In reply to the discussion: BREAKING: Chief Justice Roberts has indefinitely blocked the court order requiring Kilmar Abrego Garcia's return tonight [View all]bluestarone
(22,199 posts)70. So confusing. Hope you're not taking that i'm arguing with you. Just trying to understand decisions coming down.
Just seems like the SC acted extremely FAST on the older law, with Roberts joining the right. Also saying (if i'm right) that a immigrant taken (arrested) like in Minnesota has to be tried in Texas? (knowing the 5th circuit will hear appeals) TSF has 6 judges on the 5th circuit i think. Why Texas? Anyway i do thank you for helping me try to understand this lawlessness. (seems like we are back in the 1800's where the rich owned the courts and judges.)

Yes, but that statement in no way guarantees a ruling. Only a response. A ruling might not follow

If you don't think the stay is indefinite, then what is the definite length of stay you think is imposed? (nt)

I know folks are pissed, but it would have been worse if he had denied the stay request

To clarify -- I'm not predicting how the full court will rule, or what position Roberts will take.

What i'm trying to understand, is why did Roberts give Garcia's lawyers until 5 pm Today to respond, but then

Roberts has tipped his hand as to which way he will be ruling. No more unexpected rulings

The stay is indefinite. We have no indication for when their next order would come lifting the stay.
