Summary

The MAGA cinematic universe has gone into full meltdown after the Supreme Court temporarily blocked the Trump administration’s latest deportation push.

The ruling halted deportations that rely on the Alien Enemies Act—in a stunning 7-2 decision. “The Supreme Court would rather actively participate in America’s ruination,” wrote DHS liaison Paul Ingrassia.

“We live in a society where foreign alien terrorists have unlimited free legal representation,” Stephen Miller posted.

Tom Fitton suggested Trump suspend habeas corpus to “reverse the Biden invasion.” “Who will compensate the American people for the lasting damage?” Rep. Mary Miller asked.

    Yeah it feels like that’s getting glossed over but that’s a really fucking big deal.

    For those unaware, habeas corpus (from Medieval Latin, lit. ‘you should have the body’, basically ‘bring us this guy’) is a legal procedure that exists in basically every legitimate government anywhere, not just American, which effectively states that if you’ve been wrongly imprisoned then your lawyer can call to have you moved from prison to a courtroom to determine whether your detainment is lawful. Basically saying you can’t just be thrown in a dungeon to be forgotten about because someone can force the court to retrieve you and give you a court date. I’m not a legal expert so read it for yourself to get a good understanding.

    At any rate, someone recommending suspending habeas corpus is never up to any good, it is always 100% bad without exception, always. Even saying those three words together should be instant political suicide and should be grounds for disbarment. Successfully suspending habeas corpus with your rubber stamp and signature should be subject to execution. Any judge who accepts that it is suspended is unfit for their position.
