Back on my bullshit--talking about how originalism is bullshit--because why, as an "originalist" are you filing Supreme Court briefs supporting Trump's attempt to revoke the Constitution's guarantee of birthright citizenship?

The Legal Academy’s Leading Originalists Remain Breathtakingly Full of Shit
The conservative lawyers filing amicus briefs in the birthright citizenship case are making it very clear that there is only some “history” they care about.

I keep seeing people equate tyrannical government to the Bundy standoff. The dude was not paying the federal government for the right to graze his cattle on PUBLIC land. That’s as much an a front to me as a US citizen as it is to the federal government.

Impeachment is a start, but I want justice for the lives she’s ruined and taken.
The threat that DHS Secretary Kristi Noem poses to Americans’ constitutional rights has left Congress with no other option. Today, I’m supporting articles of impeachment against her.

So Kyle Rittenhouse, who attended a protest armed with a loaded assault rifle and killed 2 people is a right-wing hero.
But Alex Pretti who had a holstered, permitted handgun, was recording ICE, and tried to help a pepper-sprayed woman deserved to die?
No one is buying this BS.

Kash Patel: "You cannot bring a firearm, loaded, with multiple magazines to any sort of protest that you want. It's that simple. You don't have a right to break the law." (Pretti was carrying a gun legally.)

The P320 model is widely carried by armed civilians and US law enforcement, including ICE — but has been the subject of more than 100 allegations that it has a defect that allows it to fire "uncommanded."

I just want to make it clear that it was *Border Patrol* agents who murdered Alex Pretti, and those fuckers murder people regularly here along the border.

This is bananas, but it feels like they’re going to allow more people to carry guns and at the same time use it as justification to murder dissidents and undesirables.

We are dealing with a Western Christian supremacist movement willing to see millions die in the name of racial purity. This is William Wolfe. A year ago he was invited with fourteen other faith leaders to the WH. Today he is praising ICE for killing peaceful observers. This is Christian fascism.

This is a whole different level of insanity. The murdering of Good was hate pure and simple. But equating all this to Call of Duty is frankly terrifying. Makes anyone not if the “appropriate” uniform a target.
I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, “It’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city.
If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.

Breaking: ICE is now reportedly following white people on grocery runs in Minnesota, suspecting they're delivering food to neighbors too afraid to leave their homes.
