Welcome to another edition of The Oath and the Office.

I am John Fuglesang so honored to be here with a man like Corey Brett Schneider.

Every week on the show, Professor Brechtzschneider brings his

Ivy League brilliance, his constitutional gravitas, and of course his lustrous career as a best-selling

author. And I am here for balance. It's great to have you all. Professor Corey Brechtnter, good to see you.

Thanks, John. Always a pleasure. And, you know, I would have thought that

hopefully the crisis of democracy was over, but no, we're still in the midst of it. We get the

Supreme Court chiming in, and we'll talk about that. And, of course, we have lots to discuss.

And most excitedly, I'm happy to let people know that in the second half, we're going to have one of the

really world's premier commentators on constitutional law in the Supreme Court, Dahlia Lithwick.

And so this is going to be a great episode.

I'm thrilled to have her with us.

And there's so much to cover, Corey.

I had all these jokes written about J.D.

Vance and the Pope, but let's just dive right into it because we need to talk about what's

happening with these renditions to South America. I can't call it deportations anymore, Corey.

Deportations are legal. Deportations are sending migrants back to the country where they came.

Sending people without due process to a third-party country for torture, it's renditioning, it's kidnapping, it's trafficking.

And so the Supreme Court seems to have put a halt to some of these deportations for a while,

which is a good sign. Of course, Judge Alito dissented.

But what do you make of this?

That suddenly the Alien Enemies Act is not the sure thing we thought it was a few weeks ago.
