Statements from the USCCB on immigration always push the same one-sided narrative. They ignore the legitimate interests and human dignity of American citizens and read like they were written by open-border advocates rather than Catholic bishops. It’s a real shame, and it costs the Conference serious credibility every time.
Haitians and Syrians have enjoyed Temporary Protected Status for over a decade. They have always known TPS is temporary and subject to revocation. Anyone granted this protection should be grateful for America’s extraordinary generosity and use the time to prepare for an eventual return home.
It’s also worth noting that this statement makes no effort to ground its position in Scripture or the Catechism. Catholic teaching does not require any nation to accept unlimited immigration nor does it suggest that deportation violates human dignity. In fact, nations have both the right and the duty to regulate immigration in service of the common good, beginning and ending with the common good of its own people first.
Check out the positive reference to Indianapolis at the end of the article and the negative “scold” to San Francisco’s and California’s wasteful spending of taxpayer money.
Thomas is quite obviously correct. Outcomes-First jurisprudence is the calling card of John Roberts. He decides where he wants to end up, and then incoherently rationalizes backwards from there. And then he acts surprised when people say SCOTUS is a political body rather than a legal one.
Alito in dissent: "Not only is today’s decision inconsistent with statutory text, legal context, historical practice, and precedent; it also threatens to produce lamentable consequences. The majority’s holding spawns a slurry of troubling election-law questions and risks further undermining Americans’ confidence in election integrity."
This is the unanswered question so far.
"The majority holds that a State complies with the federal election-day statutes if it requires that ballots are post marked by election day and received within five days after. But this ostensibly simple holding obfuscates the many unsettling questions that the majority’s position entails.
"For instance, do the federal election-day statutes impose any ballot-receipt deadlines? Mississippi counts absentee ballots that arrive up to five days after the federal election day, but nothing in the majority opinion turns on that 5-day duration. Indeed, some States will count mail-in ballots that arrive as late as 21 days after election day. If the 'election' is complete when voters fill out their ballots and send them on their way, may States eliminate ballot-receipt deadlines entirely? It appears that the only federal backstops for ballot receipt are the date when newly elected Representatives and Senators must report for their swearing in and the date when Presidential electors must cast their votes."
SCOTUS in 5-4 opinion authored by ACB determines Election Day doesn’t really mean Election Day. “The electorate’s choice is made when voting is complete, not when ballots are received.”
They definitely stubbed their toes on this decision for the sole benefit of late mail in voting blue states. Why would common sense thinking intelligent judicial minds such as these leave open these avenues of possible fraudulent actions in the counting of these late votes??
Read Alito’s dissent on why Supreme Court just enabled more voter fraud:
“Allowing absentee ballots to pour in over the days and weeks after election day, by which point preliminary election returns are being publicly reported, creates greater opportunity for fraud and risks further undermining the public’s confidence in election integrity.”
Europe should stop wasting money on the climate hoax so it can re-build its grid for the air conditioning, data processing and re-industrialization it needs. At least some of its nuclear fleet will need updated/next-generation cooling systems.

This is the largest and best-conducted epidemiology study on PM2.5 ever undertaken. It considered every death in California from 2000-2012 (2 million deaths) and found no correlation between PM2.5 and premature death. https://t.co/S7kpmaTkKe 4/
PM2.5 air quality standards are EPA's most powerful regulatory weapon. And they are completely based on science fraud. PM 2.5 is a scare invented by the Clinton EPA. If you've heard claims about "air pollution" killing people, that's the PM2.5 hoax. The Obama EPA used PM2.5 standards to wreck the coal industry. States are forced to refuse industrial, oil and gas and transportation development for fear of falling out of compliance with pointless PM2.5 standards. The nutty Biden EPA PM2.5 standards threaten the Trump energy dominance and reindustrialization agenda. Yet the White House can't seem to make the DOJ and EPA do what is needed to at least roll back the Biden EPA PM2.5 standards. We don't need PM2.5 standards and we should roll back all of them. But a good start would be rolling back the Biden standards, which put vastly more of the US out of compliance and subject to activist lawsuits and EPA tyranny. It's too bad President Trump pays more attention to the Reflecting Swamp than he does to the harm the DOJ-EPA swamp is doing to his agenda. /3
Trump DOJ and EPA drop ball in lawsuit over Biden EPA PM2.5 air quality standards, arguing cost when cost is not a permitted consideration. 🙄 Just stupid, if not 'resistance' sabotage.
But it's not too late to fix things. EPA has a good air quality science panel (CASAC) that could and should determine that PM25 is not a health risk. Then start a new PM25 standards review and rollback the pointlessly expensive rules. @epaleezeldin

@VigilantFox Fauci ran a literal RICO from the NIAID Office of Director.
Misfeasance and malfeasance were standard operating procedure under Fauci.
