I don't know the answer to the following:
Is the current state of the law that a federal appellate judge can say "Okay, for this area of the country, I am issuing an injunction that ICE can no longer operate until they submit a report to a court monitor explaining corrective actions they will take and if anyone violates that order I will have us marshals arrest them?"
because i am under the impression that the new decision is they can't do that. that it would be challenged immediately, the sc would against say you can't issue blanket injunctions that impact federal policy, and nothing would occur.
i believe my unrelated examples were related, so we disagree. this isn't a court briefing, this is the internet: unemotional and narrow language has no place here.
You're arguing a different issue than I am.
First, your hypothetical has very little to do with how federal appellate courts actually function or the kinds of injunctions they issue. If you're going to discuss the scope of judicial authority, it helps to use examples that reflect how the courts actually operate.
Second, precision is the foundation of legal discussion. The fact that this is the internet doesn't somehow make factual accuracy or precise language irrelevant. My comment was a narrow factual correction to an incorrect statement about the judiciary. Nothing more.
Third, I'm not interested in taking the conversation where you're trying to take it. You seem to want a broad, emotionally charged debate about nationwide immigration policy. That's a perfectly separate discussion, but it isn't the one I was having.
Finally, I have no issue with emotion. Passion has its place. What it doesn't do is change how the law works. If the discussion is about the legal authority of federal courts, then the answer depends on legal precision, not rhetorical intensity.
