    1. > “I’ve asked myself why—how did this happen?“ U.S. District Judge William Young, who was appointed by President Ronald Reagan in 1985

      well its all started with Reagan…

      I cannot help thinking that Rubio really did throw away his political future by associating himself with this administration.

    3. Agreeable_Crow789 on

      They are certainly conspiring against the constitution. I didn’t know that was a question

    4. ElysiumSprouts on

      “I find it breathtaking that I have been compelled on the evidence to find the conduct of such high-level officers of our government—Cabinet secretaries—conspired to infringe the First Amendment rights of people with such rights here in the United States,” Young said, alluding to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. “These Cabinet secretaries have failed in their sworn duty to uphold the Constitution.”

      As far as smack downs go, this is huge.

    5. Judges don’t just say “unconstitutional conspiracy” lightly. This is one of those moments where you suddenly realize how much legal wording matters.

    6. InsomniaticWanderer on

      Yeah. There was an unconstitutional conspiracy back in 2021 on January 6th too.

    7. These are the comments on the record, and rulings, we need to get them all out!

    8. Hidden_Landmine_4 on

      Waited a bit too long on that one. Maybe next time don’t wait until it’s too late.

    9. Embarrassed-Crazy112 on

      Your reminder that Rubio is here because of a unanimous confirmation in the senate.

      Not a single no vote – even for the sake of meaningless symbolism.

      They all knew everyone they confirmed would be nothing but a toady.

      And they did it anyway.

      Because what’s happening is a class war masquerading as a culture war to keep us all divided while they literally steal our fucking money and future. Again.

    10. As much as it might hurt democrats in the future (maybe) you have to go after every person that had a big hand in allowing this administration to skirt the law.

      It’s sad what people will do through fear or for a dollar

    11. Ok_Performance4014 on

      How fast will the judge lose their position or be accused of something?

    12. Finally all of this will collapse and the world sort of make sense again (it will not)

    13. > A Reagan-appointed federal judge says the Trump administration’s targeting of pro-Palestinian activists is an “unconstitutional conspiracy.”

      >U.S. District Judge William Young, who was appointed by President Ronald Reagan in 1985, criticized Trump’s draconian crackdown on people like Mahmoud Khalil and Rümeysa Öztürk, whose only crimes were being vocal supporters of Palestine, while announcing his plans to issue an order to prevent those kinds of targeted deportations from happening again.

      >…

      > Young even compared the administration’s larger deportation policy to people catching and returning enslaved African Americans under the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850.

      >“I’ve asked myself why—how did this happen? How could our own government, the highest officials in our government, seek to infringe the rights of people lawfully here in the United States? And I’ve come to believe that there’s a concept of freedom here that I don’t understand,” he said at the same hearing. “The record in this case convinces me that these high officials, and I include the president of the United States, have a fearful view of freedom.”

      >…

      > “We cast around the word ‘authoritarian,’” he said. “I don’t, in this context, treat that in a pejorative sense, and I use it carefully, but it’s fairly clear that this president believes, as an authoritarian, that when he speaks, everyone, everyone in Article II is going to toe the line absolutely.”

    14. It’s always wild to me how these high-profile political cases dominate the news, but half the public has no clue what the law actually says.

      „Welcome to ‚Behind the Times‘, I’m your host ZombifiedSoul, and today we’ll be saying ‚No Shit, Sherlock!‘, to the Judge and Courts“

      Welcome to the United States of Authoritarianism.

    16. Scienceman_Taco125 on

      Do something about then!!! Jail time?!? Contempt?!? Any punishment is needed now!!!!

    17. FinancialSand3703 on

      They’ve been pretty fucking blatant about all this shit. Had a literal manifesto that the VICE FUCKING PRESIDENT had a forword on. Along with a good few of his cabinet. At the Republican National Committee in 2024 they literally said they want to Dismantle Democracy. They’ve been loud about everything that’s happening and WILL happen.

    18. HoldOnDearLife on

      Alright, American military, do your duty. Thank you for your service to the country, not a man!

    19. Novasagooddog on

      Oh good. A smack down. Maybe next we can get an evisceration? Idk. Perhaps “slammed” would do the trick.

    20. Odd-Strength-3789 on

      The real surprise is that there’s a judge out there who’s actually willing to say it. Now the question is, is there ANYONE in a position of power willing to do something to end it?

    21. Gee, what makes you suspect such a thing? Is it all the unconstitutional actions they’re sanctioning in broad daylight for all to see?

    22. once_again_asking on

      And when Trump, Rubio, and Noem face no consequences whatsoever from this judge, what will happen then? Things will continue as they are, corruptly and illegally.

    23. If it quacks like a duck, waddles like a duck, and has feathers like a duck, it’s a duck. If it sounds like facism….

    24. I’ve asked myself why—how did this happen? How could our own government, the highest officials in our government, seek to infringe the rights of people lawfully here in the United States? And I’ve come to believe that there’s a concept of freedom here that I don’t understand,” he said at the same hearing. “The record in this case convinces me that these high officials, and I include the president of the United States, have a fearful view of freedom.”

      “We cast around the word ‘authoritarian,’” he said. “I don’t, in this context, treat that in a pejorative sense, and I use it carefully, but it’s fairly clear that this president believes, as an authoritarian, that when he speaks, everyone, everyone in Article II is going to toe the line absolutely.”

      That’s fuckin crazy. Federal judge accurately calling shit for what it is. What a read

    25. rooftopgoblin on
