The point of the cartoon is that the judges are giving due process to non-us citizens, who are not protected under the constitution. It's the lovely argument used to justify the ban.

Yes they loving are you moron! "No person shall ... be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law". Not "no citizen" or "no American". "No person". NO. PERSON. IT'S TWO loving WORDS.

Don't forget Trumpists literally rewriting the Constitution in their own minds so that instead of persons it says citizens.

I get the theme is "haha not true Obozo" but some of this stuff is true. You can't deny that Iran failed to go nuclear or especially that Obama was the one to get Osama. Unless Eden is some kind of idiot who thinks Obama meant he personally killed Osama in an honor duel.

Please save this one for the most easily misinterpreted cartoon of the year award.

The Constitution also starts "We, the People", though. There's a logical case to be made for the drafters to be talking only about the citizens of the United States when they refer to people or a person, because they had no right to refer to anyone else. This goes double when most of your nation only exists because a whole heap of non-citizens were deprived of their lives, liberty and property.

Well, it's like the saying goes, "those who do not study history are doomed to prove themselves delusional dumbfucks who have no idea what they're talking about and need to shut the gently caress up forever." Or something like that.

That's a very flimsy argument, especially since the 14th Amendment actually does use the word "citizen" in its text, before switching to "person" later. That change would be deliberate; otherwise they'd have kept using "citizen". Also, the amendment is limiting what the government can do; it's not governing non-citizens, it's telling the government they can't unjustly gently caress with people, regardless of who they are.

Edit: Also, the 14th Amendment wasn't drafted with the rest of the Constitution, it came later. So your argument about the drafters is doubly-flawed.

"We the people of the United States"

If the drafters only meant citizens of the USA when using the word people (or person), why add "of the United States"? Either the people who drafted the Constitution are bad at logic and writing, or they intended for people to be a more broad category within which citizens and inhabitants of the United States are subsets.

Trump is the literal embodiment of everything Latuff hates about the US. You'd think his caricature of him would be more hateful.

I don't think it registers to him as anything but more of the same. For most of us, the past few weeks have been somewhere between nightmarish and downright traumatic, but for Carlos Latuff, it was February.

Apparently he's too loving subtle for you. "An American grenade blowing up ~~the Al-Aqsa~~ a Jerusalem mosque" is very hard to parse correctly.

Edit - yes, I did in fact open the tab several hours before replying. :/

Ah but see, if you go by a strict originalist interpretation of what the Founding Fathers really intended, then the Constitution gets to say that America is to become a fascist monarchy when Republicans are in power. It's written here plain as day. --The ghost of Antonin Scalia

The left looks like it's constantly shifting but it's ultimately stable and easy to understand. Meanwhile the right's policies mean that it will completely destroy itself within a generation, creating horrific worldwide consequences that they won't be alive to reap the consequences for. AGC

For the left, the Constitution is a source of illumination, functional even if a bit tacky. For the right, it is an inhospitable, desolate hazard to navigation.
