The DOJ should be embarrassed they floated the legal argument.

overunderclover.bsky.social•4 days ago

I am so worried about any judge additions.

@judiciarydems.senate.gov you must NOT confirm any judges beholden to Trump

banalhemorrhage.bsky.social•4 days ago

There will always be a one. Always. The hope is that they are outnumbered in every room there in.

dramaticowl.bsky.social•4 days ago

Of course Walker dissented

sheshe66.bsky.social•4 days ago

Thank goodness for the judiciary branch of government!

satantrump.bsky.social•4 days ago

Yes, this is awesome now are they gonna bring them back since they already deported them and disobeyed the order to begin with?!

obearwan-kenobi.bsky.social•4 days ago

Don't hold your breath. We can't even get them to rehire the federal employees as the judge ordered.

satantrump.bsky.social•4 days ago

Yet! they aren’t done with him yet! He’ll end up having a bunch of his cabinet members in prison!

vivshere.bsky.social•4 days ago

I’m gonna guess Walker was the dissenter

frankriveramar1.bsky.social•4 days ago

Attack on judges round 2, stay tuned…

usmarine.bsky.social•3 days ago

Was Judge Walker the white male?

epbwrisci.bsky.social•4 days ago

Was there any sensible bit in the dissent?

vivian-m-lumbard.bsky.social•4 days ago

I'm not sure how anyone can file for a habeas petition if they're not even in the flippin' country and were denied due process to begin with. The logic is not sound.

lynn0908.bsky.social•4 days ago

Apparently walker thought the el Salvadoran prison was going to let them contact an attorney. 😏These people will be lucky to survive a few weeks. They have zero rights in this concentration camp.

kenparkerlaw.bsky.social•4 days ago

Two takeaways: (1) DOJ will seek immediate review by the Supreme Court and (2) Walker's dissent is his job application for a seat on the Supreme Court.

kenparkerlaw.bsky.social•2 days ago

Shame on the one judge who disagreed. Impeach him!

I do declare. I'm so shocked and surprised. That kid looks like he should be doing a charity car wash for his fraternity.

m2l3.bsky.social•4 days ago

I’m sure this will be appealed in the Supreme Court

jvsylvester.bsky.social•4 days ago

And methinks they'll take it. Rare to get review at that level on a Temporary Restraing order, but it can happen.

terrlyn.bsky.social•4 days ago

I don't believe there will be ANY case involving this regime that will not be appealed to the SC.

eric1990s.bsky.social•4 days ago

A LOT of cases in presidential administrations end up going to SCOTUS.

eric1990s.bsky.social•4 days ago

Eisenhower (I think) and especially FDR had to appeal a lot of times to the Supreme Court, so Trump's really no different despite his malicious intent.

mathandstuff.bsky.social•4 days ago

I would disagree that Trump is 'really no different'. The nature of his litigation is to undermine the authority of the courts unless they agree with him. That goes well beyond the prior practice of arguing about interpretations of the law or the Constitution.

eric1990s.bsky.social•4 days ago

Correct in that sense. However what I've looked up is that presidents have occasionally appealed to the supreme court over executive orders.

With Trump, if his administration gets held in contempt (i.e. cabinet members) it could shut him up. MAYBE.

smithjohnny.bsky.social•4 days ago

When you govern by EOs. You are bound to lose cases. Just consider his last EO on elections. The President has no say in how states conducts elections.

libertyview.bsky.social•4 days ago

I didn't read all of Walker's dissent, but I'm a bit troubled by the logic of it. I fear Walker doesn't understand the enormity of what the Trump Administration has done with these extrajudicial confinements outside of US jurisdiction.

lynn0908.bsky.social•4 days ago

He knows. He just doesn’t care. He’s a trump appointed judge….

libertyview.bsky.social•4 days ago

When are the contempt rulings!? When do a few Administration officials get to sit in jail until their deportees (kidnap victims) are returned to US jurisdiction?

bullwinkles.bsky.social•4 days ago

Walker, Trump toady who wants to be on the Supreme Court.

spicydanny123.bsky.social•4 days ago

What does this mean?

lastunicornfan.bsky.social•4 days ago

Let’s remember Judge Walker. Let no one forget every judge who betrays their training and oath of office for Trump.

93 pages to say "Rejected"

djvanness.bsky.social•4 days ago

71 pages to say "rejected: - 22 pages of dissent from Walker.

mrblifil.bsky.social•4 days ago

Always helpful when judges signal in advance their whole-hearted embrace of fascism.

nedluddphd.bsky.social•4 days ago

Should Walker not just resign at this point? His line of questioning was an absolute mess.

stetlerb.bsky.social•4 days ago

Walker was also rated as “not qualified” by the ABA.

desertmage65.bsky.social•3 days ago

He’s qualified by the AHA, Adolf Hitler Association.

patricesey.bsky.social•4 days ago

So Judge Walker is a hater racist.

montanabeef.bsky.social•4 days ago

Walker was appointed by Trump

smullins3000.bsky.social•4 days ago

We'll probably find out later that this Judge Walker is a pedophile. The GOP likes nominating pedophiles.

patricesey.bsky.social•3 days ago

They do indeed.

bdemayo.bsky.social•4 days ago

Pissing off the judges was a bad play Donnie.

mathandstuff.bsky.social•4 days ago

The dissent opinion is depressing. Looks like Judge Walker just copied and pasted the Trump position. Fails to address any of the majority's arguments.

