In explaining exactly why this is so bleak, Klippenstein references the dystopian science fiction movie Minority Report, where people are arrested not for anything they’ve done but for “pre-crime” predicted by people with psychic powers. In this real-world case, the “indicia” (indicators) of future political violence listed in the report are:
anti-Americanism,
anti-capitalism,
anti-Christianity,
support for the overthrow of the United States Government,
extremism on migration,
extremism on race,
extremism on gender
hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family,
hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on religion, and
hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on morality.
Many of those listed things have been explicitly adjudicated as “free speech” by SCOTUS.
But good luck to him on arresting 70-80% of the population, I guess.
The supreme court doesn’t give a fuck anymore
It never really did, but a conservative court will always side with conservative prez when push comes to shove
In more recent times they used to try and justify their rulings, but now they can’t even be bothered.
scotus will rubber stamp anything he does
yeah. like myriad anti-communist clauses on immigration and party operations
