Summary
It would be a good idea to tread a little lightly with the whistle blower account of Hunter Biden because he hits a little too on the nose.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Eric Erickson Show podcast, Hour One. |
| 0:12.7 | It's an open line Friday. Welcome. It's Eric Erickson here across the nation. The phone lines are open. 877977-37-3-7-4-25. |
| 0:22.6 | As always, text Eric, E-R-I-C-K to 33-7-77. |
| 0:27.6 | If you want to find me on social media, get the podcast, the live stream, the show notes, whatever. |
| 0:33.6 | Remember, if you do text Eric to 33777, we send on an email about the time the show |
| 0:38.1 | starts, all the stuff I'm talking about on the show. You can read for yourself and you don't |
| 0:43.5 | have to tell you what to think. You can think for yourself. Now, before we get to the Hunter Biden stuff, |
| 0:48.9 | there is breaking news. I do want to cover very briefly the breaking news. The U.S. Supreme Court in the case of |
| 0:56.5 | the United States v. Texas today has sided with the Biden administration against Texas and Louisiana. |
| 1:03.2 | Those two states petitioned the court to force the Biden administration to enforce border |

| 1:12.7 | Now, this is a little nuanced here, so follow along with me. |
| 1:17.5 | Eight of the nine Supreme Court justices voted to throw the case out. |

| 1:35.3 | So it was eight to one in outcome and five to four in rationality. |
| 1:41.3 | Either way, though, whichever rationale you got, essentially what the court said is that the states cannot force the president of the United States to implement congressional law the way the states think. That is for the president at the federal level to implement. |
| 2:03.6 | The states are not the federal government and therefore cannot tell the president which standard |
| 2:09.2 | of enforcement he should use. Now, this is bad at the level of the border. However, it's a fairly good restraint overall. Essentially, what the court |
| 2:21.7 | determined, 8 to 1, is that the Supreme Court does not have the power to compel the President |
| 2:29.1 | of the United States to use a different standard of enactment of laws than what the President deems |
| 2:37.0 | because the President is the executive and they are the judicial. All they can do is decide |
