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

    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.
