Unanimous order.
I expected a few judges to bite on the administration’s argument that once he is out of the country the courts are not in a position to legally do anything. They did not bite.
- treetalker 2y agoSotomayor's statement that the government's position "refutes itself" ought to have been in the full Court's order.

- duxup 2y agoThere are limits on what the judiciary can tell the other branches to do in regards to international relations. Having said that there’s nothing to indicate that applies in this case. In past cases, the courts have required the US government to bring someone back who was deported. It has been done before.
