Yeah he takes awhile to get into it. Basically, the scope of the current supreme Court action was to strike down the injunction that was in place to stop the federal government from removing the razor wire; the federal government is allowed to do whatever they were originally going to do, Texas cannot stop them. The court case has not been heard yet, but the supreme Court says there shouldn't be an injunction. The governor declared an invasion, and the term invasion seems like it hasn't been defined by any case in the US yet. The state of Texas has invoked a provision in the US constitution to secure their own borders during an invasion. This will likely have to go through the courts where they will have to define invasion and decide what the founding fathers meant with the provision in the constitution. We are probably two years out from the US supreme Court weighing in on this, but in the mean time a whole bunch of craziness will probably take place
Thank you very much. You did the heavy lifting so others don't have to.
Even "they can do whatever they want" is a step too far. The courts haven't decided if they can do it or not. The SCOTUS just overruled the preliminary injunction, which says to stop doing it until the case is decided. It's really at the "you can fuck around and find out" stage for the feds. The courts can still come back, after a trial on the merits, and say what the feds were doing is illegal.
