I'm seeing it all over my facebook with people arguing back and forth all over the place. For me its apple and oranges, and I would have been just as pissed then as I am now about Trump's ideas actually being considered reasonable reactions. I haven't heard about that, but if it happened it was wrong then, just like internment of Japanese was wrong even though a Democratic president did it. I know they will be surprised that you don't blindly and fully support every action of your party throughout history, but it might just blow their minds.

ComradeCosmobot posted:Buzzfeed recently put out a long-form article investigating abuses of the H-2 visa system for unskilled labor, with a focus on agriculture in the South firing African Americans so they can hire captive foreign labor.. This follows their article from July on the slavery-like living conditions for those employed by the program.  What the gently caress is wrong with the US?

There's nothing wrong with sending people who have overstayed their visas home. Or restricting travel to/from a nation that has pissed yours off. We do it with Cuba and North Korea as it is. Doing so with an ethnic group or religion is a different matter entirely.

Restricting new immigration from a country that just openly declared hostilities against yours and kidnapped the state department staff seems like a completely reasonable action. That's based on a state action.

Also the theocratic nature of the revolution kind of blurs the line between church and state. Like I said this is my immediate reaction not knowing all the historical context.

Just people with expired visas who were supposed to be kicked out anyway. Which before you compare that to kicking out undocumented immigrants from Mexico, pretend Mexico has just committed an act of war and is in fact a relatively small country with a relatively small amount of undocumented immigrants here in the late 70s.

Mulva posted:And on this issue in particular. Don't forget that he went out of his way in a concurring opinion in the Michigan case to attack Justice Sotamayor for daring to defend AA in her dissent. I think you're thinking of Chief Justice Roberts's concurrence, Justice Scalia's was more addressed to the EPC question in general (but it's been a while since I read it so I may be mistaken).

I would say Trumps top 2 nominees for SCOTUS would be Carl Icahn and Gary Busey. Maybe Omarosa if he was seeking progressive cred.

Trump will clone himself 8 times and appoint them all to the bench. Scalia will stay on to provide concurrent opinions.
