The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit on Wednesday rejected the Trump administration's effort to lift U.S. District Judge James Boasberg's block on deportations under the Alien Enemies Act.

The Trump administration's attempt to remove alleged migrant gang members in that manner deprives the men of "even a gossamer thread of due process," Judge Patricia Millett wrote in her concurring opinion.

"The true mark of this great Nation under law is that we adhere to legal requirements even when it is hard, even when important national interests are at stake, and even when the claimant may be unpopular," she wrote. "For if the government can choose to abandon fair and equal process for some people, it can do the same for everyone."

The only concern I have is that this wasn't a unanimous decision. The dissenter objected on procedural grounds, saying the case should have been brought in Texas rather than DC.
