This isn't about what I "believe', but about the legal terminology. There's lots of discussion recently, but let's go back to the 18 century, and examine. Slaves were 100% NOT citizens, yet they were counted as 3/5 "people" and counted in the census towards representation. This dispels the notion that non-citizens are not "members of the political community" argument, which is probably the leading argument that immigrants aren't "people". If you think this argument is so easy a 5th grader, who can read, can know it, then you haven't done any research on the subject whatsoever.

I guess this means what ya'll call illegals can be militia too then, right? Can't have it both ways. Unless you're ultra magga, and the logic gets warped to suit.

It's complicated. You and the SC don't get it.

So much WINNIN..... oh wait.... A federal appeals court on Tuesday night ordered that a contentious new Texas immigration law be paused just hours after the Supreme Court said it could go into effect. A three-judge panel of the New Orleans-based 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals split 2-1 in saying in a brief order that the measure, known as SB4, should be blocked. The same court is hearing arguments Wednesday morning on the issue. Doing Texas a solid, and they don't even know it.

When Alina is eventually fired or arrested(like every single lawyer for him EVER), you can take up the case, and tell the courtroom that you don't see any smoking fingers, so the jury should be executed and trump TODULLY IGZONHERATED!!!! Every single other allegation ever made about "Joke" Biden,on the other hand, HE DID IT. CM'ON MAN. Not enough evidence to bring a case, from a right wing special prosecutor, but i guess that's different. 2 tiered lawfare communist blah blah. I wonder if you guys even understand how sick people get of conspiracy after conspiracy, court case after court case that gets slapped down, but you just don't stop. Ya'll are persistent. I give you that much. Your boy had his day in court, and he lost. Look in the mirror tomorrow morning, and try to say, "he lost", because eventually you're going to have to accept the truth.

To me this seems to point to the notion that the militia and right to bear arms ARE separate ideas, and that should be a semicolon not a comma. Clerical error. I don't expect the SCOTUS will notice that, though. Dumbest group I've ever seen.

Tell me you're kidding. Your argument is that I have to provide you personally with evidence that you deem acceptable? That's not how the law, juries, or in fact anything else on this planet works. After a jury finds you guilty, you're guilty. It no longer becomes slander. I had no clue there was a Doc must concur clause in the judicial system. You and Sherpa don't even know what operational is, but you know who is responsible for the bungle. OK

I mean you and me might think that, but legal documents have legal definitions. "The people" is EXACTLY the language used in the 2nd Amendment, no matter how bad you wished it said citizens. A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

Penalties for those who illegally re-enter Texas after having been deported could go up to 20 years in prison, depending on a person's immigration and criminal history. Top Mexico diplomat Roberto Velasco Álvarez posted on X that Mexico will not accept migrants being sent back across the border by the state of Texas. "The dialogue on immigration matters will continue between the federal governments" of Mexico and the US, he wrote in Spanish. sow chaos and confusion at our southern border," White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in a statement. "The court gives a green-light that will upend the longstanding federal-state balance of power and sow chaos," Justice Sotomayor wrote in the dissenting opinion. Oh look, what happened? It sowed chaos. Looks like they won't be sending them back "pronto". Better start building those prisons we were talking about, because 20 years is a long time to be housing someone. The cost for each one jailed? $500,000. Doc your whole day has been a loss. You could call it an average trump day. meanwhile I'll be dying over the irony that Texas won't have the money, resources, and infrastructure to enforce their laws. Sounds PAINFULLY familiar. Too bad we didn't have a bill presented that only had 2 other super simple aid issues attached to it ready to be sent to the president.

Hope Texas has a strong national guard. After all the SCOTUS just said Texas can do Texas when dealing with immigration. Alamo part 2. I guess the SCOTUS doesn't realize this is an international issue as well. That's ok, I wouldn't have expected them to.

For a deal that they were not upholding one single part of the entire time it was negotiated, and before even one single prisoner was released. The Afghan president was coming out and saying that the terms trump were offering were lies. Then after the prisoners were released, they continued to not honor any of the deal, which made the May 1st "deal" one that couldn't be believed to be honored. Anyone can google the withdrawal timeline unless they don't want to spoil their inaccurate narratives. The art of the deal.

