‘Likely To Win’: Jonathan Turley Gives Trump A Welcome Legal Update

Legal expert Jonathan Turley delivered encouraging news for the Trump administration this week, stating that the Supreme Court is likely to side with President Trump’s use of the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport over 200 members of the Venezuelan criminal gang Tren de Agua. Speaking on America’s Newsroom with Bill Hemmer, Turley said the legal debate surrounding the administration’s decision is “controversial” but that the courts are fully equipped to resolve it.

“There are certainly strong arguments for the administration to make here,” Turley began. “I think that we have to be honest that there are good faith arguments on both sides. This is a controversial law being used in a new way and there are legitimate questions as to the meaning of some of these terms.”

The legal dust-up began after Trump invoked the centuries-old law in mid-March, allowing for the rapid deportation of criminal non-citizens considered national security threats. Tren de Agua, which has been linked to a wave of criminal activity, became the first target.

But after a federal judge blocked the deportations and an appeals court upheld the decision, Trump’s legal team signaled it would take the fight to the Supreme Court. Turley says that’s exactly where the battle belongs.

I'd like to think that Turley is correct, but because of Roberts, I have my doubts.

In a perfect world, he might be correct.  But this is far from a perfect world or perfect legal system.  Roberts can't have a Trump win as it will show Bondi is correct and there are federal judges who are too biased to be impartial as required.
