I know the the ACLU is going to challenge it, but I think it will pass,” former Navy Seal and Trump supporter Carl Higbie said in an interview on Fox News with Megyn Kelly. “And we’ve done it with Iran back— back a while ago, we did it during World War II with Japanese, which, call it what you will it may be wrong—” he said as Kelly jumped in. “Come on, you’re not proposing we go back to the days of internment camps,” she said. “You know better than to suggest that, that’s the kind of thing that gets people scared, Carl.” “No, no, no, I’m not proposing that at all, Megyn, but what I am saying is we need to protect America first,” he said. “I’m just saying there’s precedent for it, I’m not saying I agree with it, but in this case I absolutely believe—“ “You can’t be citing Japanese internment camps as precedent for anything the president-elect is going to do,” Kelly responded. “Look, the president needs to protect America first, and if that means having people that are not protected under our Constitution have some sort tor registry so we can understand- until we can identify the true threat and where it’s coming from, I support it,” Higbie said. Trump adviser and Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach told Reuters this week that Trump was weighing creating a national database for immigrants from largely Muslim countries or those with terrorism risks.[/QUOTE]

Surely they could come up with a better name for a camp to concentrate a group of people...?

Don't worry, the camps will be a huge [del] wall[/del] fence

We should intern his smug fucking face.

[QUOTE]I’m just saying there’s precedent for it[/QUOTE] Yeah, and that precedent was [B]fucking unconstitutional and restitution was paid at great expense decades later[/B]. How do these people function?

shift that overton window right into fascism

Why do they keep bringing idiots onto the air Like why was he given screen time? Navy vet Trump supporter with radical ideas?

Stay classy, trump supporters...

[QUOTE=Blizzerd;51384250]Stay classy, trump...[/QUOTE] i think you read something wrong

[QUOTE=Perrine;51384253]i think you read something wrong[/QUOTE] What are you talking about? This was a trump supporter saying dumb shit. Trump says plenty of dumb shit on his own time, no need to try to pin this on him too

I thought the Japanese concentration camp was unconstitutional and was overturned. Thus, it's no longer precedent. Wasn't that the point of "Stare decisis"?

[QUOTE=RIPBILLYMAYS;51384239]Why do they keep bringing idiots onto the air Like why was he given screen time? Navy vet Trump supporter with radical ideas?[/QUOTE] Seems to me he just mentioned Japanese internment camps in support of one of Trump's ideas, not come up with any actual new radical ideas.

[QUOTE=laharlsblade;51384268]What are you talking about? This was a trump supporter saying dumb shit. Trump says plenty of dumb shit on his own time, no need to try to pin this on him too[/QUOTE] I think Blizzerd formerly said "Stay classy trump" (it's in the quote) instead of "Stay classy trump supporters", since the headline is addressing the supporter at the moment. He fixed his mistake though.

[QUOTE=elixwhitetail;51384164]Yeah, and that precedent was [B]fucking unconstitutional and restitution was paid at great expense decades later[/B]. How do these people function?[/QUOTE] By doing whatever they want until enough people tell them to stop.

[QUOTE=27X;51384568]By doing whatever they want until enough people tell them to stop.[/QUOTE] *by removing them from power

Why have I got any faith in humanity left? Do trump supporters (or a fraction of them, so not to offend Blizzerd or BILLY) honestly not know about the HRC, or the UN or do they just not care? For once I respect fox news, epically that reporter for just going "You Can't Say That!" [QUOTE] “It is legal, they say it will hold constitutional muster.

Yeah, okay. Use the precedent of one of the worst SCOTUS decisions ever just because you can appeal to the left with it since it was from FDR. News flash: even people who look up to FDR don't support the horrible Japanese internment camps. That was a dark time. What's next, citing Plessy v Ferguson as precedent for some segregation? What a joke.

[quote]“if that means having people that are not protected under our Constitution have some sort tor registry[/quote] Today, Republicans uncovered a secret footnote in the Bill of Rights, which as upheld by the Supreme Court still applies to illegal immigrants, saying "*aint apply to them scary muzzies" #MAGA :downs: It's not surprising that a former SEALs would've been reeducated with weapons-grade jingoism, but this is just stupid.

No. No Americans should have any form of internment or camp that strips them of their American liberties.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. ...and here I was, being optimistic that things were changing for the better in terms of social progress we've made over time.

[QUOTE=Paramud;51384581]Well fuck man if we're gonna go that route why don't we just go all the way back to manifest destiny and steal their shit[/QUOTE] Manifest destiny wasn't planned to stop with the west coast (and Hawaii/Alaska), that's just where it ended. The United States of America was supposed to envelop all of North America but then we had the Civil War and the World Wars changing our priorities. Hey Canada, that's a lot of oil you have there, it would be a real shame if there were terrorists in your country...
