Over the Easter weekend, the Supreme Court issued a remarkable order in the wee hours of Saturday morning blocking President Donald Trump from immediately removing a group of Venezuelan immigrants from a detention center in Texas and, potentially, sending them to a notorious prison in El Salvador.

In an extraordinary, if perhaps temporary, rebuke to the Trump administration, the Supreme Court issued an order at around 1 a.m. on Saturday forbidding the government from deporting a group of Venezuelan nationals under the Alien Enemies Act.

The ruling, by a presumed seven-to-two vote, signaled genuine fury at the failure of Trump officials to abide by the law and, even more to the point, the directives of judges, including those on the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday appeared likely to rule for parents in Maryland who objected on religious grounds to books made available in a school district's elementary schools that feature stories about gay and transgender characters.

Members of the 6-3 conservative majority, which often backs religious rights, seemed sympathetic during the lively 2½-hour oral argument toward the parents’ claims that the Montgomery County Board of Education violated their religious rights by failing to provide an opt-out for their children.

A majority of the Supreme Court appeared inclined Monday to reject a conservative challenge to Obamacare, leaving in place the federal government’s authority to require insurers to cover everything from depression screenings to HIV prevention drugs at no cost to patients.

And, in an odd twist, it was the Trump administration defending the health law that the president has spent more than a decade excoriating.

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito faulted his colleagues for temporarily halting deportation flights under the Alien Enemies Act “literally in the middle of the night.”

Alito’s dissent, also sent out at nearly midnight Saturday, came after the court agreed in the early hours of the morning to block for now any additional flights that would transport migrants to a Salvadoran prison.

The Supreme Court is set to hear oral arguments in May on the Justice Department's emergency request to narrow a string of district court orders blocking President Donald Trump's executive order that would restrict birthright citizenship from taking effect.

While the Trump administration has not yet asked the high court to rule on the constitutionality of the president's order, it has requested that the justices address the use of universal injunctions, which go far beyond the parties involved in a case to apply to anyone who could be affected.

President Trump’s firing spree of independent agency leaders is running into a 90-year-old Supreme Court case that judges have used to block many of those ousters.

Now Mr. Trump’s allies are looking to the Supreme Court to overturn the case, or at least carve out new exceptions to justify the president’s house cleaning.

Suddenly, the Supreme Court Is Good

The Nation’s Elie Mystal writes that Trump has been “racking up some wins at the Supreme Court and the answer for why is simple: John Roberts is a feckless coward.”

“He’s like a cop in Uvalde, cowering outside waiting for the shooting to stop, instead of doing his job,” Mystal said in a post on X sharing his column about the Court’s “rubber stamp rulings.”
