Here’s the thing: Once you give up the idea that we are all equal before the law and have the right to due process, you have given up the whole game. You have admitted the principle that some people have more rights than others. Once you have replaced the principle of equality before the law with the idea that some people have no rights, you have granted your approval to the idea of an authoritarian government. At that point, all you can do is to hope that the dictator and his henchmen overlook you.

Bukele has already returned migrants to the U.S. because they were from Central America or they were womenβ€”migrants the Trump admin had unilaterally declared as β€œcriminals.”

This is all a joke to them. It’s truly sick.

The majority seems to be affording the president a strong presumption of regulatory-assuming good faith and respect for constitutional boundaries. But everything this administration has done since Jan. 20 rebuts that presumption (a reality that may be dawning on Barrett, but apparently not Roberts or Brett Kavanaugh). As Boasberg has shown, and Sotomayor noted, the president invoked the Alien Enemies Act in secret so it could hustle
migrants overseas before courts could intervene. Why should he now receive this extraordinary, undeserved assistance to continue operating what is so obviously an unlawful program, with a pinky promise that he'll afford due process this time to those ensnared on the thinnest of pretenses? Roberts' decision to bail Trump out is a deeply ominous sign that the chief justice wants to rein in lower courts standing in the way of the MAGA agenda. If he does, it won't just be Venezuelan migrants who pay the price. J

I think the Supreme Court got the law badly wrong tonight. But beyond that, it’s just incredibly ominous that Roberts would throw Boasberg under the bus and hand Trump this big win when his administration has conducted this case in EXTREME bad faith from the start. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Trump has done the same damage to our health, environment and security as to our markets, it's just that there isn't a stock ticker that measures the impact so clearly

A good sign you’re in a cult is convincing yourself the only reason people would ever criticize your dear leader is if they are being paid to do so.

The White House admits they sent an innocent father of three to the prison in El Salvador but they are still fighting to make sure he doesn’t come home.
