Now we get to watch Trump pointedly ignore TWO Supreme Court decisions! We better be careful. Three makes a constitutional crisis!
Victory, For now. Time will tell if the Fascists that occupy the executive branch will overtly undermine this ruling.
Oh boy here it comes. 8647 one day, another court ruling against him the next. I don’t expect a thorough conversation, I’m here for an epic weekend meltdown. Same for pee wee German Stephan Miller and his little dog MTG too.
rough day for Trump, small glimmer of hope for our Democracy.
One side of me said glad SCOTUS got this right, the other part of me says like trump is gonna fucking stop
1/ We all know which 2 dissented
2/ If I’m reading this right (and its very possible I’m not), then this is a big hand up to the immigrant group. Basically saying try again in the fifth circuit and if you don’t like that outcome then come to us.
3/ For anyone who’s getting their hopes *too* high, this isn’t them saying that deporting people using the Alien Enemies Act is unconstitutional (like this article title is hinting).
There are some interesting points to be seen, SC is highly responsible for enabling the corruption and lawlessness, but them being people and seemingly having some limits to their behaviour makes the institution partially resilient vs. the more practical filth that musk and trumps idiocy constitute.
There is some value to having systems that rely on people mixed with systems that depend on bureaucracy.
> The court did not rule on whether the Alien Enemies Act, which the Trump administration invoked in mid-April to deport the detainees, had been applied correctly.
> “To be clear, we decide today only that the detainees are entitled to more notice than was given on April 18,” their ruling said.
It’s *something*, but the ruling was pretty limited, given they didn’t address the overall use of the Alien Enemies Act.
Alright Trump! You know what to do now, go on truth social and rant about how the Supreme Court are radical leftists and somehow get on about Biden!
>The court did not rule on whether the Alien Enemies Act, which the Trump administration invoked in mid-April to deport the detainees, had been applied correctly.

At some point we’re going to have a post from him that ends mid-sentence as he strokes out from the stress of all his failures. There has to be a limit to how pissed off he can get before he pops, right?
Y’all will do nothing to stop him. He could be rotting in a cell right now
Oh, good, they didn’t even bother to decide whether the Alien Enemies Act was applied correctly. I fucking hate this timeline. Not as much as the detainees have hated theirs re deportation, but I still hate it.
Unsurprising about our regular two dissenters 🙄 but still good news! Not sure what parts of this will hold in a government as crazy as ours, but I’ll take any step in the right direction even if it’s small
With how much Trump has defied court orders like this over reaching power….one thinks what would’ve happened a couple years ago when Biden was handed a loss on the student loan thing and just ordered them forgiven anyways. The Republicans would be calling for his head. But here we are with Trump probably going to defy this order and both sides seemingly are just quiet because they’re scared. Spineless fucking cowards.

> the court said the Trump administration had not given the detainees enough time or adequate resources to challenge their deportations.
> “Under these circumstances, notice roughly 24 hours before removal, devoid of information about how to exercise due process rights to contest that removal, surely does not pass muster,” the ruling said.
That’s not exactly ruling against the whole thing, is it?
Here comes Stephen Miller to explain how this ruling means the opposite of what we’re seeing.
Who dissented?
Yep.
We’ve got deceased justices now weighing in?
““The Court characterizes the District Court’s behavior during the period in question as ‘inaction,’ but in my judgment, that is unfair,” wrote Alito in the dissent joined by Scalia.”
C’mon, CNBC. Do better.
Trump must go. Enough is enough.
“ the Supreme Court has made their decision, now let their army enforce it” -Andrew Jackson. People act like they’ve never been a president who ignored the Supreme Court before, their has definitely has been, and he was a genocidal maniac.
“but in my judgment, that is unfair,” wrote Alito in the dissent joined by Scalia.”
Somehow Scalia returned.
Funny typo in the article.
The 2 Justices who voted for, need to be removed from office, they’re 100% bought out.
Of course Alito and Thomas are dissenting. Of all the traitorous conservatives they’re the most fascist.
From the article…..
>“The Court characterizes the District Court’s behavior during the period in question as ‘inaction,’ but in my judgment, that is unfair,” wrote Alito in the dissent joined by Scalia.
ROFL.
Let me guess. 7 to 2. Am I right?
They keep moving the goal post. Apparently it’s not a constitutional crisis until Donald Trump himself starts waterboarding preschoolers with Holy Water after a few Supreme Court Justices say that it’s not entirely legal to do so.
Nazi’s do not follow the law. You can not rely on the Supreme Court to save you.
We need to gather at least 500 of you. We will peacefully drive slow in the neighborhoods of these politicians. You have every right to flood their neighborhood with traffic.
We only need 500. That is all, only 500 of us to peacefully surround a politicians house.
You will see laws start to favor those who hold the power.
ONLY 500 of us is needed.
They just flipped out over Comey’s 8647 post but then the President says to “intimidate the court.” So stupid.
The LEFT is trying to intimidate the court ?
The projection is painful
I don’t think Trump cares about SCOTUS or any judicial anything at this point.
He’s got immunity to everything he does.
He can pardon any federal offender.
There’s nothing that any federal court can do. This is why everybody threw a fit at the SCOTUS decision that unmoored the Executive from the Judicial.
The best you can hope for is a Congressional stop. Maybe. If Trump doesn’t order the army to just remove them from the process.
See the difference between Biden and Trump. Biden loves America. Trump loves Trump.
Good now we need to 8647.
Another L for Trump. No surprise.
Of course Alito and Thomas were the only two to dissent. I hope that they end up in prison someday but I won’t hold my breath
Lmao fox is busy with their crocodile tears over comey, not a peep about this or our credit downgrade. They make north korea state tv blush
7-2 decision.
I know who those two are without knowing anything else. Alito and Thomas are fucking disgraceful. It would balance the court if they passed away in office and a Democratic President replaced them.
It won’t be a constitutional crisis until it happens to rich people.
I did not expect this particular Supreme Court to be holding the last dangling thread of our democracy together, but here we are.
>7-2 decision
Absolutely no need to read further to know that it was Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito dissenting.
Thomas would probably rule in favor of going back to the 3/5 clause if he thought it would own the libs somehow, and Alito would go right along with it, because he’s a psycho right winger who hates the libs *and* Black people.
And of course Alito and Thomas were the dissenting opinions.
I asked ChatGPT to come up with an eloquent way to burn Trump-
Because quite frankly he is not worth my mental capacity anymore today but I want him and the world to know that..
“Donald Trump is less a leader and more a cautionary tale—an overinflated brand masquerading as a statesman, peddling grievance like snake oil to a nation already feverish with division. He is the echo of a gilded age that never truly glistened for anyone but himself, a man who mistakes attention for admiration, cruelty for strength, and blind loyalty for love. His legacy isn’t a tower but a crater—where truth, dignity, and democratic norms were dragged down by the gravitational pull of his ego. History will not remember him as a titan, but as a tantrum that lasted far too long.”
