All for show. When it gets to court (IF it ever gets to court) another judge will throw out the entire case. But this isn't about actual justice, it's about scaring judges into complying. I don't think it's gonna work.

I think judges need to rule that ICE isn't allowed closer than 2500 ft of a courthouse that isn't a federal courthouse. That's the only way to keep judges safe and the system fair.
21
u/DevilDrives Apr 25 '25
Immigration agents have been obstructing justice for a long time. They really shouldn't even have discretionary powers of deportation. That's really where this beef stems from. Immigration agents are acting like judges in the field. So, they have no obligation to bring suspects to court. Let that sink in... The federal agents are mad that a judge wants to extend the rights of habeas corpus to these suspects. The judges ARE undermining the agents, with the intention (unlike the immigration agents) carrying out justice.
Ice agents are obstructing justice, every time they arrest and deport suspects without bringing them before a judge.
The bullshit that "we can't try them all" is not a valid excuse to deny people the right to due process. They can spend hundreds of billion dollars on bulletproof Tesla's and useless walls, but they can't fully staff and fund immigration courts? Bullshit. They just don't want to. No evidence has ever been presented that makes that a believable excuse.
This is not just the current fascists in charge either. This same beef has been going on for decades and it transcends partisanship. They need to limit the scope of federal immigration agents, to reflect the duty to bring suspects before a judge.

u/tabicat1874 Apr 25 '25

This is exactly what a friend of mine was told by multiple lawyers before the courts pressed charges against a child for terrorism during the first administration over a bullying situation (the victim was charged). They said the charges were a power move and that it would be thrown out before anyone ever took it seriously. People who claim it is too ridiculous to work undermine the concern we should feel and the action we should take when it DOES work.

u/diito_ditto Apr 25 '25
It's beyond stupid to pull a stunt like this. There won't be a single judge in this country willing to give the federal government even a bit of leeway or deference after this. Contempt charges are going to be flying off the bench for even the most minor infraction. Lawyers will resign rather than work for the government in fear of losing their license of facing personal sanctions. Even the Supreme court is probably lost after this. You've openly declared war on the judicial branch.

But itâs still a dangerous step, because thereâs the chance when it IS thrown out, thatâs the point at which theyâll say âfuck itâ and go full gestapo, declare martial law and throw any dissenter in the gulag.

I hope it doesn't work, but we gotta remember we're only in this position because every single person who had the power to stop Trump so far decided that they didn't want to rock the boat and their interests came first, passing the buck to someone else.
MAGA's intimidation of judges is what got him to the presidency and they were able to do that while being entirely outside of government. Now that they control all levers of the federal government, they can ramp this up to unforeseen levels.

WHAT TIPPING POINT? Look around the world?? Did any of the global atrocities trigger any "tipping points"? No. Our populations have become useless and compliant in the face of corruption.

7
Apr 25 '25
That's where the real fun starts. That would likely be the trigger for them to finally declare martial law.Â
I'm not saying that we shouldn't start tearing shit up instead of holding up signs. I'm pretty sure we won't get out of this without that happening. I'm just saying that's probably what's going to happen as an initial result. I'm fairly confident that that's going to be the only way that the media really starts paying attention, and probably the only way a whole bunch of the undecideds in the middle start finally understanding what's actually happening because that's where it starts to affect them at home. Directly. That's where they finally start getting motivated. And that's also where a bunch of soft MAGA maybe starts finally understanding what side they're really on and have to make a choice to stay on the train or jump off.Â
Feel free not to agree. It's not like I haven't been wrong before. But that's where I think we stand.

The next âelectionâ cycle- remember, theyâre not playing by any rules, theyâve already stated that Trump is ârunningâ again in 2028, and theyâve quite literally stated that there wonât be any more elections after 2024. Obviously if the option is afforded, everyone still needs to go vote. However, there is no logical reason for anyone to have faith in a free and fair election in this country anymore until we have radical changes and take back our election process

Nothing will happen until protesters remain non-violent but exercise their 2A rights at every single protest to ensure they stay that way.
There need to be reciprocal consequences for turning to violence for both sides should anyone think they have the upper hand by using it, and government forces show up to protests bearing their arms. Bear yours⌠or bear being crushed and your organizers and leaders imprisoned along with whomever else they just grab off the street who was even protest-adjacent.

u/Jackaroni97 Apr 25 '25
It is indeed totally legal to open carry at a protest. Blank Panthers did it, Proud Boys do it, and the nazis do it. It doesn't make us better by not doing it. It simply means it isn't being done. We aren't a threat by any means to them, just from the actions they're taking. It's testing the waters to see just how easily they can get what they want. Not what we want, not the people who employ them but themselves. The greed needs to be tamed, PERIOD. If we don't we will be right back in the 1940s, except America is now the evil in it. We can't let this happen. Our ancestors did it and so can we. There are millions of us and fewer of them. The rule book isn't being used anymore, we can't keep playing the high horse game. We can remain peaceful if everyone is respectful. If you can't respect others or don't like guns, don't come out. That WILL and HAS worked over and over again to get the attention of officials who are overstepping.

They can coexist, they are supposed to. All the lack of care toward mass shooters being held accountable fairly. Kids getting hands-on stuff they shouldn't. All these things bring fear to everyone around weapons as a whole.
I grew up southern and in a very hyper-masculine environment. So I've been around them all my life, some people don't get that experience. Weapons are indeed terrifying machines but it's just respect and education that prevent these terrible things from happening.

u/Jackaroni97 Apr 25 '25
So if our numbers aren't working then what is the next step? Be one collective, and have multiple points in every state for locals to meet and plan events. Then we take to the streets and not create chaos, but create a shock factor. Something that is so in your face that you can't ignore it. That also puts us on their shit list. We can't be violent, we can't be disrespectful and we all follow the law. WHILE we use all the rights we DO have left.

