Summary

The MAGA cinematic universe has gone into full meltdown after the Supreme Court temporarily blocked the Trump administration’s latest deportation push.

The ruling halted deportations that rely on the Alien Enemies Act—in a stunning 7-2 decision. “The Supreme Court would rather actively participate in America’s ruination,” wrote DHS liaison Paul Ingrassia.

“We live in a society where foreign alien terrorists have unlimited free legal representation,” Stephen Miller posted.

Tom Fitton suggested Trump suspend habeas corpus to “reverse the Biden invasion.” “Who will compensate the American people for the lasting damage?” Rep. Mary Miller asked.

    Which society is this, and how can I travel to it?

    Yes I am sure the criminal who already ignores courts amd suffers no tangible consequences for it will obey a ruling he does not like.

      The DOJ could technically put an arrest warrant on his subordinates that are not complying with an order.

    Yes, that’s exactly the point.

      Considering how many people they arrest and claim to be terrorists that’s a good thing.

      Break a window on a Tesla? Terrorist!

      I believe I saw someone say on Tumblr that if you enjoy having rights then you should advocate the strongest for criminals enjoying rights as well, because otherwise, the Government can always just take your rights away by labelling you a criminal.

      Or, as has been trendy lately, a Salvadoran gang member.

    From the US Constitution:

    In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.

    The decision has cast the country’s entire legal system as Thanos in the eyes of Trump officials and associated mouthpieces—against whom they have assembled to avenge this perceived national betrayal.

    For most people, having the entire legal system as your opponent might give you pause, and an “are we the bad guys?” moment. Not so for Trump cultists.

    Being able to remember is so surreal these days. I remember when Republicans attacked my country and tried to kill elected leaders. I remember when the domestic terrorists were taken in like sons and daughters. I remember CPAC declaring “We are all domestic terrorists.”

    And now they’re saying terrorists don’t deserve due process.
