If you wanna do mass human trafficking and call it deportation, SCOTUS might write you a blank warrant.
If you wanna rescue a bunch of kidnapped souls from a concentration camp, SCOTUS has told you that you don’t have standing and those souls must each individually apply in person.

I'm not advocating it, but this is the US. We have concealed carry permits and castle doctrines and civilians armed like paramilitary groups and a mass anti-government militia movement... and a President saying he can deport anyone, anytime, to a Salvadorean supermax death camp.

Revolutions do need rhetorical intensity and probably a bit of moral absolutism. But I’m not sure that means Paine was “right,” nor that he was the proper person to put in charge of revolution strategy.
Sigh. These are, after all, the times that try men’s souls.

So if the economy totally crashes because the President is either cognitively gone or an agent of foreign chaos, this Congress is just going to act like we’ve got to roll with it for 3 and a half more years?

Capturing a person against their will without due process is called kidnapping.
Transporting them to another country without due process is called human trafficking.
A squalid extrajudicial prison for people found guilty of no crime is called a concentration camp.

stop calling things deportation just because they call it deportation.
-You cannot legally deport people without due process.
-You cannot legally deport citizens.
-They are defining down deportation to break the law.

CNBC's Steve Liesman doesn't mince words about the way the White House calculated its tariff rates:
"Nobody ever heard of this formula. Nobody has ever used this formula. So I’m sorry, but the conclusion seems to be the president kind of made this up as he went along... these are off the charts."

Senate Dems just forced a vote to nullify the bs emergency declaration Trump used to levy Canada.
Trump used the International Economic Emergency Powers Act, which has a provision allowing any senator to force a vote to block it.
Dems needed only 4 Repubs and they got it.
Now goes to the House.
