The same instinct is already reshaping lives on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, where I work. Days earlier, the Court cleared the way to end Temporary Protected Status while narrowing the power of judges to review that decision at all. Notice the pattern: narrow who is allowed to belong, then shield the government from having to answer for it. When the courts step back, the Constitution's other guardians are meant to step forward. Equal protection, due process, and citizenship grew stronger precisely because courts recognized that the principle outlives the injustice that produced it.
