Yahoo News · The hilarious implications of the Supreme Court’s new porn decisionBy Ian Millhiser

This Hispanic guy gave me a fist-up in solidarity and several people took pictures or complimented. When you finally arrive at the park and you see all the discarded signs leaned up against the fences, it’s tempting to leave yours behind too. But I wanted to keep mine and maybe use it again (although I plan on copying that Canook who made a brilliant Nazi-saluting-Musk sign).

Amy Klobuchar calls on Supreme Court to hold Trump officials in contempt

Senator Klobuchar warns of US getting ‘closer to a constitutional crisis’
-- as Samuel Alito’s dissent signals deference to Trump

On Sunday Minnesota senator #Amy #Klobuchar warned that the US is “getting closer and closer to a constitutional crisis”, but the courts, growing Republican disquiet at Trump administration policies, and public protest were holding it off.

“I believe as long as these courts hold,
and the constituents hold,
and the congress starts standing up,
our democracy will hold,”

Klobuchar told CNN’s State of the Union, adding
💥“but Donald Trump is trying to pull us down into the sewer of a crisis.”

Klobuchar said the US supreme court should 👉hold Trump administration officials in contempt if they continue to ignore a court order to facilitate the return of Kilmar Ábrego García from El Salvador,
the Maryland resident the government admitted in court it had deported by mistake.

Klobuchar said the court could appoint a 👉special prosecutor, independent of Trump’s Department of Justice,
to uphold the rule of law and charge any officials who are responsible for Ábrego García’s deportation,
or have refused to facilitate his return.

The senator’s comments came hours after supreme court released justice #Samuel #Alito’s #dissenting #opinion on the court’s decision to block the Trump administration from deporting more Venezuelans held in north Texas’s Bluebonnet detention center .

In his dissent, Alito criticized the decision of the seven-member majority,
saying the court had acted “literally in the middle of the night” and without sufficient explanation.

The “unprecedented” relief was “hastily and prematurely granted”, Alito added.

Alito, whose dissent was joined by fellow conservative justice #Clarence #Thomas, said there was “dubious factual support” for granting the request in an emergency appeal from the American Civil Liberties Union
to block deportations of accused gang members that the administration contends are legal under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798.

The majority did not provide a detailed explanation for the order released early on Saturday,
only that the administration should not to remove Venezuelans held in the “until further order of this court”.

The court has said previously that deportations under the 1798 law can only proceed if those scheduled to be removed are offered a chance to argue their case in court and were given “a reasonable time” to contest their pending removals.

The Guardian · Amy Klobuchar calls on supreme court to hold Trump officials in contemptBy Edward Helmore

#SCOTUS moved with urgency late last night, intervening in the Alien Enemies Act cases and blocking #deportations. It appears that a majority on the court finally figured out they were being "played" by the govt who seems to have been moving detainees around to avoid court orders and giving the detainees less than full access to due process.

#Thomas and #Alito, the leading sociopaths on the court, dissented ... of course.

www.stevevladeck.com144. The Supreme Court's Late-Night Alien Enemy Act InterventionJust before 1:00 a.m., the justices (aggressively) stepped back into the Alien Enemy Act litigation—in a decision suggesting that a majority understands that these are no longer normal circumstances.

The second episode of Dark Money Games by Alex Gibney on HBO features journalist Jane Mayer discussing the conservative Christian agents Leonard Leo and his puppet Supreme Court justices overturning human rights, rule of law and US constitutional democracy. Some of this is based on the recent Court reporting by ProPublica. Ideal for your high school civics class.
