If you're looking for an explainer on why due process matters to share with friends and family members who might ... need convincing, I've removed the (partial) paywall from my March 19 post for "One First" on the topic: www.stevevladeck.com/p/bonus-133-...

Hey, Politico -- I consider myself to have "long-term standing in the private legal community" and I have been willing to speak out almost every single day. And, I'm not alone. Yes, there is widespread cowardice among law firms, but don't ignore those refusing to bow down. Defiantly, Marc Elias

The whole point is not just the state disappearing whoever they want, it's you being in the habit of accepting the state choosing whom to disappear, without question. It's submission to the state. Same as with Gitmo after 9/11. The state's judgment must not be questioned.

You are also seeing a return to the 2020 tactic of associating any support for protests with support for violence. (I think Ro Khanna is the only Dem who was asked to "denounce the Tesla firebombing" and did so... rest of them take as given, duh, I don't support violence)

I’m totally fine with deporting gang members who commit crimes who don’t have legal status. I just don’t want Tom Homan or an ICE agent grabbing anyone off the street and flying them to a prison in El Salvador while claiming they are all of those things with zero due process.

Kelly: When I was flying in combat over Iraq during the first Gulf War, I didn’t expect that there was a 10-year-old kid sitting in South Africa who would one day become the richest guy in the world and call me a traitor for doing my job. Now, he kind of acts like a 12-year-old kid

I cannot overstate how much I love the fact that Williams & Connolly put 14 individual lawyers’ names in the signature block of their complaint. W&C is sending a clear message: We are not afraid. BRAVO.

The criminal who led a violent insurrection, refuses to accept he lost the 2020 election, called himself a King & quoted Napoleon & Hitler, wants to undo birthright citizenship, is ignoring court orders - how could he detain & try to deport a green card holder? Because this is what fascists do.

Some of us have been saying this since 2020 and even before: Dems should make corruption the central issue in US politics and public life and go on the offensive against GOP/MAGA/Trump transparent and hypocritical corruption and grifting. Most voters hate corruption.

You can’t make this stuff up. Trump supporters spent the past few years obsessing over an apparent sex trafficking cabal in charge of our country. And yet one of the first things Trump seems to have done, apparently, is push to get the Tates, charged with sex trafficking, released from Romania.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

If this is just negotiating gambit by Trump on Ukraine, why does he begin with maximalist positions for allies - Denmark and Greenland, Canada as the 51st state, Gaza as an American possession - and a raft of concessions for a chief American adversary in Russia?
