Supreme Court Bestirs Itself
"To the extent the Government removes even one individual without affording him notice and a meaningful opportunity to file and pursue habeas relief, it does so in direct contravention of an edict by the United States Supreme Court."

Yup ... "it is now or never for the Supreme Court to decide if we are a nation of laws, or a nation run by a lawless bully."

My money is on "run by a lawless bully".
If Roberts and Coney Barrett defect from the star chamber to affirm Rule of Law it will be surprising.
Stranger things have happened.
Reason for cautious optimism.

Some nations in South and Central America Banana Republics copied the US Constitution pretty much word for word. And then nobody paid attention to it. Presidents and different Congresses ignored it. The courts of those nations did not enforce it. But it was all on paper as "the law". Just a big farce.
Obviously, instead of them becoming more like us, the US has become a lot more like them.

The ACLU, acting with lightning speed, then dashed to Judge James Boasberg in Washington, D.C., to halt the apparent deportations (denied), back to the Northern District of Texas (denied) and up to the Fifth Circuit. Sensing the government might again rush migrants out from under the nose of the courts, the ACLU went to the Supreme Court
contemptuous cat-and-mouse game the government has been playing with the courts
cat-and-mouse game- not to be confused with judge/court shopping

...and up to the Fifth Circuit...
What did they say? "Denied" again?

There's not a doubt in my mind that the Roberts Supreme Court will give Trump a green light every chance they get if it's at all possible to twist wording of the Constitution in Trump's favor.
This just isn't one of those times.
while Trump wants to blast his way into a Dictatorship, Roberts is taking a more tempered approach.
My guess is that they both have each other on speed dial.
