Watching my country kill itself in real time has been surreal to say the least

10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
This levies the injunction, allowing for deportations to resume. Boasberg still needs to rule on this case. It’s absolutely horrible news, but it’s not over yet.
Boasberg still needs to rule on this case
Unfortunately it really is absolutely horrible news, the whole sole reason in this bullshit unsigned 5-4 opinion is that the plaintiffs should have filed in Texas not D.C., so it's going to a different judge now and this probably voids the question of whether or not the administration ignored court orders at the outset of this because (per this bullshit opinion) those orders were given by a court that never should have been involved
Incidentally, I found a better article about this (archive)
By a vote of 5-4, the justices declined to address the challengers’ contention that they are not covered by the 18th-century law on which Trump relied in issuing the order. Instead, the challengers’ lawsuit must be brought in Texas, where they are being held, rather than in Washington, D.C., the court explained.
The unsigned four-page opinion emphasized that although courts have a limited role in reviewing claims under that law, the plaintiffs and others detained under the law are entitled to “notice and an opportunity to challenge their removal.”
Justice Sonia Sotomayor penned a 17-page dissent joined in full by Justices Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson and in part by Justice Amy Coney Barrett. She contended that her colleagues’ “decision to intervene in this litigation is as inexplicable as it is dangerous.”
Jackson wrote her own two-page dissent in which she lamented that the majority’s “fly-by-night approach to the work of the Supreme Court is not only misguided. It is also dangerous.”
So, just to recap, the supreme court is not going to let deportation flights to El Salvador be stopped yet, but they will stop an order to have someone returned from El Salvador, but they want people being flown to El Salvador to have “notice and an opportunity to challenge their removal.”
At the risk of asking a stupid question, what's the point in challenging your deportation if you've already been flown to El Salvador and nobody can bring you back?

Plausible deniability and a performative show given by a supreme court that does not care about the constitution as much as it cares about appeasing the people who gave its members their positions.
Or more simply, for the person being disappeared... absolutely nothing, but now guaranteed by a court claiming "we said you deserved due process, so we're not corrupt."
Oh, it's over.
Maybe not this particular thing, but the grand experiment is over.
We haven't even had our death throws yet. It'll be over after the protests turn violent. At this rate they will. Stay safe out there its about to get even more insane.
Because I am a linguistic pedant:

Agreed. People need to know their state laws about charging entire protests for a single bad actor now that SCOTUS turned it over to the states. Know your laws and protect yourself from group prosecutions.
At this rate Americans need to be prepared for the very real possibility of potentially lethal clashes with police forces if they want to win this.
I'm pretty sure that is the MAGAts' plan. Give the police a flimsy excuse to start shooting and mass arrests.
throws
Throes? Bone apple tea!

Nah, it's not... The framers of the constitution put in multiple reset buttons, with the warning that this is for when their systems fail - not if. The question is, can we shake off the rust on one of the methods before we hit the final one
The pax Americana is over, the world no longer trusts us or respects us. They hate us, fear us, pity us... But for a generation to come, they won't trust us
Shit is going to get rough, but it's far from over. The question is will we see the other side of this in our lifetime
What constitution?
