In an overnight ruling blocking the Trump administration from deporting a group of Venezuelans, the justices ignored some of their protocols.
There are sculptures of tortoises scattered around the Supreme Court grounds. They symbolize, the court’s website says, “the slow and steady pace of justice.”
But the court can move fast when it wants to, busting through protocols and conventions. It did so around 1 a.m. on Saturday, blocking the Trump administration from deporting a group of Venezuelan migrants accused of being gang members under a rarely invoked 18th-century wartime law.
The court’s unsigned, one-paragraph order was extraordinary in many ways. Perhaps most important, it indicated a deep skepticism about whether the administration could be trusted to live up to the key part of an earlier ruling after the government had deported a different group of migrants to a prison in El Salvador.
That unsigned and apparently unanimous ruling, issued April 7, said that detainees were entitled to be notified if the government intended to deport them under the law, “within a reasonable time,” and in a way that would allow the deportees to challenge the move in court before their removal.
There were indications late Friday that the administration was poised to violate both the spirit and letter of that ruling. Lawyers for the detainees said their clients were given notices that they were eligible to be deported under the law, the Alien Enemies Act. The notices were written in English, a language many of them do not speak, the lawyers said. And they provided no realistic opportunity to go to court.
The American Civil Liberties Union, racing against the clock, filed its emergency application to the Supreme Court on Friday evening — Good Friday, as it happened — and urged the...

NOW?
Oh, we didn’t “deport” them. We just sent them on an all expenses paid vacation.
(to El Salvador)
Built for speed.... Yeah, instead of built for wisdom.
Of course.
The law’s only purpose is to hamstring republicans.
It doesn’t apply to democrats
It’s all a huge pile of shit.
Lies. Lies. Lies.
Kabuki theater.
Smoke and mirrors.
There is no justice.
There is no rule of law.
There is no legal recourse remaining.
There is no peaceful way to solve this.
As one of my favorite Presidents, Andrew Jackson, said, roughly, the judge made their decision, now let’s see them enforce it.
So if we have a mass invasion of illegals and the constitution requires the government defend against that invasion and the Supreme Court is complicit in that invasion what is the President to do? What does Chief and Miss Squishes think the Constitution requires of the President to ensure the highest law of the land - the Constitutional defense of the United States.
I don’t think so. She is in church on Easter eve.
Scorched earth .. deport some Justices.
Built for speed because they are COMPROMISED.
Obviously, something or someone lit a fire under their butts.
These people are either being paid or blackmailed.
It’s becoming very apparent.
From 1903:
THE JAPANESE IMMIGRANT CASE.
An administrative officer, when executing the provisions of a statute involving the liberty of persons, may not disregard the fundamental principles of due process of law as understood at the time of the adoption of the Constitution. Nor is it competent for any executive officer, at any time within the year limited by the statute, to arbitrarily cause an alien who has entered the country, and has become subject in all respects to its jurisdiction, and a part of its population, although illegally here, to be arrested and deported without giving such alien an opportunity, appropriate to the case, to be heard upon the questions involving his right to be and remain in the United States.

Trump knows what to do.
RE: The American Civil Liberties Union....
Just heard the author Timothy S. Goeglein of Stumbling Toward Utopia: How the 1960s Turned Into a National Nightmare and How We Can Revive the American Dream interviewed.
Reminded us that the ACLU was set up by American Communists who worked with Saul Alinsky to undermine the American Way of Life.
Commie Barrett needs to be sent to a Cuban prison for a week, incognito. They would learn this rotten traitor a lesson reee...al fast.
Since Pedo Joe was never actually in command, but rather the executive branch was being run by a cabal of unelected communists, all XOs and bills signed by the auto-pen should be considered null and void.
Why not include all the nominations (Supreme Court) made by the auto-pen in chief?
More like protecting criminals.
Given court insistence on so-called “due process”, Congress needs to require each alien here for over 180 days and not on properly on a valid visa to retain a lawyer with alien law skill with the contract stipulation that the lawyer will zealously represent the alien at any removal proceeding without government payment or set up a removal proceeding representation trust fund into which the alien is to place at least $200 monthly, subject to removal or voluntary departure, or at the government’s option a $10,000 fine or one year of incarceration for the alien’s failure to do so.
The black-robed tyrants are always going to want to have the final say, and for that the aliens should pay.
Trump needs to go to Capitol Hill, look the Republican leaders in the face, and ask for help on removal, DOGE access, and tariffs.
She’s a fake..
So?
