Quite the quote from the lawyer for the Salvadoran man who was deported in "error":

“There’s no limiting principle to that lawlessness. [It represents] the ultimate supremacy of power over law. We’re asking the court to reaffirm the supremacy of law over power.”

1. Excellent in stating the matter and in brevity. nt

2. 'Power over the Law' has always been Trump's goal.

And half of America (and half of Congress) seem just fine with that!

3. The sad thing is that they refuse yo get him out of that prison, saying they have no authority now.

So he’s just supposed to rot there. These people all need to rot in hell starting with Trump and his Gestapo leader Miller.

4. But can this move bring him back?

5. Channeling my Long-Dead Granny---

"Lock 'em up 'til the Maggots carry them through the key-hole". Make It So!!!!! We deserve to see Ironic Justice.

6. He has defined the entire Trump administration.

7. Years ago in college I found a nifty Latin formulation of what he said:

"Lex Rex > Rex Lex."

Translation: "The Law is King" is greater than "The King is Law."

Kudos to the unknown guy who came up with it!

8. Somebody in the administration needs to be in jail over this.

And it needs to be someone senior enough that it will be noticed. And they need to be in jail until this man is brought back to the US, where he had a legal right to be.
