Fight fiercely, Harvard!
Fight, fight, fight!
Demonstrate to them our skill.
Albeit they possess the might,
Nonetheless we have the will.

"The White House is now brazenly ignoring the crystal clear import and goal of the Supreme Court’s order ... The Court will now rapidly have to decide whether to knuckle under to this institutional humiliation or stand its ground. I don’t know which course it will choose. But I am very eager to find out."

They're defying ALL the court orders. It's a dictatorship now, and they want to make sure you know.

Trump could have said to Bukele: "We'd like him back."

That would have complied with the court order, at least in part. But no. He prefers to flaunt his contempt.

"Here’s the thing: Once you give up the idea that we are all equal before the law and have the right to due process, you have given up the whole game. Once you have replaced the principle of equality before the law with the idea that some people have no rights, you have granted your approval to the idea of an authoritarian government. At that point, all you can do is to hope that the dictator and his henchmen overlook you."
