MODERATORS
If they have red lines this needs to be it. If they allow the Republican Party to send people to a concentration camp without due process, especially when they claim they can't get people back, the Supreme Court might as well fire themselves and lock the doors on the way out.
Most importantly to Thomas and Alito, the "gratuities" will stop coming in if they have no real power.
Which makes it weird that they're going all in on wanting the guy defying their orders to continue...
I assume there's something in it for them to make up for the lost gratuities.
This article says that Clarence and Alito dissented from the majority opinion (which I assume to be "no deportation without due process").
This thread reads differently to me... ELI5 please?
Republicans, Thomas and alito (and Roberts) aren't trump appointees.
Trump appointees are gorsuch, Barrett, and boof kavanaugh. They all signed the majority opinion against Trump
I had to re-read that a few times for it to click.
Rest assured this order will be ignored.
POTUS hears ya, POTUS doesn’t care.
GOP: Sorry we will need a new SCOTUS. This one has gone woke.
