Along with some demonstrable falsehoods.
Perfect fodder for the slow witted.
"20 million in with no process" has zero to do with the issue of due process overall.
Might as well be "20,000 speeders with no process, they cant enjoy due process when charged".
I can go on. Im glad you got a stiffie for the stupid rhetorical drivel like that.
"pick out every single person and go through years upon years upon years of paperwork, a" -- nope. doensnt need 'years and years'. Far rom it.
Sugar water cool words aimed at the enjoyment of those who wouldnt rather bother with facts, Again -- glad it got you a stiffie there, pardner.
And more.... but you get the picture.
This right here is why you and so many on the left are wrong. Distinction matters.
Yes, distinction does and can matter, and facts matter. Rhetoric typically doesn't.
Quote:Your speeder reference is an incredibly failed and flawed analogy because American drivers aren’t creating national security risks or intentional harms against other people.
A speeder isnt creating intentional harms against other people? Really? Minimizing harm against other people is the *sole* reason *for* speeding statutes.
And great -- the people here are creating a security risk. That still doesnt short circuit the requirement of due process. In the slightest.
Great, just lets up the ante here. Lets take a small town (30,000 people) and create the biggest, baddest, criminal organization in the town. Murder rates miles through the roof.
That. Still. Doenst. Remove. Due. Process. Concerns.
Stuff as fundamental as due process can really only be messed with the *most* extreme emergencies. Yeah, active insurrection and the like. Like really active. When Posse Comitatus is removed.
And even in the times in the modern existence of our country *when* Posse Comitatus was sidetracked -- that *still* hasnt removed the concerns for due process.
Quote:But even with that analogy playing it out if the local or state government illegally paid a contractor to come up with new speed limits and then further illegally implemented the speed traps all those cases would be universally thrown out. And so that’s the same thing we’re trying to do with the illegal way in which the prior administration let these people in. You know throw them out. But your analogy is asinine in the first place.
Yes, illegal implementation of a law does lead to removal of convictions of that law. That isnt the case here. The case you are trying to make is an improper instantiation (loosening) of a law should allow the government to, after the fact, simply arrest everyone who was speeding for their previous actions. And that isnt the end of what you say above. You add that the arrest and ticketing for people under the old law that should have happened, should occur with zero access to any process.
Sorry, thats retarded.
Yes, the Biden immigration regime was horrendous. That isnt a reason to shitcan fundamental rights. End of story.
Quote:But more important the origin story here is more than unequivocally relevant. This isn’t a situation where this country ended up with a few thousand or even few million people here and there getting in over a 10 to 20 year period. This was the largest human smuggling operation in global history - good portion of it literally directed and overseen by the USG with all of it at least enabled by the Biden regime. We literally handed criminal organizations and cartels a new line of business and made them more powerful than they’ve ever been.
Cool. Lets analogize the above, for clarity.
Lets make the subject 'really bad fing gangs in the US -- generally, not necessarily aliens'. Your excuse is now 'since the previous governing body was bad, terrible, neglectful (or whatever you wish) -- the gangs grew. Now that the governance has changed, the bad nasty gangs are even worse than before. Since they are worse, we should simply shitcan fundamental rights to combat the new bad gangs..
Look, hate to tell you --- due process isnt a fing popularity contest. It typically is enabled the most by the most reviled. But that is the structure, and that structure allows it to be used by anyone -- including those that shouldnt normally need it.
Same story for the 1st Amendment. Not a popularity contest. It allows the shitbirds who like 'The Turner Diaries' to read and possess 'The Turner Diaries.' Same for Mao's little red book and Mein Kampf.
The argument that some bad things flourished under a previous policy, absent an explicit existential threat to the country, is grounds for shitcanning due process (and other issues related to the subject) is the asinine position.
Quote: And you can’t even wrap your feeble mind around the heinous things they’ve done or let such atrocious acts cloud your judgement long enough to realize the horrific things that the US is literally responsible for happening. So you could not be more wrong on that point. It absolutely does matter and I’m still slightly amazed the lengths the left is going to climb this particular hill to die on.
Go piss on yourself with the 'feeble mind' crap, sparky.
Yeah, gangs and groups can absolutely do ****** things. In the 40s and 50s there were collections of gangs that did just as bad, maybe worse. Same with the pencil neck KKKers in the 60s as a group, the Weathermen in the late 60s, the Black Panthers, the fktard McVeigh type folks in the 90s.
Im not astonished that a deep blooded LE type dude wants to wash away due process, let alone any number of impediments to their job.
Yeah, it would be a lot easier to send the paunch belly tin stars with country fried steak gravy on their shirts in with carte blanche to rid groups of folks simply because -- without regard to the 4th, 5th, 6th, 14th, or a few other provisions of the document that matters. Sorry those are impediments to that enforcement of law by random decree. They exist for a reason. I suggest you actually adhere to that.
Yeah, how fing terrible that folks actually subscribe to the Bill of rights. What a horrific, untenable, feeble minded and asinine position.
