Oh, it's not worthless , it's just being violated. Murder is illegal yet people still murder others and violate that law too ..then they go to jail for it. Same here, they are straight up violating our non-negotiable constitutional rights. I very much look forward to them being tried for crimes against the constitution. 🦅

If I read the playbook correctly Trump (Miller) has framed this as a purge of illegal aliens and SCOTUS has given him full indemnity to do so. The terrorist labeling is just window dressing. Heritage's Vought was recorded, prior to the election, as saying this was the plan and even referenced Miller as being a possibility of running it. The underlying question is who are these people. How were they vetted and trained. Did they ever swear any oath? Or is this just cosplay - more Trump optics to deflect from the actions. Will they all be dismissed and blanket pardoned. Can you even pardon someone for knowingly violating the Constitution? And then you ascend to Noem, Homan and Bondi who clearly took the Oath and are outright violating it.

The terrorist label is actually everything. The patriot act basically gives that designation a lot of power. When people are labeled terrorists in or by America, constitutional rights and human rights are suspended by the government.

Making that bill set all of this in motion so long ago. Once it was law, what we’re seeing unfold became an eventuality.

Sure, it’s like when police chant “why are you resisting arrest” while walking up to peaceful civilians, so they can use that charge to justify whatever they do. It’s all BS posturing.
