Summary
The MAGA cinematic universe has gone into full meltdown after the Supreme Court temporarily blocked the Trump administration’s latest deportation push.
The ruling halted deportations that rely on the Alien Enemies Act—in a stunning 7-2 decision. “The Supreme Court would rather actively participate in America’s ruination,” wrote DHS liaison Paul Ingrassia.
“We live in a society where foreign alien terrorists have unlimited free legal representation,” Stephen Miller posted.
Tom Fitton suggested Trump suspend habeas corpus to “reverse the Biden invasion.” “Who will compensate the American people for the lasting damage?” Rep. Mary Miller asked.
It was funny watching all the conservative cucks dogpile on the comments section of the MSNBC youtube video that broke the story over the weekend, and every one of them was putting their ignorance of the constitution on full display - more proof that they don’t actually understand anything about how government works and should not be taken seriously or given any kind of real power or authority.

Did I stutter, bitch?
Fantastic series.
The scene is from HBO’s “John Adams”, is that correct? Man, what a show! It made me put John Adams among top 5 American presidents. And the role is Paul Giamatti’s finest! I have also changed my view of him as one of the best actors! Had the show been released few years later in late 00’s to early 10’s during the peak of TV dramas, Paul Giamatti would be celebrated as one of the greatest along with Brian Cranston!
I have also changed my view of him as one of the best actors!
Same, this series made me a huge fan of Giamatti, and I try to watch everything he’s in now. He’s so good.
I’m sure they would be upset at this if they could read.
Whining snowflakes, the whole maga lot
They can all drop dead for all I care. I’d celebrate.

Which society is this, and how can I travel to it?
Stephen Miller’s quote is of course quite hyperbolic but in fact yes, the US constitution says even foreign alien terrorists are guaranteed legal representation in the American criminal justice system. It’s amazing how many people either don’t understand this or pretend not to understand it, because it’s one of the tenets that made America so great to begin with, at least on paper
New Zealand? It’s called the “Citizen’s Advice Bureau” but it’s free for anyone. Doesn’t go as far as full representation, but it’s something.
Also our conservative government tried to defund it. Fuckers.
Some of these guys are very, very dangerous and will push us towards civil war before they give up power.
Remember that violence is what they want so they have an excuse to crack down and use martial law, etc.
The Courts must uphold the rule of law despite these threats. This is (supposed to be) America. We are not free unless everyone has due process.
MAGA will just say, “tHoUghTs AnD PrAyErS”. But if a Dem said that, MAGA will just say, “domestic terrorism!”
They will gaslight this country to its death.
Get fucked MAGA traitors.
As an outsider looking in… aren’t they always in full meltdown mode?
Yeah, but right now it’s about SCOTUS. Sometimes it’s other stuff.
“SCOTUS didn’t SCOTUS like they’re supposed to!”
– magaSCOTUS doesn’t know that the Cab’net and me
Circumvent the Constitution when we want to
They tell them they’ll comply, but they really don’t
Still they’re on their knees, and SCOTUS doesn’t know!
SCOTUS doesn’t know!
SCOTUS doesn’t know!
SCOTUS doesn’t know!
SCOTUS doesn’t know!
So don’t tell SCOTUS!

It’s a deliberate strategy.
The decision has cast the country’s entire legal system as Thanos in the eyes of Trump officials and associated mouthpieces—against whom they have assembled to avenge this perceived national betrayal.
For most people, having the entire legal system as your opponent might give you pause, and an “are we the bad guys?” moment. Not so for Trump cultists.
We all agree that the system is corrupt and ineffective. Republicans subvert that truth in order to undermine the law and cut government programs. In other words, while Dems are complaining about overreach of presidential power, Reps take that same energy towards SCOTUS.
I myself am on the far left so this is not an endorsement, but rather an observation on their clever tactics.
I don’t think the judicial system has been very judicious since it’s become so politicized. With so many right leaning justices and straight up corruption in the courts I don’t respect their opinions anymore.
Perhaps it would be different for someone right leaning, but it’s my understanding that average people on the right distrust most government by default. The Republican mind and the libertarian mind are often similar.
All that to say I don’t think this is a valid trigger for introspection, and in fact I don’t think there is a single thing besides brown jesus christ himself coming down and rapturing their opposition that would cause even a second of pause.
We are the bad guys and have been for a long long time.

From the US Constitution:
In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.
Trump, Miller, and the rest of he administration loathe the Constitution and the very foundations of the American ideal.
They seek to destroy all of it and replace it with a far right oligarchical dictatorship. They want an unchecked executive where the primary qualification of its officers is loyalty to the leader. Where due process is merely a suggestion and doesn’t apply to whomever they decide. Where money spent on research, food safety, education, government oversight, and public welfare is corruption and fraud, but money spent on private enterprise that enriches the executive officers is not. And, unfortunately, they’ve seen more success in that than I would have thought possible, particularly in such a brief time.
Wait until they look at their 401K, if they have one.
It’s now a 401.

Maybe somebody should tell him that.
It is now up to the man on the street to show him that.

Yes, that’s exactly the point.
Stephen Miller is a whiny little bitch. Literally watch any interview, and tell me I’m wrong. 😂 What a cruel and stupid little man.
I mean, how do you prosecute someone who has no legal representation?
This is so funny too because I grew up in a time where the police would tell you to not lock your car door if someone was breaking your windows out regularly. No one ever got prosecuted for that shit.
I commented on the wrong post my bad this was to op 😭
that requires due process, and who needs that when you got ICE picking people up off the streets at random, slapping temporary tattoos on them, to justify throwing them in planes to be sent to torture prisons.
Considering how many people they arrest and claim to be terrorists that’s a good thing.
Break a window on a Tesla? Terrorist!
Speak Spanish, believe it or not, also terrorist.
Tattoo, also terrorist.
Go to University and study anything but STEM or Economics or not be a white christian male? Straight to gitmo.
Buy a Chicago Bulls hat at a thrift store and have brown skin?
Well, you all know the drill by now.

We live in a society where criminals have the right to a free public defender 😱
A public defender who’s overworked and probably not even that
goodeffective at his job. You must have a weak case to be concerned about a free lawyer.Edit: Calling public defenders “not good” is a bit low but they are overworked and under-supported, therefore I rephrased to say they’re ineffective.
not even that good at his job
There’s no need to shit on public defenders to make your point.
Fair criticism. Edited my post.
Dude. You’re a badass.
Woah, so criminals have the right to fair representation, a fair trial, and in some cases a court of ones peers? :0
Naurr, who cares about constitutionally protected rights like due process when you’re a dictator. Those freedoms just get in the way of
turning America into a christofascist dystopiamaking America great again
I believe I saw someone say on Tumblr that if you enjoy having rights then you should advocate the strongest for criminals enjoying rights as well, because otherwise, the Government can always just take your rights away by labelling you a criminal.
Or, as has been trendy lately, a Salvadoran gang member.
Yes, Thats what I’ve been saying.
You only have as many rights as an accused criminal does.
and if we can remove due process from someone who is accused of being a criminal, and sent them to a central american torture prison with no judge, jury, hearing, or anything… Then anyone can be sent to a central american torture prison, because all it will take is a baseless accusation to strip you of all your supposedly inalienable rights.
That’s just what a Salvadoran gang member would say.
This GIF is great!
