The Real ID Act, passed by a 261-161 margin in February, states: “[T]he Secretary of Homeland Security shall have the authority to waive, and shall waive, all laws such Secretary, in such Secretary’s sole discretion, determines necessary to ensure expeditious construction” of barriers and roads in the vicinity of the border.
All laws?I mean, this is an muthagrabbin’ Act of Congress. And last time I checked, words mattered (to everyone but liberal judges, I suppose). Could Michael Chertoff murder twenty thousand border-jumpers and build a fence with their bones? Could he force America’s obese to march to the border, link hands, and play Red Rover with wave after wave of Mexicans? Could he show his tit at the Super Bowl if he demonstrated it would help his cause?
