“The
President
of
the
United
States
of
America
is
at
war
with
the
Constitution
and
the
rule
of
law.”
—
J.
Michael
Luttig,
former
Fourth
Circuit
judge
and
conservative
legal
luminary,
in
remarks
on
MSNBC.
“All
of
us
could
have
predicted
this
day
would
come,”
Judge
Luttig
continued,
noting
that
Trump,
both
personally
and
through
his
administration,
has
been
openly
hostile
and
contemptuous
of
the
federal
judiciary
for
some
time.
The
open
defiance
of
the
Supreme
Court’s
unanimous
order
that
the
administration
must
act
to “‘facilitate’
Abrego
Garcia’s
release
from
custody
in
El
Salvador
and
to
ensure
that
his
case
is
handled
as
it
would
have
been
had
he
not
been
improperly
sent
to
El
Salvador,”
marks
uncharted
territory
in
this
conflict.
