SCOTUS

Yeah SCOTUS is requiring that they get their day in court, and Trump invoked the AEA so as to avoid that.

[jon-nyc]

SCOTUS blocked the administration from punishing AP for their speech.

[Mik]

Sounds right.

[jon-nyc]

9-0, get the administrative error guy back from El Salvador.

[Jolly]

If they can.

BTW, did they give Trump a mechanism to do so?

Margolis' take:

@jon-nyc said in SCOTUS:

If I read correctly, he did not necessary disagree with the decision, but more the timing.

Alito disapproved of the timing of the decision, which he described as being "literally in the middle of the night."

"[T]he Court issued unprecedented and legally questionable relief without giving the lower courts a chance to rule, without hearing from the opposing party, within eight hours of receiving the application, with dubious factual support for its order, and without providing any explanation for its order," Alito wrote.

The justice, who has served on the court since 2006, was joined by Justice Clarence Thomas in his dissent.

"I refused to join the Court’s order because we had no good reason to think that, under the circumstances, issuing an order at midnight was necessary or appropriate," Alito continued.

"Both the Executive and the Judiciary have an obligation to follow the law. The Executive must proceed under the terms of our order in Trump v. J. G. G., 604 U. S. ___ (2025) (per curiam), and this Court should follow established procedures."
