A hearing is part of deportation.

Without Due Process it's literally just human trafficking, which is a felony in every single state.

[–] TON618@lemmy.world 12 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

Without due process Trump would be in jail, so he's very much aware if it's importance.

"Cannot give every person it wants to deport a trial" can be freely translated to "nobody would get deported".

[–] cley_faye@lemmy.world 11 points 5 hours ago

As someone outside the US, I was told that people were very keen on keeping lots of guns to react in case the government tried to pull this kind of shit. When's the part where they react?

I'm sarcastic; I know why it isn't happening, and realistically it would be a terrible thing, but, you know, we're living in the weirdest time.

I knew it - to the qons, the Constitution is just something they like to talk about, but don't really care about.

[–] Kalysta@lemm.ee 46 points 21 hours ago (4 children)

It literally has too. It’s in the constitution.

[–] Orangutanion@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

We passed that point when we ignored the 14th amendment.

[–] Robust_Mirror@aussie.zone 13 points 11 hours ago

I don't think you know the meaning of "has to". The law, including the constitution, isn't any more "real" than money. It only exists because enough people agree it does and follow it.

The fact people have literally already been deported without trial proves they don't "have to".

That's not the reason they're avoiding it, the reason is that they can't be sure that their case will be heard by one of their corrupt justices. They haven't yet covered all their bases.

[–] goldfndr@lemmy.ml 8 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

All their bases aren't belong to them.

For example, Greenland, Diego Garcia and Okinawa are all leased.

[–] Litebit@lemmy.world 8 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

But the constitution gives me constipation. Currently, the Constitution is just toilet paper under Trump bum.

[–] Treetrimmer@sh.itjust.works 28 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

I can't follow all of the laws of this country, there's just simply too many of them

[–] dabailli@feddit.uk 1 points 5 hours ago

If you only consider the ones that are followed, it’s a bit easier

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 34 points 23 hours ago

Then you can't deport, numb nuts.

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 51 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Impeachment doesn't require a congressional vote either then

[–] MyNameIsIgglePiggle@sh.itjust.works 9 points 23 hours ago (5 children)

He's been impeached it didn't do squat

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

In each case, he was acquitted on all counts by the Senate. Gotta make it stick.

[–] MyNameIsIgglePiggle@sh.itjust.works 1 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Oh I thought he got fully convicted but just dabbed, screeched yeet and became president

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

One impeachment came just as he left the presidency so it switched to a "can you impeach an ex-president?" debate.

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 6 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (3 children)

He didn't, it was attempted but never got passed

Edit: I mean he was impeached twice but he got acquitted, I'm not even sure how that is legal cause it shouldn't.

[–] CmdrShepard42@lemm.ee 6 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Republicans blocked any evidence from being presented in the trial, and the Democrats took it lying down which is why he was aquitted.

[–] bender223@lemmy.today 2 points 16 hours ago

Underlying that is also they're scared shitless of his violent cult followers

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 9 points 21 hours ago

Impeach is the term for the trial thingy not getting removed.

[–] Litebit@lemmy.world 5 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

3 times is the charm... 4 times is also the charm... so is 5 times. Keep impeaching him.

How about... We can not give every tax to US that it wants to collect, there is just too many.

[–] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 hours ago

Well yeah, why do you think the billionaires don't pay taxes? Can you imagine counting out all those millions? Just easier to skip them, they give enough as it is already. /s

[–] Sciaphobia@lemm.ee 54 points 1 day ago (2 children)

That's such a coincidence. Some guillotining could be done without trials too!

“THERE were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.”

― Mark Twain, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court

The US CAN, you fucking asswipe. You don't WANT to.

You are like a petulant child, only caring about what you want, you narcissistic prick.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 28 points 1 day ago

Holding trial for the millions of people Trump wants to deport runs the very real and obvious possibility that not all the judges will rubber-stamp the deportations. In fact, you might start running into judges who deliberately obstruct the process because they have a visceral disgust for the practice of mass deportation.

Can't have that, because the goal is to ethnically cleanse the country. Once Trump decides deporting people to El Salvadorian death camps is too difficult / expensive, we're going to start seeing them spring up all over the interior of the country as well.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Lol.

America the brave is sitting by while a fat, orange felon rapist shits on our Constitution and tanks our economy.

Whattt? Is Trump saying that the US of A, the "greatest" country in the world, can't engage in its secondmost favourite activity which is literally suing people?

Not picking favourites, but the Biden administration, not even the Clinton administration, had this "skill issue".

In other words, Trump says he can deport anyone he wants without trial.

Well then it can’t deport all the people it wants to.

But at the same time, my faith in the judicial system is… flagging.

Add it to the list of impeachable charges, we will give orange man a trial regardless.
