I ask this seriously, no snark or point scoring intended:  were you aware, and if so, were you cool with Obama ordering the Hellfiring of an American citizen and his 16 year old son, even though the guy was a terrorist?  He had no due process other than a Situation Room briefing that said, "he's a bad guy."  

I'm not sorry the guy's dead, but I said then, and do now, that it was wrong.

As to your "equal branch" point, I almost agree.  Supreme Court = POTUS = full Congress vote.

I don't agree that a district court should be able to impose a nationwide anything regardless of what political party occupies the other branches.  So I hope the Supreme Court finally ends that practice once and for all.  Will be better for all.

As to a mass invasion and due process, that's a thing.  I don't have a complete answer.  But if Biden can arbitrarily let them in, why can't Trump boot them out?  Biden granted "paroles" and "temporary refugee" status to hundreds of thousands of Haitians, et al.  Why can't Trump remove that grant?

Point of order: the 16-year-old son was not specifically targeted but was armed & at dinner with multiple named objectives. Also, he was killed by GBU54 is not a hellfire.  Also, whoever found/fixed then lazed those bombs did not know the 16-year-old son was there, but had they known they would have killed him anyway 🇺🇸⚔️

Valid point of order.

But no due process for lethal punishment for two American citizens.

Again, well done to those carrying out the mission.  The planet is a better place with both the dad and the kid gone.

But no whining about an MS-13'er with multiple violent charges being sent back to his point of origin by mistake.  Any other country not in the US was valid according to the judge's original deportation order.

I'm not sure I agree with the interpretation that illegals are subject to due process *for deportation.*

 

Wanna put them in prison? Yep, they get the chance to appear in court. But deportation is simply the cessation of illegal occupation. Like I said before, no American gets due process before the cops can stop you from actively committing a crime. 

 

I believe in following the supreme court, but I'm not sure I agree with the ruling. This issue (and several others) needs a full hearing by SCOTUS.
