  1. The language was the result of negotiations between the justices, sure. I won't say who orchestrated it. I agree about the fireworks. Can we all just feel a little bit good about the fact that the Supreme Court didn't suck Trump's dick?
  2. It was 9-0. The reason it is unsigned is so that no particular justice gets assassinated over it. What it does, in practice, is this - it doesn't decide whether the federal court exceeded it's authority, which is the big, huge Constitutional bugaboo. Instead, it gave the district court a shot at language that wouldn't offend the executive's foreign affairs authority, it also gives the government a chance to comply and bring the guy back without having to answer the big question. They even signaled what word to use, "direct." It's basically saying, "Okay, pres., your move. But if you force the issue you are not going to like the answer."
  3. It's pronounced, "Ekki, ekki, ekki, ekki, ptang."
  4. Jesus. Fine. If I win you have to come on here and say, "Ekki-Ekki-Ekki-Ekki-PTANG."
  5. So, agree with everyone here, or else?
  6. AI Overview Learn more A "gentleman's bet" typically refers to a wager, often involving no money, where the agreement to honor the outcome is based on honor and sportsmanship, rather than a formal contract.
  7. Et tu, immamac?
  8. Non-histrionicism? It's sad that a guy with some faith in the system gets insulted and shouted down like this. No dissenting opinions allowed? Sounds familiar. I haven't lost all hope yet, and for good reason. None of this shit has played out, despite what anyone says. If all of you really believed that the Republic was dead, why haven't you done something? I mean, something other than lament it on the internet. If the courts abandon the Constitution and bend the knee or if Trump Co. openly violates a final court order, then I'll believe it's over.
  9. You don't have to do anything; that's what a gentleman's bet is. If it turns out I'm wrong I will be the first to accept and admit it. I will also be the first out on the street with my torch and pitchfork. Nope. Just following the directions of the U.S. Supreme Court.
  10. File a habeas petition in the jurisdiction where I'm detained. If they ship me off before I can do that then I also claim a violation of the 5th Amendment for lack of due process. My case will go through the courts and, if the courts follow the law (and their most recent opinion), I will be returned.
  11. Gentleman's bet?
  12. I know. What hasn't happened yet is that the case has not reached the end. Gentleman's bet - the courts will order him returned and he will be. You also can't read or understand legal opinions.
  13. You have lost your fucking mind.
  14. You and Wildcat and Fudge Nuggets and Dahobbs can writhe around in ashes while wearing your sackcloth and wail about things that haven't actually happened yet, that's fine. I'll pass. I'm not blind. I see what's happening. Bad things have happened, but the courts have not had their final say on any of them. This most recent opinion is not a bellwether or the final word. It's a step in the process. Get ahold of yourselves.
  15. Sorry, dude. You're wrong. From SCOTUSblog: The court made clear that – as the government agrees – the plaintiffs, as well as others who may be detained or removed under the AEA, are entitled to be notified “that they are subject to removal under the Act.” Moreover, the court added, addressing an argument made by lawyers for the plaintiffs during oral arguments in the lower courts, the government must provide that notice “within a reasonable time and in such a manner as will allow them to actually seek habeas relief in the proper venue before such removal occurs.” You have issues.
  16. @Firemans4Horn@Brisketexan What? The opinion gives due process rights to the detained and says that they have to have their habeas petitions heard where they are detained. It also didn't reach the big question, which is whether the AEA applied. This hasn't played all the way out yet.
  17. Just because a justice sides with one side or the other on an opinion does not mean they have abandoned the Constitution or are a toady for the administration. This opinion, though on the surface is a win for Trump, actually gives rights to the detained. It's more of an opinion about procedure than substance.
  18. We'll see.
  19. No A/C in South Texas until I was 15. Burned our trash. Never ate Spam or Vienna sausages or bolonga or any of that shit; don't know why. Santa was a cheap bastard too.
  20. A message board poster named Tuco knows more about the global economy than the president of the United States and all of his advisors. That is something. (No offense. Good post.)
