News You Can Use (late afternoon ed): US Constitution allowed to govern in


Texas, by a 5 to 4 vote.

The Biden administration secured a significant win on Monday after the Supreme Court voted to vacate an injunction pertaining to the use of physical barricades along the U.S.-Mexico border in Texas.

The Court voted 5-4 in approval of the White House's request to vacate an injunction from the Fifth Circuit in October, which blocked President Joe Biden's administration from instructing federal agents to remove razor-wire placed along the border in Texas. The decision marked a rare victory for the Democratic president from the 6-3 conservative court. (Republican) Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, and Brett Kavanaugh were the dissenting votes.

"The application to vacate injunction presented to Justice Alito and by him referred to the Court is granted," the official ruling read. "The December 19, 2023 order of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, case No. 23-50869, is vacated."
The injunction was granted last fall by U.S. District Judge Alia Moses in response to a lawsuit filed in the Western District of Texas, and marked another major development in the battle between Governor Greg Abbott's administration and the federal government over the handling of border security. Abbott's state government has regularly taken to placing physical impediments for migrants along the border.... Opponents have countered, saying that some of the barricades, including the razor-wire, are overly dangerous and inhumane.

The four dissenting Republican judges should be required to read the US Constitution at least once a year.

The Supreme Court was not meant to be a Court of a Political Party.
