President Ronald Reagan famously said:
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”
When I wrote recently that the Roberts Court appears to be restoring the constitutional boundaries between Congress, the President, and the federal courts, I had no idea that only days later the Supreme Court would decide a case that answered a constitutional question I had personally wrestled with thirty-five years ago.
This week’s decision overruling Humphrey’s Executor is being reported as another dispute over presidential power. I see it differently. I see it as the Supreme Court finally resolving a constitutional argument that took place inside the George H. W. Bush Administration in 1991.
Updated: This week, three Cuban nationals were apprehended by federal agents following Secretary Rubio’s termination of their legal status. Carlos Antonio Lloga Dominguez – who spent more than a decade working as a foreign subversive for the Communist Cuban regime’s premier influence and intelligence front group in the United States – and his wife and son are now in federal custody pending removal from our country.
Lloga Dominguez spent more than a decade employed by the Cuban Institute of Friendship with the People (ICAP). He has continued to maintain ties to the transnational communist subversion network throughout his time residing in our nation according to a release from the U.S. Department of State.
Analysis: Something much bigger than immigration is happening at the Supreme Court, and I don’t think most Americans have noticed it yet. The Roberts Court isn’t just deciding controversial cases. It may be quietly redefining how the federal government itself is supposed to work.
Over the last week, the Supreme Court decided three important immigration cases. As usual, the news media immediately divided into two camps. One side said the Court was anti-immigrant. The other side said it was simply enforcing the law.
I think both sides are missing something much bigger.
In the wake of the devastating earthquakes that struck north-central Venezuela on June 24, the Trump Administration mounted a swift, comprehensive, and whole-of-government response to save lives and deliver urgently needed relief to the Venezuelan people.
This State Department led response is also harnessing the power of American innovation by partnering with leading private companies and non-governmental organizations to increase the speed and expand reach of relief efforts, bringing the full strength of the U.S. private sector to bear alongside our government response. In a release this morning, the Department of State declared a national commitment to sustaining this response and ensuring that the Venezuelan people receive the full measure of American support as they work to recover from this tragedy.
