U.S. officials said in court filings on Sunday that they were not obligated to help a Maryland resident get out of prison in El Salvador after he was erroneously deported, despite a Supreme Court ruling directing the government to “facilitate” his return to the United States.
Attorneys for the administration of President Donald Trump said the high court’s order to “facilitate” the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia meant they should “remove any domestic obstacles that would otherwise impede the alien’s ability to return here,” not help extract him from El Salvador.
This is the beginning of the end of the Republic.
that was 2016. and it’s been awhile in the making.
just a few of the highlights: 60s-70s goldwater/nixon and the southern strategy… the 80s reaganomics, deregulation, abolishment of fairness doctrine… the 90s newt & co, the rise of far-right media… 2000 scotus stopping the count and picking the ‘winner’… 2010 citizens united.
The beginning was like two months ago; we’re now about 40% of the way in.
That’s not the beginning, it’s more than halfway past now
