 The Memo: Amy Coney Barrett becomes an unlikely hate figure for MAGA World
by Niall Stanage - 04/09/25 6:00 AM ET

Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett is the target of new ire from President Trump’s most fervent supporters after she bucked his position on a key case earlier this week.

Barrett joined — albeit only in part — a dissenting opinion penned by liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor on Monday. The case revolves around the highly controversial claim from the Trump administration that it is entitled to deport Venezuelan migrants under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798.

The debate within the high court revolved around what the correct location was for the case being made on behalf of some of the detainees. 

But Sotomayor left no real doubt about her disagreement with the underlying policy.

Barrett joined a part of her colleague’s dissent that noted “the Government cannot usher any detainees, including plaintiffs, onto planes in a shroud of secrecy, as it did on March 15, 2025.”

I again remind everyone that part of what made America great was Anglo-Saxon legal norms:  the presumption of innocence, trial by jury, the need of the state to prove criminal guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, and "the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus" (which was so well established that the Founders mention it in the Constitution with a limit on the Federal government's ability to suspend it), the rights enumerated in the Bill of Rights (which largely copied a previous English bill of rights, without the limitation of keeping and bearing arms to Protestants).  America cannot be made great again by trampling on part of what made it great to begin with. 

The Left has of late trampled on the rights enumerated in the First Amendment, and keeps trying to attack the Second, and everyone here rightly decries this.  No one should be cheering Trump trampling on the presumption of innocence and effectively suspending habeas corpus to go after those in the US illegally.  The crime of entering the US illegally, and any crime committed here by a foreigner, should be treated the same way as any other crime: within our Anglo-Saxon legal norms, not in violation of them.  It may be slower, but doing it will contribute to American greatness, rather than eroding one of the pillars of that greatness.
And when they behead your own people in the wars which are to come, then you will know what this was all about.

She has become compromised.
Something scared her -- perhaps the threats to her sister?

NO MORE WOMEN to the Supreme Court -- no matter who sat in the vacant seat before...!

EDIT addressing David's reply above:
"I again remind everyone that part of what made America great was Anglo-Saxon legal norms:  the presumption of innocence, trial by jury, the need of the state to prove criminal guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, and "the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus""

I don't believe any of these protections should be afforded to illegals (resident legal aliens, YES, but NOT to illegals).

If you consider that a two-tiered standard of justice, well that's just fine with me.
A lifetime of experience has taught me that many of the precepts we were led to believe from youth and into adulthood (being an old adult) are simply... wrong.

Sorry if you don't like this post.
Give it your best shot.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

If they are here illegally, well, Q.E.D.
 
Send them home, they have already broken our laws by just being here.

What is so difficult about that?

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

What rights does a foreigner who commits any crime while in the US illegally have @The_Reader_David ?

What rights does a citizen who commits any crime in the US have?

What, in your opinion, is the value of being a citizen of the United States?
