Will/can the SCOTUS do anything about this defiance? Do the US populace even care if their President encourages lawlessness and oppression?

@FreddieUK If they don’t then my country is no longer my country.

@KunsanVeteran I feel a mixture of sorrow and anger for your situation.

@FreddieUK As do I. It’s long past time that Americans stood up for our country.
I spent almost half my life in the military supporting our country. The draft dodger hid behind his pap’s legs.

@FreddieUK My understanding is that the relevant District Court judge can set a deadline for compliance and if that is not observed then sanctions can be applied against government officials - up to and including the Secretary of State.
At some point this will bounce back to the Supreme Court - and that's when things will become interesting.

@newjaninev2 tRUMP is in open defiance of the federal judge and ALL 9 MEMBERS OF THE SCOTUS
This is as close to a Constitutional Crisis as we have had since 1865

@KunsanVeteran Imagine if Garcia is dead—someone will have to answer for that—we aren’t Saudi Arabia or North Korea yet!

@newjaninev2 Our civil war started.

@newjaninev2 This is clearly criminal contempt. Someone should be incarcerated until Garcia is returned to the States.
If we go for “an eye for an eye”, I would say Melania Trump.
After all,Garcia’s wife is an American citizen…

@KunsanVeteran trump has openly and publicly floated the idea of sending american criminals to be imprisoned in El Salvador.
8th Amendment, anybody?
Habeus Corpus?
No?
How long before those who displease the current régime or individual cabal members simply - disappear?

@KunsanVeteran rubio tried to divert away to 'foreign policy'.
It has nothing to do with foreign policy - and he knows that.

The Eighth Amendment (Amendment VIII) to the United States Constitution protects against imposing excessive bail, excessive fines, or cruel and unusual punishments. This amendment was adopted on December 15, 1791, along with the rest of the United States Bill of Rights.
I called a retired Air Force JAG (the Air Force Corp of lawyers) and asked him if he thought deporting US citizens who were convicted violated the 8th Amendment. He told me that in his opinion it probably did. Along with depriving family members from visiting, etc. it would complicate any appeals or other legal matters.
