Looks like the Admin cannot simply sweep people up off the streets and send them to horrific prisons in Central America

The High Court ruled that there needs to be given both a court hearing and sufficient time to mount a defense

You are an illegal alien and a gang member.
What is your defense?
What?
You have no defense?
Buh-bye.

It was popular and abortion was very divisive. Stil is.

They couldn't pass a law back then because Republicans would have filibustered it. That was back when the filibuster was in full force.

SCOTUS took the decision away from Congress, the States and The People.

I am neither for nor against abortion but what SCOTUS did was unprecented and lead to all the Lawfare we're seeing today. When dimocrap scum can't their way in elections, in Congress or Legislatures, they run to Activist Judges.

I am, however, very much against Activist Judges. They are the bane of our Republic

It was not popular in 1973

With the free love counterculture, yeah.

Not with mainstream USA.

How has public opinion about abortion changed since Roe v. Wade?

States are a critical battleground over abortion rights, and polling reveals where opinions stand at the state and national level.

www.pbs.org

In 1973, when the Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision legalized abortion nationwide, public opinion was divided, with a Gallup poll showing 46% in favor and 45% opposed to permitting abortions in the first three months of pregnancy.

Here's a more detailed look:

• Roe v. Wade Decision:
  In 1973, the Supreme Court ruled in Roe v. Wade that a woman had the right to abortion, establishing a national right to abortion.
  
  
• Public Opinion:
  A Gallup poll in January 1973 found that public opinion on abortion was nearly evenly divided, with 46% favoring a law that would permit abortions in the first three months of pregnancy, 45% opposing it, and 9% undecided.
• 
  
• Two years after the court’s decision, 54 percent of U.S. adults said they supported abortion under certain circumstances and another 21 percent said abortion always should be legal, according to Gallup polling from 1975, while 22 percent of Americans said it should be illegal.
  
  By 2018, Gallup pollsters found little change, with 50 percent of Americans supporting abortion under certain conditions, another 29 percent of respondents supporting abortion no matter what and 18 percent of respondents saying it should be against the law, said Lydia Saad, senior editor at Gallup.

But NOT without due process as they have been doing....which is a win for all of us.

I'm aware of that, and yes it will likely slow down the effort to rid the country of Biden's flood, but the fact that Trump can use the Act to deport is a big relief.

Sotomayor excoriates 'inexplicable' decision to side with Trump admin in deportation case

Justice Sonia Sotomayor tore into the Trump administration and her colleagues with a scathing dissent in a case over the president's use of the Alien Enemies Act.

lawandcrime.com

She writes, the ruling "may have life or death consequences. Individuals who are unable to secure counsel, or who can not timely appeal an adverse judgement rendered by a habeas court, face the prospect of removal in to perilous conditions of El Salvador's CECOT, where detainees suffer egregious human rights abuses.........Anyone the Government mistakenly deports in its piecemeal and rushed implementation of the challenged Proclamation will face the same risk.

The implication of the Government's position is that not only noncitizens but also US citizens could be taken off the streets, forced on to planes, and confined to foreign prisons with no opportunity for redress if judicial review is denied unlawfully before removal.

History is no stranger to such lawless regimes, but this Nation's system of laws is designed to prevent, not enable, their rise."

Barrett did not join her conservative colleagues in the 5-4 vote. Roberts acquiescence to lawlessness is disappointing. It was expected from the other four.

The majority ignores trump's Proclamation is invalid on its face as we are not at war with Venezuela. Therefore it willfully ignores the extraordinary circumstance surrounding this case.

In summary: A leftist Supreme Court Justice decides a case with feelings instead of the law. She should be nowhere near our justice system.

4 out of 5 is not a majority ruling. The 4 dissenting reflect the ideological divide of our nation, FWIW.

Major Victory: Supreme Court Backs Trump’s Immigration Action​

...
In a major development for immigration enforcement and executive authority, the Supreme Court delivered a decisive 5-4 ruling in favor of President Trump’s administration, allowing immediate deportations of Venezuelan nationals under the rarely-invoked Alien Enemies Act of 1798. This pivotal decision marks a significant restoration of constitutional balance, pushing back against a growing trend of judicial overreach by lower court judges.

Historical Context and National Security​

The Alien Enemies Act grants the President substantial power during times of conflict to detain and deport citizens of hostile nations. Historically used during the War of 1812, World War I, and World War II, Trump’s invocation of this law specifically targets alleged members of the dangerous Venezuelan gang, Tren de Aragua. Administration officials have argued convincingly that these deportations are crucial to protecting American communities from violent criminal threats and terrorism.
....

Reinforcing Executive Authority​

This ruling firmly establishes that executive authority on critical national security issues, such as immigration enforcement and deportation of dangerous individuals, should not be undermined by district court judges operating beyond their jurisdictional boundaries. It sends a powerful message reinforcing the rule of law against political attempts to manipulate the judicial system.

The Supreme Court’s intervention was timely and essential. It reaffirmed that activist judges cannot be allowed to jeopardize America’s security or constitutional order through political injunctions.

In Florida around 6 PM they executed Michael Tanzi who protested he was too fat to execute. We will see about that said the Judge.

I expect every Democrat to side with the criminals who snuck into the USA trying not to get caught. Life is hard I want to tell them.

Sotomayor has a reputation for being dumb as a twopenny nail. She was the classic 0bama DEI hire. Completely unqualified, but checked four DEI boxes: brown, female, lesbo, leftwing activist. All she does is rail at the other justices after they overwhelmingly vote against her ridiculous opinions.
Frankly, we were better off when white landowning men ran all phases of government. That's just a fact.
