I won’t go very deeply into this, as we’ve laid it out repeatedly here before — just search “Tipton” in the search box.

But… to the extent anything remains undecided (and still subject to Tipton’s trial court’s jurisdiction) on the Biden Administration’s September 2021 memo setting out how best to allocate scarce and discretionary resources at the southern border… it will all proceed as holdings of law, almost exclusively. That is so, because the parties have been ordered to stipulate by agreement to almost all the relevant facts. [And in this way, the Supremes will rule only on legal — not factual — questions, when/if they do address the merits.]

Here is the 43 page US Attorney General’s set of stipulated facts, and statements of uncontroverted federal laws and regulations and pronouncements.

As you may readily see, there is essentially no case or controversy left at Judge Tipton’s level. Appeals are pending in the Supremes, and the Fifth Circuit.

But on young Tipton presses, purporting to prepare for holding some sort of a mini-trial early in March… on who knows what(?!), really.

So — we note here that the entire proceeding is mired in so much political speechifying in his, and the Fifth Circuit’s chambers… that the boots on the ground are simply doing what they’ve always done — using discretion. A discretion Tangerine claimed to revoke, but never provided the funding to allow BoP or ICE to prosecute every minor violation that those agencies observed.

So — it is back to the more compassionate, no family splitting rules down there now.

That in spite of all of young Tipton’s silly rhetoric from the bench. He has neither the jurisdictional power, nor the resources to change federal funding in the way Texas, Missouri and Louisiana now ask.

What a tempest, in a tiny Texas tea pot. Knock yourself out Bruce Drew Tipton. I’ll just watch and grin, as you repeatedly now be-clown the Texas federal court system.

Out.
