SCOTUS Intellectual Laziness
BY Herschel Smith
The U.S. Supreme Court sided against the Trump administration on Friday in a case involving the use of the Alien Enemies Act, a centuries-old wartime law used to deport certain illegal immigrants quickly. The administration had argued that the law allowed for the expedited removal of individuals deemed national security threats, particularly Venezuelan nationals allegedly tied to violent criminal groups. However, the Supreme Court blocked the administration’s efforts.

“Under these circumstances, notice roughly 24 hours before removal, devoid of information about how to exercise due process rights to contest that removal, surely does not pass muster,” the ruling read, despite dissents from Justices Thomas and Alito. “But it is not optimal for this Court, far removed from the circumstances on the ground, to determine in the first instance the precise process necessary to satisfy the Constitution in this case. We remand the case to the Fifth Circuit for that purpose.”
You didn’t meet constitutional muster. But we don’t know what is necessary to meet constitutional muster. So, somebody else has to figure that out.
Good Lord. What good are they except to block the administration and enable the deep state?

With a couple of exceptions…Thomas and Alito…the SCOTUS was compromised and suborned LONG AGO.
