  • Rights must apply to all persons in the US. Or else the government may assign you to the non rights group at it’s discretion. As an example, you’re a citizen. The government says you are not. You try to go to court to prove it, but oops you don’t have that right. Your family opens a court case, but they either get ruled to not have standing or they get swiftly assigned to the non rights group as well.

    Nobody has Rights until Everyone has Rights.

    And I can already tell you the words you’re going to hear if this makes it to court. “Unlawful Combatant”, a designation we created so we could ignore the rules of war while fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq. Trump declared the Venezuelan drug cartels to be terrorists. Now they’re treating them like we treated the Taliban in Afghanistan.

    These guys are literally just waiting for the next outrageous thing to push this one out of the news cycle.

    And yeah, we’ve been doing airstrikes like this for 20 years.

    Also, it’s not a wasteland, it’s actually a pretty strategic area.
