A step in the right direction that will no doubt be criticized!

AG William Barr announces changes to immigration courts
The Justice Department proposed changes to the immigration court system Friday that would give more power to the agency’s political leadership.Under the new rules, the director of the Executive Office of Immigration Review would have the power to personally decide the longest-running cases. 
The interim rule would also limit the power of EOIR’s general counsel to influence immigration judges’ decisions, a department official said in previewing the new policy for reporters. 
EOIR is the agency that hears deportation cases from illegal immigrants nabbed in the interior of the U.S. 
It also rules on requests for asylum, which have surged in recent years as migrants have abused the process with bogus claims that, while usually rejected in the end, still allow them to be released into the U.S. while their cases are pending, giving them a chance to disappear into the shadows.

Bottom line, the concept here is to make sure that the immigration court move a quickly as possible and come to more generic decisions regarding the status of those who are either being deported or asking for asylum. There seems to be some sort of idea that the longer people can muck up the court system, the more likely it is that the government will be forced to release illegals into the public. Once released, it's almost impossible to get them removed, even if the courts rule against them and deny their asylum request.

What it the point of having an immigration court that rules on asylum, if you are simply wanting them to be allowed to stay regardless of the decision by the court? The state should be in a position to deport those who are denied, while allowing those who are accepted to be made a legal member of our society. That seems pretty obvious, and little more than common sense. Too bad, that obvious common sense concept is lost on many people.

it's not some sort of an idea, it's reality.

liberals use the courts to fuck with and fuck up EVERYTHING.

so you won't bake me a cake or let me rent your barn for my gay wedding?

let's go to court.

want to build a new nuke plant?

the sierra club and the rest of the enviro-whack-jobs will see you in court. same with new oil refineries.

it's exactly why the makeup of the USSC is so critical to them.

RBG is probably worm food by christmas. or soon thereafter. so ultimately trump gets another pick. and if you thought the kavanaugh shitshow was the ultimate in liberal political terrorism you are sadly mistaken.

amy coney barrett is probably looking at the RBG situation and wondering just exactly how fucking evil the left intends to get to destroy her.

Ginsburg will be around, if they have to play weekend at Bernies with her. I don't see her going anywhere anytime soon. Not unless this cancer comes right back in a few weeks.

But if Trump is reelected, then I might expect Ginsburg to step down. At 86, she is simply not going to get any better. I guess it depends on the Senate. But make no mistake, I think this is Ginsburg seriously looking at who will replace her as a reason why she is still around.

If they could, the liberals would mummified her and prop her up on the Dias to keep the seat.

I think Rat is more right about Ginsberg. It's not the first time her office officiated her real condition and the chances of surviving pancreatic cancer is not all that good.

As far as the changes to the immigration courts are concerned, you just know the ACLU is going to sue on lack of due process and they will probably win.

They may win at some district court level, but not on appeal.
