According to former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) the Supreme Court late Thursday left no doubt that won't give Donald Trump's administration a free pass to snatch people off the street and ship them out of the country without due process.
During an appearance on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," the blunt-speaking former lawmaker stated the court's rebuke, with regard to the arrest and shipping of 29-year-old Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia to a prison in El Salvador, has put Trump's DOJ on notice.
Speaking with co-host Joe Scarborough, McCaskill explained, "I think [Chief Justice John] Roberts wanted a 9-0; I think he wanted everybody in the boat and so they kind of played games with the semantics of this, this 'effectuate' versus 'facilitate.'"

"The bottom line is this Supreme Court has unanimously told Donald Trump, you can't race to the airport with a bunch of people and get them out of the country and then claim you can do nothing about it," she continued. "That no longer can happen, that game is over, and that's really the takeaway here."
She then added, "This and we had a Trump judge yesterday also basically citing the Supreme Court saying you've got to give notice, you've got to have a hearing and that's really what I think we need in this country is the court to unanimously, even if the language was a little hinky, and they're going to have to go back and figure out the difference."
"It's still is very strong that our Supreme Court unanimously said, 'No, Donald Trump. You can't do this, not in the United States of America,'" she concluded.
