Poilievre is saying that unless we do consecutive sentences for multiple murders, you get “4 years of jail time per murder.” “That’s insane” he says. It’s actually a lie. They don’t get out. They get a hearing, and the murderers he’s talking about don’t get parole in Canada. He’s rage-farming.

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

Again, if the idea is that when someone in custody leaves the nation’s airspace there’s no way for a court to compel the state to return them—or exert any jurisdiction at all—then you’re simply saying whoever’s in power can fly people 100 miles offshore and push them out of helicopters into the sea.
