I’m curious if Roberts genuinely thought that Trump would comply with his 9-0 decision. Because John Roberts’ level of credulity is going to determine a lot of outcomes in the very near future.

They’ll do it in a few high profile cases to set examples. People will say, “No way this holds up in court.” Maybe. But we now know the plan: they’ll do it first, then dare the courts to stop them. And this too will be very difficult for courts to undo. This is end of democracy stuff.

i have argued before that MAGA is recapitulating antebellum pro-slavery ideas about citizenship and bodily autonomy. one thing i am also thinking about, when it comes to the rendition of people to a foreign gulag, is the way it is reminiscent of the kidnapping of free blacks for sale into slavery

New York's famed Neue Galerie specializes in Austrian art. But conservatives say there's one famous Austrian artist whose work has been excluded from the museums's collection for purely political reasons.

The bond market can't be intimidated, corrupted, or coopted. It has no sentimental attachment to "norms." It is a remorseless, cold-blooded machine which measures risk. And unlike SCOTUS, Paul Weiss, and other institutions, it understands exactly what time it is. www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-fina...

If this was a 1970s conspiracy thriller, Abrego Garcia would simply disappear because then govt's legal problem goes away. But I'm sure that won't happen here.

Here’s a problem: The President’s negotiations with foreign heads of state are covered by executive privilege. So if Trump tells the court, “I tried but there’s nothing I can do,” there’s no way to review or verify what he actually did (if anything).

The problem with this ruling is the presumption of regularity. In any other administration, a remand with instructions to facilitate Abrego Garcia’s return would lead to honest representations about what is—and isn’t—possible. In this administration, there’s no reason to expect straight answers.

If Bukele decided to liquidate the inmates shipped to El Salvador by the US, is there anything in US law which could stop it? Would the US govt have an interest in stopping it? If not, then why couldn't the US outsource extra-legal killings to another country? www.thebulwark.com/p/concentrat...

US law is clear that America cannot put people in gulags indefinitely, without due process. US law is less clear on whether or not America can pay a foreign country to run a gulag system on its behalf. www.thebulwark.com/p/concentrat...
