Temporary Restraining Order to be granted tomorrow in the Chicago case filed by journalists, pastors, and others hit with riot control munitions by ICE!

Ellis rules that the plaintiffs have standing for their case. She cites the "ongoing and sustained record of conduct" by federal agents gathered over the last month.

She further finds the plaintiffs have plausibly shown feds have "frustrated" efforts to "protect journalist safety."

To be fair
He did say
"If"

And if that happened
It would be wrong.

But it doesn't happen.

Texas AG Ken Paxton hired a former staffer to work on a recent case. As a state employee, her labor would have cost taxpayers $641.

As a private attorney, Paxton allowed her to bill $3,780 an hour, so that day of work cost taxpayers $24,570.

When he started trashing the Constitution instead of defending it
He had taken an oath
And he violated that oath.

If a president can unilaterally put people or groups on a list and kill them, there is no meaningful limit to his use of force.

Just recently re-watched that excellent Mini-Series:

‘Band of Antifa Brothers’

Brilliant Show..where they focus on an American Army Co. within the 101st Airborne Division (Easy Co.) & their heroic deeds holding off the…FASCISTS in WW2.

Yeah, that’s right, they were Anti-Fascists. 🤔

Getting in the way of ice is not against the law if they are doing something that is illegal for them to do. They don't have authority to search without a warrant. They don't have authority to shoot people who haven't done violence to them. They don't have authority to zip tie kids.
