TRADITION
Of course, screwing around with habeus corpus
is nothing new.
During WWI and in WWII, unnaturalized Germans and even German-Americans were incarcerated and held.
My two family names (moms and pops') are both altered to draw attention from their germanic source; 'americanized'.
The Japanese-American Internment during WWII is another shameful period in our history.
There are many others. The roundup of commies in the 50s, the harrassment and imprisonment of protesters in the 60s were accepted as routine but they were not.
Black Americans have always been subject to 'special rules'.
This shit they are passing is nothing new.
It is as American as apple pie.
It has always been beaten back.
The same will happen this time. If not in the courts, then in the polling booth.
