• Regular MSNBC Guest: All Laws Passed Before 1965 Should Be "Presumptive

    Regular MSNBC guest and justice correspondent for The Nation Elie Mystal claimed on Tuesday that virtually all laws passed prior to 1965 should be considered “presumptively unconstitutional.”

    Mystal made the assertion during a conversation on the ABC midday talk show “The View” while discussing his new book, “Bad Law: Ten Popular Laws That Are Ruining America” — and he argued that any law passed prior to the 1965 Voting Rights Act should be thrown out because until that law passed, “we were an apartheid country.”

    WATCH:

    Guest on "The View" says all laws before 1965 should be ruled null
    and void: "Why should I give a f*** about some law that some old
    White man passed in the 1920s?" pic.twitter.com/x4Y6veWgFg

    — TheBlaze (@theblaze) April 1, 2025

    “One of the laws you write about is playing out right now — the Immigration
    and Nationality Act,” cohost Sunny Hostin said. “Now, this administration is using this statute to justify the detentions and possible deportations, actually, of visa and Green-Card holders who they seek to deem a threat to
    U.S. foreign policy. What do you make of the administration’s use of the act, and, more broadly, is Trump really setting up a First Amendment showdown,
    which is what Whoopi’s been talking about?”

    “Yes, absolutely,” Mystal declared. “One of my premises for the book is that every law passed before the 1965 Voting Rights Act should be presumptively unconstitutional, right? Because before the 1965 Voting Rights Act, we were functionally an apartheid country. Not everybody who lived her could vote here.”

    “So why should I give a **** about some law that some old white man passed in the 1920s?” he asked.

    Mystal followed up his appearance on “The View” with a racially-charged post
    on X claiming that his book “seems to have pissed off the white wing so, as usual, I’m doing something right.”

    Mystal often appears on MSNBC, and even joined network host and former Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele just two days prior to joining “The View.” During that appearance, he claimed that the Trump administration’s efforts to deport criminal illegal aliens and gang members amounted to “fascism.”

    This flesh-blob and his goofy white 'fro is not only ridiculously hard-left

    First, it's *still* the case that not everyone who lives here can vote here. Foreign nationals, both legal and illegal, cannot vote even if they live
    here.

    He says every pre-1965 law is unconstitutional but the Constitution itself is
    a pre-1965 law. So this idiot must believe the Constitution is unconstitutional, which is a logical and legal impossibility.

    Yes, it's fascist to take a violent thug who snuck into the country illegally and then committed more crimes against Americans while here, and send his ass back to wherever he came from.

    Sure. <rolls eyes>

    Literally everything is "fascist" to these people now. Most of them don't even know what the word actually means.

    embarrassed pause as they realize that they don't know. But they never
    actually seem to make an effort to find out and keep throwing the word

    If they had an ounce of sincerity in them, their leaders would figure

    words in their rhetoric so that their statements made at least a little

    Does that include the post-Civil War civil rights legislation written by
    the Radical Republicans, all of which was found CONSTITUTIONAL and in
    force by the Supreme Court under Earl Warren? Even Hansberry v. Lee
    (Hansberry was the father of Lorraine Hansberry) was decided in 1940,
    under Charles Hughes.

    Does that include the Civil Rights Act of 1964?

    The statement is a tautology. (There's a better Latin phrase.) Blacks
    weren't in Congress because they were slaves, and blacks didn't have the
    vote because they were slaves. Only white men could enshrine liberty in constitutional and legislative law. But civil rights legislation,
    written by white men, are unconstitutional like all other law due to
    lack of enfranchisement. But lack of the franchise makes laws
    unconstitutional. But no one but a sitting member of Congress can write legislation, including civil rights laws.

    Did any of these men have a final order of removal? Trump doesn't say.
    We know in one prominent case, the man had an order from an immigration
    judge that he was NOT subject to removal (as long as he didn't violate conditions of humanitarian parole).

    Let's retain probable cause, shall we? Prosecute the fuckers for crimes committed in the United States upon indictment with probable cause.
    Trump doesn't present evidence in court 'cuz there ain't none.

