Dem Post Mortem

[ZiprHead]

Now I've come to the conclusion that Constitutional law means jackshit to the Trump Party and that nearly every charge of weakness and flaccidity leveled against the Democratic party is undeniably true.

Welcome to 21st century USA.
I've been watching this happen for decades.

It's erosion started decades ago and now that's come to its fruition.

The only thing we can hope for is that those in power e.g. SCOTUS will exercise their conscience(s) and professional obligations....

Biden should have stacked the court. Maybe he still can.

I obviously was too subtle with my reference to millions of imaginary people. It is not simply the raw numbers (which ARE exaggerated, especially with regard to time scale, they are claiming those numbers each year)

They certainly are in the millions per year now.

Note that these are apprehensions, who end up in the US because of "catch and release". How many more sneak by border patrol agents?
This level of influx is clearly unsustainable, especially when it is very difficult to deport people.

Would you prefer they weren't apprehended?

but the alleged nature of these immigrants - for instance, that they all are carting in a big package of Fentanyl ready to corrupt the American people. If this was true then these immigrants wouldn't be super poor.

Why do you think the drug mules themselves would be well off?

Also Americans should take some responsibility for their drug indulging habit. Drug dealers are only successful because there are so many drug buyers/consumers. Also, they are not all illegals.

Addictions are hard to kick, especially to opioids. And drug dealers make their product more dangerous by lacing it with fentanyl.

The vast majority of drugs that come in come in on commercial semi trucks and trailors driven by red blooded Americans.

Of course not. I was just showing that spacetime inhabitant was wrong when he claimed that the numbers are exaggerated.

I buy that commercial trucks are most often used for drug smuggling, although human mules are used as well. I even buy that the truck drivers are not from Vulcan.
But do you have a citation about the nationality of the "vast majority" of the truck drivers?

But what body of adequate authority ever determined that it was an insurrection?? That's where I have a problem--if a suitable body declares that 1/6 was an insurrection then he should be yeeted on the 14th. But that didn't happen--remember the various red areas talking about yeeting Biden on "insurrection"?

Keep moving those goalposts, Captain.

Just because I disagree with what Colorado did doesn't make me think The Felon is good. Colorado jumped the gun as far as I'm concerned--you haven't addressed my point about others planning the same thing for nonsense reasons.

You may disagree with the Colorado decision (and I'd like to see you point to the sections of the decision you actually disagree with) but that doesn't mean that the issue wasn't addressed by an adequate authority.

I don't believe it's something that can be decided at the state level.

And we have courts and court rules to take care of the "nonsense reasons", though perhaps you would simply state that some red state's Supreme Court would be too corrupt to not declare Biden an insurrectionist without any credible evidence. I guess there's no arguing against that kind of logic, eh?

You trust the red state courts on something like this??

do you have a logical reason to not? Or just partisan hate? Basically you are agreeing with me that you believe our system is hopelessly corrupt.

And by the way, If Alabama kept Biden off the ballot as an insurrectionist I doubt it would have an impact on the election outcome.

Not according to the wording of the amendment.

You are yet again ignoring Section 5.
