Trump is still seething at the Supreme Court for halting his efforts to deport immigrants under the Alien Enemies Act without due process

On Saturday, Trump shared a post on Truth Social from lawyer Mike Davis, one of his most extreme MAGA allies, claiming that the Supreme Court put “an illegal injunction on the president of the United States, preventing him from commanding military operations to expel these foreign terrorists.”

Davis added in the post that Trump “should house these terrorists near the Chevy Chase Country Club, with daytime release.” (Supreme Court Justices John Roberts and Brett Kavanaugh both live in Chevy Chase, Maryland.)

Trump shared another post from Davis complaining that the justices had blocked Trump from deporting undocumented immigrants “without years of court process.” The president wrote, “The Supreme Court must come to the RESCUE OF AMERICA.”

    Everything the Supreme Court orders is “legal”, by definition. That’s what Supreme means. They have taken up the duty of the judicial department to say what the law is. There is no further appeal.

      People don’t just “think” anymore

      We are bred and raised the way we think by design through pollution, toxic media cultures, stagnated wages, lack of healthcare, underfunded education, and the list goes on

    And the poll found 85 percent of Americans believe that if the Supreme Court rules against the Trump administration on a policy or executive action, the Trump administration should follow the court’s ruling.

    So 15% want Trump to go full dictator and just ignore the Supreme Court and do whatever he wants? I wish I could say I was surprised.

      I’m surprised it’s not higher given his popularity with 30% of the population. I would have expected about that amount.

    If you didn’t vote, this is what you voted for.

    Wake the fug up! Chug one last beer, turn off that damn “Very Special ‘America’s Got Talent’,” and look around you. See that the United States of America that we knew, is gone. Dictatorship is the new reality.

    Then figure out what the hell you do from here, because your life WILL change. Not this year and maybe not next year. But darkness is coming.

    I just need to check. Is Chevy Chase, Maryland named after the comedian or the other way around?

      Possible, his family called him Chevy short for Cornelius. Might have been a knowing joke on their part but ostensibly there is no connection.

      From Wikipedia:

      The name is derived from Cheivy Chace, the name of the land patented to Colonel Joseph Belt from Charles Calvert, 5th Baron Baltimore, on July 10, 1725. It has historic associations with a 1388 chevauchée, a French word describing a border raid, fought by Lord Percy of England and Earl Douglas of Scotland over hunting grounds, or a “chace”, in the Cheviot Hills of Northumberland and Otterburn. The battle was memorialized in “The Ballad of Chevy Chase”.

      Chevy Chase [the actor] was named for his adoptive grandfather, Cornelius, while the nickname “Chevy” was bestowed by his grandmother from the medieval English ballad “The Ballad of Chevy Chase”. As a descendant of the Scottish Clan Douglas, she thought the name appropriate.
