Border control is literally federal jurisdiction. It's weird that they didn't just say that.

5-4 vote, I wonder what the four's reasoning was.

Partisanship. pure and simple.

the five voted- appropriately- as the supremacy clause has already answered the question.

Just read the decision form the court below.

No one provided any explantion for their vote.

This story is about the Supreme Court's en banc decision on the application for certiorari, on appeal from the court below which I believe was the Fifth Circuit. The Fifth Circuit tossed the district court's order finding in favor of Texas. The denial of certiorari is the explanation, it means they agree with the reasoning and analysis of the Fifth Circuit. It's very rare for a denial of certiorari to have any commentary.
