Losing everywhere in courts, so now you think you can just sidestep them by changing the constitution? Lolz

      “privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it.”

      That’s the wording in the constitution. They just say that undocumented migrants amount to an invasion and they can suspend it.

      It’s not like the supreme court is going to override them on that.

      They have any and every “right” that no one denies them by actual force of action. The courts will wag their finger and the administration will say “You’re a Marxist, I don’t have to listen to you. Fuck you.”

      :(

    Fine, let’s arrest Trump for treason and rape and when he says he can’t be prosecuted because he’s the President, we tell him “no you’re not, and you will never see the inside of a court room. You have no right to habeas corpus.” Then straight to the guillotine with him.

      the administration is under foreign influence, that’s more an ‘invasion’ than the ‘immigration problem’.

        A combination of foreign control and control by domestic religious fanatics in violation of the 1st amendment protections against a merger between church and state.

    Good! The Founders CLEARLY only Wrote the Constitution to Protect SCHOOL SHOOTERS and LITERALLY nothing Else! So EVERY OTHER PART of the Constitution like writ of habeas corpus can ACTUALLY be IGNORED!

    BUT you DARE NOT IGNORE the Part that allows ME, a PRO LIFE REPUBLICAN, to SHOOT UP AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL!
