MAGA Goes Into Full Meltdown Over SCOTUS Ruling on Deportations

“Infested with a parasitical ideology”: Trump allies declare war on the justice system after a surprise 7-2 rebuff.

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.

    Which society is this, and how can I travel to it?

      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!

        Same, this series made me a huge fan of Giamatti, and I try to watch everything he’s in now. He’s so good.

    Yes I am sure the criminal who already ignores courts amd suffers no tangible consequences for it will obey a ruling he does not like.

      The DOJ could technically put an arrest warrant on his subordinates that are not complying with an order.

        And he can pardon them for all crimes and get back to what they were doing. No man, Trump is closer to ending the rule of law than anyone understands… We have to do the right stuff at the right time or were doing fuhrer 2 electric boogaloo by summer

        A public defender who’s overworked and probably not even that good effective 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.

      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.

      Considering how many people they arrest and claim to be terrorists that’s a good thing.

      Break a window on a Tesla? Terrorist!

        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.

        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 😭

    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.

      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 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.

    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.
