Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
Judge Charles Breyer will determine if the government violated a 19th century law that bars the military from civil law enforcement when Trump deployed the troops in June, as the state of California claims in its legal challenge
Let me make this short and sweet, yes, yes they did? Do we really need a trial of any kind for this? We all know the answer...
Yes. But the process needs to be followed. Sure we could just skip it, but is that really the precedent we want to set?
No, I don't think it does. Following our legal process has done fuck all so far to stop these authoritarian fuckwits. There's really only one thing other than violence that will solve this, and thats a full on national work stoppage, for however long it takes. A couple of weeks without being able to go to the grocery store, or Target, or whoever else would make people absolute lose their mind. Happened during covid already, and that was actually for a good reason.
The precedent is to go fast and break shit at this point.
Even if they wanted to, how would California's government "skip it?" Send in the California State Guard against the US military?
The precedent for an occupying force inside an american city is revolution, please shut the fuck up
"The jews in germany really should have done more within the courts to oppose the enabling act, but nothing more because of the precedent it would set"
Your cowardice will condemn millions
Going through the process keeps our democracy and institutions in tact and shows dipshit that we still care about our constitution. Revolution throws all that out the window.
Maybe, just maybe, the institutions failed and created this circumstance by design.
Or, assholes found and exploited weaknesses in the system, and those tasked with checking them are on the take. I wouldn't say totally failed, but failing absolutely.
The bright spot? Breyer has a history of ruling for therl states over the feds.
When is the military going to start protecting the constitution and the people from a tyrant. I can't imagine there are yesmen in every rank of command, is there!?
Every soldier is trained to quiet the voice inside their head that tells them to stop or they wouldn't be a good enough soldier to make command in the first place.
That is the difference with officer training.
My experience was different. But, then again, not American.
Uh ...
Ah shit!
Sir, yes, sir!!
