Too true. The stars align to thwart your focus on the big thing. You got this.

Sickening.
Who, what, when, how — are brakes applied? Courts doing the best possible despite the reality of a political pro-executive final review at the Supreme Court. The surreality is thunderous.
Where is Congress? Complete capitulation by formerly mainstream Republicans. No checks, no balance, accelerating descent into cruelty & violence.
Good news for the survival of the Constitution.
WILKINSON, Circuit Judge, concurring in the denial of a motion for a stay pending appeal: I would deny the request for a stay of the district court's order pending appeal. We deal here with what I hope is the extraordinary circumstance of the government conceding that it made an error in deporting the plaintiff to a foreign country for which he was not eligible for removal. In this situation, I think it legitimate for the district court to require that the government "facilitate" the plaintiff's return to the United States so that he may assert the rights that all apparently agree are due him under law. It is fair to read the district court's order as one requiring that the government facilitate Abrego Garcia's release, rather than demand it. The former seems within the trial court's lawful powers in this circumstance; the latter would be an intrusion on core executive powers that goes too far.
And the government rightfully concedes that it was an "error" and a "mistake" to ignore this process. Mot. for Stay at 16-17. And, if it is truly a mistake, one would also expect the government to do what it can to rectify it. Most of us attempt to undo, to the extent that we can, the mistakes that we have made. But, to the best of my knowledge, the government has not made the attempt here. The facts of this case thus present the potential for a disturbing loophole: namely that the government could whisk individuals to foreign prisons in violation of court orders and then contend, invoking its Article II powers, that it is no longer their custodian, and there is nothing that can be done. It takes no small amount of imagination to understand that this is a path of perfect lawlessness, one that courts cannot condone.
Judge Thacker (Obama), joined by Judge King (Clinton), wrote that first concurrence. Judge Wilkinson (Reagan), then, wrote his own concurrence.
Wilkinson: "It takes no small amount of imagination to understand that this is a path of perfect lawlessness, one that courts cannot condone."
To the world:
We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom.

Your American allies.

Is it time to talk Nuremberg defense? Following unlawful orders is unlawful. I’m looking at you, obedient enablers.
Nonplussed by current events
All bluster?
Large bodies of water like oceans and seas are named by the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) and sometimes the United Nations Group of Experts on Geographical Names (UNGEGN).
Fair question.

Whoa.
Local grown voters and leaders are key.
Got it, about an hour ago. Anything new in it?
Thank you. When was this reply filed?
Or not. Without action, sentencing goes forward and application is moot.
Did it happen??
SCOTUS experts! What’s the skinny on the effort to block DJT’s NY sentencing? Likely producedure? Legal standard applicable?
