I found the opinion offerings in the major outlets pretty disappointing this morning, not giving me much fodder for commentary. There is still some caviling over Trump’s national emergency for wall-building but nothing particularly new is being said.
Most seem satisfied to let the matter play out in the courts. So far none of the plaintiffs I’ve heard about bringing suit would have actual standing. The courts may rule differently which is an illustration of the point I’ve made before. Far too many Americns are only concerned about the rule of law so long as the law promotes their own policy preferences. In other words they want the courts to enforce their preferred policies regardless of the law.
I feel confident in predicting that is what will ultimately transpire.