    You can't defend Trump on this.

    Literally everything is "fascist" to these people now. Most of them

    Of course this is moviePig language, but Trump is merely removing
    people. Where's the promised transparency?

    Don't forget that there's apparently no process in place to release
    someone once they are deported. At least it is being claimed that they
    have no means to get El Salvador to release someone once in their
    custody. So even if the Trump administration was to admit to having
    sent someone to El Salvador who was innocent there would be nothing
    they can do.

    Though isn't El Salvador being paid to keep these people in their
    custody. Which would mean that even if El Salvador were to refuse to
    release someone to the US custody (unlikely) they aren't going to keep
    holding on to those prisoners if the USA stopped paying.

    You can't defend Trump on this.

    Hell, they didn't even want to admit to removing the guy. Apparently
    we only know they did so because his wife saw him in one of the pics.

    So no transparency at all.

    That's a desperate definition of Fascism from wikipedia that tries to

    "a system of government characterized by rigid one-party
    dictatorship, forcible suppression of opposition, private
    economic enterprise under centralized governmental control,
    belligerent nationalism, racism, and militarism, etc."

    in other words, every communist state and movement, though
    the definition of communism in American English:

    https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/communism

    "a theory or system of social organization based on the holding of all property in common, actual ownership being ascribed to the
    community as a whole or to the state"

    Anti-fascists have often said that anti-communists are
    only about opposition to this very abstract definition
    of communism and never on any valid reasons.


    How many of those dozen or so qualities are necessary for something to qualify as truly fascist?

    The 1930's usage of the epithet Fascist also includes
    anyone or anything uncooperative, so an engine that
    dies is a fascist engine and a horse that limps is a
    fascist horse, a gun that misfires is a fascist gun, re.
    the Hemingway book For Whom The Bell Tolls.

    community as a whole or to the state"

    Anti-fascists have often said that anti-communists are
    only about opposition to this very abstract definition
    of communism and never on any valid reasons.


    How many of those dozen or so qualities are necessary for something to
    qualify as truly fascist?

    The 1930's usage of the epithet Fascist also includes
    anyone or anything uncooperative, so an engine that
    dies is a fascist engine and a horse that limps is a
    fascist horse, a gun that misfires is a fascist gun, re.
    the Hemingway book For Whom The Bell Tolls.


    In other words, the language is just reverting to what it was in the
    1930s where everything is fascist so the word means nothing.

    Yes, it's fascist to take a violent thug who snuck into the country

    Sure.  <rolls eyes>

    Literally everything is "fascist" to these people now. Most of them
    don't even
    know what the word actually means.


    Worse yet, most of them don't even reflect on the fact that they don't
    know what "fascist" really means. They use it as a synonym for
    everything they hate. I've seen a few cases where someone asks them

    embarrassed pause as they realize that they don't know. But they never
    actually seem to make an effort to find out and keep throwing the word
    around with abandon.

    If they had an ounce of sincerity in them, their leaders would figure
    out that they've made the word meaningless and start using different
    words in their rhetoric so that their statements made at least a
    little bit of sense. But I've never seen that happen: they just keep
    using "fascist" and keep weakening their statements as a result. They
    become a laughingstock as they keep making accusations of fascism
    which the listener *knows* is a word they don't understand.

    But hey, I'm fine with that. It just makes it easier to tell you're
    listening to a yammerhead that has no idea what he's talking about so

    How many of those dozen or so qualities are necessary for something to qualify as truly fascist?


    If that's the definition you're going with, you need to explain exactly
    how Trump, the Republicans, and America in general are "fascist" cecause
    that's exactly what your Leftist brothers constantly insist.

    That's a desperate definition of Fascism from wikipedia that tries to
    make it seem otherwise to every Communist movement and state.

