Yes, all the justices agree the Maryland father should be returned to the US, but the Supreme Court shouldn't have intervened in the first place. That may have been what took so long to get a ruling.
The conservative justices on the Roberts SCOTUS are always gonna put their thumbs on the scales of justice for this regime and its rich patrons versus the average person. That's what they were groomed and selected to do by conservative foundations and the Senators that voted to appoint them. I will always shocked when they actually speedily address cases that involve preserving the rights of average people... Wait. Have they ever done that?
The radical six are far from "conservative". We need to stop gracing their names with such a sobriquet. They are radical far-right activists. Conservatives don't look for reasons to blowup stare decisis using the shadow docket.
Yeah. However, consider how appropriate the term is at describing the way that their decisions conserve power in a handful of privileged people and corporations. Are they trying to save their diminishing demographic from extinction like nature conservationists try to save endangered species? Are they expecting average citizens to behave like frightened prey while "conservatives" behave like invasive predators? It doesn't matter what labels are attached to the Roberts SCOTUS because their actions show that they only want to conserve power for themselves and their wealthy patrons.
This from Joyce Vance today: “Later that day, Aaron Rupar tweeted a video of Attorney General Pam Bondi trying to duck questions about whether the people who have been deported so far are violent criminals. She was asked whether the reporting by 60 Minutes, that 75% of the migrants who were sent to El Salvador did not have criminal records, was true. Her response: “They're not Venezuelan migrants. They're illegal aliens from Venezuela who should not have been in our country.” The reporter quickly followed up, “So you're confirming they didn't commit a crime?” Bondi’s response was to walk away.
No one, let alone the attorney general of the United States, walks away from that question if the answer is that 60 Minutes got it wrong. Her conduct confirms that the government is not acting in good faith when it comes to these deportations. She acts as if these people, human beings, are just props in a political drama she wants a role in. “.
None of us are safe under this administration’s interpretation of “the law”.
No fucking shit! You’re right on! The Supreme Court is a semantic shit hole of elite mother fuckers who couldn’t give a flying fuck about anyone else’s children or the law of reason. I hope the good lord calls the 2 criminal justices and 1 more Republican justice home one day after the dems takeover the senate and house in 2026 so the Dems can use the good ole McConnell mentality to either block the judges being added by trump or impeach him and vance and then they can add the justices… oh and then overturn Citizens United and change the law so no one or corporation or business or any group can donate more than $50 to a campaign, including their own. I can dream can’t I?
"Dear Courts, due to an unforeseen accident, the deported criminal was accidentally killed during his daily, XL round of torture. Therefore, we are unable to return him to the USA. He was incinerated to hide all the evidence."
Thanks for the clarification of the order. Can say with certainty that the Roberts court isn’t Supreme at all. This is a human being, not a chess piece. And what about the others that don’t belong there. Last figure seen was at least 75% of them. Any thoughts by anyone on trying to get them returned, or will this be if you have money and connections, you can file an individual case , if you have relatives that even know you are there.
The Ruling was confirmation that there are five votes for a Unitary Executive (American King), and as such, there is NOTHING to celebrate. This court is twisting logic and bending words to facilitate their twisted Christian Nationalist, monarchial view of what they want America to be, and they ( the Christian nationalists and the Federalist society) have been shocked at how little pushback they have gotten. while I'm being candid, so have I.
Thank you for the clarification. I never studied law, therefore my interpretation of rulings is flawed. I appreciate the breakdown and I now understand why the courts seem to be playing ping pong!
This Supreme Court, along with the trump administration, is not only corrupt, it is incompetently dangerous to our democracy and protection under the law. Advice: bone up on your rights as an American citizen because any of us could be next.

Clear as mud! I hate the Fascist Six of the U.S. Kangaroo Court!!!

Let's see if he actually comes back.
He can’t come back if he’s not alive. Do we have -any- assurances that he’s still among the living?
The hat is the exact same thing that I wonder! Do we have any information that would confirm that he is alive???😢
You can almost guarantee how this will go.
"Dear Courts, due to an unforeseen accident, the deported criminal was accidentally killed during his daily, XL round of torture. Therefore, we are unable to return him to the USA. He was incinerated to hide all the evidence."
I’m extremely concerned about this and I haven’t seen any information about his current status of health or life 😢
A truly Hitlerian court. An abomination.
Hitler owned the Court, Trumpy owns the Court. Trumpy is slowly becoming the Autocrat Dictator he's always dreamed about.
And the worst case scenario is becoming the only scenario. There are no words.
You're absolutely right. They should have simply let the original order stand.

Every Supreme Court ruling since Cavanaugh joined should be vacated as corrupt.
Agree completely.

The cartoon is awesome as well!

Shameful…just simply shameful
Thanks Mitch. 😒
(never forget who paved this road that got us here)
