  • Funnily enough, porn is sort of the canary in the coalmine for free speech. Their use of banning it will be through defining what is and is not obscene. If they can get a case run up to the supreme court, who then confirm that this self expression is obscene, that opens the flood gates for them to freely define what self expression is obscene and ban it or send people to jail.

    From there it’s a small step to calling something like a dissenting political opinion obscene.




  • I mean, they exhausted all their options over the last 21 years and were told in 2018 they should get ready to depart. They then stayed another 4 years anyways after they exhausted all their options and knew if it was going to be enforced they were going to be deported.

    The only reason they can claim about raising a family is specifically because the system gave them an huge amount of time to sort things out. But that doesn’t mean the time is, or should be, indefinite.

    For all the people literally being grabbed off the streets for a traffic ticket or an op ed article, a couple being given 21 years of litigation and almost 40 years of time here to sort out their status before ignoring the unfavorable outcome doesn’t sound like this just dropped out of the sky.
