About 30 Pages Of Dissent, In Fifth Circuit -- But Trial Rumbles On -- In Rio Grande River Razor Wire Case

The denial of a stay of the trial proceedings, for Gov. Abbott, in the water buoy barrier case in the Fifth Circuit is only two lines long.

But then the GOP members of the Fifth pen 30 some pages of dissents and other political speechifying. . . none of which has anything remotely to do with the actual federal law in play here. Yes, we are all awaiting Supremes' arguments. and opinions -- but there is no rule based reason to stop the trial on the merits, down in Del Rio.

If this was simply a dispute over weekend boat docking privileges, on the Rio Grande, saving resources (trial court time) makes some sense, until we hear from the Supremes. But we already heard from them: they said the CBP and DHS are free to resume cutting the land based razor wire, to enforce the law as the feds are charged with doing so -- not the State of Texas.

Moreover, it is clear as day that people are dying in the river -- three documented, just in January 2024 -- tangled in Abbott's torturous concertina wire (floating) river barriers. Barriers that directly violate federal waterway laws.

These thirty pages of "slow down -- take your time on this. . ." are thus simply. . . unconscionable.

Who are these monsters. . .? Seriously?! Who?
