> Could he theoretically now have the USSS detail in charge of babysitting Trump indefinitely detain him, without consequence?

I mean under what idea is that part of his official duties? If it's not it's literally exactly the same as before. Biden can do this at literally any moment. This court case doesn't change his ability to make unlawful moves.




Is it unlawful?

After today, if a federal judge arbitrarily decides "it's not", well... it's not.

I suppose if they really wanted to give a reason they could say he's a flight risk or something, it doesn't need to be valid with today's ruling.


How is that different then any executive action before the ruling? Presidents attempt to do all sorts of shit and then a judge say no. Literally nothing changed the surprise was it wasn't a 9-0 ruling not anything in the ruling.
