Third-Country Deportations Are Only the Half of It

SO THE PART THAT GOT ME IS THIS—HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT THIS YET? NO? WELL LISTEN, APPARENTLY THE NEW YORK TIMES SAYS THE ROBERTS COURT IS FINALLY SHOWING US REAL-WORLD CONSEQUENCES, WHICH IS WILD BECAUSE THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT THIRD-COUNTRY DEPORTATIONS AS IF THAT IS JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG, AND HONESTLY I DO NOT EVEN KNOW THE REST OF THE STORY BECAUSE THE PIECE IS AN OPINION EDITORIAL, BUT APPARENTLY THIS IS THE START OF SOMETHING BIGGER THAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE WATCHING, AND IT FEELS LIKE EVERYTHING IS SHIFTING UNDER OUR FEET RIGHT NOW. DAMN. ANYWAY THE DJ IS COOKING, LET US GO.

OK IMAGINE WAKING UP TO THIS, JUST SCROLLING AND SEEING THE NEW YORK TIMES DROPPING A PIECE ABOUT HOW THE ROBERTS COURT IS ACTUALLY RESHAPING REALITY, AND IT IS NOT JUST ABOUT THE DEPORTATIONS TO THIRD COUNTRIES—THAT IS APPARENTLY JUST THE HALF OF IT, SO NOW I AM SITTING HERE WONDERING WHAT THE OTHER HALF IS BECAUSE THEY DO NOT SAY, BUT THE VIBE IS THAT THE JUDICIARY IS DOING WAY MORE THAN WE REALIZE AND THE CONSEQUENCES ARE JUST NOW BECOMING VISIBLE. IS THAT NOT INSANE? I FEEL LIKE WE ARE ALL MISSING THE BIGGER PICTURE HERE. OK ENOUGH, WHERE ARE YOUR FRIENDS?

A New York Times opinion piece argues that recent U.S. Supreme Court rulings on third-country deportations are only a small part of the broader, emerging consequences of the Roberts court.
