On Chickens**t Alien-Enemies Non-Decision

 Childers thinks Trump & Co. have a plan.

 

...the Court never said Trump can’t remove illegals using other laws under the Immigration and Naturalization Act (INA). Nor did it rule on the case’s merits. The Court’s “blockbuster” decision didn’t really decide anything.

Instead, SCOTUS shot the case back down to the Fifth Circuit, to render a verdict on three key questions: (1) Can Trump legally use the Alien Enemies Act to deport these types of bad actors? (2) Can illegals be merged into a class action, which has never been done before? And, (3) If so, how much due process and notice does an Alien Enemy deserve under a state of emergency?...

Digress to discussion about 5th Circuit.  Then return:

 .....To reiterate, perhaps it’s best to see yesterday’s decision as an invitation for Trump to suspend the writ: If the executive really believes this is an invasion-level emergency, he can make the case to Congress and suspend the writ. Don’t expect us to do it for him.

If Trump is considering recruiting Congress to help suspend the writ —two branches against one— he must first make it politically possible. He must try everything else first, exhausting all other avenues, so that Congress can throw up its hands in frustration, blame errant judges, and say what else can we do?

President Trump’s Truth Social response to the decision practically paves the driveway to the writ of habeas corpus. His Administration officials have recently telegraphed considering suspending it. There is no doubt in my mind they are trying to figure out how to make it work, if, that is, they don’t already have a plan.

I suspect there is a plan. This isn’t over by a long shot.

Julia Roberts and the Little Girl Turncoat from Notre Dame can go to Hell in the meantime.
