As Mark says, don't read too much into the stay. But this is sort of it. If SCOTUS agrees the government can disappear you to a Salvadorian labor camp, and there's no legal recourse even if you're innocent because of Article II, then none of your other rights mean a damn thing.

Watch for them to rule for trump so he can't bring the guy back due to being natl security issue
They probably want to silence him in some way...like negotiating with him the terms of his release prior to?
Regardless, IMO, he is in danger & every hour matters.
Who's next?
Know what Im saying?
For everyone's sake, I hope the SC rules quickly. This is untenable. And if it can happen to him, it can happen to anyone.
However I have recently learned not to be optimistic.
If the facts that I am being tortured, and that I am innocent, have been plausibly established in lower courts; and then the Supreme Court allows that torture to continue for days longer while they mull my case--
Then the Bill of Rights is simply a bullshit document.
On the grounds that if it IS constitutional, then the government can always send me back to being tortured to make up for the lost time torturing me, and if it ISNT, those extra days of torture cannot be undone.
