BREAKING: The Supreme Court rules 7-2 to further enjoin the government from summarily deporting alleged gang members under the Alien Enemies Act.
The government didn’t give enough notice and the 5th Circuit erred in refusing to provide relief, the justices concluded.

Reporter: What message does it send when you welcome white South Africans but block all other refugees?
Trump: “If I see people in distress, I don't care what color…The farmers in South Africa are being treated brutally… they happen to be white. If they were black, I'd do the exact same thing”

Trump's DOJ is reportedly considering dropping a criminal case against Boeing over two deadly 737 MAX crashes
Reminder that the Trump admin has halted or withdrawn enforcement actions against 130+ corporate offenders since inauguration day.
Is this being "tough on crime"?

Of course Alito and Thomas would rubber stamp the Trump Administration's lawlessness, racism and cruelty.
Should've been a 9-0 Supreme Court decision to block the use of Alien Enemies Act but...is anyone surprised?

I hope they do arrest James Comey for the photo of sea shells. It will vividly illustrate to Americans who ignore politics and political news until a couple months before elections how truly demented and autocratic these freaks are, because they are just getting started.

Sotomayor’s support for the aggressive pro-democracy movement is so important at this critical time. She understands that while we must bring difficult cases and be willing to lose, we must always fight to win. And by lending her voice she affirmed that it is “our time to stand up and be heard.”
Justice Sotomayor’s Message to Lawyers: Stand Up, Fight and Win
In an era when judges are often assessed by their commitment to democracy, Justice Sonia Sotomayor stands as a stalwart in the pro-democracy camp.

There is still a "broad consensus" -- John Eastman is a disgraced lawyer under indictment.
