What this will mean, in practice, that if you are deemed an enemy of the administration, they will pore through your citizenship application paperwork looking for some reason to retroactively disqualify you.

I get that Rob Reiner was beloved but I'm not sure why DJT's statements re: his murder was the line in the sand for some ppl. POTUS was on record calling Somali immigrants "garbage" a few days ago and that state senator from MN was the only GOP pol to reject that statement

Pretty much. No one thought I was cool as a teenager and they're not about to start now, so I don't see why I have to try and impress them
The best thing about middle age is not giving one single solitary fuck about being cool anymore.

High-quality legal scholarship, right here. This is what I live for.
I don't know, Aaron. I think we need to take this seriously. In fact, after surveying hundreds of years of history in the past few days, I've written an article assessing the originalist case here:

One of the most striking things about these ICE/BP raids is not that they’re all kitted out for war while going after people who didn’t do anything wrong and don’t pose a threat, but that they always bring a camera crew.
Commander Greg Bovino led a group of Border Patrol agents on walk around the French Quarter in New Orleans this afternoon.

Striking a boat full of unarmed civilians is murder. The first strike was murder. The followup strike was also murder.
We're not at war. It's not a "war crime". Everyone involved, including the POTUS, SecDef, the Admiral who relayed it and the person who pressed the button needs to be on trial.

I understand that the policy role former conservatives such as myself will have in the Big Tent, which is absolutely zero. That's completely fine and fair. It's not policy that interests us at this point.

Please, every news outlet, stop using the word "deportation" when it comes to ICE's activities. Deportation is a legal process, they're kidnapping people and holding them illegally. Your terminology is normalizing what they're doing.

No one should have to face such threats.
It would’ve been nice if Greene had realized this before she amplified and endorsed calls for executing Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama.
