#Threats against #judges & their #families “are ultimately threats to constitutional government. It’s as simple as that,”US Circuit Judge Richard Sullivan, chair of a #security cmte for the federal #judiciary’s policy arm, said.
The judiciary has emerged as a powerful constraint on a range of #Trump’s initiatives, from dismantling #FederalAgencies to #deporting migrants & targeting #LawFirms. As Trump defies court orders, #legal scholars warn the country may already be in a #ConstitutionalCrisis

When US District #Judge James #Boasberg ruled in April that #Trump admin officials could face #criminal #contempt charges for #deporting migrants in defiance of a #CourtOrder, the blowback was immediate.

Trump’s supporters unleashed a wave of #threats & menacing posts. And they didn’t just target the judge. Some attacked Boasberg’s brother. Others blasted his daughter. Some demanded the #family’s arrest – or #execution.

I've been watching the legal "stuff" around #deporting and #kidnapping in the US.

I'm confused;

Isn't there a simple law that says "a #citizen of the #USA may not be forced to leave the country by anyone for any reason at any time."
If this is an important law and elected leader acts above the law then #impeach leader immediately on the first attempt to violate the #law.

show some respect for rule of law.

If there isnt one, why isnt there one being written right now.

I feel like throwing an eraser at these sleeping #influencers like one of my professors did at #HowardU BITD. Hello? Have you been paying attention? The current #fascist #lawless regime is, whelp, #lawless. They are busy #deporting #legalimmigrants & threatening to #deport #citizens. They have illegally fired #civilservants. Why would they, on god's green earth, be constrained by #international #treaties and #IARU agreements or listen to suggestions from #hams?

@jopy @dozymoe @kmpiw@mastodon.social @palestine @israel

Asking Palestine to disarm long term when Israel won't even give up their #WMDs is not a reasonable request.

Whose job will it be to defend Palestinians against Israel? Hamas' #alQassam are arguably counterproductive, but Palestinians need someone competent, not nothing. You can't leave 6 million civilians (12 million if you include refugees in neighboring countries) undefended against one of the world's largest militaries who are supported by the world's only supper power.

There needs to be someone with the authority to shoot back as the Israeli military if they try to attack Palestinians. Someone really needed to be able to snipe back at the Golani Brigade

And what do they even mean by "surrender"? surrender to what?

If Israel export their terror problem by #deporting the #militants and leadership like they did in the 1960s and 1970s then Israel should be held responsible when we see a 21st century resurrection of Black September and the PFLP-EO (at best) if they completely dismantle the current resistance there's a risk it will be hijacked by lunatics like ISIS

Or do they just want "Hamas" to line up against a wall and let Israel do what the IDF did to Egyptians repeatedly? and they define "Hamas" so broadly that, as far as, i can tell #Hamas is just the Israeli word for "Palestinian", which they refuse to say in English https://www.newarab.com/opinion/who-was-responsible-israels-1967-massacre (the uncensored version might have been in Haaretz Hebrew later if I am remembering right, but that's paywalled anyway)

@Nazani
QUICK QUESTION:

What sort of people is the U.S. #BorderPatrol seeking by running ads during #FoxnewsSunday immediately following an interview with DHS Secretary #Noem who lied through her teeth about the people they are #deporting and who they're sending to #Gitmo?

#Texas reminding everyone what #Xmas is all about by #Deporting a new mother of twins b/c she missed her #Deportation hearing due to complications from her C-Section (link above. )

@tusk81
One wonders if even THIS #SCotUS would be okay with #deporting American citizens?

When asked about the 14th Amendment ("birthright citizenship" making U.S. born slaves citizens), he suggested it "might have to be fixed".

You can't "edit" a #ConstitutionalAmendment. Prohibition (ironically, the "18th" Amendment) required passage of the (again ironically) "21st" Amendment to reverse it.

Likewise, we'd have to pass a 28th Amendment to repeal #BirthrightCitizenship. #PartyOfLincoln

HAVE I MENTIONED IN THE LAST TEN MINUTES HOW MUCH I *DESPISE* THESE PEOPLE?

#ThisWeek just had on token black #Conservative #MAGAt Byron Donalds who defended #OrangeHitler's plan to #deport over 12 Million "#illegals" (and how much they are costing the country.)

And when host Martha Raddatz points out all the labor jobs they perform, he insists that #deporting THEM "will SAVE us SO much money" that it will save us the cost of deporting them. #WeAreSoScrewed #TooStupidForPolitics
