Dictatorship, Incoming

In response to a question from a blogger for the far-right Gateway Pundit about when the Trump administration could start “suspending the writ of habeas corpus to take care of the illegal immigration problem”, White House deputy chief of staff for policy Stephen Miller said the Trump administration is “actively looking at” doing so.
...
Miller told the blogger, Jordan Conradson, he had made a point of calling on first: “The Constitution is clear, and that, of course, is the supreme law of the land, that the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus can be suspended in time of invasion. So it’s an option we’re actively looking at. Look, a lot of it depends on whether the courts do the right thing or not”.

Let's be crystal clear on this: A "suspension" of habeus corpus means that they could snatch up whomsoever they want, toss them into a cell and the person grabbed would have no recourse. It is what Pee Wee German has been aiming for since 2016 and now he sees it almost within his grasp. The GOP is going full fascist without a peep of protest from any of its sitting legislators (except maybe Rand Paul).

And it makes a mockery of those who said that having to wear a mask during a pandemic was tyranny. Real tyranny is the government snatching people off the street without legal process and the right to a trial.

Also, this, from Sam Stein:

If I understand the White House's current messaging it's that the border is completely under control unlike ever before in history, crime is dramatically down across the board, but we are also under such an invasion that we have to suspend habeas corpus?

Yep, that's exactly right.
