One problem with the idea of reserving due process for law-abiding people is that due process is how we figure out which people are law-abiding.

It seems like when you write a decision giving the President king-like powers, you shouldn't be indignant when he acts like a king.

Amazing. Trump had everyone on blast about his big date and then Putin kept him waiting for an hour before the call could start? It's always worse than I expect.

Some realpolitik: I would like Judge Boasberg to drop every possible hammer on DOJ. I just note for the record that the more aggressive he is, the more likely some kind of stay is from a higher court. It's a difficult to navigate balance.

It's way down the list and pales in comparison to the same issue w/ Musk, but worth noting amidst all the other constitutional breakdowns going on: Homan is not in legally charge of anything and has not been appointed to any Senate-confirmed office. He's another "advisor" being given unlawful power.

If the Supreme Court ultimately agrees with what the gov't is arguing today, that the President has broad Article II powers that would permit it to deport people & there can be no judicial review, then literally no one is safe.

It's not really even relevant because of the nature of the order and who it was actually directed to, but this idea that a US aircraft somehow leaves the jurisdiction of US law when it's not over US territory is absurd and this is well-established in many contexts by both treaties and statutes.

When ICE Administrator Homan says "We're not stopping. I don't care what the judges think." - that is exactly the evidence that I would want if I were bringing a contempt motion against him. The contempt is clear. I do not know what the court's response will be - and there are only bad choices.

By their definition, any notable accomplishment achieved by someone who was not a straight white male -- no matter how or when it happened -- counts as "DEI" and "bias against whites." It's racism, pure and simple. Stop pretending there's anything more complicated at work here. It's racism.

"It’s the principle that Democrats are wholly unwilling to fight on the same playing field as Republicans. It’s that we seem forever doomed to be the party that allows the parliamentarian to shut down our entire agenda, while the Republicans won’t even let the US Constitution shut down theirs."

A federal court’s jurisdiction does not stop at the water’s edge. The question is whether the defendants are subject to the court order, not where the conduct being challenged takes place. Were it otherwise, the government could act lawlessly overseas and courts would be powerless to stop it.

🚨BREAKING: It seems very clear that the Administration decided not to abide by the court's order. The question now is what will the judge do. Does he proceed with contempt or something short of that to defuse. Upping the stakes is the fact that the AG and her senior staff signed this notice.

Courts may not have armies to enforce their orders but they do have other tools at their disposal. That means we’re inevitably headed, whether it’s in this case or another, between a POTUS who has rejected the rule of law & a judge charged with enforcing it.
