They can provide pro bono defense but they could decide to do a shitty job representing their clients.

OOOOH! "private-sector pro bono assistance"!

This must be Trump trying to circumvent the non-suggestion of the Insurrection Act last week.

His way of doing it without declaring it

Military are just bigger cops.

So they're going to make Paul Weiss do the legal work?

Cancel all international events; this country is not a safe destination anymore.

so vigilantes

This is dogwhistle for a deputized brown/blackshirt brigades — or Iran-style revolutionary guards, take your pick

Yes. We gotta stay strong and stick together.

“Militias”

Mercs. Oh, sorry, PMCs.

I think this is also using the techbros and their databases to find people who abhor this government, who protest and even if they have been non-violent, to accuse them of crimes they haven't committed but might. To ratchet up surveillance.

that was exactly the set of words that really jumped out at me....as in, is someone going to be jumping out at me?

Good response- thank you

Yup. And property owning oftentimes also means people. Whether it's chattel slavery or through other, less obvious means.

Slave patrols and antagonizing labor movements. The concept of policing really hasn’t evolved one bit.

I mean obviously policing is a huge problem, especially in America. This post is more about Foucault’s boomerang, and it’s a quote from a decades old sci-fi series.

Ah. “Militias.” I see where this might be headed…

They mean protests people.

Military personnel don't belong anywhere NEAR domestic policing.

Here it comes !!!

I’m asking for anyone to please share this link hoping it reaches people that can help gofund.me/2dd3c67b

Should see a lot of new case law on what constitutes state action for 4th and 5th Amendment purposes.

yep.. you know he's planning to fucking use quid pro quo...

The law firms who thought they were clever enough to cut a deal where they would keep their hands relatively clean. Craven slimy spineless dolts the lot of them…

Our… D-D-D-Dem- Dem… our D…Dem..Democ… errr our government is toast.

Thus the civil war begins

So who has standing to start the legal cases against this awful EO?

Can they do something about the crimes being committed in The White House?

This DOES NOT feel good! 🤬

Martial law and roving militia groups. What could go wrong?

What

The logic is transparent just as for tariffs. Canada has 0.1% of fentanyl across : they become enemies. Dems protest in the streets some crazy new EO : this is an insurrection let’s send the military. Sinking polls make protesters on a collision course with Military in the streets.

True. They just shoot people. Let god sort them out.

It's not really in the police skillset either

I mean if you think being brown is a crime, they have the perfect skill set.

Which crime?

I am not a lawyer and I KNOW POSSE COMITATUS ACT..for fucks sake..

You're right but this administration doesn't care about the constitution of SCoTUS.

The pro-bono stuff is in the section of the EO regarding the provision of legal assistance for dirty cops, not the section dealing with the domestic use of the military. It seems to be referring to the pro bono work the big firms have agreed to do to stay off the Admin’s shit list.

Link to text?

Nothing like lawyering up before you send the police and military out to "assist." I say this, as a lawyer. Everything about this reeks.

Fascist order, straight up!

Martial Law is a great stocking stuffer. Love, Ron Vara

“Private-sector pro bono assistance” so those big law firms that made deals with the administration are going to be helping with neighborhood watch.

It's not vigilantism, it's "pro bono assistance."

Pro Bono? They want them to help for free??
