Yes—- YES YOU CAN HAVE A WARRANT EVERY TIME—— the LAW REQUIRES IT!! No other administration has had a problem with issuing warrants. Just Trump’s. Because it interferes with their unlawful deportation goals!

This is their new talking point, and they all deliver it like they "nailed it". They seem to be completely clueless that it goes directly against the constitution they all purport to carry in their pockets. It is not hyperbole to say the fed government kidnapping people without warrants is fascism.

Just imagine for one minute if Obama was in the WH, ICE was targeting white people, buying up warehouses to incarcerate white people who were randomly dragged from their homes, out of their cars & businesses, handcuffed & disappeared. Think about the outraged (heads exploding) Republican responses.

More specifically: 1. The First Amendment is for Christians and expressing bigotry on private online platforms only. 2. The Second Amendment is for white conservatives only. 3. The Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments are inconvenient and optional.

We're not a democracy, we're a republic. And that means that the federal government gets to ignore the Constitution as long as it's run by Republicans and not by Democrats. That's some Constitutional theory you got there. What do you call it? Originalism!

Today I’m going to the White House. When I reach security, I’ll be asked if I have an appointment. I’ll say “I can’t have an appointment every time.” I should still be able to get in, right? 🤷‍♂️

Hmmm — but women can be required to haul a briefcase full of documents to the polls to vote. Every time. And people who aren’t white enough can be required to haul around all their documentation of legal residency all day every day. Rules for you peasants, not for the Epstein class.

I’ll just point out that this is the guy who sponsored a bill last year to let Trump buy Greenland and rename it to “Red, White, and Blueland”. I am not making this up.

* "we can't have a warrant every time," while it echoes the historical reality of the Gestapo's unchecked power, it is a line from the 2001 film "Conspiracy," spoken by the character of Adolf Eichmann during the dramatization of the Wannsee Conference. *

The republicans have the majority in congress why don’t the pass a law that says they can ignore the constitution when it is an inconvenience.

If the Constitution doesn’t apply in every situation, it doesn’t apply in any situation. Which means Buddy is just some douche w/a microphone & DHS a collection of thugs rampaging our communities who need put down. See how rules of our nation work, Buddy?

Either you are for the Constitution or you are not, it's not a pick & choose document. This is the same reason we still argue in court the merits of a death penalty. You want vengeance/eye for an eye = too fucking bad because we have a constitution. If MAGA don't like it they are free to leave.

"You can bring your gun to the Sonic Drive-in and scare the shit out of the car-hops" = "YES. THE SECOND AMENDMENT GUARANTEES YOUR RIGHT TO SCARE TEENAGERS" "You have to get warrants to arrest people in their houses" = "FOURTH AMENDMENT? WE HAVE MORE THAN TWO? THE FUCK KIND OF COMMIE SHIT IS THAT?"

All their arguments are about how they can't possibly follow the rule of law in order to continue their fascist terror campaign. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Rep. Buddy Carter: "Some of the demands that the Democrats have put forth, we're not gonna be able to obtain that. We can't have a warrant every time."

So "Buddy" Carter says the 4th Amendment should not be taken literally. I wonder how many hundreds of times this assclown has said "shall not be infringed".

Average citizen:"Some of the demands that the legal system have put forth, we're not gonna be able to obtain that. We can't have enough money to pay for everything we walk out of the store with every time. And it's nearly impossible to return all the cars we test-drive."

The thing is, you need probable cause to get a warrant. And if you don’t need probable cause you’re going to be assaulting law abiding people and their families just because you’re in a mood.

Why not Buddy? What circumstance are you imagining where you don’t have time to get a warrant? Not like they are going to flee the country if you don’t move fast enough, their “crime” is being here.

ICE doesn't want to HAVE to follow the constitution. I was bitching about this A YEAR AGO. Finally, someone's complaining. THANK GOD. They can all kiss my shiny metal ass.

The only time you don’t need a warrant is when you fall under the exceptions where they aren’t needed you idiot. Which usually involves exigent circumstances, which being an immigrant doesn’t fall under!

Such circumstances include emergency situations or crimes that are occurring, plain view where the evidence is in plain view, a search during a LAWFUL arrest, and finally consent. Notice how none of that applies to an immigrant, so get a f**king warrant

Openly admitting following the Constitution is optional when it doesn’t expedite their racist agenda. Maybe a reporter should do their job and ask why exceptions apply in this case but never for the 2nd Amendment. 🤷‍♀️

Please Buddy, do go on with something like "you just know" or "go with your instincts" "in the moment", but see if you can do it without sounding like a racist troll. My guess? You can't.

He might as welll say, "Golly Gosh, we just can't uphold the Constitution of the United States, statutory law or judicial precedent, it's too hard"

The media is willingly platforming fascists openly calling for the violation of multiple constitutional right without providing any pushback at all. This is how Fox dictates what the MSM covers. They just repeat things over and over and the rest of the media hops on because Fox said it mattered.

It’s definitely hard to convince a judge to issue a warrant for the *civil* offense of an expired visa, er being brown.

So many variations on that theme: "We can't have an election every time" "We can't have a debate every time" "We can't have an appropriation every time" "We can't have a trial every time"
