The Trump administration claims the right to throw a man with legal status into a black hole Central American prison, affording him no due process, to admit afterward it was a mistake, and then to get snide with the judge who tells them to fix it.

WHAT THE F**K!

Indeed, other than paving the way for the Plaintiff States’ immediate suffering, it appears that the primary effect of today’s emergency stay is to hand the Government an early “win”—a notch in its belt at the start of a legal battle in which the long-term prospects for its eventual success seem doubtful. And I don’t blame the Government for trying. If you’re likely to lose on the merits, why not use the Court’s procedures to fight on new and creative fronts? The Government has now gotten this Court to nullify clearly warranted interim injunctive relief, deflecting attention away from the Government’s own highly questionable behavior, all without any showing of urgency or need. I worry that permitting the emergency docket to be hijacked in this way, by parties with tangential legal questions unrelated to imminent harm, damages our institutional credibility.

I am fascinated by this fourth wall–breaking footnote from Justice Jackson criticizing the majority for handing the Trump administration "a notch in its belt at the start of a legal battle in which the long-term prospects for its eventual success seem doubtful." It's more about optics than law ...

No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.

Rubio spent a life in politics trying to get at the big kids table by talking tough about Russia and democracy, then chose to implement an autocratic Kremlin playbook so he could fly around on a nice plane and have people be nice to him. Perhaps even more shameful than Trump and Vance.

It would have been less embarrassing if JD had just fucked the couch he was sitting on.

JD Vance is the loser in high school who mercilessly picks on a small kid in front of a crowd to impress a bully.

I hope the media doesn’t spin this direct connection away.
