The president’s temper tantrum comes less than two days after U.S. District Judge Fernando Rodriguez Jr., whom Trump appointed during his first term, struck down his use of the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to expel hundreds of alleged Venezuelan gang members to El Salvador. The administration had argued that the law—which was last used during World War II to justify carting Japanese-Americans off to internment camps—allowed it to deport migrants without due process because the country is at war with gangs and drug cartels.

When your own conservative judges are striking down your official acts as unlawful, you should have the self-awareness to know you've gone too far.

he doesn't have self awareness or shame. only a hole in his heart where the rest of us keep our love and compassion

The point was to go too far. They want a full right extremist takeover. Its what Project 2025 calls for.

I guess we're just going to bitch about the foundational checks and balances of our governmental system now. I'm so sick of this clown parade.

War on concepts are an American pastime. Drugs, terror, crime, and now immigrants.

I tried explaining that to a couple of people a few days ago. It's not just rhetoric, there's an actual reason they like to declare a "War" on various things like drugs, terror, etc. By declaring a "War," it allows the government to access certain policies/ strategies that are only available during wartime. When they declared a War of Drugs, it allowed law enforcement to get extra federal money, as well as justification for militarizing the local cops.
In this case, it allows HitlerPig to use some old wartime powers act, even though its not a war, and the people hebis targeting arent actually combatants. Its just an thin excuse to deny them rights, as if they were enemy combatants on a battlefield.

That’s not how any of this works.
barneypiccolo@lemm.ee · 1 pts · 1y
Yes, it is. They use these "Wars" on issues to increase their control of the population. The "War on Drugs" encouraged the militarization of local police, the "War on Terror" encouraged the intrusive surveillance of citizens, the "War on Illegal Immigration" allows the president to invoke the Alien Enemies Act.
Characterizing these issues as "Wars" sends the message that they will go to extremes to achieve their oppressive objectives.

It’s not that he threw it out so much as he’s chosen to ignore it, and no one has stopped him.
