Who can be surprised that the Supreme Court will swallow any argument the Trump administration advances? And who doesn't now think that the six conservative justices are indifferent to signs of brutality as ICE agents arrest migrants and even US citizens

Due process has devolved into undue prejudice. They aren't even trying to make sense of it--no process at all, no work at all. Just "10%! Round 'em up!"

I wonder when they'll get their 6 Team Fascist sweatshirts. Pretty sure they'll be extra long white hoodies.

I told myself many weeks ago to expect SCOTUS to follow a rule: if they can issue a stay to allow this regime to break the law without actually having to take on the merits, they will. They are giving every also decision to this lawless and cruel regime. I imagine it's because they want him to succeed even when they know the law is against them. I can't find and good faith reason for them to keep on in this fashion.

Yet somehow, I still feel so disappointed in them every time.

Supreme Court. Imperial Court. Eh. There need be no difference in the age of Trump. And don't you just love shadow dockets? Trump ignores the constitution. The court kicks it down the road and issues an indefinite stay of any lower court decision that rules against Trump which 95% do. It all enters some wormhole and the 250 year experiment evolves into a dictatorship. What's not to love? Now you'll excuse; I'm late for my lobotomy.

And so ICE can enforce this ruling by SCOTUS, but who are enforcing all the lower federal court rulings against this administration? Who?
