Oh, is that, you're bringing that up again? Don't bring that up again. You're editing this from a, that's such a wasted story. So what else? Chinese farmland.

Well, first they admitted in court that he was wrongly detained and transported to El Salvador. They confessed it was an administrative error. In public now, they are saying that he was rightfully taken down there and they're making up various stories about him. But he's basically like a disappeared person.

I mean, that's what happens in authoritarian societies where you'd get swept off the street and then taken to whereabouts unknown. So look, we have the problem that they still have a couple vote majority in the House and in the Senate. But we're going to do everything in our power to get him back, including sending other members down there to go and try to get in.

But it's a lawless situation and we have to see to it that the Supreme Court's 9-0 decision is actually enforced. There's no argument. for what the administration has done here, none whatsoever, which is why you even had Thomas and Alito and the right wing on the court agreeing there's gotta be due process. Otherwise, we are living in an authoritarian police state.

If anybody can be swept off the street and just transported to a torturer's prison in another country, then all is lost because if they can do it to a non-citizen, they can do it to a citizen because the only way you can prove you're a citizen is if you have a hearing.

It's almost certainly unconstitutional. I mean, there was a form of punishment called banishment that existed in the colonial era where people would be banished from their community and exiled. And I suppose that's what they're talking about doing.

The Supreme Court or any rational Supreme Court, I should say, would probably find that this violates the ban on cruel and unusual punishment in the Eighth Amendment. But in any event, it certainly violates due process to send anybody to a foreign prison or a domestic prison, for that matter, without due process, without a hearing. That's what due process means.

And these are the two most beautiful words in the English language, because that's what stands between us and us. arbitrary dictatorial power. If anybody were to go down the road of trying to create foreign prisons for American citizens, it would have to be the United States Congress because we are the lawmaking power. So this is another constitutional principle that gets trampled in the process.
