So I guess that makes it kidnapping?
When the government unlawfully incarcerates people, whose responsibility is it to step up and free them?
The social contract that is a state gives the state a monopoly on violence, allowing the state to revoke individual freedom if an individual breaks certain laws. If the state starts abusing that monopoly you have a certain window to oppose it before opposition becomes hopeless.
Once the government has shown that it will incarcerate dissidents, it's only a matter of time until enough dissidents are incarcerated that no one else sticks their neck out. "Right now" is the window you have until this happens. The government's monopoly on violence needs to be broken when they abuse it, which means today. Explicitly, this means that if unlawfully incarcerated people are not broken out by force, this only gets worse.
It's officially a hostage situation.
Fascist fucks. They just can’t wait can they.
Absolutely saw that response coming. That’s the thing about bullshit charges, they can always come up with new ones.
The ‘party of law and order’ in action folks
This is the hill they're willing to die on, all for this one guy, who they clearly made a mistake with. If they cared at all about the optics, they'd go through the charade of preserving the Constitution. There is no scenario where Donald the fat fuck Trump has not violated his presidential oath.
It’s a test run, that they’re winning. They are proving that they can pick up anyone and obfuscate endlessly and there’s nothing you can do. This combined with other use cases will end with natural born US citizens being blacked bag a la KGB.
Definitely.
KGB employed at least somewhat capable people. Here I see some fat dumbfucks barely capable of walking 3 metres straight, ramming people with their trucks because they're brown
Fascists
Rule 4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
You are seriously misrepresenting the content of this article with that title change.
The judge has ruled that while the specific foreign policy argument for detaining him does not pass legal scrutiny, the government is still within their rights to hold him for other reasons.
That doesn't mean his detention is just and fair; it means that his lawyers have more work to do. But the government gets to keep him in detention in the meantime. That sucks, but it doesn't mean that the Trump administration is openly defying the court, which is what this title change is claiming.
that was the title when I submitted it
You can update the title of your post to reflect the updated title of the article. One of the distinct advantages of Lemmy.
Fair enough, not your fault, but I want to strongly recommend that you update. As I stated in my previous comment, the title at the time that you posted seriously misrepresents the character and nature of the events being described. People are absolutely right to be aware the Trump is making moves to defy the judiciary, and that's a five alarm fire if he's doing it, but it's precisely because of how serious those moves are that it's really important not to cry wolf about them, even unintentionally.
