Today’s unsigned, unexplained #SCOTUS ruling clearing the way for removals of migrants to third countries without any additional process is a disaster—not just on the merits, but because of the government misbehavior that it not only refuses to punish, but effectively rewards.

@elienyc.bsky.social with the burn. “Trump controls the House, but he doesn’t control 2/3rds of the Senate. Judge Boasberg is not Palestinian, so I don’t think Chuck Schumer will give Trump the extra votes he needs. “
John Roberts is not "rebuking" Donald Trump. He's bending the knee. If you listen to what Roberts is *not* saying, you'll see he's telling Trump exactly what he wants to hear.
We've seen this before from another Chief Justice, in Marbury v. Madison.

#SCOTUS is set to hear *zero* appeals from state criminal convictions this term.
That total may be a fluke, but the broader disappearance of such cases from the docket isn’t.
And as today’s “One First” explains, it has lots of (bad) downstream implications:
