I boosted a message saying: "SupremeCourt just blocked Trump from using the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelan immigrants without due process for now. A 7-2 decision. #ClarenceThomas and #SamuelAlito #dissent."
It is interesting to me that the two most corrupt Supreme Court Justices, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, were the only ones to dissent. #ethics #politics
When it's 7-2, you know who.

#Thomas #Alito are #proFascist
#SamuelAlito #ClarenceThomas, dissented "there were no grounds for the court to get involved at such an early stage of the litigation"
The court... "no authority to issue any relief"
In the ruling, the court did not weigh in on the weighty _underlying question_ of whether the Trump administration can deport people under the #AlienEnemiesAct
Justice #SamuelAlito asked #Oklahoma atty Gregory Garre if #CharterSchools could be more flexible in their #curriculum & give families more alternatives to choose from in #public #education. Garre said all #PublicSchools, including charters, have to conform to the state’s curriculum requirements.
Justice #SamuelAlito grilled atty James Campbell on a claim brought by opponents of St. Isidore: that a ruling for the #Catholic #school could force #students into #religious institutions, because the school would be their “only free public option.”
Campbell said #Oklahoma #law forbids an entire #SchoolDistrict from converting to #CharterSchools. If such a situation arose, families could file a separate challenge.

#SupremeCourt Justice #SamuelAlito leapt into proselytizing from the bench on Wednesday — and in doing so, he "revealed his own #homophobia" as well as that he didn't understand the basic plot of the children's #book he wants to allow parents to force schools to embargo, court watcher #MarkJosephStern wrote for #Slate in an analysis published on Wednesday.

#SupremeCourt temporarily blocks #deportations of #Venezuelans held in northern #Texas
By Nicholas Riccardi, April 19, 2025
"The Supreme Court on Saturday blocked, for now, the deportations of any Venezuelans held in northern Texas under an 18th-century wartime law.
"In a brief order, the court directed the Trump administration not to remove Venezuelans held in the #BluebonnetDetentionCenter 'until further order of this court.'
"Justices #ClarenceThomas and #SamuelAlito dissented.
"The high court acted in an emergency appeal from the American Civil Liberties Union contending that immigration authorities appeared to be moving to restart removals under the #AlienEnemiesAct of 1798. The Supreme Court had said earlier in April that deportations could proceed only if those about to be removed had a chance to argue their case in court and were given 'a reasonable time' to contest their pending removals.
" 'We are deeply relieved that the Court has temporarily blocked the removals. These individuals were in imminent danger of spending the rest of their lives in a brutal Salvadoran prison without ever having had any due process,' ACLU lawyer Lee Gelernt said in an email."

#SamuelAlito, like #ClarenceThomas, is a very deeply stupid person. But he doesn't need to be smart, all he needs to do is serve power, and any dumbfuck can do that. #scotus
