A bridge too far for this court? Good thing I was sitting down.
This is just so obvious. It’s unclear how the “oops” defense could possibly win the day in something so egregious. But it also gives Roberts et al. cover for later rulings that are less benevolent: “Hey, we told the government to bring that guy back from El Salvador! You can’t claim we aren’t following the Constitution!”
Yeah. I read it more as “Please exclude me from consequences if any in the future, but no we won’t stop him. Hey, we said they should ‘begin process to’. Should be good?”
Maybe I am cynical but I don’t think the Supreme Court is where the rescue will come from.