    Here is fascism defined in American English:

    https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/fascism

    "a system of government characterized by rigid one-party
    dictatorship, forcible suppression of opposition, private
    economic enterprise under centralized governmental control,
    belligerent nationalism, racism, and militarism, etc."

    in other words, every communist state and movement, though
    the definition of communism in American English:

    https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/communism

    "a theory or system of social organization based on the holding of all property in common, actual ownership being ascribed to the
    community as a whole or to the state"

    Anti-fascists have often said that anti-communists are
    only about opposition to this very abstract definition
    of communism and never on any valid reasons.


    How many of those dozen or so qualities are necessary for something to >>>> qualify as truly fascist?

    The 1930's usage of the epithet Fascist also includes
    anyone or anything uncooperative, so an engine that
    dies is a fascist engine and a horse that limps is a
    fascist horse, a gun that misfires is a fascist gun, re.
    the Hemingway book For Whom The Bell Tolls.


    In other words, the language is just reverting to what it was in the
    1930s where everything is fascist so the word means nothing.

    Which is no different from the term "Woke" which has devolved to
    essentially mean "I don't like this."

    'Woke' originally had a positive connotation, but was flipped by
    persistent use with scare-quotes ...as anything would be.

    I don't think "woke" is a generalized epithet, as it's used to apply to
    ideas and those who seek to apply them. Whereas "fascist" appears to
    have nothing to do with someone who would impose fascism on a state
    level.

    What's an example of its use as a general epithet?

    And deporting violent illegal alien criminals and gang members isn't even in
    the same universe as all that.

    How about deporting *ACCUSED* violent illegal alien criminals?

    Note the key term there: illegal alien. That takes care of everything we legally need to deport them.

    And deporting violent illegal alien criminals and gang members isn't even in
    the same universe as all that.

    How about deporting *ACCUSED* violent illegal alien criminals?

    Note the key term there: illegal alien. That takes care of everything we legally need to deport them.

    Well, your sympathetic SCOTUS is all you *legally* need. But, if
    "illegal alien" does the trick, I wonder why all the other allegations.

    Well, that and all the crime and violence. And at a basic level, we don't want
    or need other countries' criminals. They bring nothing of value to the U.S. and that's a perfectly valid reason to kick their asses the fuck out.

    But, if I understand, they're only *accused* of crime and violence.

    I doubt many deportees send thank-you notes...


    Something unproven.

    Nothing other than being an illegal need be proven. The government has discretion which illegals it wants to prioritize for deportation. They chose violent criminal scumbags. It beggars the imagination why you'd pick this hill
    to die on.

    Umm, remember *principle*? These people are being "selected" based on
    crimes they're merely *alleged* to have committed. That's
    anti-American, no matter how easily Trump gets away with it. It's
    misuse of the law ...analogous to sending the IRS to audit you (which
    they have every legal right to do even on a whim) as a political reprisal.

The abuelas and the single moms and all the sympathetic illegals who otherwise would get a pass are now on the chopping block because moviePig says we can't look at these evil motherfuckers and say these guys go first.

    There's nothing wrong with a country saying it doesn't want other countries' criminals. Leftists gleefully giggled that Trump's "32 felonies" means he can never visit Canada, yet you'll fight to death to keep the guys in those pictures above here in America.

    Should the Titanic's captain have given priority to the first-class passengers in filling the lifeboats? After all, it wouldn't have

    And deporting violent illegal alien criminals and gang members isn't
    even in
    the same universe as all that.

    How about deporting *ACCUSED* violent illegal alien criminals?

    Note the key term there: illegal alien. That takes care
    of everything we
    legally need to deport them.

    Well, your sympathetic SCOTUS is all you *legally* need.

    No, under the U.S. Code that's all that's legally needed. No SCOTUS
    necessary.

    But, if "illegal alien" does the trick, I wonder why all the other
    allegations.

    Politics. It's more politically palatable to deport Tren de Aragua
    gangbangers
    with death tattoos on their shaven heads and teeth filed down to
    fangs than
    it
    is to deport someone's abuela making tacos on the corner.

    So, concretely, they're being deported for bad haircuts and
    dentistry...

