I don't think people who DO have a criminal record should be disappeared to a Salvadoran prison either

This is right, of course. But we also need to keep making the argument about how indiscriminately they used the Alien Enemies Act. Even though criminal records shouldn’t matter, we have to hit them with everything we’ve got.

We Leftists wrote the Bill of Rights the way we did and shoved it down the throats of the right-wingers in 1791 for a reason, and we need to get up off or knees and demand that they live up to it, or the effort we put into it, and into defeating right-wingers in 1865 and 1945 were all for nothing.
