Andrew Weissman: 奥布雷戈-加西亚案中,政府错误地将奥布雷戈-加西亚先生驱逐到萨尔瓦多,违反了他的权利。最高法院已下令政府协助其释放,但政府却无所作为。政府声称其对奥布雷戈-加西亚先生的诽谤运动是危险的,因为它回避了正当程序。政府的这种做法是危险的,因为它可能会导致其滥用权力,甚至针对政治对手。威尔金森法官的裁决认为政府应该纠正其错误,并为奥布雷戈-加西亚先生提供正当程序。 在委内瑞拉移民驱逐案中,政府为了规避司法审查,将委内瑞拉人转移到没有临时限制令的拘留设施。政府匆忙驱逐委内瑞拉人,其目的是为了规避司法审查。政府的行为是出于恶意,而不是出于正当理由。政府应该遵守法院命令,而不是违反法院命令并诽谤法官和请愿人。 在大学学术自由方面,政府对大学的行动违反了第一修正案。政府对哈佛大学的冻结资金和威胁是报复性的。大学需要采取集体行动来应对政府的过度干预。可以对律师事务所或大学提起集体诉讼来应对政府的恐吓行为。 Mary McCord: 自2020年1月20日以来,我们很难选择和总结正在发生的事情,并以最佳方式向不太了解内情的人解释。在奥布雷戈-加西亚案中,政府应该出庭作证,解释其为协助奥布雷戈-加西亚先生返回所做的努力。政府认为“协助”其释放仅意味着在其到达美国海岸后才能采取行动,这与最高法院的意图相悖。威尔金森法官认为,政府声称有权将美国居民关押在外国监狱,而不遵守正当程序,这是令人震惊的。威尔金森法官警告说,政府不遵守正当程序的做法可能会导致其滥用权力,甚至针对政治对手。 在委内瑞拉移民驱逐案中,最高法院已裁定,政府不得在未给予驱逐出境者充分的正当程序的情况下驱逐出境。政府对委内瑞拉人的驱逐通知不充分,违反了最高法院的命令。政府匆忙驱逐委内瑞拉人,其目的是为了规避司法审查。最高法院的9-0裁决表明,政府的行为是不对的。即使是阿利托法官也重申了行政部门遵守法律的义务。 在大学学术自由方面,政府对大学的行动违反了第一修正案。最高法院将就出生公民权案件中全国禁令的范围进行辩论。将大学和律师事务所的案件作为集体诉讼比将移民案件作为集体诉讼更难。律师事务所与政府和解可能会损害律师的职业道德和对客户的忠诚义务。在出生公民权案件中,全国性禁令是合理的。

Shownotes Transcript

Andrew and Mary host this week's episode in front of a live audience at Princeton University, starting with the latest in the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case where last Tuesday, Maryland district judge Paula Xinis ordered the Trump administration to provide among other things, “butts in seats” to explain their efforts to get him back. Then they describe what led up to the Supreme Court’s early Saturday decision temporarily blocking the deportation of more Venezuelan migrants, after a flurry of back and forth between the Solicitor General and the ACLU. And being at Andrew’s alma mater, he and Mary hold up the absolute necessity of academic freedom and independence in the wake of Trump’s attempts to defund universities who do not comply with his demands. Last up, they touch on the Supreme Court granting argument in the birthright citizenship cases- not on the merits, but on whether a nationwide injunction is appropriate in this instance.

Further reading: HERE) is Judge Harvie Wilkinson’s sharply worded opinion, writing for a 3-judge panel in the US Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit, rejecting the Trump administrations effort to stop a lower court’s order that the government facilitate Kilmar Abrego Garcia's return.