    Well, that and all the crime and violence. And at a basic level,
    we don't
    want
    or need other countries' criminals. They bring nothing of value to
    the U.S.
    and that's a perfectly valid reason to kick their asses >>>>>>>>>>>>> the fuck out.

    But, if I understand, they're only *accused* of crime and violence.

    And

    THEY

    ARE

    ILLEGAL

    ALIENS

    And, ideally, in accord with traditional American principles, they
    oughtn't be punished as though they'd been convicted. >>>>>>>>>>>
    THEY ARE ILLEGAL ALIENS.

    But they're being PUNISHED for something else.

    No, they're being deported. That's what you do with illegals. >>>>>>>>>
    If they were being punished, they'd be sent to prison. >>>>>>>>
    Google:

    "Deportation, or removal, is the formal process of forcing a
    non-citizen to leave the United States, often due to immigration >>>>>>>> violations or criminal convictions, and can be considered a form of
    punishment."

    "And can be considered"

    Love that passive voice.

    You can be considered to be a porpoise. Doesn't mean you'd suddenly
    develop
    a
    taste for mackerel.

    Anything "can be considered" to be anything by purposely undefined and
    unidentified people with agendas.

    I doubt many deportees send thank-you notes...

    Well, if they don't like it, they can always stop breaking into other
    people's
    countries illegally.

    Something unproven.

    Nothing other than being an illegal need be proven. The government has
    discretion which illegals it wants to prioritize for deportation. They
    chose
    violent criminal scumbags. It beggars the imagination why you'd
    pick this
    hill
    to die on.

    Umm, remember *principle*? These people are being "selected" based on
    crimes they're merely *alleged* to have committed.

    But they're still illegal aliens, so even if the government is wrong
    and the
    guy with the Satanic pentagram tattooed onto back of his shaved head
    and the
    demon horns embedded on his forehead and all the murders and rapes he's
    committed graffitied across his torso in coded gang language is-- >>>>>>> against
    all

    ...and most all of them have criminal records on top of it, those >>>>>>> are the
    ones
    going to the front of my "get the fuck out" line and there's nothing
    either
    legally or morally wrong with that. But hey, if you want to force us to
    pretend all illegals are the same, fine. We'll stop prioritizing the
    violent
    thugs and just start deporting them all. The abuelas and the single
    moms and
    all the sympathetic illegals who otherwise would get a pass are now
    on the
    chopping block because moviePig says we can't look at these evil >>>>>>> motherfuckers
    and say these guys go first.

    There's nothing wrong with a country saying it doesn't want other >>>>>>> countries'
    criminals. Leftists gleefully giggled that Trump's "32 felonies" >>>>>>> means he
    can
    never visit Canada, yet you'll fight to death to keep the guys in those
    pictures above here in America.

    Here's another parallel ...maybe you can resist deleting this one: >>>>>>
    Should the Titanic's captain have given priority to the first-class

    If the Titanic had a hold full of guys like those in the pictures above,
    yes,
    everyone else should have lifeboat priority over them.

    You must wonder why we bother with a trial if the defendant's ugly... >>>
    One wonders if you're really this stupid or just playing it for effect. >>>
    You really think the officers of the Titanic are going to stop and hold a >>> trial for *anyone* while the ship is starting tilt bow downward?

    You can't legally discriminate based on crimes that are merely alleged.

    The captain of a sinking ship filling lifeboats absolutely can legally do that.

    'You' in this instance refers to an otherwise unconstrained enforcer of
    the Constitution ...not to the captain of a sinking ship.

    And deporting violent illegal alien criminals >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> and gang members isn't

    How about deporting *ACCUSED* violent illegal alien criminals?

    Note the key term there: illegal alien. That takes care
    of everything we
    legally need to deport them.

    Well, your sympathetic SCOTUS is all you *legally* need.

    No, under the U.S. Code that's all that's legally >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> needed. No SCOTUS
    necessary.

    But, if "illegal alien" does the trick, I wonder why all the other
    allegations.

