Not in the least bit surprising

The only truly surprising part of this sordid story is that the bus(es) didn't just keep driving and ultimately put these people in the air, bound to wherever

Makes me wonder if #JohnRoberts has out-of-band told #Trump "Dude... sit down and shut up. For your own good...)

Pretty much overruling #StephenMiller

"Perhaps now, the court will do its job, one that it has shirked and even self-sabotaged (by granting extensive criminal immunity to the president who instigated an insurrection). ... It seems it is now or never for the Supreme Court to decide if we are a nation of laws, or a nation run by a lawless bully."

"If they don’t, we will be back to square one anyway. We will still have a lawless tyrant doing illegal renditions of innocent people to concentration camps, with the stated desire to do it to American citizens, and no checks or balances anywhere."

"Trump seems to have either concluded that he no longer needs the Supreme Court to validate his fascist, unconstitutional agenda, or he thinks they will back him up and let him populate foreign black sites with anyone the hell he wants. If they do, they will be announcing they are simply the Hand of the King — just as illegitimate as he is."

"A little before 1 a.m. Saturday, the Supreme Court issued an order blocking the Trump administration from removing people from the United States who the administration has claimed or will claim are subject to President Donald Trump’s Alien Enemies Act proclamation and are in custody in the Northern District of Texas.

It was an unusual order in an unusual moment."

"I have given up hoping the Court will do the right thing. If it does, I will be grateful and surprised. But we are long past waiting and hoping for the reactionary majority to learn whether there is any limit to the humiliation and abuse they will accept from Trump as they twist themselves into knots of judicial dishonesty."

"So Mr. Strict Constructionist, what’s it to be-literal reading of the Constituion or more capitulation to a madman? We are waiting…and watching."

"President Trump and his stooge from El Salvador stood in the Oval Office Monday and metaphorically took a dump on the US judiciary, the Constitution and American democracy."

"2. The second way we officially become a dictatorship is if the Trump regime can accuse any American citizen of being so dangerous as to justify being sent to a foreign prison, without any independent court reviewing the regime’s evidence.

If the answer is yes, none of us is safe from the Trump regime."

"The Trump regime is on the cusp of a showdown with the Supreme Court. Depending on what the Court does and how the regime responds, it could openly become a dictatorship two ways.

1. The first way the Trump regime openly becomes a dictatorship is by directly defying a Supreme Court order."
