I can’t believe I’m following this like the 2014 JayZ Solange elevator
Fricking 2025 fricking 1am SCOTUS of DC county b-roll Easter weekend hootenanny so that ICE doesn’t take ANOTHER 200 innocent people to a concentration camp in a foreign country without zero due process
I mean zero due process you know that thing in the Constitution that we copped from the Magna Carta which holds up our democracy
Yeah that due process that is the right of not just every citizen but every person
Yeah that due process
Right otherwise he could just take forever writing it. I feel like he was like “this will take a while” and they were like ok put it in later, and now perhaps because he didn’t get to delay with it who knows if it will ever come out
He still hasn’t released it? No wonder Roberts et al were not going to wait around. Deliberate stall attempt to allow Trump time to fly more people out?
Alito: Don’t publish until I write my dissent.
Roberts: How soon can you get it to us?
Alito: First thing Monday morning. Gotta celebrate my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Sotomayor: I just finished the order. Now I’m going to celebrate my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Roberts: hits publish.
And I won’t say he’s a reason for why I left the Catholic Church—no, actually I will say that. One of many reasons. Way too many Sam Alito’s in the Catholic Church hierarchy.
For a certain definition of Catholic. He's also dedicated to the upholding of the death penalty, for example, despite Catholic teachings on the subject.
There were other factors. The hostility to diversity. My local church seriously debating if they should have a private gym for parishioners. Covid litigation. The utter disregard for women’s health and for children. But Sam Alito didn’t make it more appealing.
Remember that preacher guy on late night tv, in the 90's, that spoke in Bible quotes, while his bleach blonde aging wife interjected throughout the spchiel?
This reads like that....
These two “injustices” have shown themselves to be the most corrupt seated on SCOTUS in American history with a BIASED agenda, bent on violating the Constitution to their warped views and benefactors. They consistently vote in a direct conflict of interest with the Constitution.
Maybe Thomas will include pictures in his dissent! Those are my favorite. Because someone’s constitutional rights should absolutely depend on images of their victim and a feel-good narrative about the victim’s son.
Alito & Thomas (& their clerks) could NOT possibly defend Trump/Admin actions regarding Due Process & the Requirement ALL legal residents should have a Hearing BEFORE a Judge to assess Deportability. If assessed as a criminal, that resident serves time in a US prison... THEN Deported
And then I remembered that when Gorsuch joined the Court, leaks were that Kagan in particular was exasperated that he couldn’t keep up with the workload. So, maybe she does have a burner.
I believe Alito is trying to figure what to plausibly write in his dissent. Likely will focus on process, desire to wait for the circuit court, briefing etc. What else does he have?
Alito's argument would have been amputated at the knees if Roberts had merely added: "This order is absolutely necessary to preserve the ability of the courts, at all levels, to consider the issues involved and provide fair & reasonable due process to all parties."
The problem with trying to step away from the news for a bit for one's wellbeing is that I then happen upon stuff like this with zero context amd end up going down rabbit holes reading the news again. 🤦♂️

The Church used to be out front on immigration. But then Cardinal Dolan was yukking it up with his bestie Trump at the Smith dinner. Disgusting.
The way pro-lifers valued some lives over others. The collective shrug at executions and injustice. The misogyny.

Hasty.
This reads like that....
My theory is, he's still miffed that when he ran his proposed flag up the flagpole, they not only wouldn't salute it, 7 of them tore it down.
Meanwhile the flight to El Salvador would leave making the whole thing moot. In their view.
And then I remembered that when Gorsuch joined the Court, leaks were that Kagan in particular was exasperated that he couldn’t keep up with the workload. So, maybe she does have a burner.
Any guesses as to her account name?
I’m thinking some random-generated one, sleepy_lizard1984
