So are we in danger of being arrested for "thought crimes" now?

If someone participated in a protest a couple of years ago, they might have thoughts that jeopardize national security.

Nobody is safe.

1. Yes we now live in Orwell's dystopia. Thought police are now a thing.

[Bayard]

2. Watch the movie, "Minority Report,"

Even if it does have Tom Cruise in it.

[Ilsa]

7. At the time, I thought it was ridiculous.

But now, even that scenario is preferable to Rubio's and Trump's future thought crimes.

3. Yes

It's not just Visa holders and Immigrants - be they documented or not.

These absurdities will lead to atrocities against Americans.

It does NOT end with Palestinian protesters, a normal dad in Maryland, or a make up artist in a detention center. It only begins with these folks.

4. Trying to decide where to put my "told you so" on this one

Where people spent the better part of two decades trying to cleanse college campuses and the internet at large of Wrong Thoughts and anything that veered even slightly from dogmatic ideology had to be shut down as "unsafe" and triggering.

Again and again - right here on DU numerous times - I said, "One day, Republicans will be in power. And they will be the ones deciding on speech. And you won't like it."

I'm glad everyone's rediscovering the First Amendment. That's neat. Wish it wasn't so situational, but hey, crumbs are all anyone's getting these days.

5. This all hinges on the Supreme Court recognizing that the next Trump giveaway may

affect them personally in the future.

And, yes, I do believe Trump will try to do it. The first few to go through the process will get bloodied. Much like what is happening to Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

8. He's ignoring the Courts

10. We're headed for a Constitutional crisis.

And there is one thing that is certain: Trump does not have the support of the majority of Americans.

11. I agree with you

but on the second point, sadly, it doesn't seem to matter.

13. I think that it will once the numbers grow in the street.

14. I'm not so sure this is a Constitutional crisis in the real sense of the phrase.

It's openly disobeying the law and the Constitution. There are simple solutions to what Trump is wreaking, but the Republicans are simply REFUSING to enforce or do anything about it.

We beat the shit out of the monster Trump and rightly so, but it is the Republican Party that is FULLY enabling him.

6. My thought is that your thought is jeopardizing national security. 😁😁

9. You go to hell too, and do not pass go, do not collect $200.

[krkaufman]

12. No, it doesn't seem like that's the case.

"Arrest" implies criminal charges are filed and due process. Rendition to a foreign hell-prison sans due process definitely seems on the table, though.

15. Only certain crimes. White collar crime, foreign bribery, bit coin fraud, income tax evasion, and

..foreign interference in our elections have been given low priorities with the current DOJ. Just don’t say, write, or do anything critical or demeaning of our Dear Leader. Hope this helps.
