Even by the measure this Court loves the most —the absurd “history and tradition” doctrine — the decision in Mullin v Al Otro Lado makes no sense at all.
America’s “history and tradition” had been to enable those persecuted elsewhere to find shelter and a new home here. We even have a really big statue in NY harbor underscoring that point.
THAT is what we mean by “the American dream”. We are here because your ancestors and mine found refuge on our shores and, through hard work, made their lives and ours better than could ever have been the case where they came from.
THAT, honorable justices, is our “history and tradition”. This xenophobic and misguided decision sends the country in a new and horrifying direction.
I weep for the dream of America that died this week.
