Noem confuses a constitutional right with its abuse. Imagine my surprise.

That is clearly a right and its called such.

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
It's questionable. Always interesting how the "well regulated milia" part is always played down while extra emphasis is always placed upon "shall not be infringed."
So it's always just a matter of interpretation.
Likewise the SCOTUS has interpreted Article I of The 14th Amendment to include the right of Habeus Corpus to ALL PEOPLE, citizen or immigrant, legal or illegal alike.
It is one of the founding principles of our republic which can be traced back to The Magna Carta ((1215).
The principle is simple and not hard to fathom for us now but was pretty radical in it's day.
It's all about God given rights that can never be taken away by any king, or government, or wannabe dictator like Donald Trump.
All of our laws are based upon this principle.
These rights are not "given" they are bestowed by God on ALL people equally just by virtue of being born a human being.
Many countries don't base their laws on this thinking. That's why many of those people want to come here.
Maybe you would be happier living in one of THEIR countries.....since you don't seem to much like the way we do things here.

The 14th Amendment was written in the 1860s with Black Americans who were already here, and most generationally, in mind. STFU you drooling idiot.
 
Why? The constitution says it’s a right

It says HC is a priv

Perhaps you dembots should actually look at the Constitution
It does not apply to foreign invaders in our country.
Article IV, Section 4. Any bit of government not upholding that, is guilty of violating their oaths of office.
Judiciary, Congress, Mayors, whoever takes an oath to The Constitution.
 
Well Maxine is dumber than an old cleaning woman. And she's quizzing distinguished accomplished bank CEO's? This just shows the utter incompetence of the Democrat Party.
So is Noem dumb as a bag of rocks since she doesn't know what habeas corpus is and she is the Homeland Security Secretary.

Might as well get a cleaning woman to take Maxine's Chair on the Banking Committee. She had absolutely no idea what was going on. She lacked the intelligence to even know what she didn't know. It would be like a gnat trying to understand calculus. I remember when she trying to grill billionaire Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin. He couldn't hide his disdain for her. He even motioned to her how to use her gavel. Democrats get laughable people to run stuff. Think about 0bama trying to run the country. He had no experience running anything or producing anything. Ever. He was by far the least qualified candidate for the presidency while Trump is by far the MOST qualified. It showed in both cases. Trump did a fantastic job. 0bama was a disaster.

Onviously you accuse her of "not knowing the basics because her opinions don't align with yours, but here's the thing....you should always defer to and trust, on any subject, those who have vastly more experience and knowledge than you.
In this case KBJ.
She's a legal scholar and one of the highest judges in the land.
No, because when the Senate was questioning her she was clueless.

I could care less about her opinions, I DO CARE that she is clueless about the Constitution.
 

Noem says Trump can deport who he wants, botches what ‘habeas corpus’ means

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Tuesday that President Donald Trump has an absolute right to deport people without due process, after she incorrectly defined the meaning of the term habeas corpus.

Noem was grilled on habeas corpus — the constitutional right of individuals to challenge their detention by the government in a court of law — during the Senate hearing.

“Secretary Noem, what is habeas corpus?” asked Sen. Maggie Hassan, D-N.H.

“Well, habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country,” Noem replied.

“That’s incorrect,” Hassan interjected. “Habeas corpus is the foundational right that separates free societies like America from police states like North Korea.”


Don't feel too badly Kristi. Hardly anyone in the regime understands the concept.
Doesn't matter.

So long as she ejects millions of Illegal Aliens from our soil and keep us safe, I just don't care.

If she or anybody else gets out-of-hand then the courts will handle it.

Meanwhile... she's doing a great job... keep it up, Madame Secretary... :clap:

Any habeas bullshit is handled by the DOJ, not Homeland.
 
I hope the demented LEFT keep up their noble struggle for THE "RIGHTS" OF ILLEGAL ALIENS.
Keep crying.
Keep shouting.
Keep assaulting ICE facilities.
Keep on striving AGAINST WE THE PEOPLE.
All the way to THE MIDTERMS!!!!

I unfortunately had to do a crash course in the U.S. constitution in order to make an assessment of just how bad thing had gotten in our country (found out that they had always been this bad with the exception of the time period that began on 1/20/2025). I was very surprised to learn that our laws were actually fashioned to protect the rights of not the individuals who are innocent, but those who are actually guilty.

I know this seems counter-intuitive and I didn't believe it either when I first read it but I have since researched it further and essentially, it's not so much that people are [more] concerned about the rights of "illegal aliens" as they are that the rights of EVERYONE be protected.

Because if you put your support behind violating the rights of others because you don't believe they are entitled to them for whatever reason, then you can't rightfully expect any support when YOUR rights are violated especially if you're innocent, how could you?

⚖️ Why the U.S. legal system seems built for the guilty — not the innocent​


At its core, the U.S. Constitution and legal system were designed to protect people from the government, not just to sort out guilt vs. innocence.

The Founders weren’t imagining innocent people getting arrested all the time — they were imagining a government that might try to jail people just because it could. That’s the key difference.



🤯 So here’s the big, counterintuitive truth:​


Our system was not built to find the truth.
It was built to limit how much power the government can use to get it.



🧠 In plain terms:​


Imagine if you were actually guilty of something — let's say, stealing a car. Even if you did it, the cops and courts still have to play fair:
  • They can’t break into your house without a warrant
  • They can’t force you to confess
  • They can’t hide evidence from your lawyer
  • They can’t convict you without giving you a fair trial
That’s because the system assumes:
  • If the government can railroad the guilty, it can do even worse to the innocent
  • So the rules are designed to slow things down, even if it means some guilty people walk free


😑 But here’s why that hurts the innocent:​


If you’re innocent:
  • You’re often treated just like someone guilty
  • You still get arrested, booked, dragged into court, forced to pay a lawyer
  • The system doesn't automatically favor you just because you're telling the truth
Because the rules are neutral — they protect everyone the same, guilty or not



⚠️ Why It Feels Backward​


If you're innocent, you want the system to say:

"Let’s believe you first and prove you didn't do it."

But instead, it says:

"We’ll treat you like a suspect, and you can prove you didn't do it while we act like you did."

This isn't because the system assumes you're guilty — it’s because it tries to avoid abusing power, and in doing so, it offers the same protections to everyone… even if they don’t deserve it. [theoretically]



🧵 Bottom Line:​


Our laws were designed to stop the government from crushing people — even guilty ones — because once that crushing power exists, it’s easy to use it on anyone.

So the system:
  • Moves slowly
  • Demands proof
  • Gives everyone the benefit of the doubt — even when they don’t deserve it

That’s what protects the innocent in theory, but in practice? It also means you don’t get a fast-track just because you're innocent.
