Description

The Trump administration’s aggressive deportation practices, whether sending alleged gang members to a notorious El Salvadoran prison or rounding up foreign students for opposing Israel’s war in Gaza, have led many pundits and others to raise the alarm about a Constitutional crisis and the evisceration of due process. But as Jimmy points out, this crisis has been decades in the making, and dates back to when Nobel Peace Prize-winner Barack Obama maintained a “kill list” and signed into law the virtual elimination of Habeas Corpus. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss why now all the President has to do is cry “terrorism” and Constitutional protections fly right out the Oval Office window.

Jimmy makes a good point. The 'Patriot Act' allowed non-citizens to be held indefinitely without a charge. Obama just expanded this aspect of the Patriot Act to include citizens.

This goes back to 2002 and the signing of the Patriot Act. Obama re-signed it in 2012.

It was always a joke to me that Obama got a Nobel Peace Prize. Since then, those awards have meant nothing to me!
