We live in a society where foreign alien terrorists have unlimited free legal representation.
But Americans whose communities have been stolen from them are left without recourse.
We are rebalancing the scales.

This is shameful lawlessness and cowardice from the conservative justices.
You expect this nonsense from the three leftists.
Are they trying to destroy the federal judiciary’s legitimacy?

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: Late last night SCOTUS directed Trump not to remove any aliens under Alien Enemies Act based on a "putative class" meaning there is NO certified class action yet. So much for norms! 1/
https://x.com/ProfMJCleveland/status/1913586680088481870
2/ What makes SCOTUS' decision even more "norm" breaking is that it acted before allowing 5th Cir. to act and 5th Cir. actually dismissed appeal & request as "premature" because it is "a court of review" and district court needs a chance to rule.
3/ Also key is what 5th Cir. said….this is about "named petitioners"–a class was never certified so why in the world is a court entering an order related to a non-existent plaintiff?
4/ Pivoting here to make a different point: I totally get SCOTUS's concern. It appears Trump Administration is allowing only meager process that is not what is "due," although what is "due" is flexible under circumstances & that is debatable. NOW don't @ me… re "due process"
5/ It really is appalling that we must provide "due process" to remove people who entered our country "illegally" and who ignored the "due" "process" we provided for entry. So my "heart" might not care they get 24 hours notice, but my "brain" recognizes rule of law issue.
6/ And that is what prompted SCOTUS to act too. I get that. BUT what is infuriating is that SCOTUS is all about norms to NOT stop the lower court's clearly unconstitutional conduct when it is against Trump.
7/ SCOTUS is either for "norms" and prudent about allowing lower courts to sort things out that are politically charged or it isn't. By intervening hereespecially given 5th Cir.'s opinion re "court of review"SCOTUS is showing it too is a political creature.
8/ Also, FTR: I think this is actually another "punt" by Roberts to delay the removal until the lower courts can enter the stay that SCOTUS did & then SCOTUS will deny the application, as they did in several Trump cases, which resulted in Trump victories. HUGE difference here…
9/ In Trump Applications, lower courts had gone too far & on merits SCOTUS should have entered injunction for Trump, so the "punt" stay wasn't improper–SCOTUS should have even gone further. NOT HERE: Here SCOTUS entered STAY where there are no plaintiffs!!! Stay is improper.
10/ To simplify: This is a "putative" class action, which means a "wanna-be," but until class is certified there are only 2 Plaintiffs & Trump isn't removing them. Yet SCOTUS entered stay applying to entire nonexistent "class." That Stay is improper, unlike in Trump Application.
11 The irony here is that even Judge Boasberg said I'm troubled, but "I just can't do anything" . . . because he followed SCOTUS' decision. But now, SCOTUS ignores everything in granting stay, proving they are no longer about prudence but policy!

Mike Davis explains with Lara Logan the real reason for the Donald Trump Mar-a-Lago raid
Yet again, it’s Hillary Clinton. It’s always the same bad actors
“They declassify via presidential order the day before Trump leaves office. They declassified Crossfire Hurricane. They waited too long, and then he declassifies them on January 19, 2021, the day before he leaves office.
The FBI, the intel agencies run into the White House and they say, you can't publicly release these sources and methods.
So Mark Meadows, the chief of staff, issued a memoir on January 20, the day they leave office. January 20, 2021. Do your privacy act review and then get out these documents. Well, guess what? Of course they didn't get out the documents.
They did the Mar A Lago raid. That was the point of the Mar A Lago raid was to go get back those documents.
What happened was is that after Trump left office, he sued Hillary Clinton for Crossfire Hurricane civil lawsuit down in Florida. Bruce Reinhart's the magistrate judge on the case. Trump's attorneys raised the fact that he was anti Trump.
He posted anti Trump things on Facebook, and so he had to recuse from that case. I remember 6 weeks later, Bruce Reinhart is the magistrate judge who signs the Mar A Lago raid.
— The point of the Mar A Lago raid was to get back Crossfire Hurricane. It was not for classified records. Presidents have classified records all the time. They're allowed to have their presidential records, classified or not, under the Presidential Records Act.
If the CIA is giving the president a document to advise him, that's a presidential record that the president can access anytime he wants. That's why he has the security clearances. Even when he's not the president anymore.
— They get away with it over and over and over again. I mean, John Brennan, Susan Rice, James Clapper, Hillary Clinton, Mark Elias, you know, I mean, all of these people, Jake Sullivan, they got to do it to Trump the first time around, and then nothing happened to them”
