Trump Uses Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to Deport TdA Gangsters; Dems Once Again Take the "20" Side of an 80/20 Issue

You've undoubtedly heard the phrase get Medieval on your ass...

Well, Trump is getting early national period on their asses.

It's very satisfying, actually.

Now...is it legal?

I do not know.

Remember: not a lawyer.

And if it isn't legal, it isn't legal.

This is where it gets thrown over to the courts and, within reason, they decide.

I'm good with that.

I want to draw attention to the other most salient aspect of this case: that the left takes up the anti-American side in virtually every argument. I can't find it now, but the timeline associated with these deportation flights is pretty amazing. As 250 gangsters and other criminals are being flown out of the country, leftist open-borders/anti-America/pro-crime activists--including the remnants of the once-proud ACLU--kicked into action to try to turn the planes around. They've judge-shopped ahead of time, and rushed to one of their reliably-leftist judges...and here we are.

Again: I understand that protecting people's rights isn't always popular, and doesn't always seem to make sense at a gut level.

I'm not oblivious to that fact.

But just step back and take a look at this shit.

These people--including the remnants of the ACLU--don't (or barely) raise a finger to protect freedom of speech, Second Amendment rights, etc. of ordinary, law-abiding Americans. They have become focused almost exclusively on advancing the interests of criminals and wackos, and opposing the rights and interests of ordinary people.

I'm not denying that they might be right given the details of the law--how would I know at this point?

I'm saying that, when a group or a faction consistently seeks to enforce (sometimes very fine) points of law only when it is destructive of the nation and the public good, this is a notable fact that we ought to recognize and keep in the forefront of our minds. It's important.

Are there innocent people among the deported?

I wouldn't be surprised.

Should we work to get innocents released?

Yes.

Of course.

Who would deny that?

But spare a thought for the other glaring fact here: the fact that the left is religiously devoted to principles that entail the destruction of the country and the lives of ordinary Americans. 

Deporting murderers and rapists??? REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

The Trump administration says that it's eager for this to go to the Supremes--and says that it will win.

Reynolds, in the link, says--and I think he's right--that one of Trump's strengths is his knack for getting the Dems to take up the 20 side of 80/20 issues. They are so irrationally anti-Trump that they oppose him even when he's obviously right (not that it's obvious in the case at hand). I think there's truth in that...but also: the Dems have just abandoned common sense. They've already taken up--or are committed to principles that push them to take up--the 20 end in a lot of cases.

As others have asked: Does the left want to destroy the country?

And:

What would they be doing differently if they did?

Not much, it sometimes seems...

Nevertheless: it would be good to get a SCOTUS ruling on this.
