Tr*mp blast Supreme Court. "We can't give everyone a trial"

Trump blasts Supreme Court while arguing trials for migrants ‘not possible’
President Trump on Monday complained of being “stymied at every turn” by the courts, arguing the administration can’t hold trials for migrants it plans to deport amid accusations they are gang members.

The remark was Trump’s first on the topic since the Supreme Court agreed to intervene early Saturday morning, halting flights as the administration prepared to use the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelan migrants, presumably to a prison in El Salvador.

Hopefully you won't have a trial before you're sent to prison!

[Liberal In Texas]

1. Maybe if you had more immigration courts and judges!

Like the Dems have been asking for for years.

Jeeze, how else does anyone prove you're lying about them?

I guess that inconvenient Constitution is getting in the way of being a dictator.

[mopinko]

3. more courts has always been the solution.

ppl skip the system, cuz the system is broken, ON PURPOSE.
how else ya gonna keep the flow of frightened and desperate workers?

[Grins]

27. Yes. For years.

Going back to at least Smirky McBush. Republicans blocked all new requests for additional judges. Or even paralegals to help plaintiff and the courts.

2. Hopefully he WILL have a trial.

And hopefully it will be covered in the press like Watergate and Iran Contra. And, hopefully, the electorate will pay attention and remember. (I realize that there is no f'ing chance for that.)

[mdbl]

22. Fux news will just yell witch hunt

and the magats will all cheer.

[markodochartaigh]

24. True.

But trials should be about discovering and exposing the truth. Having the truth available is important to democracy. If a part of the electorate chooses to ignore the truth, that weakens democracy, but that part of the electorate was always going to be detrimental to democracy.

[Ray Bruns]

4. Yes you can. You don't want to have the trials is the problem.

[allegorical oracle]

23. Yep. Somehow more than 1,265 J6 rioters received trials -- and that's just the

number as of January 5, 2024. It did take three years. But that's due process.

By Alexander Mallin
January 5, 2024

In the three years since the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the U.S. Capitol, federal prosecutors have charged more than 1,265 defendants across nearly all 50 states and D.C. and secured sentences of incarceration for more than 460 people, according to newly released numbers from the U.S. Attorney's Office in D.C.

Of the more than 1,265 individuals charged since Jan. 6, 2021, department prosecutors have secured more than 718 guilty pleas -- including 213 who pleaded to felonies that include assaults on federal officers, obstructing law enforcement and seditious conspiracy.

[SarcasticSatyr]

5. He's an idiot . . .

and "due process" does not necessarily involve a trial, but it should involve a careful review of the facts of the case.

[allegorical oracle]

34. He's also talking about "tens of thousands" illegals. A number that large

suggests he plans on arresting people who aren't necessarily illegal.

[newdeal2]

6. And then at the trial, they'd have to provide actual evidence to prove their accusations

I think that’s the part that he’s really pissed about. Much easier to disappear people and then lie about the reasons.

[allegorical oracle]

35. Definitely opens the door to arresting anybody he dislikes if he doesn't have

to explain why someone is being arrested.

[Orrex]

7. His statement is meant to lay the foundation...

For a declaration of a state of emergency and subsequent martial law. If the courts “can’t handle” the “immigrant crisis,” then martial law will be “necessary” to “protect” Americans from “rapists, murderers, and drug smugglers.”

[mn9driver]

18. This.

He respects nothing. Certainly not the constitution.

[sop]

8. "We can't give everyone (fill in the blank)."

Typical rightwing, white nationalist Republican ideology: only certain classes of people are worthy.

[Marthe48]

9. felon stopping his delay tactics

Frivolous lawsuits, and ignoring jurisprudence that force people to bring fresh charges against his activities would free up a lot of courts and judges.

[tanyev]

10. Especially not with him tying up the courts with all his lawsuits

and appealing every damn thing he loses all the way up to the Supreme Court.

[Ohioboy]

11. If you're sending someone to prison you need a trial

Trump is not just deporting people. He's giving them an undetermined prison sentence!
There's a big difference.

And to add to the sickness of the whole thing, Kristi Neom takes photos of herself posing with the prisoners to brag about it.

[surfered]

12. "I alone will determine the truth."

[spanone]

13. Bullshit donnie.

You got your fucking due process, asshole.

[Tanuki]

15. He swore an oath to uphold the Constitution,

even if his hand wasn't actually on the Bible. This statement alone should force the treasonous POS him to resign in disgrace.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

20. The Constitution grants rights to all ** residents **. Only a few rights are restricted to citizens, like voting . . nt

[sakabatou]

28. We all know he'd burn the document to ashes.

[lonely bird]

16. Hey, Donnie?

Go take a flying fuck at a rolling donut.

You literally have been keeping the legal industry afloat with you bullshit lawsuits. So stop whining about brown people having the right to the legal process.

[Johonny]

17. I have a settlement, lets have Trumps two trials

And when he is convicted, everyone gets a trial . . . Sound like a deal?

[rickford66]

19. Didn't each Jan 6 tourist get a trial ?

[ancianita]

21. Each got the choice of a jury trial or a trial before a federal judge. Almost all chose the latter.

[twodogsbarking]

25. Isn't it, like, the President's job to make sure everyone gets a fair trial.

[OLDMDDEM]

26. Maybe New York should have sent Dumpy to Rikers Island.

[Ping Tung]

29. You should just pardon the refugees, kids, workers, and migrants. Just like you did for the lovable J6 thugs.

We live in an era where masses of people come and go across a hostile planet, desolate and violent. Refugees, emigrants, exiles, deportees. We are a tragic contingent.

30. Money for gold and billionaire tax breaks. No money for US court system.

[pat_k]

31. Course not. Too busy shoveling our tax / tariff dollars to the top 1% (nt)

[republianmushroom]

32. Says the man who has had how many trails and appeals ?

Screw you trump.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

33. Yes you can because the Constitution requires it.

Do your fucking job or resign, you big crybaby.

[twodogsbarking]

36. He has his day in court; every day. They will only be there once.
