Xi Van Fleet @XVanFleet I just started watching Ken Burns's documentary The American Revolution. Knowing his political leanings, 1 paid close attention to the details. One moment immediately stood out in episode 1. In discussing the First Continental Congress and the delegates from the thirteen colonies, historian Stacy Schiff described them as people essentially from "different countries" and "different religions." That framing is factually wrong. Distinct Christian denominations are not different religions, and the thirteen colonies were not foreign nations to one another. Presenting them this way subtly reframes the American founding as a product of multiculturalism. This is a soft Marxist reinterpretation of history-one that distorts the reality of the founding era.

Lizza Nuzzi part 6: 'Bobby was behind the whole thing.'
gofile.io/d/ycgOQR
www.telos.news/p/part-6-bob...
During their fateful conversation in late September-when Olivia and Bobby plotted ways to block my reporting for Politico and kill a Wall Street Journal article he feared could cost him his marriage and a Trump cabinet post-Bobby instructed Olivia to go to Washington, D.C's domestic violence court and file a restraining order against me based on false allegations. I know this because Olivia immediately told a mutual friend about the conversation with Bobby, and the friend called me and gave me a detailed readout of the call so I could prepare, including by retaining a lawyer. "Bobby is the one who told her to do the protective order," Olivia's friend said. A second person who is close to both Olivia and Bobby corroborated this version of events. "Bobby was behind the whole thing," this person told me.

I was in a tribunal a week ago where DHS moved to pretermit every single asylum case on "safe third country grounds." Every. single. one.

At one point, a judge scheduled a second master for a man to prove he would be in danger in Honduras. Confused, he said "No, Peru. I'm from Peru."

Immigration judges are "pretermitting" huge swathes of asylum claims on the grounds that the person can be deported to a third country instead — one of the explicit statutory grounds for denying the right to apply for asylum.

This is now happening at large scale nationwide.

Dude was all you want blood you got it
To its credit, the government does not maintain that early Americans disarmed or feared immigrants. That would be preposterous. Early Americans were immigrants. The government instead re-urges its argument about America's history of disarming out-groups like Native Americans and Catholics. If they did it then, the argument goes, we can do it now. Setting aside for a moment how odious and shameful it is to make this argument in a land upon which millions of Native Americans lived before European colonization, and in a Nation where tens of millions of Americans are descendants of slaves, Native American and Catholic disarmament fails the 'how and why' test outlined in Bruen and Rahimi. Colonial and early Americans disarmed Native Americans and Catholics for a variety of reasons. Manifest Destiny was part of the story: "colonial gun laws continually sought to limit Indian access to firearms" because Native Americans had "resisted the conquest of their lands" for 200 years. Michael A. Bellesiles, Gun Laws in Early America: The Regulation of Firearms Ownership, 1607-1794, 16 Law & Hist. Rev. 567, 574 (1998). Religious intolerance certainly played a role in the disarmament of Catholics. See Joseph G.S. Greenlee, The Historical Justification for Prohibiting Dangerous Persons from Possessing Arms, 20 Wyo. L. Rev. 249, 263(2020). Other early Americans likely feared "that these groups would use guns to revolt or otherwise threaten the public safety." Kanter v. Barr, 919 F.3d 437, 458 (7th Cir. 2019) (Barrett, J., dissenting) (citation omitted). Perhaps bigotry, religious intolerance, and fear were all legs propping up the same stool-guns for me but not for thee. But bigotry and religious intolerance are obviously unconstitutional reasons to restrict Constitutional rights To its credit, the government does not maintain that early Americans disarmed or feared immigrants.

Perhaps bigotry, religious intolerance, and fear were all legs propping up the same stool-guns for me but not for thee. But bigotry and religious intolerance are obviously unconstitutional reasons to restrict Constitutional rights Returning to the Bruen-Rahimi standard, the government then justifies immigrant disarmament with two historical examples: (1) English officers had the power to disarm persons deemed dangerous, and (2) some legislatures in revolutionary America disarmed persons who refused to swear loyalty to the revolution or defamed the Continental Congress. Docket No. 18 at 12. The Court remains sympathetic to the principle that American history and tradition support disarmament of dangerous persons. Justice Barrett persuasively explained why when she sat on the Seventh Circuit. See Kanter, 919 F.3d at 451 (Barrett, J., dissenting). But Mr. Benito has never been convicted of a crime, much less a dangerous crime, so he can't be disarmed yet. The remaining examples, meanwhile, cannot be enforced without violating existing law. The First Amendment obviously protects criticism of public officials. New York Times Co. v. Sullivan, 376 U.S. 254 (1964). Constitutional protections are not predicated upon loyalty oaths, see Verdugo-Urquidez, 494 U.S. at 271, which for that matter are Constitutionally suspect, see Keyishian v. Bd. of Regents of Univ. of State of N.Y., 385 U.S. 589 (1967). And it should be noted that millions of undocumented immigrants in this country want to and would swear loyalty to the United States if only given the opportunity.? The government's argument returns to citizenship. Because Mr. Benito is in the country without legal authorization, it suggests, he's already a dangerous lawbreaker who can be disarmed. Docket No. 18 at 12. Missing here is any evidence of history or tradition demonstrating that disarmament based on immigration status is consistent with "what was done at the founding." Rahimi, 2024 WL 3074728, at *6. In the late 1700s, "the notion of illegal immigration did not exist." Sing-Ledezma, 2023 WL 8587869, at *10 (collecting sources). In the early 1800s, "foreigners who arrived in the United States were not deemed 'illegal' upon entry and were not subject to inspection." Id. at *11. The notion of "legal authorization" to be here was laughable. It ignores history. The land was forcibly appropriated from Native Americans by immigrants, and early American society encouraged more immigration so it could settle that land. Unsurprisingly, then, the government has pointed to no evidence that "in the 18th or 19th century," the government disarmed immigrants based upon their status. Daniels, 77 F.4th at 340. Such steps would have come as a shock to "financier of the revolution" Robert Morris (born in England), our Nation's first Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton (born in Nevis), and signatory-to-the- Constitution-turned-Supreme-Court-Justice William Paterson (born in Ireland). Because the principle was abhorrent to the founding era, it fails Bruen and Rahimi.
