Summary
Justice Amy Coney Barrett sided with the Supreme Court’s three liberal justices to co-sign key parts of Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s blistering dissent in a 5-4 ruling allowing Trump to resume deportations of alleged Venezuelan gang members.
The four female justices warned the deportations could “have life or death consequences” for detainees sent to El Salvador’s CECOT mega-prison without judicial review.
Right-wing figures erupted, branding Barrett a “DEI hire” and “disgraceful.”
Influencers like Mike Cernovich and Charlie Kirk accused her of betraying conservative values despite past praise.
Gotta wonder how long until he tries to fire the women from the Supreme Court
Due process exists for a reason. Like making sure you have the right guy.
If you have the wrong guy, just grab another guy! Easy! Do that until no more guys exist.
“Alien Enemies can be given a life sentence without chance of parole in a notorious prison in another country with no hearing or trial, and we will not provide any information to the judiciary whatsoever to allow for any amount of oversight.” For arguments sake, let’s accept that insanity as a true and just statement. Without oversight, without due process, what happens when you make a mistake of identity? “Just trust us”. What happens when you stretch the definition of “alien enemy” past where it should apply? “Just trust us”. What happens when you mistakenly or intentionally target innocents and citizens who are constitutionally guaranteed due process? “Just trust us!” No! Even if you weren’t the most untrustworthy, corrupt, evil fucks to ever hold power, no! I wouldn’t trust Gandhi not to make an occasional mistake. Due process is the BARE MINIMUM you can do to double check facts and mitigate risk of abuse of power.
If anyone can be denied due process, ANYONE and EVERYONE can be denied due process. That means you and me, your parents, your spouse, your children. Remember that

Honestly a good thing…
Very visible “first they came for” moment. It’s not huge, but for some reason everyone is desperate to make excuses for why white women keep voting for trump, this will hurt Republicans numbers with that demographic more than parading around Liz Cheney
I’d like to see Dems run with this and highlight how the second the right doesn’t need you, you’re one of “them”.
I really thought she’d just be another republican ghoul.
If you dont kiss the ring, you’re a traitor and a DEI hire. First rule of fascism, you don’t question dear leader.
