Merged Due process in the US

brittainforsenate
Trump advisor Stephen Miller has sued Chief Supreme Court Justice John Roberts to try to gain control of SCOTUS. No, I'm not joking. Legal Karen wants to speak to the manager of Rule of Law.
More accurately, he has sued under FOIA to obtain records of the Judicial Conference of the United States as a pretext for a declaration that the conference is an executive agency subject to the President's authority. The conference is unequivocally a judiciary agency, and this is the second time such an attempt has been made. The first failed in a summary dismissal, as this one is likely to do.

 
RubIo: "We are actively searching for other countries to take people from third countries. Not just El Salvador. We are working with other countries to say, 'We want to send some of the most despicable to your countries. Will you do that as a favor to us?' And the further from the US the better."
If the USA starts deporting all its woke, leftist technicians, researchers, scholars and other brains-trust people and pays for flights and some bribes incentives to take them, I'm sure we can set up a KZ (wink, wink) here in Oz where they can be sent...

...for a hot minute while we process their permanent residency visas, then employ them here.

In fact, lots of the US brains could commit trivial offences deliberately in order to get deported to a better life. Nor would Australia be the only country to welcome such "criminals".
 
Trump henchmen want to arrest governors
 
Trump henchmen want to arrest governors
there's a link to his speech in the "Trump's second term" thread. Good on him. Vermont's erstwhile resistant Republican governor has been kind of wimping out recently. I hope this helps fire him back up. Vermont's governor terms are two years, and if he turns into a Trump stooge, I think he'll go belly-up in 2026.
 
This is where we're at.

After his usual braggadocio, Trump pivoted to video recordings of abject cruelty. Behind the podium, Trump displayed large screen videos of the inhumane treatment of helpless migrants he deported to El Salvador's notorious gulag, CECOT. He brayed, still without evidence, “The worst of the worst are being sent to a no-nonsense prison in El Salvador… watch this!”

“This” was a series of video clips showing hundreds of men he has imprisoned without due process, without a hearing, and without credible evidence that they committed any crime. “This” was a video showing men brutally bent over, having their heads shaved bare, and forcibly shoved into concentration camp-style cages that sleep 75 to 80. “This” was Trump priming his already violence-prone base into a bloodthirsty frenzy, as they exploded in raucous approval of his inhumanity, thundering, "USA! USA! USA!"
Trump not only brings out the worst in people --Jan 6 anyone? -- but he revels in it. If this rally doesn't remind you of a certain Austrian paperhanger, what would? How long until Donnie Diapers starts deporting his political rivals?
 
WELKER: Are you defying the Supreme Court, sir?

TRUMP: No. I'm relying on the attorney general of the United States, Pam Bondi, who's very capable and doing a great job

WELKER: The 5th Amendment says everyone deserves due process

TRUMP: It might say that, but if you're talking about that, then we'd have to have a million or two million or three million trials

 
Should the US follow the same logic after Dump, when him and all his cronies have to face justice for what they've done? 'There's too many of them, just cart them all off to prisons and concentration camps.' The infrastructure for detaining prisoners will be there after x years of Drumpf.

"Kill them all, God will know His own"
 
He doesn't care about the Constitution.

WELKER: Your secretary of state says everyone who's here, citizens and non-citizens, deserve due process. Do you agree?

TRUMP: I don't know. I'm not a lawyer. I don't know.

WELKER: Don't you need to uphold the Constitution?

TRUMP: I don't know

 
“I don’t know”

“I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States."
 
“I don’t know”

“I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States."
Just shows, again, how much his word is worth.
 
“I don’t know”

“I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States."
"Yeah, but it doesn't say "uphold,' now does it? Totally different thing!"
- some MAGA somewhere.
 
“I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States."
Come on, do you think he knows what half of those words mean?
