As usual, more fake news. The decision was that the Trump Administration was to "facilitate" the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, which means that the US must accept him back if El Salvador wishes to send him back to the US.
Guess what.
El Salvador plans on keeping him in prison. As such, the Trump administration is in full compliance with the court order.
For as long as I can recall, the left has been gleefully mangling the English language, and this latest fiasco is just another exhibit in their linguistic butcher shop. Take today’s Harvard graduates, some of whom seem to think “facilitate” is a fancy synonym for, what, “orchestrate a jailbreak” or “mastermind a kidnapping”?
Do they genuinely believe the Supreme Court can order the President to strong-arm another nation into handing over a citizen for our so-called due process? For you left-wingers, that was a rhetorical question. Newsflash: that would just mean deportation back to El Salvador. This is basic stuff, yet here we have the educated liberal elite, poker-faced, pretending to read the Court’s order in a way that paints Trump as the defiant villain in their melodrama.
Here’s a question. Did I miss the part of the Constitution where the Supreme Court gets to boss the President around like a glorified hall monitor? Last I checked, the Court’s job is to interpret the Constitution, not to play puppet master with the Executive. The President runs the Executive, Congress handles Congress, and the Supreme Court keeps the courts in line.
If anything, the Court should be delivering a sharp rebuke to judges who’ve forgotten their role and overstepped their bounds. And no, I’m not here for a lecture on landmark cases proving the Court’s authority, so save your breath. My point is that the Supreme Court has been wrong before.
It’s just a handful of ordinary folks, prone to the same blunders as anyone else. Right now, we’ve got a few justices who seem to have mislaid their grasp of the very document they’re sworn to uphold, waving their biases like flags despite their duty to stay neutral.
This is exactly why the Founders didn’t hand any one branch the keys to the kingdom. When the Court starts acting like it can dictate terms to the other branches, we’re not far from swapping self-governance for a petty bureaucratic fiefdom. Sure, I might’ve veered off course a bit there, but cut me some slack, it’s early, and my 2nd cup of coffee’s still brewing.
