The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Dope: The deal the Senate has gives the democrats 5,000 illegals A DAY over the border.

Lankford, one of the architects of "the deal," said that's a complete lie.

bighairymike: If the Dems delivered on their part of the bargain back then, we would not be in quite the mess we are today.

Tell us, please, what did "the Dems" promise that they did not deliver? Quotes and links, please.

Tonight's news is that the Supreme Court has vacated the Fifth Circuit Court's injunction in Texas and is allowing US Border Patrol agents to remove razor wire deployed by Texas GOP Gov. Greg Abbott’s security initiative at the US-Mexico border while the state’s legal challenge to the practice plays out.

In a 5-4 ruling, Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh said "who needs a Supremacy Clause anyway" and would have denied the federal request. Justices Roberts and Barrett joined the three liberal justices in forming the majority.

So much for those on the right who scream for “originalists,” and “textualists” on the high court. Those four staunchest originalists voted against the Supremacy Clause.
