Most 2A nuts really only care about the Second Amendment(and maybe a bit of the first, but not the whole thing), the rest of the amendments they couldn't care less about or actually despise. Due process is one of those things, unfortunately. An administration stripping people of said rights SHOULD be an impeachable offence, really sucks that they don't have the votes to actually do it.....
 

wonko the sane?

You may test that assumption at your convinience.

The problem is that most of those 2nd Amendment lovers are MAGAts now. They're perfectly fine watching [insert racist term here] being disappeared. Or them filthy liberals. Or whoever else Glorious Leader says.
and one of them will be brown enough to have ice come after them. We'll still see bloodbaths: and it'll probably be the prelude to trump trying to take away the guns.

CFPB is the agency that was set up to make sure the 2008 financial crisis wouldn't happen again.

Especially considering the US dollar sell-off is continuing:

Side note:
The State Department is saying they will reconsider what they call "Human rights" and strip it down to just what is legally required in their reports. In other words:
'will no longer call governments out for such things as denying freedom of movement and peaceful assembly. They won't condemn retaining political prisoners without due process or restrictions on "free and fair elections."'

So the administration tried to file for a stay on Garcia's case pending appeal(and despite the existing Supreme Court pre-decision), and were soundly thrashed by a REAGAN-appointed judge after a unanimous decision by the 4th circuit appeals court.
It makes for a good read if you have time.

The key issue coming up next in the immigration fight is the judge has not identified a "bad actor" yet. You can't hold "an administration" in criminal contempt -- you have to identify a person whose actions are responsible for the contempt. And this administration thrives on avoiding accountability. Who is ultimately responsible for refusing to facilitate the man's return...POTUS, Secretary of Homeland Security, the Director of ICE? Have ICE or DHS received an official directive from the White House NOT to facilitate, or are they going off of "vibes" and implicit expectations?

The fact that Trump's administration is a clown show without a clear chain of command or communication will become a defense if the judge proceeds with his order of contempt. No one in the Executive Branch actually knows or cares who is officially responsible for fulfilling the judge's order, and they won't be falling over each other to find out.
Per that filing, the specific defendants are:
KRISTI NOEM; TODD LYONS; KENNETH GENALO; NIKITA BAKER; PAMELA JO BONDI; MARCO RUBIO,
So that is who would be found in contempt I would expect.

FB friend:
You can't deter Republicans from yet another dangerous expansion of executive power by asking them how they'll feel once a Democrat is in office and has that power. They plan to rig the system so a Democrat can never occupy the office again.
Just FYI: when Trump's ICE began deputizing and empowering a group of armed civilians like "Veterans on Patrol" to capture and deport anyone they suspect of being an illegal immigrant or member of MS-13, he created a paramilitary group, outside of government oversight, to serve his agenda. Such paramilitary groups are a sign of fascism, as if you needed another sign to see the obvious.
If you believe there are good people in ICE, you're part of the problem.

So who wants to get really mad? Like, blood boiling, cardiac episode level of mad?


Yeah. This is the official White House account.
And this should clarify any doubt about contempt charges.

I rely too much on that bell at the top the screen and when I mostly reply to a couple things for a day or so, it stops telling me stuff is happening in other threads.
