"deputizing national guardsmen to act as judges." WTF? What does the average National Guardsman know about immigration law? How many even know that asylum IS governed by an actual law?
It's bad enough that actual immigration judges are apparently dismissing asylum or similar claims at the behest of ICE. One actually said "we all have bosses." That's how people showing up for their regularly scheduled court hearings are getting disappeared outside the courtroom. ICE is the rule of law now in immigration court: the law involved is quotas for grabbing immigrants.
Hey, why not just put them in as judges in all courts?. Who cares if they don't know the difference between theft and burglary, or what constitutes assault in which degree? Or for that matter, the difference is various offenses between misdemeanors and felonies? Just go with the gut.
Unintended conspiracies. Elon, forming a new American political party to defeat certain Maga Republicans will likely only confuse and complicate the midterm elections for Democrats. Obviously no well-informed Partisan, of either persuasion, would be tempted to support Elon, however, as you pointed out, voters are upset with both major parties, and may be willing to transfer their votes to a well funded third-party that will mimic many of the sound bites of the democrats. I am just saying…..

Such frightening times. I’m grateful for your writing, Doug.
At what point do our writing and comments on these platforms become dangerous?
Indeed, this is another in a centuries-long effort to enshrine white, wealthy men as our kings.
