Interesting decision from SCOTUS on this case.  I love the slap down to bureaucracy.

 

Unusual Supreme Court vote rules illegal immigrant can avoid deportation on technicality

 

The Supreme Court on Thursday ruled in favor of an illegal immigrant who was facing deportation, stating that they are entitled to discretionary relief because the government did not follow the rules.

Federal law says that an illegal immigrant in such a situation can avoid deportation at the attorney general's discretion if they have been in the U.S. for at least 10 years. The clock officially stops when they receive "a notice to appear" with information about their hearing. But in cases like plaintiff Agusto Niz-Chavez's, the government sent multiple documents containing different pieces of information. The court's majority ruled that because the law says "a" notice, that means it must be a single document.

Wow -- but words mean things.

My secondary school motto was "Use Common Sense." I do not know which wise person came up with it, but this is what I always use to govern my action everyday.

I fail to understand American laws sometimes eg. a thief whose life you spared can get an attorney to sue you for injury he incurred when you spared his life by tripping him. A whole learned attorney will take this case and defend it.  

 

That being said, I just live my life by the motto above 😁.

In a few years to come, nothing or even the law will not make sense anymore as anyone can take it and interpret it they way they want, instead of what it literary means e.g literary speaking, a thief is anyone who breaks/ walks into your home. However, a thief will defend himself and say he just walked in, was still scouting the place and had not yet left your front door with any property. As such, the term "thief" does not apply to him. He should be called a "wanderer." Basically, we should just let him come in, walk around while we monitor and only confront him when he attempts to pass your front door with your utensils.

The USA sure likes to give long term illegal aliens protection.  I have a buddy who came here about 17 years ago and brought like 7 kids with him, he was even able to get a Social Security number back then.  All his kids are DACA.
