‘Iguess I’m just wondering why that’s our problem.”
Chief Justice John Roberts was asking why the catastrophe at the southern border, which is clearly the nation’s problem, should be the Supreme Court’s problem. The catastrophe results from the hash the political branches have made of things. Since they caused the problem, and they alone have the wherewithal — if not the will — to address it, Roberts was grousing about the problem’s arrival at the doorstep of the judiciary, the branch least equipped to solve it.
