@vanhollen.senate.gov has been totally on point in his media appearances. Very strong message. Love it.

👏👏👏

The strawman fallacy is the #1 reason why society is bereft of logic.

Best perspective of them all!

The courts should order all of them back.

"Goodbye America," 2025. Collage on cardboard.

Unfortunately too many people will dismiss the man, but will be alarmed at the notion that it might happen to them.

Van Hollen for President.

Yeah but with this administration penchant for lying I’m pretty sure I don’t believe the government one stinking inch.

We all have the right to due diligence and a fair trial or hearing. No one is guilty until proven in court. It’s part of living in a democracy.

Yep, if everyone doesn’t have it, ultimately nobody does.

Let the DOJ present their evidence. If ANY one lacks due process, EVERY one will lose it

Also apparently Zoom is OK too since courts use Zoom now.

This is the most important thing he's said during his involvement...

Simple. Due process. Courts decide not an outrageous concept. GOP ever hear of it???

🎯

Maybe because it's too sad to contemplate how he's being used

yeah - but more attention needs to be paid to his constitutional wrongs by others in DC.

Love that quote, every single show host couldn't respond to that. That is the point, they broke the law and are ignoring Constitutional rights.

Amerikkka?

If there is no legal force protecting OUR rights WE have no rights.

Exactly. This is about the rights of people and following laws. We might decide to change laws, but until then they must be followed.

This is the way!

as simple as it gets

If rights are gone for one, they are in fact gone for all...

All of our constitutional rights. Not just one man's.

Good to know we can still keep in touch!

I really hope that thought gets a hook in somebody's brain who needs to hear it and can understand the real argument here...

I’m a Texan, and my Senators are a disgrace. I am happy for all the Marylanders though.

That sort of erodes Trump’s argument.

Trumps doing it to pump up his criminal deportation numbers. Numbers look better if they are not rotting in our jails.

YES YES YES 1-Freedom & Individualism 2-Equality 3-Hard Work & Self-Reliance 4-Democracy & Rule of Law 5-Diversity & Inclusion 6-Innovation & Progress CHOOSE AMERICAN VALUES !!! REJECT FASCISM !!!

It's the flip side of not necessarily respecting the office holder but still respecting the office. In both cases, some people can't or won't differentiate between the two.

Yet another tyrannical, impeachable offense.

WHY PROTEST? Because it is easier than hiding a family in your attic. That's what my grandparents did with several Jewish families and children in Antwerp before smuggling them to Spain!

Wise words to remember as this fight goes on

At this point, I want to vouche for both the man and his rights

More democrats should be speaking on this. This isn’t a complicated issue to be afraid of regardless of how the maga regime tries to spin it. We all spoke out against torture but it didn’t mean we were standing up for the terrorist.

Thank the lord

This is exactly what the rule of law is about. It is not about supporting someone, but about defending the rights that we all deserve.

Nice podcast this week, I always learn something, always get invigorated to keep up the fight

Weather I agree with Mr. Garcia has a legal right to be here, or that he might be a gang member, or that he might be a criminal. He has a right to have his day in court. If Trump and his cult can spit on his constitutional rights, he can surely do that to ours! No! TRUMP! Resign now!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“Seems” isn’t the point here. The man is innocent until proven guilty. Where is the evidence that Kilmer is guilty?

Yeah this isn't like the ACLU going to bat for Skokie Nazis

...and by extension everyone's constitutional rights.

spine? weak

exactly... and I think the point gets whataboutismed in fact the "question" he was answering was an attack of Mr Abrego Garcia

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 as it should be.

Ted Bundy and Jeffery Dahmer got a defense teams and due process. Even though the evidence was staggering that they were guilty and that their crimes were beyond horrific. Due process isn't only for 'good guys' it is literally for everyone or it is for no one.

Such a simple statement that eviscerates every argument this administration has made about deporting people to El Salvador.

Exactly. Constitutional Rights are universal & not afforded only to those deemed perfect or good enough by the masses. The masses are, in fact, ignorant by virtually any measure. 54% of US adults cannot read, write or comprehend anything better than the avg 6th grader. 20%+ are entirely illiterate.

I went to a Van Hollen concert in 1986. David Lee Roth was great that night.
