's liabilities, the originalist doctrine at bare minimum still separates us from some aspects of the arbitrary and cruel authoritarianism that the "conservatives" tend to go for these days
@chrisgeidner @MuellerSheWrote Whew! Thank god! The invasion can continue unabated! 🙄
@chrisgeidner Wow!!! What a shocker from the 5th, where fair access to the courts, minority rights and jurisprudence typically go to die.
