A lawsuit laying out, step by step, just how cluelessly, dangerously wrong Justice Brett Kavanaugh's opinion and the majority's vote from earlier this month were. www.lawdork.com/p/scotus-tru...
WOW. The lead plaintiff is a Latino man who's been here legally for 24 years. He was grabbed off the street by plainclothes federal agents who didn't even ASK about his status.
He was detained overnight and only released once a supervisor realized he had been illegally arrested.

I could not be prouder to be part of this letter - signed by nearly 60 members of the Duke Law School faculty - reaffirming our commitment to academic freedom and the rule of law. And speaking out against what we see as recent threats to both.
Critically, we do so alongside other law schools . . .

If guilty people don't have Due Process rights, then innocent people don't have Due Process rights, because we don't know if they're innocent or guilty until we have a trial or hearing.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

As we’ve been saying on Strict Scrutiny, @strictscrutiny.bsky.social, SCOTUS (Roberts & Co.) have to own so much of what Trump 2.0 is doing - they cleared the way for his re-election, and effectively anointed him a king above the law.
“Thank you again. Thank you again. Won’t forget it,” Trump says while shaking the hand of Supreme Court Justice John Roberts after the State of the Union.

This is disgraceful.
Judge Bates, appointed to the bench by President George W. Bush, is a widely respected member of the judiciary.
He and other judges deserve so much better.
