The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

VIIIandXX snarks: "I agree, the last straw for me was when he ignored the Supreme Court on student loan forgiveness!!!"

Firstly, Biden did not "ignore" the Supreme Court. He accepted the ruling and used an alternative approach, consistent with the ruling, to achieve the objective.

Secondly, if you consider student loan forgiveness and disappearing individuals into an El Salvador prison without due process to be on an equivalent moral plane, then there's no point in us having this conversation.

No one is arguing about whether violent noncitizens can be deported. We ARE arguing about whether individuals who are rounded up should have an opportunity to show that they are in fact not violent noncitizens. They were in custody and therefore presented no danger to the public. No legitimate purpose was served by denying due process. We are a nation of laws--or so I had come to believe.
