There is no benefit to trying to cozy up to Trump and Co., example one trillion:
New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy tried to cozy up to Trump over Trump's hatred of congestion pricing. Now he is being investigated by Trump's Attorney for the District of New Jersey regarding immigration: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/11/nyregion/trump-justice-department-habba-immigration.html
In uncut optimism, the media is reporting this as a defeat for the Trump admin and that they have to do something to get him back. They were also unanimous on due process. That is not nothing.
Of course Dear Leader's Press Secretary is telling everyone that Habeas Corpus is not Due Process
Agreed. They could just be trying to kick the can down the road to avoid the Constitutional Crisis they know is coming. District Courts and Courts of Appeal have ordered deportees returned before and the Government has complied even if it drags its feet. Even after the Supreme Court potentially handed the Trump admin a win on TRO's regarding the Alien Enemies Act, two district courts, including a Trump appointed Judge, ruled against the admin on Alien Enemies Act related litigation.
Still, it is not a total defeat for the opposition to Trump.
The bleak reading of the decision is that the Supreme Court is getting ready to neuter the judiciary and render Marbury v. Madison irrelevant.

The Supreme Court upholds the order to return deportee sent to El Salvador, now we might get the Justice Roberts made his decision, now let him enforce it moment: https://www.reuters.com/legal/us-supreme-court-upholds-order-facilitate-return-deportee-sent-el-salvador-error-2025-04-10/
LeeEsq pointed out a while ago that this was going to be there path to removal and it has been around forever but rarely, if ever used, the standard for proving this is essentially because the Secretary of State says so according to LeeEsq.
There is going to need to be some major law overhauling when this is all done

Noble and public spirited is giving them too much credit.
They have a base that lionizes things like factory work and coal mining because it is “tough” and “manly” work done by real, tough men (TM). This is a base that doesn’t want retraining to careers that they think code as feminine like being a nurse or home health aide

Wall Street deluded itself about Trump: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/07/opinion/trump-stock-market-wall-street.html
"People in finance, said Berezin, are more likely to be punished for being too cautious and pessimistic than for being too hopeful and aggressive. Last year, for instance, a famed strategist named Marko Kolanovic left JPMorgan Chase abruptly when his gloomy predictions about 2023 and 2024 turned out to be wrong, or least premature. Mike Wilson, also known for his bearishness, stepped down from his post as chair of Morgan Stanley’s Global Investment Committee, though he stayed with the company. “You don’t get fired for being bullish, but you do get fired for being bearish on Wall Street,” said Berezin.....
Some investors also felt a cultural affinity with the new administration that further clouded their judgment. When wokeness was ascendant, plenty of people in tech and finance quietly seethed at being guilt-tripped and forced to feign concern about social justice. “When the opportunity came to jettison all that, they were happy to do it,” said Berezin. “And Trump enabled them to do it.”
