Respectfully, talking about the Democratic party 100 years ago is an incredibly shaky basis for your argument.
Packing courts with partisans is malicious and power hungry no matter how you spin it. "Restoring balance" is rhetoric used by all kinds of historical leaders you do not want to be compared to...
It's not really, because courts move slowly. We're just now starting to see the repair of some things like chevron deference. Wickard v. Filburn still hasn't been overturned. It's just as inconsistent to say "we should leave things tilted forever" as it is to say "we should restore balance".
Exactly. The myriad of unconstitutional behaviors, and decisions which ignore precedent and the laws as written which are friendly to what Trump is doing is hardly conservative or liberal. It is tilted for sure, but in a way which needs correcting - in the direction of a society where the powerful have to obey laws.
This is a pretty loaded question. Innocents is something many would disagree with. Anyone who immigrates illegally at any time is guilty. Concentration camp is also a pretty controversial term, and one I would disagree with.
I do not care for Trump's actions, and I don't believe I wrote an explicit defense of them. I will happily defend the overall policy of sending every single illegal back. The recent comments to which y'all are replying aren't addressing Trump's disregard for law, they're addressing your claim that the right has been abusing or weaponizing the justice system.
> Anyone who immigrates illegally at any time is guilty.
I don't see Elon getting sent to a prison that nobody ever gets released from against the orders of the supreme court. It sounds like you're just apologising for fascism at this point.
Yes, I'm defending "illegals". No I don't need an excuse - the constitution of the united states requires that legal/illegal be decided by a court, not the executive.
Sending people to concentration camps is not deporting. It's human trafficking.
> A federal judge on Wednesday said he has found probable cause to hold the Trump administration in criminal contempt of court for violating his orders to turn around planes carrying deportees to El Salvador.
Allegations which musk denies. I have no idea if it’s true but the allegations revolve around work authorization not illegal immigration.
El Salvador’s prison is not a concentration camp. If you claim otherwise, prove it.
Judge only found probable cause and wanted more information. This is also not targeting Trump himself. Your statement is factually inaccurate.
You are in fact defending crime. If your position is “illegals are fine” we aren’t going to see eye-to-eye. I will continue to support sending every last one of them back.
