I’ve read probably thousands of court opinions in my time on this planet — some dry, some hyper-technical, some befuddling, and yes, some entertaining. But I’m not sure I’ve ever hooted out loud while reading one before. I did just now. And so, dear readers, I couldn’t wait to share it with you. 

Now, the context is serious in nature. This is the continuation of the removal of Tren de Aragua (TdA) members pursuant to the Alien Enemies Act (AEA) saga. When last we left you, the Supreme Court had offered up another head-scratcher via its opinion, handed down on Friday, in the A.A.R.P. v. Trump case. As explained in my reporting on that case on Friday:

In doing so, the court reiterated that detainees subject to removal under the Alien Enemies Act (AEA) are entitled to proper notice and, without specifying what that notice should be, affirmed that “notice roughly 24 hours before removal, devoid of information about how to exercise due process rights to contest that removal, surely does not pass muster.”
