@jterno @Patrickwebb A plurality support several of the ideas in the Act. But the majority reject the totality of it. Take it apart and put in just the parts that people agree with, and you might have a winner. Right now it's a loser, and Senators who vote for it are more likely to fail re-election.

@luciushelios @pmarca The physical laws of the universe, as best we understand them via quantum theory, are emergent behaviour of fundamentally random events. Even given religious faith that physical laws were created intentionally by some entity not bound by them, subsequent development is random.

@MoosePebble @LeadingReport Prioritizing which laws will be enforced is an administrative decision, so yes, they can effectively nullify Federal criminal law by executive order.

@dudley111199 @KaeleyT In Coeur D'Alene, the antisemitism is almost entirely on the right. It's also a bit ironic, since Idaho was the first state to have a Jewish governor.

@wrath_of_dom @LeadingReport If you think that's what the SAVE act does, you should probably read it before embarrassing yourself further.

@CptAllenHistory @grok When did they board the ships, when did they arrive in Canada, and when were they allowed to leave the internment camp?

@nypost The picture has six people in it. You've pixellated the face (or, in one case, the back of his head) of the three white people, but not the three non-white people. Why?

@idahofreedom In 1776 the colonies which later formed the United States were still part of England. That's what you are seeking?

@mszinck @wartranslated No, they shouldn't. Attacking civilians, either intentionally or negligently, is a war crime. And civilians in Crimea means Ukrainians, doing what they can under military occupation. Not a good target.

@SusanRoger54880 @atrupar If someone is in custody, ICE can come by and pick them up. That's not the issue. The problem is, ICE sends its detainer request, but the person named by that order posts bail, or no charge was filed, and ICE doesn't bother showing up to take custody.

[Magic Voice @magicvoice68]

@RoguePOTUSStaff "Concentration camp" is not a hyperbolic metaphor; the phrase was originated by the British during the Boer war in south Africa, to describe a place to detain non-combatants presumed to be enemies.

[Magic Voice @magicvoice68]

@SusanRoger54880 @atrupar The problem is that once the person is released from custody, the state doesn't have authority to detain her; only the Feds do. The writ is not a warrant. If it turns out the Feds picked the wrong guy -- maybe the name is the same -- it's the state that has to pay the judgement.

@333nikita @BLaw A bank can be told not to do business with a particular client. That is a way of punishing that client for saying or doing something that annoys the administration, when direct punishment would violate the 1st Amendment.

[Magic Voice @magicvoice68]

@Water__Wagon @BLaw I think you meant "adversary" where you wrote "advisory".

[Magic Voice @magicvoice68]

@SusanRoger54880 @atrupar But the state does. When ICE requests a "detainer" on someone, they are asking the state to arrest the person without a warrant. When the state says, We can't do that, you have to arrest her yourself, ICE derides the state as a "sanctuary state".

[Magic Voice @magicvoice68]

@SusanRoger54880 @atrupar The fourth amendment says cities and states can't just lock someone up because ICE says they might be illegal. They need a warrant supported by a sworn affidavit. When they violate the Constitution, they also risk a bunch of their taxpayers' money from a lawsuit.

@VictorishB123 @RyanWeather You think a population boom doubling population was impossible? You think increased reliance on coal, tripling usage, was impossible? With a falling birthrate and concerns about global warming, it became politically impossible, but that was not inevitable.

[Magic Voice @magicvoice68]

@VictorishB123 @RyanWeather RCP-8.5 is a worst-case scenario. Saying "the RCP-8.5 scenario didn't happen, so obviously it was a pack of lies" is irrational. The definition of a worst-case scenario is that it's 99% likely that the actual outcome will be better.

[Magic Voice @magicvoice68]

@SusanRoger54880 @atrupar The cities that are sometimes called "sanctuary cities" do follow US law. What ICE wants is for people who *might* be undocumented kept in jail without charges until ICE gets around to detaining them, maybe. But ICE has part immunity, the city gets sued for 4th Amendment breach.
