LAW PROF JACOBSON ON IMMIGRATION RULING: LOWER COURT CHAOS SLAPPED DOWN BY EVEN LIBERAL SCOTUS JUSTICES

From last night's Tucker Carlson interview:

Q. I think we’re bordering on legal chaos [because of the action of the lower courts]. Am I wrong?
A. I describe what the Supreme Court did the other day as really a slap down to the lower courts. They issued this ruling on a preliminary basis, which basically said lower courts, what you did was wrong. And not only that, nine Justices, every single Justice of the Supreme Court said that. Now they said it in varying degrees….
Not a single Justice, not even Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the leading liberal light on the Court, was supportive of what the lower courts did. And that’s why I think this was a tremendous slap down. I hope the [lower] courts will learn their lesson from this, I’m not confident that they will ….
I don’t know if it’s legal chaos, but what the lower courts did was really pretty outrageous …. [The Supreme Court said] no, you cannot strip the presidency of its constitutional and statutory power to control who enters the country.”