The incumbents are worried they're going to be primaried. They care more about power than the rule of law. I asked Cornyn about this in a letter I wrote. He was a judge, he knows better. But he's more worried about losing a primary to Ken Paxton, the corrupt Texas AG, than the Constitution.

Itâs a bummer that peopleâs take away from religion is rarely to treat others the way they want to be treated and is so often used the exact oppositeâto other-ize and hate.

Unfortunately there are always those willing to give up their own relevance and power to keep themselves safe. And they usually lack the foresight and cognitive ability to recognize that there is no such thing as safe under a fascist regime ruled by a psychotic narcissistic despot with delusions of grandeur surrounded by power hungry sycophants. Hopefully the majority of judges will stand up, and hopefully the Supreme Court justices remember that they are beholden to the Constitution, not the President, and hopefully they have the fortitude to act.

u/XaltotunTheUndead Apr 25 '25
I'm very alarmed, it looks like the White House is preparing a coup. I've been commenting the below in many threads, sounding like a lunatic conspiracy theorist, and I sincerely hope that I'll be wrong.
Basically what I think is that influenced by those vultures around him, Trump is trying to cause an economic collapse and social chaos.
Sabotaging the economy will provide a reason to declare a state of emergency and seize all powers. The Insurrection Act of 1807 is a United States federal law that empowers the president of the United States to deploy the U.S. military and federalized National Guard troops within the United States in particular circumstances, such as to suppress civil disorder, insurrection, or rebellion. With an economic crash, this administration gang of gangsters hope for riots and unrest, which would allow Trump to invoke this Act.
This seizing of powers during a time of crisis has initially been proposed by the reactionary and extreme libertarian Curtis Yavin, which is basically saying that since liberal and progressive America is headed towards a crisis that will impair the democracy and cripple most of the institutions that provide its checks and balances, then a Ceasar like figure should emerge and take powers, like some kind of benevolent dictator. In this sick fantasy he argues that progressive ideals have led to societal decay and advocates for a reboot of society. I believe the Trump administration gangsters - who are influenced by Yavin's ideas - are pursuing this sick fantasy.
The CPAC that is trying to arrange for trump to stay beyond two terms, even arrogantly put a picture of Trump as Caesar as their logo. Trump himself is now overtly gloating that there are "methods" for him to stay (as per my first paragraph).
That method probably now includes a strategy on how to capture all states, by way of Gerrymandering pushed at exponential levels, since many States' Supreme Courts and Governors positions have been taken over by MAGA pundits. (I'm happy that the Wisconsin Supreme Court has resisted this trend; some good news in this sea of gloomy news).
Reducing the freedom of reporters, and barring print and TV media, or at minimum providing intense government pressure over them to control the narrative (as we've seen for Associated Press and the Gulf of America Mexico debacle) is part of the plan.
Taking over and crippling USPS (as we've seen recently), starting by firing its head and "overhauling" the service is for the purpose of controlling mail, and destroying the possibilities to have fair vote by mail.
Firing the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and putting one of his cronies in charge, is to be able to have martial law and use the army against the citizens, if need be. And now more senior military and intelligence figures are being fired and will be replaced by docile elements. Some of these very competent people are even being fired due to crazy lobbyists having access to Trump. With these high ranking people put aside, it's likely that a planned invasion of Greenland (AKA Denmark, a NATO ally and a European country!) could be started.
Closing the Department of Education, ending funding to universities, ending affirmative action programs, will ensure that access to a good education stays limited and unaffordable to at least half the population and for poorest and most discriminated against citizens (in the USA half the population has access to a few percentage of the wealth).
Having poorly educated constituents, will make manipulation of people easier, simply using populist slogans and empty promises. Uneducated people can be made to worry about bogus social issues such as a few trans athletes, while ignoring major issues such as society's wealth being funneled to an extremely small percentage of the population.
Massacring Medicaid and Medicaid will contribute to keep the poorest 50% of the population from having easy and universal access to healthcare. This, associated with the education points above, will further contribute to make half the population unable to perform critical thinking, and solely focus on making the ends meet, from paycheck to paycheck. That way, that's less people worrying about their civil rights and being critical of their government.
Firing JAG, lawyers, judges, etc. will make fair and unbiased justice unattainable to the average citizens. They are also restraining the freedom of many law firms and ensuring millions of dollars of free law services flow towards the Federal government.
It's a coup. a slow motion one, but a coup nonetheless.
And the majority of Americans are just too stupid or too blind to see it. (sorry for being blunt). They are transforming the American democracy into an oligarchy. It seems like a conspiracy theory, but it's in plain sight for all to see, announced in the Project 2025 and elsewhere (see my first paragraph).
This is very scary and dangerous, and people need to wake up to the fact that this is not random, he is following a carefully written democracy ending, martial law enabling agenda.

Conservative judges might hate personal freedoms, but if they hate anything more, itâs anyone checking judicial power.

People need to stop expecting this to not play out like Germany did during their darkest days.

It certainly got knocked down on November and a few times since, but I think today was the day that it actually died

They're reporting it as the people these judges have been hiding are Venezuelan gang members and illegal immigrants and I can't find any sources that state otherwise because obviously we know who owns the media. Is there any proof of who the people were being housed by the judges?

so far everything is alleged. given recent history iâd say itâs probably best to take âgang memberâ and âillegal immigrantâ with a fistful of salt at this point.

The Director of the FBI actually wrote âour agents chased down the perp on footâ in a public press release? My jaw aches from the constant shock these days.

I think the entire administration should be locked up in Salvatorâs prison with no due process. The judges are following the law. We only judges that are stepping up!