flytyingguy.bsky.social•4 days ago

This should have been an easy 3-0 ruling. Judge Walker is a threat to democracy quite obviously.

pjmacwriter.bsky.social•4 days ago

Judge Walker is another Trump Turd.

fellaneil.bsky.social•4 days ago

MAGA will continue to push until they get there way. That’s how a fascist regime works

tripperday.bsky.social•4 days ago

That was kind of toss up w those judges acc H. Littman. 👏👏👏

kyledcheney.bsky.social•4 days ago

Judge Millett (Obama) is focused more on due process and the failure to afford any to the people Trump claimed were members of Tren de Aragua. https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cadc.41845/gov.uscourts.cadc.41845.01208724047.0.pdf

the-old-dog.bsky.social•4 days ago

As well he/she should be

anthony60202.bsky.social•3 days ago

Can we stop reporting on who appointed the judge?! Doesn’t that just play into the fascists hands by allowing them to claim the rulings are partisan?

chasmat.bsky.social•3 days ago

GHW Bush was actually a Republican, like Trump

anthony60202.bsky.social•3 days ago

My point is that these judges are independent but saying who appointed them makes it seem like they aren’t.

chasmat.bsky.social•3 days ago

Mixed on district courts, strongly disagree for the federal appellate courts and especially the DC Circuit. They were appointed partly for their partisan allegiance going back at least 25 years.

akajuhlz.bsky.social•3 days ago

There's no "important national interest at stake." It's a ginned-up crisis with no basis for exigency. It's a fuckin' GOP election slogan.

kyledcheney.bsky.social•4 days ago

Judge Henderson (GHW Bush appointee) bases her ruling almost entirely on determination that Trump failed to justify claim of "invasion" or "predatory incursion." https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cadc.41845/gov.uscourts.cadc.41845.01208724047.0.pdf

rosegardenerwi.bsky.social•4 days ago

The judge knows how to bring down a gavel.💥

kyledcheney.bsky.social•4 days ago

Judge Walker (Trump) argued that the migrants could have sued in Texas and that the Trump administration had persuasively argued the intervention by the courts had jeopardized sensitive foreign policy negotiations. https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cadc.41845/gov.uscourts.cadc.41845.01208724047.0.pdf

leaddreamer.bsky.social•4 days ago

"I can't say what exactly was jeopardized or when or if or in what way, but by heck and by golly I just KNOW it."

icenineninja.bsky.social•3 days ago

To Walker’s defense, it’s helpful to air out the kraykrazee and remind Americans how Alito-Thomas probably machinate.

The potus proclamation is not judicially reviewable…WoW!

I’m guessing SCOTUS eventually denies cert and awaits a case botched by 5th Circuit (“ghost guns aren’t firearms” LOL).

mrgrumpeepantz.bsky.social•4 days ago

As I understood it, it would have been impossible for a migrant to obtain legal advice and initiate a suit given the time available.

texaskrusty.bsky.social•4 days ago

We need to win massive majorities and impeach these fucking clown judges.

How that happens in our polarized and gerrymandered world, I don’t know.

Probably the same way we passed the reconstruction amendments. Victory in a violent civil war and exclusion of confederates.

juliansmunoz.bsky.social•4 days ago

this, from the dissent, blew my mind

justinholbrook.bsky.social•4 days ago

My quick take:

Loved Henderson’s latin and statutory originalism, loved Millett’s take-down of the unified executive theory, and thought Walker was sorta mailing it in as a home team favor.

Tying thenselves into🪢

edtechris.bsky.social•3 days ago

Walker’s dissent is the most blatantly protofascist legal reasoning I have seen from a federal appeals judge: the gov’t as good as admitted they would scoop people up and have them in El Salvador within hours w/out chance to submit habeas app, and Walker’s response is “woopsie”.

odiehughmanatee.bsky.social•3 days ago

"Migrants could have sued in Texas"...lol! No. Texas is the last place anyone wants to be when their rights are under attack by the government.

Texas is one of those shithole states when it comes to rights.

mattchamberlain42.bsky.social•4 days ago

Walkers dissent appears to be “wrong type of petition in the wrong location” how asinine do you have to get?

mattchamberlain42.bsky.social•4 days ago

By that i mean Walker.

lynn0908.bsky.social•4 days ago

He argued that DC wasn’t the right place. That it should have been brought in Texas. Even though both the DOJ and whoever the one suing both said they couldn’t confirm what states the people removed were actually from. It was complete BS.

mattchamberlain42.bsky.social•3 days ago

That was my take as well. He’s trying to dissent in ways that won’t completely embarrass him on review. Plausible deniability type maneuver.

grams2.bsky.social•1 day ago

How can a judge in good conscience decent? Aren’t they following the same laws not politics? Appeasing Trump is a waste of time. He will turn on you when he can no longer use you. Wake up MAGA! Wake up Congress! People are sick and tired of being sick and tired. Three months in, Trump destruction!

mmeclavine.bsky.social•4 days ago

I'm genuinely shocked but wonderful news

thegreymouser.bsky.social•3 days ago

Walker must be removed from the Federal bench.

scohoe.bsky.social•4 days ago

Every time I google a judge when I think "how could anyone opine like that?", there is always something similar to this.

tompaine1776.bsky.social•4 days ago

More egg on face for Trump when they find through due process that some innocent people were kidnapped and sent to a prison in a non-affiliated country.

Charge the criminals. Deport undocumented without legal authority to stay here people.

But hooded kidnappings off the street are UNACCEPTABLE.
