The justices said no action should be taken to pursue the deportations of any alleged Venezuelan gang members in Texas under the rarely used wartime law.

    Defeatism may be useless criticism but we’re living in a world where misplaced optimism may be deadly. What are you advocating for here? The person you’re responding to is almost certainly correct in their assessment of what will happen next, and that seems worth discussing.

    I find your response confusing.

      I’m advocating realism through comprehension of the situation. SCOTUS has twice now upheld the federal court orders regarding these deportations. The concern about the judiciary not having their own enforcement arm is negotiable through a court appointed attorney, a writ to law enforcement, or by deputizing in the most extreme case.

      This doesn’t mean he can’t pardon those involved, but that would be an outright admission of guilt, and most certainly prompt the revolution that everyone seems to be so hungry for.
