The US Supreme Court

[L'Emmerdeur]

Though Alito certainly doesn't bear sole responsibility for these wretched decisions, it seems he's happy to write them. Parsing a word in order to ignore the intention of a law requiring the claims of asylum seekers to be heard, so that the US needn't even evaluate the status of asylum seekers. 'I'f we stop them before they physically cross the border, the law requiring an evaluation of their claims doesn't apply!'

It would seem to provide an incentive for asylum seekers to cross the border illegally just to be heard, but the Biden administration instituted a rule that says entering the US without passing through an official border crossing will result in summary deportation of asylum seekers.

Imagine Congress required every patient who reached an emergency room entrance to be evaluated by a physician. Imagine the hospital responded by stationing security guards outside the sliding doors to prevent patients from entering. It would certainly be true that those patients never made it inside the emergency room. But few would think that observation resolved the legal question. The real issue would be whether the hospital could evade its statutory duties simply by preventing the very event that triggered them. That is, in substance, what the court approved here.

The system works perfectly, but only as long as there are no people interacting with it.

which is why they man the court with masses of faeces in the first place.