    Politics. It's more politically palatable to deport Tren de Aragua
    gangbangers
    with death tattoos on their shaven heads and teeth filed down to
    fangs than
    it
    is to deport someone's abuela making tacos on the corner.

    So, concretely, they're being deported for bad haircuts and
    dentistry...

    Well, that and all the crime and violence. And at a basic level,
    we don't
    want
    or need other countries' criminals. They bring nothing of value to
    the U.S.
    and that's a perfectly valid reason to kick their asses
    the fuck out.

    But, if I understand, they're only *accused* of crime
    and violence.

    And

    THEY

    ARE

    ILLEGAL

    ALIENS

    And, ideally, in accord with traditional American principles, they
    oughtn't be punished as though they'd been convicted.

    THEY ARE ILLEGAL ALIENS.

    But they're being PUNISHED for something else. >>>>>>>>>>>
    No, they're being deported. That's what you do with illegals.

    If they were being punished, they'd be sent to prison. >>>>>>>>>>
    Google:

    "Deportation, or removal, is the formal process of forcing a
    non-citizen to leave the United States, often due to immigration
    violations or criminal convictions, and can be considered a form of
    punishment."

    "And can be considered"

    Love that passive voice.

    You can be considered to be a porpoise. Doesn't mean you'd suddenly
    develop
    a
    taste for mackerel.

    Anything "can be considered" to be anything by purposely undefined and
    unidentified people with agendas.

    I doubt many deportees send thank-you notes...

    Well, if they don't like it, they can always stop breaking into other
    people's
    countries illegally.

    Something unproven.

    Nothing other than being an illegal need be proven. The >>>>>>>>>>> government has
    discretion which illegals it wants to prioritize for >>>>>>>>>>> deportation. They
    chose
    violent criminal scumbags. It beggars the imagination why you'd
    pick this
    hill
    to die on.

    Umm, remember *principle*? These people are being "selected" based on
    crimes they're merely *alleged* to have committed.

    But they're still illegal aliens, so even if the government is wrong
    and the
    guy with the Satanic pentagram tattooed onto back of his shaved head
    and the
    demon horns embedded on his forehead and all the murders and >>>>>>>>> rapes he's
    committed graffitied across his torso in coded gang language is--
    against
    all
    odds and common sense-- not a psychopathic MS-13 thug and is just a
    totally
    nice guy, he's STILL AN ILLEGAL ALIEN and subject to deportation.

    If I have a pool of 1000 illegals eligible for deportation and 300
    of them
    look like this...

    https://ibb.co/LD89Khbr

    https://ibb.co/sJJzZ5b7

    ...and most all of them have criminal records on top of it, those
    are the
    ones
    going to the front of my "get the fuck out" line and there's nothing
    either
    legally or morally wrong with that. But hey, if you want to >>>>>>>>> force us to
    pretend all illegals are the same, fine. We'll stop prioritizing the
    violent
    thugs and just start deporting them all. The abuelas and the single
    moms and
    all the sympathetic illegals who otherwise would get a pass are now
    on the
    chopping block because moviePig says we can't look at these evil
    motherfuckers
    and say these guys go first.

    There's nothing wrong with a country saying it doesn't want other
    countries'
    criminals. Leftists gleefully giggled that Trump's "32 felonies"
    means he
    can
    never visit Canada, yet you'll fight to death to keep the guys
    in those
    pictures above here in America.

    Here's another parallel ...maybe you can resist deleting this one:

    Should the Titanic's captain have given priority to the first-class
    passengers in filling the lifeboats? After all, it wouldn't have
    affected the number of saved lives. Or maybe he could've simply favored
    the passengers he informally judged to be of good character... >>>>>>>
    If the Titanic had a hold full of guys like those in the pictures above,
    yes,
    everyone else should have lifeboat priority over them.

    You must wonder why we bother with a trial if the defendant's ugly...

    One wonders if you're really this stupid or just playing it for effect.

    You really think the officers of the Titanic are going to stop and hold a
    trial for *anyone* while the ship is starting tilt bow downward?

