DrWeb<p><strong>Civil Discourse with Joyce Vance – SCOTUS to Trump: Due Process!</strong></p><blockquote><p><strong>SCOTUS to Trump: Due Process!<br>Alito and Thomas dissent</strong></p><p>By Joyce Vance, May 17, 2025</p><p>Friday afternoon, the Supreme Court ruled 7-2 In one of the many immigration cases currently in the courts as a result of Trump’s deportation of alleged Tren de Aragua gang members without any due process. In A.A.R.P. v. Trump, the Court enjoined the government from summarily deporting alleged gang members under the Alien Enemies Act while litigation over the constitutionality of those deportations works its way through the courts.</p><p>The decision is a per curiam opinion, which means no single justice signed it, but it represents the view of seven of them. <a href="https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24pdf/24a1007_g2bh.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">You can read the full decision here</a>. It runs to 24 pages, and is worth spending some time with, if only to get the Court’s tone. Suffice it to say, the majority is displeased with the government.</p><p>This was not a full decision on the merits of the case, which, when it happens, will determine whether Trump can use the Alien Enemies Act to deport alleged gang members. This decision was another of the type we’ve seen frequently since Trump retook office, an effort to prevent him from going ahead with a scheme of dubious legality while the courts determine whether that scheme is legal. The Court wrote, “To be clear, we decide today only that the detainees are entitled to more notice than was given on April 18, and we grant temporary injunctive relief to preserve our jurisdiction while the question of what notice is due is adjudicated.</p><p>Editor’s Note: The linked above PDF is also available via my Blog.

DrWeb<p><strong>Civil Discourse with Joyce Vance – Does Trump Get To Decide Who Is An American? – Substack</strong></p><p><strong>The stakes are high, even though the Supreme Court won’t be deciding, at least not yet, whether Trump’s order to end birthright citizenship is constitutional.</strong></p><p><a href="https://substack.com/@joycevance" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">By Joyce Vance</a>, May 14, 2025</p><p>Tomorrow, the Supreme Court will hear oral argument in the Birthright Citizenship Case, <em>Trump v. Casa, Inc. </em>We’re here because Donald Trump is intent on usurping as much of the power of government as he can into his own hands. And what is more fundamental than assigning citizenship? We know that Trump wants people from Mexico, Central America, South America, the Middle East, and Asia out of the country. But he’s okay with white Afrikaners from South Africa, even willing to bring them in, give them benefits, and put them on a fast track to citizenship. Deporting people to gulags in El Salvador and abducting students and others from their neighborhoods are part and parcel of this. Trump is, quite literally, trying to define the complexion of America.</p><p>Source Links: <a href="https://joycevance.substack.com/p/does-trump-get-to-decide-who-is-an?utm_source=substack&amp;publication_id=607357&amp;post_id=163338260&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=share&amp;utm_campaign=email-share&amp;triggerShare=true&amp;isFreemail=true&amp;r=1gx2e&amp;triedRedirect=true" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://joycevance.substack.com/p/does-trump-get-to-decide-who-is-an</a></p> <p><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/birthright-citizenship/" target="_blank">#BirthrightCitizenship</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/citizenship/" target="_blank">#Citizenship</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/civil-discourse/" target="_blank">#CivilDiscourse</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/joyce-vance/" target="_blank">#JoyceVance</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/substack/" target="_blank">#Substack</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/supreme-court/" target="_blank">#SupremeCourt</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/trump/" target="_blank">#Trump</a></p>

Orrock<p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/joycevance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>joycevance</span></a> There is no foreign military action to justify President Trump’s intended invocation of this act, making his actions not only unlawful but an outright assault on fundamental rights. This is yet another dangerous overreach by the administration, designed to support an unchecked mass deportation program, all while bypassing the necessary judicial review,” said Arthur Spitzer, senior counsel at the ACLU of the District of Columbia.</p>
Orrock<p>From <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/joycevance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>joycevance</span></a> <br>He also argued that being barred from government buildings didn’t mean the firm couldn’t practice law. He said that during Covid, lawyers conducted their work from home. An incredulous Judge Howell read the language of the executive order to him, and it was clear that it was much broader than the way he presented it. Judge Howell clarified that it prohibits government offices and employees from “engaging” with Perkins Coie lawyers, which would seem to make ongoing work impossible.</p>
