This all started when I said the Roberts court would follow the Constitution. They did. From there, I have no faith in Trump Co. whatsoever. I don't know if they will follow a Supreme Court order or not. No one does. We may find out soon. What I recognize, that you aren't, is that this is a process; a very delicate one. It's not over. You keep saying it's over and that proves that the republic is done, the Supreme Court are proven stooges, etc. etc., when it's not actually over. The SCOTUS opinion was worded in a very specific way. Without knowing for sure, I would bet that in their deliberations Roberts called for 9-0 to send a message and in exchange the conservatives got their language about due regard to executive power over foreign affairs. One thing this accomplished is that it gave Trump the ability to avoid a showdown. He's fucking around, being a dick about it, of course. Not answering the federal judge's questions, spouting bullshit. Fine, douchebag. The statement from Bukele was made while he was sitting in a room with Trump. As a sycophantic pawn, what the fuck else would you expect him to say? If Trump tells him to release the man, he will release him. Simple as that.
What this will boil down to, I believe, is public opinion. It's politics. Do a majority of Americans believe Abrego Garcia should be returned? Does that political analysis dictate that it would be politically advantageous to bring him back, or disadvantageous to not do so? Same question with respect to defying the courts - politically good or bad? I think the wonks are trying to crank out the answers and that's what everyone is waiting for. I think it's close, which is why it has taken as long as it has already.
