In a ruling that began by invoking Franz Kafka’s “The Trial,” U.S. District Judge James Boasberg granted more than a hundred men whom the Trump administration sent to a terrorism prison in El Salvador a chance to win their freedom.

“The reason should be self-evident: the ‘due process of law’ exists so that no ‘person’ within our borders — regardless of citizenship — is deprived of his ‘liberty’ on insufficient evidence or a spurious charge,” Boasberg wrote on Wednesday.

It’s not clear what form of due process the men eventually will receive, especially given the Trump administration’s attempts to resist compliance in these cases. From a legal standpoint, fighting Boasberg’s finding would seem futile: The Supreme Court recently ruled that the men at El Salvador’s CECOT prison are entitled to due process — “with all nine Justices agreeing,” Boasberg noted.

Boesberg buried a message inside his nearly 70-page ruling to Donald Trump: King George III shipped colonists to overseas prisons without due process too, and he reaped the whirlwind.

“Our legal tradition is wholly incompatible with the establishment of a network of overseas prisons, shielded from the Great Writ [of habeas corpus] by the facade of foreign control, to which the government routinely exports detainees without due process — a legal no man’s land,” the ruling states. “Indeed, the Habeas Corpus Act of 1679 generally prohibited detention ‘beyond the seas’ to places where the writ did not run, […] and such abuses partly animated this nation’s War for Independence.”

1. Judge Boasberg's just compared Trump's actions to those of King George III.

One of the reasons that the due process clause is in the US Constitution in more than one section is the fact that the framers had seen how King George abused the lack of due process.

trump is committing the same abuses that the founders saw King George do.

5. "Republicans didn't vote for a King, did they?'

Republicans ALWAYS vote for a king. A REPUBLICAN king, of course.

3. It was stated in the Declaration of Independence.......

...as a cause for the separation from Great Britain. As it should have been. Habeas corpus is "a right inestimable to (free men) and formidable to tyrants only."

4. Wow... Get right to the Crux.. TY

10. Nice use of the word "Crux"!

Sort of like that thing that dangled on Karoline Leavitt's neck...

From Merriam-Webster (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/crux)

In Latin, crux referred literally to an instrument of torture, often a cross or stake, and figuratively to the torture and misery inflicted by means of such an instrument. Crux eventually developed the sense of "a puzzling or difficult problem"; that was the first meaning that was used when the word entered English in the early 18th century. Later, in the late 19th century, crux began to be used more specifically to refer to an essential point of a legal case that required resolution before the case as a whole could be resolved. Today, the verdict on crux is that it can be used to refer to any important part of a problem or argument, inside or outside of the courtroom.

6. As long as we are discussing complaints from the Decalaration which earned George III

that revolution, we might mention

He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.

He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.

For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:

For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:

In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

(I knew saving that list of grievances would come in handy some day.)

11. YVW.

It isn't complete. I only quoted stuff the Mangio Monster has already done or proposed. Which is still a lot.

7. This is coming down to who is considered human...

Trump and followers consider only white males to be
fully human, thus entitled to literally do and be
anything they want without impunity or compunction.

Even the founders considered only white men, particularly
slave-holders, to be fully human.

The country was founded by slave-holders and people
who used indentured servants. Many of our states began
as prison colonies.

Now, today, Trump and followers want to take us back
to the time of our founders and slave-holders. They want
the entire country run only by white men, with absolutely
no civil or human rights granted to anyone else.

The new "plantations" will be prison colonies run by the
ultra-rich, managed by overseers, and worked by everyone
else.

I presume that reproduction will be managed and supervised
to produce brown/black workers, but ensure that whites
will be the majority.

I presume that drives the desire for crypto-currency to take
over as the monetary system also.

This is what people who consider themselves decent and sane
voted for... just because they want white men to take over
again.

But the actual result will, of course, be an abolute hellscape --
a nightmare of monumental proportions... if it gets that far.

How long it would last is another question entirely, since I
don't think there's much sanity or competence at play,
but we'll see.
