Wrong again. I'm in a red state with a governor that thinks he's a dictator. Almost as pathetic as Inslee-and the people are up in arms over him. Lawsuit has been filed and a recall election is in the works. With protests happening every week. Citizens in red states are far quicker to turn on their elected officials when they suspend their rights on a whim than blue states are. I haven't heard of any protests against Inslee in western WA.

You and the fringe (+Russians) are the only ones who believe it.

South East Florida is still locked down, but everyone still has access to essential services, so there is no such thing as house arrest. You've been had.
WTF does Russia have to do with any of this?

In a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court ruled that the President is entitled to absolute immunity from liability for civil damages based on his official acts. The court emphasized that the President is not immune from criminal charges stemming from his official (or unofficial) acts while in office.

Once the President is out of office in January 2021 the lawsuits will fly like a raging raven. The she-ite will hit the fan. NY already has lawyers lined up with cases against Trump waiting for the eventuality of flattening the idiot in chief.

I guess the ACLU had succumbed to talk in Star Wars metaphors, to the "Dark Side of the force" just like the SPLC by being gangrened by greed and corruption.

Then why did you bring it up? Just so you could talk about Trump?

"With the authoritarian rule we're currently living under where the hell is the ACLU?"

That's the title of the thread. Nothing to do with Trump. YOU brought him into the discussion. Why?

I think you have pretty serious case of TDS. The guy is always on your mind. He's living rent free in your head.

There are no civil rights involved in this issue. I suggest a visit to a dictionary.
