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 days ago* (last edited 5 days 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".

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

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 9 points 6 days ago (2 children)

All their bases aren't belong to them.

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".

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

[–] Orangutanion@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

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

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 54 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Impeachment doesn't require a congressional vote either then

[–] MyNameIsIgglePiggle@sh.itjust.works 10 points 6 days ago (5 children)

He's been impeached it didn't do squat

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 6 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days 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.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 9 points 6 days ago

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

[–] CmdrShepard42@lemm.ee 6 points 6 days 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.

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

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago (2 children)

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

Just a pull of an index finger.

I thought this was how he was elected.

[–] Sciaphobia@lemm.ee 55 points 6 days ago (2 children)

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

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 38 points 6 days ago (1 children)

“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

That's metal af.

*should

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 35 points 6 days ago

Then you can't deport, numb nuts.

[–] Treetrimmer@sh.itjust.works 28 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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

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.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 19 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Lol.

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

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 6 days 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

[–] veniasilente@lemm.ee 13 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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".

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

[–] TheKMAP@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 6 days ago

I think everyone in this thread needs to re-watch the scene where Littlefinger and Cercei discuss power.
