In this the illegitimate supreme court is wholly responsible. They created this mess by hiding behind the Constitution claiming presidential immunity. I guess we could add Mitch McConnell as he manipulated the rules to get a Republican majority on the court.

Mike Yochim, Okay, I get it and agree with you about the travesty that went into getting the current justices we have. But moving forward - at this point they have decided to diverge from trump and instead support the rule of law.

When SCOTUS sees a situation and rules against trump, I’m going to give them credit. We have to take all the support available to get through this coup and win back our freedom.

By their immunity ruling they have neutered themselves and the entire judicial system. There is no teeth in their rulings. As he continues to ignore judicial rulings, what consequences exist for him?

What about all the other detainees who were sent to the Salvadoran prison without due process. Don't they need to be brought back as well???

Lawrence. Thank you for your tireless advocacy for truth. The current "leaders" in DC are completely amoral, dishonest and unethical monsters. Who bred them? How can they be so heartless knowing that an innocent man is in danger for his life and with a straight face say there's nothing we can do and expect anyone to believe them? Perhaps one day they will all face similar danger and no one will be willing to help them. That would be true justice.

Thanks Andrew and Lawrence. We’ve come to depend on you to provide truthful information.This country desperately needs SCOTUS to defend the rule of law and the constitution or our democracy is finished!

It's without due process; Trump is overriding the rule of law and doing so over the Judiciary which is like the Dictator philosophy he relishes without the support of the US citizens who think they are in a Democracy. You must protest daily like in Poland, it's the only way to overcome his move to authoritarian takeover!

The Supreme Court can rule, but a rule without enforcement isn't worth the paper it is written on.

“I really didn't realize until I saw Justice

Sotomayor laying it out in her supplementary finding to the Chief Justice's ruling today, that what they're arguing is that they can do this to any one of us.”

Thank you

If Mr. Garcia is not a gang member in a prison full of gang members, is he even still alive?

They may not want to put the orange fat blob in jail, but they can hold all his attorneys in contempt and jail them!!!

Thank god they ruled unanimously on this. Maybe they are afraid the madman will just eventually run roughshod on their decisions, too. He will decide he really is invincible. . .just like your crooked ruling intended. Only now it will be used against the Court. Imagine that.

We need a cadre of great political, economic and legal minds to form a think tank to help this country survive until 2026.

Barack Obama, both Clintons, George Conway, George Soros, Mark Cuban, Marc Elias, Marc Weissman, Doris Kearns Goodwin, Janet Yellin, Andrew Ross Sorkin, General Mark Milley, Corey Booker, Letitia James, Adam Schiff, Pete Buttigieg, Joyce Vance, Jamie Dimon, Elizabeth Warren, Chris Murphy, Governor Pritzker, Governor Shapiro, Tim Walz, Jon Meacham, and former Vice President Harris to name a few!

Thank you Andrew Weissmann! It is so very encouraging to see these kind of rulings coming down from the Supreme Court! It gives me confidence that SCOTUS is willing to take trump on and rule against his utter contempt for the Law and our Constitution!

The SCOTUS waffle iron was all heated up and ready to use. Remand! Clarify a word! Do nothing! Pathetic. One more step to Hitler/Trump dictator-ship. See Peter Fritzsche’s HITLER’S FIRST HUNDRED DAYS. Same playbook for both sociopaths.
