This is INSANE! Trump is asking the Supreme Court to bless his administration screwing up TO THE POINT THEY CEEDED CUSTODY OF A PERSON THEY DIDN’T HAVE LEGAL CUSTODY OVER and not require them to fix it?

If SCOTUS backs Trump here, literally all is lost. Due process will have NO MEANING if this isn’t fixed ASAP.

Remember, if they did it to this guy the only thing stopping them from doing it to you or me is dumb luck.

    Doesn’t matter if he was a citizen or not.

    You are right that it doesn’t matter in terms of constitutional protections, but it does matter in terms of how this case plays out.

    It’s one thing to ask a foreign country to send a US citizen back to the US. It’s a completely different thing to ask a country to send back one of their own citizens.

    Regardless of what you think of the charges that Garcia is being held on (and I fully agree that they’re completely bogus), the US is essentially asking that a foreign country send one of their own citizens back to the US so they can escape the foreign country’s own judicial system. That is just never, ever, ever going to happen. I’m not saying it’s right or wrong. I’m just saying no country is ever going to agree to it.
