  1. Due process has been chilling in the Constitution since the Bill of Rights, but it took the 5th and 14th Amendment to remind states that they actually have to play by the rules. Funny how conservatives didn’t bat an eye when the Supreme Court wiped out Roe after 50+ years of precedent but now, suddenly, due process that’s been there since forever is a bridge too far. The law is the law, folks. When they start cherry-picking the Constitution like a bible and ignoring what doesn’t fit their agenda, get ready - your rights are next. Oh wait, they already are coming for them.
  2. Oh, I’m sorry, did Trump’s handpicked judges just side with the Constitution instead of your feelings? How tragic.
  3. Unfortunately, the Constitution isn’t in the business of coddling feelings it’s too busy being the rock-solid foundation of the law. Sorry, not sorry.
  4. Oh, they love the Constitution right up until it doesn't line up with their latest agenda. It's like their favorite accessory when it's convenient, that is.
  5. This disaster is about to implode.
  6. Nice deflection. You’re the one misquoting the Constitution and court cases. Yeah, the Constitution and Bible are open to interpretation, but let’s be real: some interpretations are just better at twisting things to fit an agenda. The Constitution is clear on this issue, and it's backed up by justices on both sides of the aisle. But hey, keep trying to make your case.
  7. That makes five IRS heads this year and counting.
  8. Same tired story. Shame he didn’t just stick to venting his racism anonymously on a message board like they do here instead of taking it into the real world.
  9. Cool story, but you might want to actually read the Constitution - “person” not “citizen” is the word used in the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments. That’s not a meme; it’s the law. U.S. Constitution - Fifth Amendment | Resources | Constitution Annotated | Congress.gov | Library of Congress U.S. Constitution - Fourteenth Amendment | Resources | Constitution Annotated | Congress.gov | Library of Congress Also, Kerry v. Din wasn’t about undocumented immigrants getting no due process it was about whether a US citizen had a constitutional right to bring their spouse into the country. Entirely different issue. Last, in Zadvydas v. Davis (2001), Scalia dissented from the majority on the specific ruling, he did not dispute that due process rights apply to non-citizens present in the United States. He acknowledged that once a person is on US soil, even unlawfully, they are entitled to certain constitutional protections.
  10. Classic throw everything at the wall and see what sticks strategy. It's quite obvious the cult is losing both in court and the court of public opinion as you're desperately trying to build a narrative from cherry picked outrage bait. When you’re calling a rioter in an attempted coup a capitol trespasser and tossing in wife-beating gangster, it’s pretty obvious you’re scrambling to hold onto a narrative that’s slipping away.
  11. You claim to have included context, history, and power dynamics, but all you really did was flatten two vastly different events into a cookie cutter take that ignores the bigger picture. Saying “this isn’t complicated” doesn’t magically erase the complexity you’re just choosing not to engage with it. As for not following the bolded sentence I believe that’s what happens when nuance enters the chat and you’re still trying to debate with bumper sticker slogans.
  12. Absolutely humiliating. Watching grown adults go around the room fawning over Trump like he's some kind of golden calf is peak authoritarian cringe.
  13. Well, that's quite verbose just to say, "I only care about 'facts' when they support my bias." You've applied identical reasoning to both Michael Brown and Ashli Babbitt cases, then expressed outrage at different public reactions as if context, history, and systemic power dynamics are irrelevant. And isn't it interesting how you suddenly praise "hard, dirty work" when an officer's actions match your political views, but otherwise resort to outrage and protest? So much for consistency.
