Cruelty Matched With Lawlessness
The New Podcast Episode Of Main Justice – BTH, Vol 4.1.b
Here is the new episode of our Main Justice podcast. We talk about a variety of new cases including yesterday’s Supreme Court decision. My bottom-line take on the new Supreme Court decision:
The new Supreme Court decision is a total DEFEAT of the Trump administration’s position that due process is not required—or does not require a hearing—before deportation.
The unanimous Court says a pre-deprivation hearing is required. That’s the story. Period.
The entire administration strategy was to avoid giving people a hearing before shipping them off. The Court just shut that down.
Take a listen to our discussion on this and much more.

What is Trump's End Game to be Master of the Universe?
This just about says it all.
Yesterday, during an extemporaneous monologue that Trump gave at a formal Republican Congressional Committee dinner, he rambled on for 2 hours spewing thoughts that popped out of his brain, unedited for chilling disclosures of how his warped mind actually works. Among his pronouncements was his boast that many countries are calling him and "kissing my ass... dying to make a deal" and pleading "Please, please sir, let me make a deal; I'll do anything. I'll do anything sir".
Anyone sitting through his diatribe could not escape concluding that we are dealing here with a madman. This is not about tariffs, or even trade. This is all about Donald Trump and his aspiration to be Master of the Universe.
Regardless of whether Trump has the legal authority to unilaterally deport Venezuelans back to Venezuela, what is his legal authority to deport a Venezuelan or any other non-citizen of the U.S. to a country of Trump's choosing to have that person thrown into prison there ? I must be missing something here because it sounds so Draconian and fascist.
