I don’t know, man. Those folks sure seem unnecessarily angry about a lot of stupid shit.

That’s not what an ad hominem is. You are literally parroting his justification for suspending the due process rights of everyone he wants to deport…right down to the part about “allowing criminals to get away with it…blah, blah, blah”.

If you think these people are criminals, then prove it in court. Present your evidence to a judge and jury. If they are as guilty as you say, then you should get a conviction. And no one will be able to refute it.

But if you simply do away with the whole process, you are guaranteeing that innocent people will be persecuted for nothing more than suspicion of guilt. They will have no means of clearing their name, when people like Trump accuse them of something they didn’t do. Are all those people worth throwing under the bus?

You sound just like Trump, now…you get that, right?

It’s not even “in all but name”, though. Martial law is not even remotely the same thing as just calling in the national guard…especially in DC.

Mommy always cut them off for him. Now, the wife must do the same.

DC isn’t under martial law. Technically, the district belongs to the federal government already, they’ve just been under a kind of conditional self-administration since the 70’s, I think? The only way to take away Trump’s authority over it, would be to grant DC official status as a State.

And just curious…what system would you suggest, that is better than what’s currently in place?

So, because people are currently being denied the right to due process…due process itself, doesn’t work?

In other words…he’s anticipating unrest.

It’s almost like he lured them into a trap.

Lol! “Buried” so deep, that no one can read them.

Of course he does.

Well…that award effectively means nothing, now.

What do you mean, “anymore”? He’s a moron. He’s never made any sense.

“…Trump’s interpretation…”

Lol! This fuckin’ moron doesn’t even understand basic high school level shit. The US is doomed.

Wasn’t she recently bragging about blowing Trump? A married man? Hmmm. Curious.

It still needs to be presented in court, and debated in front of a judge and jury. That way, it’s all on the record.

This clown is determined to destroy the economy.

I’m talking about selectively assigning who gets their rights protected, and who doesn’t. Who deserves due process, and who doesn’t. The only way any of this can be considered “legitimate” is if it applies to everyone…not just the ones you think “deserve it”.

No, I’m saying that the basic principles of law and justice shouldn’t be abandoned just because there are people in the world who try and game the system.

It seems like everyone these days, agrees with Trump’s vision of what the law should look like. My side gets a pass…and everyone I think is “bad”, gets their rights taken away. People just seem to disagree about who should be punished without due process.

It’s not a “moral high ground” issue. It’s basic common sense. You want a legal system that’s based on facts? You want people’s rights to be respected? You can’t have those things, if you throw them all out the window anytime things don’t work out exactly the way you want them to.

Those are the things you have to fight to protect. If every law that got broken, meant the law was pointless…then we would have no laws.

“Trump floats the idea of starting a civil war.” FTFY.
