Unfortunately, SCOTUS and more than half of both the House and Senate will gladly vote for anything the Orange One tells them to and the voters, no matter how bad things get, will likely keep the incumbents in power in two years.

I feel like we have been since 911 when we caved and gave up the right to privacy…the power structure is so insidious it’s come down to no need for police…we have everyone scared so the neighbors are watching neighbors and the police are just a budget for donuts…

damondxb.bsky.social•45 days ago

What constitutional right is it suspending? Genuine question, I don’t doubt you

tazornissen.bsky.social•45 days ago

4th amendment - detainment without probable cause.

8th amendment - cruel and unusual punishment.

14th amendment - due process.

(I'm not a lawyer, got the amendments from the original post).

damondxb.bsky.social•45 days ago

Oh wow, sounds like it will be blocked by a judge less than a day after it’s passed then

tazornissen.bsky.social•45 days ago

Nah, the supreme court is compromised..

imadogchasingcarz.bsky.social•45 days ago

Not a funny joke, my guy.

damondxb.bsky.social•45 days ago

It’s not a joke.

It sounds like they’re wasting time.

lindavt.bsky.social•44 days ago

What we are about to be confronted with in this country is going to shock almost everyone.

nedwilcox.bsky.social•45 days ago

There actually is some correlation. Immigrants, both documented and undocumented, commit crimes--including violent crimes--at *lower* rates than American-born citizens.

The fact that her family asked for her not to be politicized and the GOP did it anyway tells you all you need to know about GOP motives—fear mongering about immigrants

That’s just Republicans are being Republicans. Fuck any Democrat who signs onto this bullshit

capradar.bsky.social•45 days ago

The data actually does show correlation - but correlated to show LESS crime by immigrants as a %

nashvillehumanist.bsky.social•45 days ago

These people honestly believe that the constitution does not apply to anyone who isn’t a citizen. It’s like they’ve never actually read the damn thing.

jaydeekay.bsky.social•45 days ago

Stripping undocumented immigrants of due process is just the first step in stripping ALL of us of due process. This is a test to see if they can get away with it, before extending it slowly to create a police state to keep the populace cowed as they enact unpopular policies.

bfgilme.bsky.social•45 days ago

A right is something that the government cannot do. The 14th A applies to the government, it isn't something that Congress can legislate away. Even the summary of the law makes it clear this isn't going to get past the first encounter with a District Court Judge.

maehemm2017.bsky.social•45 days ago

🤬🤬🤬

melissjpeltier.bsky.social•45 days ago

Exactly, Nick. Putting this law in place opens up a detention w/out due process free for all, including eventually adding more potential categories of “enemies of the state.”

The White Privilege Act

mtbr1975.bsky.social•45 days ago

What does it have to do with being white? There are plenty of problems with bill. Let’s not start making ridiculous claims that it has anything to do with “white privilege”. That will simply derail the conversation around what’s wrong with it.

negrolow.bsky.social•45 days ago

Created by white people for white people. Get over yourself or, better yet, your privilege.

atheistoutloud.bsky.social•45 days ago

Sadly, this republican party knows all too well these are wrong but don't care about anything or anyone except appeasing that fascist trump. Ironic isn't it, that the decent republican party of the past was the very group that voted for these amendments. Lincoln must be rolling in his mausoleum

loriganderson.bsky.social•45 days ago

How do I prove I’m an American citizen? I know it sounds like a stupid question, but I was told never to carry my birth certificate or my SS number in my purse. So what do I do?

mtbr1975.bsky.social•45 days ago

There actually is. If you’re a citizen you’re far more likely to commit a crime than if you’re not one.

truckle4evr.bsky.social•45 days ago

Not as serious as the Riley Act, but it reminds me of Civil Asset Forfeiture - both are denial of civil rights.

A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do .

godsown.bsky.social•45 days ago

Think again , DO NOT OBEY IN ADVANCE ! Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given . In times like these , individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want , then offer themselves without being asked .

godsown.bsky.social•45 days ago

And they used this law to site precedence, in a civil matter . And you were denied due process because the law was “ suspended or didn’t “ apply to certain circumstances?
And you were hauled away for talking badly about the orange one .
If you think it couldn’t happen here ?

I live in NE. The people in charge here would lick cow shit if they thought Trump would smile at them for it.

floralora.bsky.social•45 days ago

Thank you!🫶 I haven’t seen this, or enough support for the impending wave of inhumane acts that this country is going to see. I work with many undocumented and naturalized immigrant workers and live in a blue state and no one is taking about this 🤬🤬🤬🤦🏻‍♀️🙏🏻🫶✊✊✊

MAGA Masquerading as Republicans. This is what Eisenhower warned about too, choosing “Party” and it’s agenda over national interests.

claudiamw.bsky.social•45 days ago

yeah—what the FUCK, @rubengallego.bsky.social and other Dems?

nunyabitnez.bsky.social•45 days ago

Risk? The point is to set police to sic citizens for not being MAGA. I can assure you a Mexican guy with a MAGA hat won't get deported.

hostilepatriot.bsky.social•45 days ago

You really can’t assure us. White supremacy is the beating heart of the seditious maga confederacy.

nunyabitnez.bsky.social•45 days ago

True, probably just less likely.

hostilepatriot.bsky.social•45 days ago

I wouldn’t rely on that margin. The second wave to get deported, still gets deported.

nunyabitnez.bsky.social•45 days ago

I would drape myself and my house in Trump gear. They are not too bright, if you agree with them, they like you. If I got one of those loyalty surveys, I would reply trump trump trump i love trump rah rah, (can I keep my job?)

hostilepatriot.bsky.social•45 days ago

I wouldn’t confuse tolerate and manipulate for “liking”. These are white nationalists. The white will always come before nationalist. The goal is ethnic cleansing.
