This right here, this Supreme Court decision, is a shameful gut punch to the rule of law, plain and simple.
They just let Trump use a dusty old law from 1798, the Alien Enemies Act, meant for wartime enemies of the state, to toss people out of the country without so much as a hearing.

It’s guilt by rumor, portrayed as executive power, signed off by five justices who couldn’t be bothered to ask if the law even applies here.
Sotomayor, Kagan, Barrett, and Jackson saw it for what it is, a dangerous stretch of power. But the majority looked the other way.
This is just how it starts. They’ll blow past this milestone in a week…
holy. fuck.
