00:00So

00:27for the Supreme Court to weigh in

00:29at 1 a.m. on a Saturday,

00:31on a holiday weekend, no less,

00:33tells you that the Supreme Court

00:35does not have faith that the government

00:37of the United States of America

00:39will follow through on

00:41the orders that it receives

00:43from the Supreme Court. That is a

00:45dire and telling

00:47circumstance.

00:57The Supreme Court

01:27is a good idea.

01:34So what was clearly

01:36transpiring last night

01:38up until the ACLU

01:40filed this lawsuit

01:42in the middle of the night

01:43was that preparations were being made

01:45to outright defy

01:47the will of the Supreme Court

01:49and to deport these individuals without any

01:51process whatsoever.

01:53That is troubling.

01:57When it comes to providing

02:13a small modicum of information

02:16to the judicial branch to determine

02:17what so that the judicial branch

02:19can determine the legality

02:21or illegality of what the government

02:23is doing, they're turning around

02:24and saying, we can't provide

02:26that to you or we refuse to provide

02:28that to you on grounds of

02:29state secrets.

02:30A state secret is what Pete

02:33Hegg says and the other

02:35members of the defense

02:36community were discussing

02:38on the Houthi group chat.

02:40That's a state secret.

02:42This is a flight,

02:43departure, and arrival time.

02:44So to turn around and say

02:46that information is not

02:48secret for purposes of propaganda,

02:50but is so secret that you can't

02:53tell it to a federal judge,

02:54even in camera,

02:56even just on a private basis

02:57before the judge and the judge alone,

03:00is the kind of credibility gap

03:02that we are not accustomed to seeing

03:05in the executive branch.

03:06And I just asked the president,

03:27you know, it's this massive complex

03:29that he built, jail complex.

03:31I said, can you build some more

03:32of them, please?

03:33As many as we can get out of our country

03:36that we're allowed in here.

03:37What the government is engaged in now,

03:39even if you agree with the policy,

03:41as some in America clearly do,

03:44is unreasonable from the standpoint

03:46of not providing anything resembling

03:50an adequate window of time

03:53for individuals to challenge

03:55whether or not they are appropriately

03:58or inappropriately being categorized

04:00as eligible for this rendition

04:05to a foreign country

04:06and one of the most notorious,

04:08brutal prisons in the entire world.

04:11even if one is purely self-interested

04:29and cares not at all

04:31about other human beings,

04:33there is nothing,

04:35even if you are a citizen,

04:37even if you are a law-abiding citizen,

04:39to prevent the government

04:41from rounding you up,

04:44whisking you away

04:46to a foreign country

04:47without any process.

04:50And if you say,

04:50well, that would never happen

04:51because I would show them

04:53I'm a citizen.

04:54The answer to that response

04:57is simple.

04:58The only way that your opportunity

05:00to argue that

05:02would ever be meaningful

05:03would be if there were due process,

05:06which is to say,

05:08if you take due process away from one,

05:11there is nothing to prevent

05:13that deprivation of due process

05:16from being applied to anyone else,

05:19citizen or non-citizen.

05:22Due process is the thing.

05:24It is the single characteristic

05:27of a civilized society

05:29that is non-negotiable.

05:32is the single characteristic

05:50of the human being.

05:51But if we don't know

05:52about it,

05:53we are not doing this

05:54on the internet

05:55or whether it is a civilized society

05:56that is not meant to be

05:57or not to be.

05:58It won't be.

05:59It won't be.

06:00It won't be.
