The Alien Enemies Act - 1798

[RobDownSouth]

There is no need for a declared war in order to impose the AEA. The discretion is the President's alone. We have been invaded and Americans are being harmed.

Who has "invaded" the United States? What "foreign menace" has threatened America so badly that the most lethal military in the world needs assistance? The Russians? The Chinese? The Greenlanders? The Canadians?

Invoking the AEA is a political stunt to bypass Congress and the federal courts. Rule by executive fiat.

They are substituting their political bias for the decisions of the President.

No, it is the president who is substituting his own will for the Constitution.

Rouge judges should not be able to overrule the president’s agenda
Now you see what happens when radical judges are appointed

The only radicals on the bench are RWs. That has been true for the whole of American history.

All of the 10 million foreign illegal invaders Joe Biden was too mentally damaged to police.

The Alien Enemies Act was a power deliberately granted to the President by the founding generation in Congress, men who understood, far better than you, the necessity of enabling the executive to act swiftly in defense of public safety and against foreign threats. They crafted it with the clear intention of limiting judicial interference, recognizing that in times of national danger, decisions about enemy aliens belong with the political branches, not the courts. They didn’t confuse prudence with recklessness, nor national security with political correctness. You see, Rob, the founding generation were men forged in hardship and principle, tempered like steel. They hadn’t yet been softened by the cultural surrender and ideological confusion that defines today’s woke politics. They built a republic; today’s Democrats seem content to unravel it.

 

[Rightguide]

Why? We would in no way be better off without them.

Keep exposing yourself.

 

[Politruk]

Keep exposing yourself.

That would be a different Lit forum.

 

[Rightguide]

No, it is the president who is substituting his own will for the Constitution.

He imposes his will as the statute allows.

All of the 10 million foreign illegal invaders

They are not invaders, you idiot!

 

[Rightguide]

They are not invaders, you idiot!

Like hell they aren't. They have broken our laws and are harming our people

 

[Politruk]

The Alien Enemies Act was

An Old Shame, ill-conceived at the time, shockingly authoritarian, enacted under an embarrassingly paranoid and xenophobic Federalist administration frightened by the French Revolution. It should not still be on the books.

 

[Politruk]

Like hell they aren't. They have broken our laws and are harming our people

They're not harming our people, they're less dangerous than citizens. It would not be invasion if the entire population of Mexico snuck across the border.

 

[cowboyup6977]

Then what would you call the millions that crossed the border illegally and the Venezuelan gangs and M 13
I know they’re all outstanding citizens

What I described is exactly what the AEA was, and everybody who has heard of it knows it -- didn't you even study American history in high school?!

I would call them "immigrants."

To levels unattainable by you. The AEA is the law.

And everything I said about it remains true -- which you know if you took history in high school.

If you want them so bad
Why don’t you take them in

Gabbard fires National Intelligence Council officials after Venezuela report


Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has fired the National Intelligence Council's top two officials over what the Trump administration has called the "politicization of intelligence," Fox News Digital first reported Wednesday.
The big picture: The firing of acting NIC chair Mike Collins and his deputy, Maria Langan-Riekhof, comes after an intel report from the council last week contradicted an administration assertion linking Venezuela's Maduro regime to the criminal gang Tren de Aragua.

• The administration has used this to invoke the wartime authority of the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport undocumented immigrants with what critics say is little or no due process.

What they're saying: "These Biden holdovers were dismissed because they politicized intelligence," said Gabbard's deputy chief of staff, Alexa Henning, on X.

• She added that "the leak of classified info was a NIC product, which is against the law, that is the issue," as she pushed back on a Washington Post report saying Gabbard had "removed or sidelined officials perceived to not support Trump's political agenda."

Between the lines: Experts say the Trump administration has made unsubstantiated claims about Tren de Aragua and the Mara Salvatrucha gang, commonly known as MS-13.

• Gang experts say the threat of Tren de Aragua in the U.S. is overblown and a lot smaller than Trump officials have claimed.

• The administration has repeatedly called MS-13, a gang started in Southern California by Central American refugees from the 1980s civil wars, a transnational gang and has compared it to terrorist groups and organized Mexican cartels.
• Lidia E. Nuño, a Texas State University criminology professor and MS-13 expert, told Axios that MS-13 is a street gang that shows little evidence of sophisticated transnational criminal operations like cartels or the mafia.

There’s nothing in the constitution that grants federal district judges this authority. These judges took this authority because congress is feckless in it’s oversight.

 

[Politruk]

There’s nothing in the constitution that grants federal district judges this authority.

Of course there is. They have the authority to conduct judicial review. They have the authority to issue orders binding on the executive. That is how our system has always worked.
