If you’re trying to catch up on what went down with #SNAP late last night at #SCOTUS, here’s my attempt to read the breadcrumbs on the “administrative stay” issued by Justice Jackson—and why a justice so critical of the Court’s grants of emergency relief to Trump still granted temporary relief here:

BREAKING: The full Ninth Circuit vacates last week’s 2-1 order granting DOJ a stay of the district court’s TRO in the case over Trump’s National Guard effort in Oregon. The court will rehear DOJ’s stay request w an 11-judge panel.
Today’s order means Judge Immergut’s TRO remains in effect for now.

It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history.

There’s an emotional loss felt when seeing the destruction of the White House. These are images that sink deep into a sense of mourning. That is emotion might even be more powerful than fear. But does it motivate?

It would be nice if the US had a system of government that didn’t allow the president to arbitrarily tariff whoever he wanted, except we very explicitly do, and since no one seems to care or react, then I guess the rules of our government no longer exist

The deportation order is based on Vedam’s conviction for murder—a crime he did not actually commit and for which he’s now been wholly exonerated. He entered the US at 9 months old and was a legal permanent resident before his conviction. We are so, so, so far from the light of justice.
After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation
