No, I'm just acknowledging the fact that a lot of Western rhetoric on North Korea is ignorant, misleading, unhelpful and downright irresponsible. That does not mean I support Kim Jong Un (it takes a lot more than them being the target of bad propaganda for me to support any tyrant anywhere).

Better yet, move everyone who lives in North Korea to Bolivia and all the Bolivians to North Korea.

It's kind of reassuring that that's the only thing he can come up with to attack her: some pathetic non-story from the deepest corners of the online far right hate-orgy.

Fortunately for her, the Justice Department's case is pretty much completely dead. Both Roberts and Kennedy are not amused with the administration's argument that lying about trivialities on immigration forms is grounds for deportation. It seems that as it stands, the ruling will likely be at worst a 5-2 rebuke of the administration bizarre argument (With Chief Justice Roberts not needing to break a tie, obviously). The administration's argument is considered pretty damn ridiculous.

Actually they do seem amused by it. Roberts told a story about how he drove over the speed limit once ("beyond the statute of limitations") to essential mock the prosecution's case ... well all I know what the coverage that was on PBS Newshour, I happened to watch that yesterday.

When the judge is amused that is not a good sign!

Not disputing your version, eh. Roberts at least was not impressed with the government case.

Or worse. "Contempt" of citizenship is pretty strong language for a judge.

Their logic makes no God damn sense is what's happening.

Trump's logic is standing right on a landmine because this argument is ridiculous. The thing she lied on was not even a huge deal, to be honest, hence the "immaterial". It's not like she misrepresented herself. She represented herself with full awareness of her situation.

Now, while her husband might have served in the Serbian army, that's no reason to deport her. In a sense, Trump merely wants to win this court case, and, considering is his first big case before SCOTUS, he does want to seem like a winner at wrangling power from SCOTUS, which is part of why people elected him for.

However, I am not sure how does his logic, passed through the Justice Department and the Solicitor General, make any sort of sense whatsoever.

Because habits. When he fucks up and a business goes bankrupt he never had to face up to the consequences. If Seoul gets demolished because of his dementia-addled brain he'll do anything to avoid having to own up to getting a foreign city fucked up.
