It's Tuesday, January 23rd, 2024. The Supreme Court's supremely bad opinion, terrible news from the Middle East,

and my thoughts on the GOP primary being officially over. Next on the AM update.

The Supreme Court ruled Monday that the federal government can remove razor wire erected on the U.S.-Mexico border by Texas law enforcement, which the government argued illegally prevented them from managing the border.

The five-war decision vacated an appeals court ruling last month that allowed the wire to stay amid a continued legal standoff over border

jurisdiction. Chief Justice John Roberts led the majority alongside justices Sonia Sotomayor,

Elina Kagan, Kentonji Brown Jackson, all leftists, and Amy Coney Barrett with the remaining

justices in dissent. The conflict over the border escalated, as I told you about earlier this

month, when the Texas National Guard and the Texas Department of Public Safety erected fences

and razor wire in a Riverside Park in Eagle Pass, Texas, an illegal crossing hotspot.

The state law enforcement prevented U.S. Border Patrol officials from accessing the park, which also contains the

region's main boat ramp. Of course, the way forward from here is for the state of Texas to

ignore the Supreme Court's opinion, which they can't enforce, of course, and continue to do the right

thing and ignore the Justice Department and the Biden administration. How obvious is it that what's happening on the southern

border is an invasion? Here's Pennsylvania's Democrat Senator John Federman, once again defying his

own party. I honestly don't understand why it's controversial to say we need a secure border.

I've been very clear. In fact,

that was weaponized against me as Republicans in my race that I'm very much a strong supporter of immigration. And my wife's family, that's Oregon story about that. And I think two things can be

true at the same time. You can be very supportive

immigration, but we also need to have a secure border. Meanwhile, at the White House, here's

press secretary, Corrine Jean-Pierre. Biden admitted Friday that the border isn't secure. Does he have

any plans to visit the southern border before the election? The president visited the border recently.

In January.
