Supremes basically greenlighted tRump's continued abuse of due process by dumping challenges on habeas grounds to pro-tRump lower courts, but NOT stopping ALL deportations in their tracks unless and until full judicial hearing are provided in any and all jurisdictions. Sure, the Five say "give" prospective deportees the right — a right ALREADY bestowed up ALL persons residing in the US — to a habeas hearing, but said NOTHING about DHS covertly shipping people out of the States just to avoid those hearings.
The Court sooner or later has to come to grips with the Alien Enemies Act, and its constitutionality as employed by tRump, especially answering the "foreign invasion" prescription for deportation. Procedural dodges just don't ultimately resolve the "major questions" raised here, and the SCOTUS is just kicking the can down the road, seemingly to avoid a head-on collision between court rulings and the Executive's full compliance with those rulings. It's a-coming, be assured of that.
Re: Dripping with contempt. This is the tell that Mr. Vought is engaged in a very personal war with the class that torments him. What undermines the integrity of Project 2025 is that it is built on and consumed by petty hatreds. By the chip on their shoulder shall ye know them.
This is very discouraging. Trump has arrogated to himself the power to rendition any of us. I can't see why TPM's comments aren't filled with readers expressing shock outrage or some reaction. Are the American people experiencing some species of outrage-exhaustion, anesthetization, or a fatalistic acceptance that this is the new normal? God help us, if so.
My outrage is directed at my representatives, the so called president and the Supreme Court. I contact one or more weekly. I agree with many comments but expressing them here is just preaching to the choir.
I don’t think it’s anywhere near 2/3, maybe it’s 1/3… there were more who voted against him or sat it out than voted for him. Did you see the protests last Saturday? 3-5 million people is not the threshold needed to tip the scales but it is a good beginning. People are largely informed and/or definitely waking up. You’ll never get the cult members but that’s not needed. But to the good question posted here, I have seen loads of outrage posted on other forums. I do think that there is a degree of shell-shock, numbness, and fear that is warranted. We are all trying to sort out what to do next on so many fronts.

5.2 million people were out on April 5th at all 50 Capitols' steps and even more on the streets around the world, all expressing their outrage.
There are likely to be more when we gather in protest again on April 19th. I'll be there. Will you?

A lot less than 2/3 are
still asleep. "Hands Off"
across the country and
in different parts of the
world proved that.
