I think the Trump admin is basically hoisted by its own petard here. By claiming that they have no power to bring people back from El Salvador - and refusing to do anything to bring people back even when ordered by courts - they can’t well complain that the courts have to act quickly to block...

I didnt take from that at all that Judge Wilkinson is giving the administration the benefit of the doubt and crediting what they say. Thats the closest I’ve ever seen a federal appellate judge come to saying that the sitting executive is a lawless tyrant. As you essentially acknowledge, actually...

I think I would have to say message board posting

lol what makes you think he will win the NY appeals? They've been rejected every step of the way so far.

Oh sorry I didn't realize verdicts don't count if the jury is majority democrat. Clearly you know more about the law than the rest of us.

I am becoming more and more convinced that it's not going to happen (at least the massive sea change we need isn't going to happen) without some sort of national crisis. World War, another Great Depression, natural disaster on a massive scale, etc. Something that unites us in the understanding...

I don't disagree with you overall about the use of "legalese" but the Supreme Court basically said the district court couldn't order the administration to do the things you want it to order. I think the original reason the court used "facilitate" and "effectuate" was to try to avoid a finding...

Documents, photos, videos, sworn testimony. The same evidence that you have in every other court proceeding. Do you seriously think the Trump admin should just be able to come into court and say whoever it wants is "MS-13" and not be expected to identify the basis for that assertion? If you...

He’s not MS 13. The government has presented no evidence he is.

He answered a question he wouldn’t allow to be asked? Amazing.

El Salvador doesn't want to return him because Trump doesn't want him returned. If Trump actually told El Salvador to return the guy he would be back here in a snap. We know hacks like you are dumb enough to buy this kind of Kabuki theater but it remains to be seen if the Supreme Court is...

Ah yes, our resident free speech warrior is here to explain why refusing to answer questions from reporters you don't like is actually a strong and admirable thing for Trump to do

I agree with you, but I told you that this is what he was going to do when you were doubtful. Your only mistake, if any, was assuming that we would get anything approaching logical, rhetorical, or political consistency from Trump on this issue. Anyone with a brain can see that "The US government...

Gee, who could have ever predicted this?

Because that's what IC is reporting, and I would be pretty surprised if they were that wrong about it