He's a walking run on sentence. He'll be great at being the guy at the corner bar who shows up at noon and doesn't stop talking until 6:30 when he leaves.

I'll choose #2. Forgot all about that. Does seem like he may have left money on the table somewhere else.

We're paying him the same amount as Miami is to play this year. They must not have even discussed a contract with him. Like why didn't he just play here for the $2M were going to have to pay him. I don't get it.

Right. I like this.

They said that they had already been allowed to fire shots recently, so the bungle of the SGT not taking the shot was his commander not knowing what the current orders were. He literally said, "I don't know", but I guess that was Biden not being a good operational commander's fault, right? Heck, why not put Biden right behind a few sandbags at Bagram, so he can give the fire order directly to the sniper when he spots a random suicide bomber? If the sniper's commander hadn't bungled that request to fire, there isn't even an issue. Well, Fox would have found a way to make it look bad, but.... I don' think you're understanding the 2,500 troops thing. They were to remain behind in a deteriorating situation. Milley said the main problem was our allied Afghani troops were poorly trained, and "melted away". They were meant to stay and protect the government. trump reduced troops levels to 2,500 in January, so it's basically saying NO troops would be leaving. I hope you're not trying to say we evacuated all the troops and then civilians after with no protection?

I'd pay good money to get my hands on some wine coolers. Compared to seltzer those things were fire.

You mean Mike Pence allowed him to lose an election.

By their logic, no one in history has ever gotten a fair jury trial, because people have an innate prejudice against criminals. For the trial to be legit, it should be by a jury of peers made up of only fellow criminals to avoid a bias. The solution? Trump can only be tried fairly if the AG, judge and jury are all ultra MAGA, and the trial is held in a rural area in a deep red state. Everyone else is a crooked democrat deep stater. This of course doesn't apply to the SCOTUS, especially if they find him immune to all crimes. Oy vey!

Sorry guys: The operational level of war is the level of command situated between the tactical and the strategic, between the company or battalion commander in the field and the president in the White House. It is in the exercise of operational art that today’s senior generals, like McChrystal, hope to reach the acme of their professional careers. Those 2,500 troops weren't to be there for that. They were to be there to prevent the Taliban from taking over Afghani government, not to protect Bagram AB. That was inevitable. The general said those troops would have been at significant risk of harm. I'm glad they didn't remain.

One general took responsibility, the other did not. At the strategic level, we got out of Afghanistan. On the operational level, they failed, but Milley is misusing words, and pointing fingers at the state department. He literally said the 2.500 troops would have only stopped the "swift" takeover. The inevitable takeover happened swiftly, because their president cut and ran. He said those 2,500 troops would have been at "significant risk" of harm. I'd rather not risk those 2,500 troops lives to merely prevent an inevitable takeover. The disaster was Abbey Gate, and the general took FULL responsibility. The SGT had a chance to take a shot, but his OPERATIONAL commander bungled it.

They don't even read half the stuff they post. Ironically, I do and catch it every time. Comically, the preponderance of evidence part is in the red circle.

Then why did they create a law to jail them? Political stunt maybe? Doc, you normally don't lose this badly, but you're having a bad day. Do you think any of them might return? What would be stopping them?

You think the president has operational control over the troops?? LOL Try again.

LOL, in your opinion, does Texas currently have the resources and funds to follow this law right now and long-term? No, well then they'll be do EXACTLY what Biden is doing that you hate so much. They'll end up not enforcing the laws, and claiming they don't have the resources to do it. I know you hate Joke, but that's no reason to call what is almost certainly a fact my opinion. Texas' budget is available online, so if you want to show me how much they have allocated for this, I'd like to see it. They spend $22,000/year per inmate. Let's say they jail 1 million immigrants. That's $22 billion. Charge em with a felony when they return, and how long before you have 10 million immigrants in jail? Their annual budget is $165 billion. Not a political stunt though. LOLZ If Trump wins he will deport them. At least in Texas they will have $22,00 worth of care in jail that they wouldn't have in Mexico. As usual a poorly thought-out plan by republicans.
