Could you share what the courts have done? What I’ve witnessed is cowardice to hold officials accountable or in contempt for unconstitutional acts.

the scotus (and, notably, conservative lower federal judges) has ruled pretty firmly against trump on the abrego garcia case.

On the grounds that he should have been sent to literally any other country, totally inapplicable to any of the other cases without specific preexisting orders against ES specifically. And notably they have outlined exactly nothing except that the administration had better say how they plan to get him back- the SCOTUS response to the executive saying "we have no plan" was just to say again that they wanted to know the plan.

The government is imprisoning people indefinitely (forever?) for unproven allegations and misdemeanors. They should be able to file habeas petitions for unlawful imprisonment. The courts are doing fuck all about it because the government is contracting to a foreign country to physically imprison them. That's crazy.

This doesn't sound too dissimilar from the Guantanamo bay situation, which Bush, Obama, Trump and Biden all kept going

Guantanamo was a legal morass on account of being under US jurisdiction: https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2025/02/05/frankly-in...

That’s the El Salvador “hack.”

Obama ordered the closure of Guantanamo on his second day in office.

Congress passed a bill with overwhelmingly support that prevented it.

The now famous photo of his hands with the "MS-13" tattoo, which is the evidence of his gang ties, was taken from CECOT. It would not surprise me in the slightest if he was forced to get that tattoo there. CECOT is widely known for torturing its prisoners, and their dictator is obviously doing anything he can to make Trump happy as he's being paid millions by Trump.

This is just a conspiracy theory but it highlights the need for due process. Without it it is very easy for governments to fabricate whatever narrative they want.

I'm reminded of andrew jackson's quote "[The supreme court] has made [their] decision, now let [them] enforce it..."

IMO this is the primary reason Jackson is the reactionary, hateful, right's favorite president, including Trump himself.

Go lookup the absolute horseshit video PragerU made about the battle of New Orleans.

What action has been taken as a result of that ruling though? The Supreme Court might as well give the president a big thumbs down if nothing actually happens.

What independent military and police force does the Supreme Court command?

Laws are useful fictions that evaporate when enough people stop believing in them.

I'm sure Abrego Garcia is comforted by hearing they wrote some words on some paper while he's illegally in a foreign prison.
Re:Corporation for Public Broadcasting Statement Regarding E... by ziddoap on Friday May 02, 2025 @10:24AM (#43870202)
Notably, those rulings have been ignored so far.
Re:Corporation for Public Broadcasting Statement Regarding E... by throwawaymaths on Friday May 02, 2025 @10:26AM (#43870220)
no doubt that is a problem.

It's the problem.

It doesn't matter what the courts say if the executive can disregard that. But this is exactly what they are trying to achieve with this whole "unitary executive" BS, and willing abettance from Republicans in Congress.
