    “I will get to the bottom of whether they violated my order, who ordered this and what the consequences will be.”

    “And if I don’t get answers in the next ten hearings, then dammit we will have a hearing about possibly of having more hearings and after thirty or forty of those, I swear there will be consequences!”

    Boasberg, an appointee of President Barack Obama, didn’t mention Trump’s name during the hearing

    WHY THE FUCK NOT?

    The judge portrayed Trump’s invocation of war powers last week — part of a secretive effort to summarily deport hundreds of Venezuelans to harsh conditions in a Salvadoran prison — as a potentially “alarming” assertion of executive power, which the administration claims is virtually unreviewable by any court.

    No fucking shit. Are you planning on at least trying to actually do something about it? Or do we need another half-dozen hearings for that?

    “It seems to me the only reason to do that is if you know it’s a problem and you want to get them out of the country before there are suits filed,” the judge said.

    That’s exactly what he’s doing, you fucking chode.

    The ultimate decision may be out of Boasberg’s hands.

    Then why does any of this even matter if there’s a hearing by a higher court in 3 days?

    The group included at least one man who was not Venezuelan as well as some women, all of whom the Salvadoran government declined to accept and were instead returned to the United States.

    Confirmation that Trump is just cramming brown people onto planes and shipping them wherever. Which means if you’re brown enough to be accepted by El Salvador, Trump can just disappear people at will.

      Of course not. You know the rules. We’re only at about the 3rd or 4th order that Trump has violated. The rules are that there must be at least ten violations of court orders before a judge can hold a hearing and then ultimately rule that Trump is President so there’s nothing he can do anyway.

      I mean…you don’t think that…the rules are the same for Trump as they are for the rest of us, right? Because that would just be silly.
