I'm kind of slow when it comes to legal stuff, but this seems to be a particularly interesting case unfolding.

Essentially, SCOTUS blocked the Trump administration's use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelan gang members in a 1 am ruling. Now the Supreme Court rarely does this, I assume because they are old and sleep a lot and very rarely have any sense of urgency whatsoever.

Alito and Thomas were the only two dissenters. I have no idea why these Venezualans seem to be so valuable to so many branches of government. The Biden admin imported them and now the Supreme Court is bending over backwards to protect them, in a midnight decision right before a holiday Sunday. Anyone have a theory as to what's going on here?

Notes from the Alito dissent:

“In sum, literally in the middle of the night, the Court issued unprecedented and legally questionable relief without giving the lower courts a chance to rule, without hearing from the opposing party, within eight hours of receiving the application, with dubious factual support for its order, and without providing any explanation for its order,” Alito wrote. “I refused to join the Court’s order because we had no good reason to think that, under the circumstances, issuing an order at midnight was necessary or appropriate. Both the Executive and the Judiciary have an obligation to follow the law.”

Got the admit, the fact she filed a police report against him for domestic violence...and is now cashing in on him being safely deported...is quite entrepreneurial in a way!
She’s no fool. She sees those dollars coming in. As long as they keep him in El Salvador, she can cry for him and keep cashing in.

That is absolutely astounding.

Had he even met her before getting up on that stage?

He flew all the way to El Salvador to "tell his wife he's ok..." but then DOES NOT EVEN KNOW WHO SHE IS WHEN HE COMES BACK HOME?!!!!

WHAT ON EARTH IS THIS?!

Holy crap. Why isn’t this all over the place.

What is it with the children of immigrants to America being so anti-American. Definitely an argument to end jus soli.

Being an activist Senator is a pathetic look!

He got exactly what he deserved!

Did he really expect anything else happen, just another Democrat wasting public funds on a personal vanity trip Yes?

This is the spokesman for the Anthony family. Prison for beating his girlfriends 2 year old almost to death. More for probation violations and guess what fighting with a white cop.
