Supreme Court blew chance to erase legacy of law-breaking Kristi Noem: conservative
“The pungent odor of Kristi Noem lingers in Washington.”
Those are the opening words of longtime conservative columnist George Will, whose column in the Washington Post hammered the 6-3 Supreme Court majority for wrongly dismantling the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program depended upon by hundreds of thousands of immigrants.
According to Will, the conservative majority deliberately ignored overwhelming evidence that Kristi Noem’s actions were driven by racial “animus,” and therefore “violated the pertinent law.”
As he pointed out, within three days of the former Department of Homeland Security head terminating TPS for Haitians and Syrians, which led to the court case that made its way to the nation’s highest court, Noem publicly recommended “a full travel ban on every damn country that’s been flooding our nation with killers, leeches, and entitlement junkies” who “slaughter our heroes” and “suck dry our hard-earned tax dollars.”
He dryly added, “She [Noem] refrained from echoing Trump’s assertion about kitten-cooking Haitians in Springfield, Ohio. This marks her as a MAGA moderate. JD Vance spread the pet-eating fiction because he said creating ‘stories’ (his word) makes the media notice Americans’ suffering.”
“Surely justices are not required to ignore such rhetoric? And although thoughtful people disagree about whether, or how much, justices should consider the downstream consequences of their rulings,” he suggested.
Expressing his disappointment with the conservative-majority court, he offered, “Time and freshening breezes will cleanse Washington, dissipating the legacies of appointees like Noem, and of the president who chose them. The court’s mistaken ruling she provoked will be more lasting.”
