Schiff on the SAVE Act: "Jonathan, what you've just asked is essentially, Republicans have created distrust in the elections by making claims of nonexistent fraud, and shouldn't we use the distrust they've created in order to enact a voter suppression law?"

SAVE Act has nothing to do with voter ID, that's not in there. It creates deliberately difficult hurdles for registration to vote, where a DL-type ID isn't sufficient. But states that don't check ID at the polls would not be required to start. Every time they claim it's a "voter ID" bill is a lie.
NBC: Is Trump suggesting the federal government count votes in elections?
LEAVITT: What he's suggesting is that Republicans and Democrats in Congress should pass the Save America Act. It will require voter ID to vote and proof of citizenship to register to vote.

Again, claiming that members of the other party cannot, in fact, share your broad religious faith is 100% at odds with the basic idea of the National Prayer Breakfast.
And saying Democrats shouldn't be at a non-partisan event "because they certainly don't give us the vote" is just batshit insane.

He cannot be clearer. There is no difference to him between bombing random fishermen on boats and shooting Americans protesters in the face
I swear this clip is not edited. Trump pivots from downplaying the killing of Renee Good and Alex Pretti ("two people out of tens of thousands and you get bad publicity") to in the very next breath claiming "we've been very tough on the waters," leaving Tom Llamas baffled ("the waters?")

Denaturalization as criminal punishment is not a thing in American law, it's unconstitutional under any circumstances. It can only be done in the narrow case of somebody who fraudulently obtained the naturalization itself. Otherwise they are no different from natural-born citizens who commit crimes.
Schmitt: "Your words that don’t mean anything aren't going to stop what’s coming, and I want you to take that back to Soros and all these ridiculous funders you have. Because justice is coming. And by the way, if I have it my way, we will be denaturalize all these fraudsters and send them home."

Q: You're a constitutional lawyer. Can you detail the 4th Amendment protections someone has if ICE approaches their home w/an administrative warrant?
