If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

Brilliant but devastating editorial in the Financial Times.
“In the past 10 days, he [Trump] has all but incinerated 80 years of postwar American leadership. If you are not at the table, you are on the menu. America has turned.”

JD Vance - If you believe any of the multiple federal courts that have ruled against you so far are exceeding their statutory or Constitutional authority, your recourse is to appeal. You don’t get to rage-quit the Republic just because you are losing. That’s tyranny.

For decades, America has been promoting checks and balances and the rule of law around the world. But now these principles are under assault in Washington, and nobody seems to know what to do.

It’s right up there with convicted insurrectionist felons being pardoned while Congress organizes a witch hunt for former members who investigated the insurrection.
Indicative of the political moment that somebody can throw up something that looks like a Nazi salute at a political rally, and it’s other people who get in trouble for saying that’s a bad thing.

Uecker is dead. No tribute can do him justice. He lived a long life, and was himself to the end. He went like I think he wished to go; quietly, without distraction to the team. But I want to offer some thoughts in what is a very upsetting time for many people.
