ges: ...granting himself sweeping wartime powers to deport noncitizens—without due process...

So we have a convicted felon who believes he should be the last word on our laws and their enforcement -- which kinda' sorta' sounds unconstitutional -- and despite Judge Boasberg agreeing with the ACLU that the terms of the Alien Enemies Act apply only to “enemy nations” and temporarily blocking deportations under it, the Trump White House defied the judge's order and declined to turn the planes around and return the men.

And then after last night claiming they had not "defied" the judge, this morning ICE Administrator Homan said: "We're not stopping. I don't care what the judges think. I don't care what the left thinks. We're coming."

And that kinda' sorta' sounds like contempt.

No doubt this is the case that the Trump White House wants in front to the Supreme Court, rolling the dice to make himself King or dictator, or whichever title you prefer. He clearly looking for the high court to give him the power to arrest, detain, and deport all migrants over the age of 14 without due process, as well as the power to determine who is a gang member without due process.

BTW, we have no evidence that the men deported were gang members, and now they have vanished into a gulag outside the reach of the American justice system.

Of course we'll all argue that the Trump White House would never be so emboldened to disappear journalists or critics or trans individuals or gays or... on second thought, we're entered unchartered territory and all bets are off.

And even if the Supreme Court turns aside King Donald and rules against him, would this not be the perfect situation for him to defy the high court? And then what? Will republicans in Congress have the courage to bring articles of impeachment or will the grand experiment end?

My money is not on congressional republicans.