    You can't legally discriminate based on crimes that are merely alleged. >>>
    The captain of a sinking ship filling lifeboats absolutely can legally do >>> that.

    'You' in this instance refers to an otherwise unconstrained enforcer of
    the Constitution ...not to the captain of a sinking ship.

    Dude, you were the one who brought up the Titanic and its lifeboats and tried to shame me into addressing it ("maybe you can resist deleting this one"). Now
    that I've addressed it (and showed that your own analogy fails you), you suddenly don't want to talk about it anymore?

    The Titanic analogy -- particularly with respect to the first-class
    passengers -- meant to elicit some glimpse of the vigilantism in
    enforcing one's personal judgments simply because one can.

    I hope you're not saying that Stalin was *only* horrible between 1941
    and 1945. I've read a LOT of books about him and I can assure you he was horrible for pretty much his entire life.

    He once told Beria, the last head of the secret police (which was not
    called the KGB until after Stalin died), that he (Stalin) was so
    paranoid the he (Stalin) thought he (Stalin) was plotting against HIMSELF.

    He once told his daughter, Svetlana, that it was a shame that Hitler had
    turned on him in 1941. "Together," he said, "we could have really done
    some things!"

    Let's just say there are a LOT of Canadians who know where Humboldt SK
    is that didn't back in 2017.

    I agree that the truck driver faces an uphill battle in fighting
    deportation. I am puzzled about why he wants to stay. Personally, I
    think there are still plenty of people who would happily kill him if
    they saw him on the street in this country.

    If I remember the details correctly, he was only in Canada a year when
    the crash happened. He was newly married as well with a kid either just
    born or on the way. I think the kid turned out to have some special
    needs so that might be why he wants to stay here: he might not be able
    to get the same level of care back in India.

    I expect the courts will eventually render a decision on him being able
    to stay but it's going to be interesting to see if the media covers it
    on the front page or not and what, if anything, the politicians say. I
    would certainly expect some blowback against politicians who looked like
    they were in favour of him staying.

    I'm not sure how long it will take to settle this matter. He finished
    his sentence a year or more back but that is nothing compared to the
    time it can take for the courts to rule on things.

    It still boggles my mind that he killed 16 people and injured 13 but got
    only 8 years in the slammer for that. Life really is cheap in this
    country, isn't it? Mind you, if he'd shot people with a gun, he'd still
    only get a 25 year sentence no matter how many he'd shot before he'd be eligible for parole. I'm hoping that changes if Poilievre wins the
    election....

    Deportation isn't automatic. There's a hearing.

    The two main categories of crimes that can put you at risk of
    being deported are aggravated felonies and crimes involving
    moral turpitude. The Immigration and Nationality Act also

    deportation, even if they are not classified in one of those two

    I think Rhino and I have established that this individual is now for

    That said he DID run 3 stop signs in his truck before fatally T-boning

    church for 5 years, they specified his wife and children DIDN'T have
    to leave if that was their choice. (They did)

    Which is why I asked if his deportation order (to be carried out when
    he had served his prison sentence) had been carried out.

    Deportation isn't automatic. There's a hearing.

    The two main categories of crimes that can put you at risk of
    being deported are aggravated felonies and crimes involving
    moral turpitude. The Immigration and Nationality Act also
    enumerates certain crimes that serve as independent grounds of
    deportation, even if they are not classified in one of those two
    categories.

    Am surprised - usually US courts are more bloody minded that Canadian
    courts where the judge does not have authority to deny a deportation
    order for someone convicted of a major offence (which I >think< is any
    crime carrying a sentence of 3 years or more).

    Now getting the order and actully executing the order are two
    different things....

    Just to clarify: It's not a federal court. Congress didn't give
    jurisdication over immigration to federal courts. Deportations are
    ordered at administrative hearings.

    I know. Shonda Rhimes cited this to prove her drama -- with modern sensibilities and modern hair -- is historically accurate. Anything that
    might resemble history is the merest of coincidence.

    Then did she mention that MOST of the black folks who immigrated to
    Britain were ex-Arab slaves?
