In a surprising turn of events from the often-wishy-washy U.S. Supreme Court, all nine justices unanimously ruled against a criminal illegal alien’s bid to block his second deportation.
On Monday, Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor — a liberal appointed by former President Barack Obama — wrote in a 9-0 opinion that Refugio Palomar-Santiago, an illegal alien from Mexico, had no right to challenge his deportation following a DUI conviction.
In 1988, Palomar-Santiago was convicted of a felony DUI by a California state court. At the time, a conviction for a DUI (which was considered an “aggravated felony”) allowed for the deportation of an illegal alien. MORE
In an unrelated story, Justice Sonia Sotomayor just won an all-expense-paid trip to a Texas hunting resort! Congratulations, Sonia!
Why the hell did this reach The Supreme Court………….
If drunk driving is all it takes that should clear out about 75 percent of them.
It’s O.K. He can still vote.
I’ve been out of town all day, what happened, was I in an accident? This can’t be, the SCOTUS ruled in favor of actual Americans???
My question: WHO IS PAYING HIS LEGAL FEES???????
It’s all just the SCOTUS throwing the plebes a bone and trying to make amends so THEY, (SCOTUS), can look impartial.
Un-freakin’-believable! How on God’s green earth does that guy have “standing” before the SCOTUS when Americans with actual SCOTUS cases can’t get heard?! Oh, it makes me weep.
So it all came down to the decision of a Wise Latina?
Gosh. Can you even say “Wise Latina” these days?
