    Scotus needs to resign in disgrace for traitorism, and all federalist society hacks need be sidelined. This dumster fire needs to burn out first.

    If you’re still around in 5 years, I’ll make a 50 dollar bet that the next blue-flavored one will do nothing but symbolic gestures and maybe a concession or two at most to roll any of this back and continue the immigration policy, economic policy and placate fundamentalist nonsense while China blows us apart in every metric. Maybe shitlibs could actually do something about their supposed grievances with Taiwan or Ukraine if they didn’t gargle the propaganda fed to them about how great capitalism is and western exceptionalism.

    nothing to stop the administration rounding up Americans and sending them to camps.

    There was nothing before. Something…guant…Guantanamo?

      The federal judiciary was to stop them before, doing anything systematically it would get challenged and then shut down nationwide.

      Now they can only provide specific relief to the person that actually manages to get their suit heard. Or they could try to get everyone that is now disappeared by the federal government or that may be disappeared by the federal government soon to join a class action lawsuit.

      That was a huge judicial decision that is not recognized as such by our preening self important influencers and media. But even the better ones do not get it even as they continue to trust establishment figures.

        Not in Guantanamo. Supreme Court actually approved it! Not in Afghanistan. Not in Iraq. Not in Gaza, more recently under the last admin and current. It didn’t stop the Patriot Act. It didn’t stop the extensive drone-strikes under Obama which the record was only broke by our recent President. It didn’t get us anything either, as even with a court and a supermajority Dems still decided to “compromise” on a dysfunctional healthcare act while chiding us that it is better than nothing. What point are you trying to make here? “pretty cheap”, using your own words.

        Or they could try to get everyone that is now disappeared by the federal government

        There was a very long period of time where that happened here in America on suspected communists, socialists, etc that moved onto Islamic terror threats shortly after 9/11. Or we could talk about the throes and throes of people disappeared in the vast swathes of nations America intervened, invaded or subjugated since the 1800s.

        Essentially, what I am going to communicate to you in very simple terms is that we as communists never have believed in a capitalist nation that you have any rights at any point. All of your rights could be easily pushed aside, subsumed or “rewritten” by the will of the ruling class and have been only stumbled, temporarily, by organized labor. That was only one step.
