The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" 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.

"The current administration has already demonstrated its willingness to deny anyone and everyone access to the appropriate courts. They are collecting people with administrative warrants rather than judicial warrants and have summarily deported people without a court hearing. They are now acting as judge, jury, and executioner on the high seas, killing people who are posing no immediate threat to the military personnel who are using lethal force to stop suspected drug runners far from our coastline." - ptheland

One of the most despicable things the federal government has been doing has been quickly transferring detainees (even U.S. citizens) to other jurisdictions so that any enquiries or filings on their behalf are not in the jurisdiction where they are held so have to be dismissed. ICE arrests a U.S citizen in Portland on Trumped up charges, they quickly transfer them to a prison in Montana, then when a friend tries to get them legal help in Portland, they are already out of the jurisdiction so a judge cannot do anything. It allows them to inconvenience legitimate, non-violent protestors for a longer period of time.

I cannot imagine anyone being ok with crap like this, but I am sure some of the usual despicable suspects will be by to explain why it is ok to violate their due process, at least in the short term.
