Yeah, you're right Tibsy.
Why do Liberals suddenly want to get into the military?
(I know, to get their sex change operations paid for.)
(i) states how their respective agencies are complying with 8 U.S.C. 1611(a), which provides that an alien who is not a “qualified alien” as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1641 is, subject to certain statutorily defined exceptions, not eligible for any Federal public benefit as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1611(c);

Justice Neil Gorsuch provided the decisive vote Tuesday in a Supreme Court ruling striking down a key provision that made it easier to deport immigrants convicted of violent crimes, in a blow to the Trump administration.
President Trump's Supreme Court pick has largely sided with the conservative members of the bench since his appointment, but sided with the liberal wing on Tuesday.
The court said the part of the law in question is too vague to be enforced.
The court's 5-4 decision concerns a provision of federal immigration law that defines a "crime of violence." Conviction for a crime of violence subjects an immigrant to deportation and usually speeds up the process.
A federal appeals court in San Francisco previously struck down the provision as too vague, and on Monday the Supreme Court agreed. The appeals court based its ruling on a 2015 Supreme Court decision that struck down a similarly worded part of another federal law that imposes longer prison sentences on repeat criminals.
Justice Elena Kagan wrote that the 2015 decision "tells us how to resolve this case."
The decision is a loss for Trump's administration which, like President Barack Obama's administration before it, had defended the provision at issue before the Supreme Court. And it comes amid an ongoing focus on immigration by Trump.
Maybe adding Gorsuch to the Supreme Court wasn't a bad thing after all. If he continues like this, I'll concede Trump nominating him can be listed as a rare accomplishment for the President. Of course we'll have to wait and see if this was a one-time moment of clarity for Gorsuch or the start of something big, namely that he won't rubber stamp Trump's misguided and half-baked policies.
Gorsuch votes with liberal wing of court to nix immigrant deportation rule

For the record, Scalia didn't like this law for the same reasons.
And don't interpret ruling against this case was left-leaning. If anything, Gorsuch's dissent was done because he's a HARD right-leaning justice for right-leaning reasons. Just because in this case it overlapped with the left-leaning justices (who voted against it for liberal reasons), doesn't make Gorsuch all of a sudden liberal. Just free thinking (which further proves what a good selection he is).
It's over! more winning! Rosenstein assured Trump he is not a target of any part of Mueller probe
Rudy G can help. He knows the people out to get Trump, and is a media star, meaning news media channels struggling for ratings might actually give him air time.
Hopefully its a stepping stone to AG. He should've had that position from the start. Sessions sucks.
