In a discussion on the implications of the Trump administration's defiance of a federal judge's order regarding deportation flights, Claire McCaskill emphasized that this standoff could escalate to the Supreme Court. She pointed out that justices Roberts and Barrett are not aligned with the more extreme MAGA agendas, indicating a potential judicial response to the administration's disregard for court rulings. McCaskill warned that ongoing defiance of judicial orders could lead to a significant moment in legal history where the Supreme Court more clearly defines the bounds of executive power, possibly causing discomfort among the public.
As a practical matter, if the judge rules against the administration and they keep doing this... all these cases are going to wind up in the Supreme Court.
There's a lot of people who watch the Supreme Court closely who think they're going to go further than probably most Americans would be comfortable with, but nevertheless, they're going to decide.
