    That about sums it up. They don’t believe the outgroup deserves rights. But if the outgroup doesn’t have rights nobody does, they’re just privileges that can be taken away at any time

    And, it should be noted, the purpose of due process includes to check if these people are breaking any rules and if they’re supposed to be here as well as if they’re citizens.

      All of that without grasping that they, themselves- are members of an outgroup that won’t always have influence. Assuming democracy can make a come back and something changes in the next election they may find themselves in that “unpopular” group. Bet they’d change their tune for the 37th time in that case.

      The rule of law…or even the Constitution of the United States…is what they say it is. Their rules, they make up the law to suit what they’ve already done. The constitution, courts, legal code, hell…even the Bible, can get fucked. They’re all petty kings, judge, and jury rolled up into one.

      It makes me wonder for what purpose people think nations have courts. Sure, we want to punish murderers, why is there a court? Now, let’s talk about “illegal aliens”.
