Dada V. Mukasey
''Dada v. Mukasey'', 554 U.S. 1 (2008), was a United States Supreme Court case involving deportation procedures. Background Samson T. Dada was a citizen of Nigeria who had married an American citizen. When immigration officials tried to deport him for overstaying his visa, he appealed, claiming his marriage entitled him to remain in the United States. The Court ruled, in a 5–4 decision, that complying with a deportation order did not strip an immigrant of the right to appeal that deportation order. Opinion of the Court Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote the majority opinion, joined by Justices John Paul Stevens, David Souter, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and Stephen Breyer. Justice Antonin Scalia was joined by Justices John Roberts and Clarence Thomas in his dissent. Justice Samuel Alito wrote a separate dissent..

John Roberts
John Glover Roberts Jr. (born January 27, 1955) is an American lawyer and jurist who has served as the 17th chief justice of the United States since 2005. Roberts has authored the majority opinion in several landmark cases, including '' National Federation of Independent Business v. Sebelius,'' ''Shelby County v. Holder'', and ''Riley v. California''. He has been described as having a conservative judicial philosophy but, above all, is an institutionalist. He has shown a willingness to work with the Supreme Court's liberal bloc, and after the retirement of Anthony Kennedy in 2018, he has been regarded as the primary swing vote on the Court. However, Roberts is no longer regarded as the Court's median vote following the replacement of Ruth Bader Ginsburg by Amy Coney Barrett in 2020. Roberts grew up in northwestern Indiana and was educated in a series of Catholic schools. He studied history at Harvard University and then attended Harvard Law School, where he was mana ...
